Washington Redskins head coach is confident that starting wide receiver Santana Moss won’t be disciplined by the NFL following the news that Moss allegedly received HGH from Canadien doctor Anthony Galea, who was accused of drug smuggling, conspiracy, lying to federal agents, unlawful distribution of HGH and introducing an unapproved drug into interstate commerce last week. Shanahan has said that he feels “very good” about the situation.
Moss, who was one of a handful of athletes who allegedly received HGH from Galea, has declined to comment on the story to the media, but told his teammates that he had no idea that the doctor was injecting him with HGH during the three times he was treated by him.
Still, the NFL could suspend Moss whether he knowingly took the HGH or not. Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear that he’s going to be proactive about disciplining players to maintain the integrity of his league. Multiple players, including star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, have been suspended without ever being found guilty of anything in the court of law.
In light of this story and the possibility that Moss, the team’s No. 1 receiver, could miss time this season, rumors have swirled about Terrell Owens joining the Redskins. The embattled Owens, who spent last season in Buffalo, has yet to find a home. It would be an interesting acquisition, reuniting him with quarterback Donovan McNabb, with whom Owens had a tenuous relationship during their season together in Philadelphia.

The Washington Redskins have cut 10 players, and several of them happen to be marquee names.
The most notable players released are wide receiver Antwan Randle El, cornerback Fred Smoot, and defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin.
Also released were offensive lineman Randy Thomas, backup quarterback Todd Collins, and backup running backs Ladell Bells and Rock Cartwright.
The moves signal a major change in philosophy for the Redskins, who now appear to be heading in the right direction.
The only way the team is going to fix the mess that has been going on for a decade now is to gut the roster and start almost from scratch.

After the fans booed the Redskins off the field in their 9-7 victory over San Diego, one Washington Redskins player took exception to the negative reaction and criticized the fans on his Twitter account.
What a mistake that turned out to be.
The rookie linebacker, Robert Henson (who hasn’t played in a regular season game yet), posted the following to his Twitter account:
“All you fake half hearted Skins fan can .. I won’t go there but I dislike you very strongly, don’t come to Fed Ex to boo dim wits!!”
He went on to ask how the fans could criticize the offense when they worked 9 to 5 at McDonalds.
But fans and the media spoke out even more vociferously against the verbose LB, causing him to close his Twitter account on Tuesday. Consider this a lesson learned about social media for the rookie.

Jason Campbell may have eased Redskins’ fans fears slightly one week after a dismal one-for-seven performance, as Campbell completed 13-of-22 passes for 209 yards in the Redskins’ 27-24 loss to the New England Patriots on Friday night at FedEx Field.
Campbell started hot, going a perfect 4-for-4 on the opening drive that ended with a one-yard run from RB Marcus Mason. After three consecutive three-and-outs, Campbell led the Skins down the field again, this time capping the drive with his own four yard run.
“I was very pleased,” coach Jim Zorn said. “He was very much into the game. He was competing hard and doing the things that you want. We missed on a couple of long ones, but he came back and was running the show.”
The starters left the field tied 17-17 and left the outcome up to the backups. Backup QB Colt Brennan finished 6-of-12 for 81 yards, with one TD and one INT returned for six on the other end.
