There are a couple of notable Redskins' notes tonight. First, the team's horrid defense will face a rookie this Sunday. The Eagles say Donovan McNabb will start at quarterback this Sunday. And former Redskins' coach and player Dick Todd died today at the age of 85. Todd played alongside Sammy Baugh in the 1940's and also coached the team for a year and a half.
