"The disparity between the Washington Redskins and their NFC East division counterparts became painfully clear - for the umpteenth time this season - in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson, one of the fastest and most explosive players in the NFL, ran past double coverage to catch a 62-yard touchdown pass that quarterback Michael Vick zinged with a simple flick of his wrist.

The Redskins, as their 5-11 record shows, lack players capable of consistently making such game-changing plays, the ones that make you say, "Wow!" for the right reasons. For as much as head coach and top personnel decision-maker Mike Shanahan believes in his schemes, he knows top players are essential to running them effectively.

Shanahan, then, is determined over the next several months to find top talent and add it to his program."
