McNabb unconcerned about Santana Moss's link to Galea

Washington Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb said Wednesday he's not concerned about Santana Moss's connection to Anthony Galea, the Toronto-based physician charged with unlawful distribution of human growth hormone.

McNabb tried to diffuse the situation with levity.

"I don't think he took anything to get taller, "McNabb said of his 5-foot-10-inch wide receiver, "because that didn't work."

McNabb has spoken with Moss about the allegations. McNabb said he does not view the situation as a "controversy" because "knowing him, and knowing that situation, there was nothing involved with him. His name was on the list, but there were a bunch of names on the list."

McNabb sounded excited about Moss getting healthy and joining a receivers
corps with few proven players. Moss continues to recover from a knee injury.

"The guy's got a knack for big-play ability," McNabb said. "I've seen it first hand. When he's back here healthy and ready to go, it's going to be another piece of our puzzle."

While the Redskins settle their wide receivers, they will rely on depth at running back and tight end. McNabb sounded especially encouraged by the tight ends. Both Chris Cooley and Fred Davis have been productive and the Redskins' offense has flexibility that allows the tight ends to be utilized in different ways, including playing at the same time.

"When you have a tandem like these two that you can split and try to create mismatches with, it helps your offense go a little bit easier," McNabb said. "I think I can say with confidence that this is the best tandem...in the NFC East, definitely."
