Outlook: First year Head Coach Jason Weatherby is blessed to have the kind of depth that has not been experienced before among the Redskins. Key outstanding players to watch include Jake Mote FB/ILB, Phino Lavitia RB, Gary Gellerman C/ILB, Dan Walters WR/CB, Alex Fee SWR/CB, Steven Klith S/RB, Jake Hummel WR/OLB, Craig Mossa S/RB/CB and Nick Baatrup QB. The 2008 Calaveras team has depth at the wide receiver, running back and quarterback positions. Hey also have many players returning on defense. Coach Weatherby has a group of untested linemen, however. Insiders believe their Redskins will be improved this year, primarily due to the number of skill positions returning.
