The first day of hard, serious preparation and practice for the Washington Redskins has begun and, amazingly, the Miami Dolphins plan of the entire training camp has come together.
That plan has been to have Branden Albert start at left tackle and receiver DeVante Parker be available to play and contribute in the opener. And that's exactly how it is going to play out -- barring a significant and unexpected injury in practice the next three days.
Albert today admitted he's starting for the first time even though it has been known for some time by readers of this blog, anyway.
