The one thing I hate most about the offseason - other than the fact that there are no football games - is the tendency of the media to turn things into bigger stories than they really are. For Redskins fans, this was evident last week when Sean Taylor and Shawn Springs failed to show up for the team's (in)voluntary OTA's.
Will a missed practice in May by two of our better secondary players really be that big of a hindrance come September? In fact, I don't want Springs participating because of his fragile state. If he gets injured now, the secondary is in trouble the entire rest of the 2007 season.
Granted, we do want to see and can use more unity from this squad, but there is still plenty of time to develop that. A season is not won or lost based on OTA's from May. And when something really newsworthy happens next week, the missing DB's will be forgotten, even if Taylor showed up this week.
