Donovan McNabb about to host "Hell Week"
Beginning Monday morning, Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb will host what he has dubbed "Hell Week" in Arizona, per Rick Maese of The Washington Post.
With 11 days to go until the Redskins report for training camp on July 29th, McNabb will work with the team's receivers, tight ends and running backs in order to get a head start in their preparation for the upcoming season.
"I think it's important for the specialists on the offense to have that chemistry, to have that bond," McNabb says, "where they can trust me and I can trust them."
Redskins wide receiver Devin Thomas shares McNabb's sentiment.
Thomas said, "It's a great time to build that chemistry without the coaches being there. You just get a little of that extra bonding time to lead into training camp."
McNabb's trainer, Brett Fischer, says his Redskins' teammates are in for "an eye opener."
"I think it's an eye opener for them, comparing themselves with their quarterback, with how hard he's working out here. To me, it's him telling them, 'Hey, I'm taking this thing seriously to the next level. Let's go to the next level.'"
It's always beneficial when an offense puts in extra time to develop their chemistry and rapport on a voluntary basis like this. It's even more important when the team has a new quarterback.
McNabb, who is my 11th-ranked quarterback for fantasy football, threw for 3,553 yards and 22 touchdowns in 14 games last year.
