Redskins' receivers to join Donovan McNabb for "hell week"
Posted by Michael David Smith on July 18, 2010 12:40 PM ET
The Redskins will open training camp in Ashburn, Virginia, on July 29, but Donovan McNabb and some of his teammates are getting a head start.

Rick Maese of the Washington Post reports that receivers Devin Thomas, Santana Moss and Malcolm Kelly are among the players who have accepted McNabb's invitation to spend this week in Arizona for an intense series of workouts in the desert heat.

"I think it's important for the specialists on the offense to have that chemistry, to have that bond," McNabb said, "where they can trust me and I can trust them."

McNabb calls the workouts -- which he also did with teammates in Philadelphia -- "hell week."

"It's a different mindset," McNabb said. "I prepare guys the way I prepare."

For some players, a week of relaxation might make more sense than a week of hell right before the start of camp, but Thomas is among those expressing excitement at the opportunity to get extra work in.

"Can't nothing but good come out of the situation when you go out and work out with your quarterback before the season starts," 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."

Oh hell to the **** yeah!

Moss, Kelly and Thomas there is great news. I'd hope that Cooley and Davis would join them as well.

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest searching within that web site for "McNabb".

Now people can stop *****ing about Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly being too lazy to work out with McNabb and how they're busts because they didn't produce 1000 yard years with poor coaching and spotty QB play.

I'm excited to see DT blow up this year and I also expect Kelly to develop into a nice redzone threat.

Wish Armstrong and Austin were there but they may not have the scratch as of yet.

Ahh awesome. When I heard that Devin Thomas was working out with Ochocinco I was pissed, cause, why not just work with McNabb? This is great news and really shows what a turnaround this offseason has already been.

Also, working out in Arizona is NOT FUN. Haha, so major props to those guys for putting the work in.

Better yet, go to the actual story by Rick Maese at the WP.
