THE NEW GUYS

Pierre Garcon: Easily the most impressive player on the Redskins' offense on Day 1, Garcon looked like the polished veteran receiver Washington wanted when it aggressively moved to add him. Many other players showed plenty of rust; Garcon wasn't one of them.

Josh Morgan: No Redskins receiver topped 1,000 yards last season. The team clearly made it a priority to change that in 2012. However, many of its moves were based on potential. Garcon and Morgan have yet to eclipse 1,000 yards in any season; Garcon came the closest in 2011 (when he had 947). On Thursday, Morgan like the front-runner to start alongside Garcon, with Santana Moss in the slot. The Redskins are obviously expecting big things from Morgan and Garcon.

OVERHEARD

"A lot of the stuff in the past, we've created ourselves, with the different distractions, drama and things like that. Right now, we just have a team of guys that just really want to go about their business."

-- London Fletcher, on what it's like to enter a training camp that feels "normal."

OUTLOOK

It's true: There really is reason for hope with the Redskins. But don't think Washington is already a playoff-caliber team. The offensive line has issues with depth and durability. Though the defense should be solid, several positional battles still need to be decided. Of course, the Redskins are still destined to go as far as Griffin can take them. This is his squad. How much time will RG3 need? It won't take forever, but he'll need more than one season. Winning eight games in 2012 would be a notable success.
