What we learned, Vol 1, Chapter 2.

Redskins 17, Steelers 14.

What we learned:

Chase Daniel can play. The rookie threw two touchdown passes in his first action of his professional career. He looked poised and smart. He might put some pressure on Todd Collins and Colt Brennan, if he can keep up his play. Speaking of Brennan ...

Colt Brennan has lost his mojo. Whatever he did last preseason, when he was nearly unstoppable, his luck has run out. Brennan has thrown zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. He's been the most disappointing QB on the Redskins' roster, and that's saying something. If he doesn't pick his play up, Daniel might steal his roster spot.

The Redskins starting unit still can't pass the ball. Jason Campbell completes just 1 pass in 7 attempts. For just 10 yards. Clinton Portis can still run. The offensive line looks like it can still do its thing, running and pass blocking. Campbell's performance was troubling, though. He hasn't looked in sync with his offense this year, but he hasn't exactly been given extended playing time.

Look for Campbell to play a half this week against the Patriots.

Brian Orakpo is still awesome. The rookie didn't get much for stats, but stood out on the field. Should be interesting to see him on the field for an entire game.

Dominique Dorsey should make the team, but probably won't. He has looked like an exciting return man on punt and kick returns, and looked decent as a running back. Coach Jim Zorn won't keep four running backs on the roster. Clinton Portis will make the team, as will Ladell Betts. Rock Cartwright is the third running back, and plays on all special teams.

Rock is a solid return man, and is excellent on coverage teams. Dorsey could provide more spark in the return game, but will need to stand out the last two preseason games to make the squad.
