John Beck was able to stretch the field against the Eagles which was something Rex was unable to do.  Beck took multiple shots down the field in an attempt to move the ball.  He had a beautiful throw to Terrence Austin for 32 yards to set up his rushing touchdown. Beck also threw deep to Gaffney (dropped), Stallworth (dropped), and Fred Davis (bad throw).  At least the Redskins were taking shots downfield.  Whenever Rex dropped back in a five- or seven-step drop, it seemed that the Skins were doomed for a check-down throw or a wobbly interception.  The most frustrating thing in the world is seeing Rex check-down and throw a five-yard pass on third-and-10.  With Beck there was none of that.  If it was a third- or fourth-and-long, he was throwing it past the marker

First, the wide receivers: Though there are eight listed, Shanahan said he considers second-year player Brandon Banks only as a return specialist — a role in which he excelled last year and one in which he returned a punt 95 yards for a touchdown in last week’s preseason finale against Tampa Bay. Banks has battled a balky left knee since last season, a factor in Shanahan’s thinking. “He’s a guy that I’m even afraid to really practice as a wide receiver, because that knee swells up,” Shanahan said.
