SERIES HISTORY: Redskins lead overall series, 12-11
Regular season series is tied, 9-9
Last meeting: Nov. 7, 2013 (34-27, MIN)
Two of Week 8’s most dramatic victors will face one another on Sunday as the Washington Redskins will travel to play the Minnesota Vikings
in Week 9. Kickoff at TCF Bank Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET.
On Monday, the Redskins defeated the previously 6-1 Dallas Cowboys
in a 20-17 overtime victory. Kicker Kai Forbath converted a 40-yard field
goal attempt on the first possession of overtime, and the Redskins’ defense
followed by forcing a turnover on downs to give the Redskins their first
overtime victory against the Cowboys since Nov. 2, 1975. The Vikings are
coming off of a Week 8 victory in which rookie linebacker Anthony Barr
helped Minnesota defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a walkoff 27yard fumble return in overtime.
The Redskins have now won consecutive games for the first time since
a seven-game winning streak to close the 2012 season, engineered in part
by quarterback Colt McCoy’s two debut efforts in burgundy and gold. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, McCoy became the first player in NFL
history with a minimum of 25 passes to complete 80 percent of his passes
and average 10 yards per pass over his first two games with a team.

ALUMNI CENTER
Formally organized in 1958, the Washington Redskins
Alumni Association was the first organization of its kind in
the country. The organization spearheaded the alumni movement among former professional football players and was the
model for other alumni groups that later formed in all NFL
cities. Now entering its 56th year, the Alumni Association
continues to celebrate those who have contributed to more
than eight decades of Redskins football dating back to the
team’s inception in 1932.
The primary objectives of the Redskins Alumni are promoting a
continuing interest in current and past players of the Washington Redskins, as well as promoting and fostering interest and funding for charitable purposes. With respect to the latter, the alumni conduct fundraising
events to raise money that can be donated to charitable organizations or
used in other ways to help improve the quality of life for youth in the
Greater Washington community.
Today, Redskins alumni continue to make their presence known
throughout the community. As a very active chapter of the NFL Alumni
Association, their motto is “Caring for Kids.” In addition to the numerous events and appearances Redskins Alumni participate in throughout
the year, they hold two major fundraising events of their own — the Redskins Alumni Charity Golf Classic, now in its 36th year, and the annual
Washington Redskins Welcome Home Luncheon, now in its 53rd year.
The alumni have an office at Redskins Park and can be reached at
703-726-7488. Since his arrival in Washington in December of 2009,
President/General Manager Bruce Allen has made it a priority to build
a bridge to the franchise’s historic past. During the Redskins’ NFC East
title-winning season in 2012, that mission came to the forefront as the
team celebrated its 80th anniversary.
“This year, the Washington Redskins will be celebrating our 80th
anniversary season. I’m proud to be with the franchise in our nation’s
capital, one with such a rich tradition and gloried past on and off the
field,” Allen said in a July 2012 column filling in for Sports Illustrated’s
Peter King. “The current Redskins players, coaches, fans and staff owe a
big debt of gratitude to the people who have made the Redskins one of
the flagship franchises in sports.”
Throughout the 2012 offseason, the Redskins traversed the Washington D.C./Maryland/Virginia area as part of the team’s ‘Thank You
Tour,’ which brought players, coaches, alumni, cheerleaders, team officials and more to fans throughout the entire region to help celebrate the
team’s historic heritage.
That heritage continues to be honored amongst the game’s elite, as
in August 2011, former Redskin great Chris Hanburger was enshrined in
the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. He was presented by his
son, Chris. Hanburger was voted into the Hall after being a nominee of
the seniors committee. In all, he waited 28 years to be elected.
Hanburger joined Darrell Green (2008), Art Monk (2008) and Russ
Grimm (2010) to make four players who spent the majority of their careers with the Redskins to earn the honor in the past five years. In addition, former Redskins Bruce Smith (2009) and Deion Sanders (2011)
have also been elected over that time. Hanburger said of his election to
the Hall of Fame: “It’s wonderful, I’m overwhelmed. It’s just such a tremendous honor to even be nominated, let alone be voted in. You have to
think about all of the men that played before I did, certainly the men that
I played with and against, and then you look at the guys playing now. It’s
just a select few that make it in. I was fortunate to play with players on the
Redskins defense that made it all work for me.”
On Aug. 22, the Washington
Redskins Charitable Foundation
and Redskins Alumni Association held the 53rd annual Welcome
Home Luncheon at the Gaylord
National Resort and Convention
Center in National Harbor, Md.
The annual event celebrates the burgundy and gold and kicks off each
football season with Redskins players, coaches and alumni.
The Redskins Welcome Home Luncheon is annually the only event
where fans and corporate partners have the chance to spend time with
the entire Redskins team. Each table is guaranteed at least one player
or coach seated with the attendees. Proceeds from the event benefit the
youth programs of the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation and
Redskins Alumni Association.
The Redskins used the 2014 event to honor their players for contributions both on and off the field. Tackle Trent Williams earned the 2013
Bobby Mitchell Offensive Player of the Year award, cornerback DeAngelo
Hall earned the 2013 Sam Huff Defensive Player of the Year award, quarterback Robert Griffin III won the 2013 Redskins Salute Award for his
efforts with the military, and running back Alfred Morris accepted the
2013 Community Service Award.
Also among the Redskins Alumni Association’s premier events is
the team’s annual Alumni Homecoming celebration, which the Redskins
hosted in 2014 during the team’s Week 7 win against Tennessee. Not including staff and coaches, players in attendance represented nearly 500
combined seasons of Redskins service, 77 combined Super Bowl appearances, 47 combined Super Bowl titles, 25 members of the 80 Greatest
Redskins, 14 Redskins Ring of Famers and five Pro Football Hall of Famers. In addition, as announced by Allen at the Welcome Home Luncheon
in August, the Redskins used the Alumni Homecoming celebration to
induct Super Bowl XXVI MVP Mark Rypien as the 46th member of the
team’s Ring of Fame.
“Homecoming and Alumni Weekend is very special,” Rypien said.
“We get to honor those that played before us that paved the path, that
showed us what it was like to be a Redskin. We get to honor those who
played after us that represented this organization. And last night, and
throughout this day today, I get to honor those that I played with. A piece
of every one of those players is up there with me along with the 56,000
fans at RFK Stadium that cheered us to a Super Bowl and greatness.”

Head Coach Jay Gruden
Jay Gruden was named the 29th head coach of the Washington Redskins on January 9, 2014.
Excluding interim coaches, Gruden, 46 at the time of his
hiring, became the team’s youngest head coaching hire since
hiring eventual Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs at 40 years
of age in 1981. He became the first Redskins coach hired directly from an offensive coordinator role on another team since
Norv Turner in 1994.
Before joining the Redskins, Gruden spent his previous three seasons
as offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals. In his tenure in Cincinnati, the Bengals averaged 10 wins a season, making three consecutive
playoff appearances and earning an AFC North championship in 2013.
Members of the Bengals’ offense accounted for seven Pro Bowl selections
in his three seasons in Cincinnati.
Gruden was tasked with the development of quarterback Andy Dalton, a 2011 second-round pick. In three seasons together, Gruden helped
Dalton to a 30-18 regular season record as a starter (.625), as Dalton’s 30
wins in that time frame ranked tied for fifth-most among NFL quarterbacks. Dalton’s 80 passing touchdowns rank third-most in NFL history for
a quarterback in his first three seasons, trailing only Dan Marino (98) and
Peyton Manning (85).
Prior to joining the Bengals, Gruden served two years with the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League from 2009-10. In 2009, Gruden
served as offensive coordinator under current Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett as the Tuskers compiled a 6-0 regular season record and
earned a UFL championship game berth. In 2010, he assumed the roles of
head coach and general manager and led the Tuskers to their second consecutive championship game appearance.
Gruden coached for seven seasons (2002-08) with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earning a Super Bowl championship ring as an offensive assistant
in 2002. There he worked under his brother, Jon, then the Bucs’ head coach,
and current Redskins Executive Vice President/General Manager Bruce
Allen, the Bucs’ general manager from 2004-08. Gruden helped guide the
Buccaneers to the team’s first league championship, a 48-21 victory in Super
Bowl XXXVII.
Gruden also ranks among the most outstanding players and coaches in
the history of the Arena Football League, having won six combined league
championships – four as a quarterback and two as a head coach. Gruden
played quarterback (2002-03) and served as head coach (2004-08) of the
AFL’s Orlando Predators, all while simultaneously working as an offensive
assistant with the Buccaneers. In all, Gruden served as head coach of the
Predators for nine seasons (1998-2001 and 2004-08), leading the Predators
to four championship game appearances and two league titles as a coach.
During a two-year hiatus from coaching the Predators in 2002-03, he returned to the playing field as Orlando’s quarterback, leading the Predators
to playoff appearances in both seasons.
In his eight seasons as a player in the AFL, Gruden completed 1,673of-2,775 passes (60.3 percent) for 21,578 yards with 398 touchdowns and
99 interceptions. In addition to his time with Orlando, he spent six seasons
(1991-96) at quarterback for the Tampa Bay Storm, winning four AFL titles
and being named MVP of ArenaBowl VII in 1993. He was also named the
1992 AFL Most Valuable Player and was honored with induction into the
AFL Hall of Fame in 1999.
Gruden played quarterback for four seasons for former Redskins draft
pick Howard Schnellenberger at the University of Louisville (1985-88) and
was a two-time team MVP.
Gruden was born March 4, 1967 in Tiffin, Ohio. He and his wife, Sherry, have three sons — J.J., Joey and Jack.
Jay Gruden, 46 at the time of his hiring, became the youngest head coach hired by the Redskins on a
non-interim basis since the team hired 40-year-old Joe Gibbs in 1981.

Notes from Last Game
The Washington Redskins defeated the Dallas Cowboys,
20-17, in overtime in front of an announced crowd of 87,055
people at AT&T Stadium on Monday night.
Kicker Kai Forbath converted a 40-yard field goal attempt on
the first possession of overtime. The Redskins’ defense followed
by forcing a turnover on downs to give the Redskins their first
overtime victory since a 30-24 win vs. San Diego on Nov. 3,
2013.
The Redskins are now 25-14-1 all-time in overtime games. The Redskins’
25 all-time overtime wins are tied with the Denver Broncos for the most
all-time in regular season play.
Including a win last week, the Redskins have now won consecutive games
for the first time since winning seven straight to close the 2012 season.
The Redskins appeared on Monday Night Football for the 65th time in
team history. It was the 16th all-time meeting between the Redskins and
Cowboys on Monday Night Football, the second-most played matchup in
Monday Night Football history.
The Redskins earned their first Monday night win against Dallas since
the “Monday Night Miracle” on Sept. 19, 2005 in which the Redskins erased
a 13-0 deficit with two Santana Moss touchdowns in the final four minutes
for a 14-13 victory.
The Redskins evened their all-time Monday night record against the
Cowboys at 8-8 with the win.
The victory represented the Redskins’ first overtime win against Dallas
since Nov. 2, 1975. In that game, quarterback Billy Kilmer’s one-yard touchdown run gave the Redskins a 30-24 overtime win.
The victory was the Redskins’ first win on Monday Night Football since
Dec. 3, 2012 vs. the New York Giants.
Quarterback Colt McCoy made his first start as a member of the Redskins. It was McCoy’s first NFL start since Dec. 8, 2011 as a member of the
Cleveland Browns.
McCoy completed 25-of-30 passes for 299 yards and a passer rating of
94.3.McCoy’s 83.3 percent completion percentage was the highest of his
career among games he has started. It is the fourth-highest completion percentage by a Redskins quarterback with at least 20 attempts since the 1970
AFL-NFL merger.
McCoy scored on a seven-yard run in the third quarter, the second rushing touchdown of his career and his first since Nov. 7, 2010 as a member of
the Browns.
The rushing touchdown was the first by a Redskins quarterback since
Robert Griffin III scored on a third-quarter run vs. Dallas in Week 17 of
the 2012 season.
Wide receiver DeSean Jackson gained a team-high 136 receiving yards
on six receptions.
Jackson recorded a 49-yard reception in the second quarter and a 45yard reception in the third quarter. They were his 41st and 42nd career
receptions of 40 yards or more, most in the NFL since he entered the league
in 2008. Jackson has seven such receptions this season, most in the NFL.
The 100-yard receiving game was the 24th of Jackson’s career and his
fourth as a member of the Redskins in 2014. Jackson’s four 100-yard receiving games are the most by a member of the Redskins in the first eight games
of a season since Santana Moss in 2005.
The Redskins finished the game with five sacks, the most by any team
against Dallas this season.
Running back Alfred Morris gained 73 yards on 18 rushing attempts.
With the effort, Morris (3,401) passed Mike Thomas (3,359) for No. 8 on
the Redskins’ all-time rushing yardage list.
Morris scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the year on a five-yard
touchdown run on the Redskins’ first drive of the second half.
The Redskins now have 27 points on the opening possessions of second
halves this season, tied with Miami for most in the NFL.
The rushing touchdown was Morris’ seventh against the Cowboys in his
career. Morris entered the game with the most rushing touchdowns against
Dallas of any active NFL player.
The touchdown was the 24th of Morris’ career, pushing him past Cliff
Battles (23) into sole possession of eighth place on the Redskins’ all-time
list.
Morris extended his streak of consecutive games against Dallas with at
least one rushing touchdown to five games, the longest in team history.
Morris recorded a season-long 29-yard carry in the third quarter.
Andre Roberts matched his season and career long with a 37-yard punt
return in the first quarter. Roberts’ long was set previously in Week 2 vs.
Jacksonville.
Safety Brandon Meriweather recorded career highs in sacks (two) and
forced fumbles (two) in addition to posting seven tackles (all solo) and a
fumble recovery. Meriweather is the first member of the Redskins in records available dating back to 1994 to record two sacks, two forced fumbles
and a fumble recovery in the same game.
Meriweather recorded his second sack of the season, dropping Cowboys
quarterback Tony Romo in the first quarter.
Later in the quarter, Meriweather forced a fumble by Cowboys running
back Joseph Randle. It was Meriweather’s first forced fumble of the season
and his first since Week 17 last season. On the play, linebacker Trent Murphy recorded his first career fumble recovery.
In the second quarter, Meriweather recorded his first fumble recovery of
the season and his first since Week 12 of the 2013 season vs. San Francisco.
The fumble was forced by cornerback Bashaud Breeland, his second forced
fumble of the season.
Meriweather’s three sacks this season surpass his career high (2.0) set
with the New England Patriots in 2008.
The Redskins opened the scoring with a 44-yard Forbath field goal on
the team’s opening drive. The Redskins have now scored on opening drives
in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 5-6 of the 2013 season.
Linebacker Perry Riley, Jr. recorded his second sack of the season in the
first quarter.
Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan recorded his 32nd career sack in the second
quarter, giving him 7.5 on the season, one shy of his career high.
Linebacker Keenan Robinson recorded the first full sack of his career,
dropping Romo in the third quarter. Robinson now has 1.5 career sacks,
all this season.
The Redskins forced three fumbles for the first time since Week 11 of the
2012 season vs. Philadelphia.
Tackle Tom Compton, wide receiver Ryan Grant and linebacker Trent
Murphy made their first NFL starts.
Linebacker Everette Brown made his Redskins debut.
Punter Tress Way had a career-high three punts downed inside the 20.
The Redskins did not allow a rushing touchdown for the third consecutive game. This marks the second three-game stretch this season in which
the team has held opponents without a rushing touchdown (Weeks 1-3).
The win represents the Redskins’ first against an NFC opponent this season and their first against an NFC East opponent since Week 17 of the 2012
season (vs. Dallas).

and teams that have won 7 Division titles. He coached the Cowboys DBs when the team won Super Bowl XXX over Pittsburgh after the
1995 season. Since 2009, Zimmer’s Bengals defenses ranked in the NFL’s

have allowed 18.8 points per game, ranking #4 in the NFL in points allowed. The 2013 Bengals posted 20 INTs, the 5th-best mark in the NFL.
The Bengals notched top-10 defensive rankings in 2009, ’11, ’12 and
’13 after only cracking the NFL’s top 10 once in 18 seasons prior to Zimmer joining the team. The Bengals notched top-10 defensive rankings
in 2009, ’11, ’12 and ’13 after only cracking the NFL’s top 10 once in 18
seasons prior to Zimmer joining the team. During his tenure, Zimmer
coached 2012 consensus All-Pro honors defensive tackle Geno Atkins. In
2013, linebacker Vontaze Burfict became a Pro Bowler from an undrafted
rookie free agent in 2012. Atkins became the 1st Bengals defensive lineman since Tim Krumrie in 1988 to earn a Pro Bowl trip and Burfict was

3-4 scheme. The 2003 Cowboys defense ranked #1 in the NFL with only
253.3 yards per game allowed. During Zimmer’s tenure in Dallas as DBs
coach (1994-99) and Defensive Coordinator (2000- 06) the team ranked
in the Top 5 of NFL scoring defense a total of six times. The 1995 Cowboys won Super Bowl XXX over Pittsburgh and one of Zimmer’s pupils,
CB Larry Brown, won the Super Bowl MVP award with a pair of INTs in
the game. Brown is 1 of only 3 DBs to earn Super Bowl MVP honors in
the history of the game.
Before moving to the NFL ranks, Zimmer spent 15 seasons coaching
at the collegiate level. He spent his final five seasons in the college ranks
as defensive coordinator at Washington State from 1989-93. Zimmer
was at Weber State from 1981-88, serving as defensive coordinator from
1983-88. He entered the coaching profession at Missouri where he served
as an assistant from 1979-80.
Zimmer played QB and later LB at Illinois State, earning a degree in
physical education. He has 3 children, son Adam and daughters Corri
and Marki. Adam is coaching the Vikings LBs after having spent time
with Kansas City, New Orleans and Cincinnati as an assistant LBs and
DBs coach. The father-son duo has both earned Super Bowl titles with
Adam’s coming following the 2009 season when the Saints won Super
Bowl XLIV over Indianapolis.
Vikki Zimmer, Mike’s wife of 27 years, passed away in Cincinnati on
October 8, 2009. The Pro Football Writers of America recognized Zimmer overcoming the tragedy and the Bengals No. 4 ranked defense playing a key role in winning then AFC North title by voting him the winner
of the Halas Award for the season, an annual award presented to the individual in the NFL that overcame the most adversity to succeed.

LAST MEETING
Vikings 34, Redskins 27
Associated Press
Nov. 7, 2013
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings found a way to
stop Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins, showing
late resolve after a series of final-minute collapses.
Adrian Peterson ran for 75 yards and two touchdowns, and the Vikings
forced Griffin into three straight incompletions from the 4-yard line to hold
on for a 34-27 victory Thursday night.
After losing three games this year in the final minute, the Vikings finally
pulled one out.
“There were many times during the course of that game where they
could’ve gone, ‘Oh, no, here we go again,’” coach Leslie Frazier said.
Christian Ponder went 17-for-21 for 174 yards with two touchdowns and
an interception for Minnesota before leaving late in the third quarter with a
dislocated shoulder on his non-throwing left arm. John Carlson had seven
catches for 98 yards and a touchdown, and rookie Cordarrelle Patterson
also had a scoring reception for the Vikings (2-7).
“We just played the way we were supposed to,” Ponder said. “We executed
like an NFL team is supposed to, especially a 10-6 playoff team like we were
last year. We really needed that, to help out with our confidence, and now
that’s our expectation for the rest of the year.”
Griffin was 24-for-37 for 281 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers
for the Redskins (3-6), who led 27-14 early in the third quarter. He also ran
seven times for 44 yards, but the Vikings took him down for four sacks for
39 yards in the second half, including 2 1/2 by Kevin Williams.
The Redskins committed eight penalties for 63 yards.
“You can’t do that,” Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said. “You’ve got to
keep your poise. You make mistakes like that and so often it will cost you
the game.”
With the Redskins out of timeouts, Griffin ran for 12 yards on fourthand-1 at his own 49 right after the 2-minute warning. After a run to the 4,
the Vikings stopped the clock. Wide receiver Greg Jennings was livid on the
sideline, but Frazier defended the timeout to give the drained defense a rest
and allow at least a few seconds for a comeback in case the Redskins scored.
But Griffin’s next two passes were incomplete, to Jordan Reed and Pierre
Garcon. On fourth-and-goal with 32 seconds left, his throw to the corner
of the end zone was caught by Santana Moss with only one foot inbounds.
“It felt like we were in control, and when you walk off the field with a loss,
it’s very disheartening,” Griffin said, “but I don’t think anyone on this team
is going to quit.”
The Vikings didn’t.
“That was an awesome feeling,” Peterson said, adding: “Through the adversity we’ve been through, guys just continued to fight.”
Blair Walsh kicked two fourth-quarter field goals for the Vikings after
Peterson’s second score gave them a 28-27 lead late in the third quarter.
That drive started at the Washington 41, thanks to an unnecessary roughness call. Ponder scrambled and slung a third-and-12 laser to Jarius Wright
for a first down at the sideline, and later said Wright was so wide open he
laughed as he threw the ball. Then, Ponder took off for the 14-yard run that
knocked him out of the game, and an official replay reversed the touchdown call after he dived at the pylon and rolled out of bounds.
“Nothing seems to faze him,” Carlson said, adding: “He showed a lot of
heart.”
Ponder said he plans to be ready for the team’s next game in 10 days
against the Seattle Seahawks.
“My expectations are, I’m going to be back next week,” Ponder said.
“We’ve got a great athletic training staff. They’re going to do me right. I’m
going to do everything I can to be back next Sunday.”
Matt Cassel came in, and Peterson scored to give the Vikings the lead on
the next play.
“We can’t let a team like that score that many points. It’s totally on us. We
were sleepwalking at times,” Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo said.
The Redskins scored on their first five possessions with broken tackle
after broken tackle. They converted seven of eight third downs in the first
half and held the ball for more than two-thirds of the elapsed game time.
That all changed after the break.
“You always want to be able to rush the passer with the game on the line,”
Williams said. “It was nice to finish it this time.”
Game notes: Carlson scored for the first time since 2010. In his first 1 1/2
seasons with the Vikings, he had a total of 19 catches for 104 yards. ... Alfred Morris ran 26 times for 139 yards for the Redskins, who outgained the
Vikings 433-307 in total yards. ... Williams had his first multisack game for
the Vikings since Oct. 18, 2009. ... Garcon had his second straight 100-yard
receiving game and has 803 yards this season. Garcon, Reed and Logan
Paulsen had TD catches.

Week 8 in Review
Colt’s Completion Percentage
In Week 8 at Dallas, quarterback Colt McCoy made his first start as
a member of the Redskins and his first NFL start since Dec. 8, 2011 as a
member of the Cleveland Browns. The Texas native completed 25-of-30
passes for 299 yards and a passer rating of 94.3.
McCoy’s 83.3 percent completion percentage was the highest of his
career among games he has started. It is the fourth-highest completion percentage by a Redskins quarterback with at least 20 attempts since the 1970
AFL-NFL merger and the most by a Redskins quarterback with at least 30
attempts.
Included below are the Redskins’ top 10 performances by completion
percentage since 1960 (mininum 20 att.).

Quarterback Colt McCoy made his first start as a member of the Redskins at Dallas in Week 8. McCoy
completed 83.3 percent of his passes, the highest by any Redskins quarterback with at least 30 attempts.
Cowboy Keepaway
Prior to their Week 8 meeting with the Washington Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys ranked second in the NFL in average time of possession, averaging an even 34:00 minutes of possession per game en route to a 6-1 start.
The Redskins reversed the script in the team’s meeting on Monday
Night Football, holding the ball for a total of 38:12, the team’s second-highest possession time in the first eight weeks of the season.
Second Half Starts
Redskins’ time of possession (2014, WEEKS 1-8):
Trailing 7-3 at halftime in Dallas, the Redskins received the ball to start
the second half and immediately strung together an eight-play, 80-yard
drive lasting 5:09 and culminating with a five-yard go-ahead touchdown
run by running back Alfred Morris.
The drive and the touchdown align with a pattern of success the offense has had scoring points coming out of the locker room after halftime
under the guidance of Head Coach Jay Gruden and Offensive Coordinator
Sean McVay this season. Through Week 8, the Redskins have scored 27
points on their first possession of the second halves this season, tied with
Miami for most in the NFL. Last season, the Redskins scored 30 points on
such drives in 16 games.

shortest of the 2014 season. In fact, excluding 1:32 elapsed time on the
Cowboys’ lone overtime drive, the Redskins held the Cowboys to 27:05

Game Release
Week 7 in Review
Game-winning FG since 2000
The Redskins may be beginning a trend of homecoming heroics, as the
team registered a second consecutive walkoff victory on its annual Alumni
Homecoming game in 2014. A year after fullback Darrel Young scored a
one-yard touchdown run in overtime to beat the San Diego Chargers during Alumni Homecoming weekend in 2013, kicker Kai Forbath converted
a 22-yard field goal in the final seconds of regulation to give the Redskins a
19-17 victory against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7 this season.
The game-winning field goal — part of Forbath’s career-high four field
goals on the day — was the second of Forbath’s career and his first since
Dec. 9, 2012 vs. Baltimore. The game-winner was Forbath’s first of his career in regulation, as his first career game-winning field goal against Baltimore in 2012 came in overtime. The game-winner with no time remaining
in regulation was the Redskins’ first since Nick Novak’s last-second 47-yard
field goal to defeat the Dallas Cowboys, 22-19, on Nov. 5, 2006. Forbath
would add another game-winner a week later, hitting a 40-yard field goal in
overtime to help the Redskins defeat Dallas.
Included below are all of the Redskins’ eventual game-winning field
goals in the final two minutes of regulation or in overtime.
Kicker Kai Forbath connects on a 22-yard field goal with no time remaining to give the Redskins a 1917 victory against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7.

With his 4-for-4 performance on field goal attempts in Week 7, Kai
Forbath became the 28th Redskins kicker since the 1970 merger to post a
100 percent field goal percentage with a minimum of four made field goals.
Forbath’s 100.0 percent performance with four successful kicks was the
Redskins’ first since Billy Cundiff ’s 4-for-4 game in the 2012 season opener.

DeSean Jackson
The Washington Redskins knew first-hand what kind of
playmaking ability wide receiver DeSean Jackson possesses.
In six years as a Philadephia Eagle, Jackson faced the Redskins 11 times, catching 32 passes for 572 yards (17.9 avg.)
with five receiving touchdowns, his most receiving touchdowns against any opponent.
So when Jackson hit the free agent market on March 28,
the Redskins were quick to act, signing the three-time Pro
Bowler on April 2. Now the Redskins and first-year head coach Jay
Gruden have set about finding ways to feature the dynamic seventh-year
playmaker as part of its arsenal of weapons in 2014.
“You want to get people involved. That’s what the beauty of this offense hopefully is – being able to spread the ball around,” Gruden said
during training camp. “We are able to get the running game involved, we
are able to get Andre Roberts, DeSean and Pierre Garçon their touches
and Robert [Griffin III] whatever he needs to do. Darrel Young, Jordan
Reed, even [Logan] Paulsen, we’ve got to try to get everybody involved.”
It’s been Jackson’s explosiveness that has turned heads his entire career
since entering the league in 2008. Jackson leads the NFL in receptions of
50-plus yards (26) and total touchdowns of 50-plus yards (20) in that timeframe.
Jackson’s explosiveness and flair for the dramatic took center stage in
Week 3 in his return to Philadelphia. Despite being questionable after suffering an injury to his AC joint a week earlier, Jackson played and played
spectacularly against the Eagles, posting a season-high 117 receiving yards
on five receptions including an 81-yard touchdown on a bomb in his return. He would add touchdowns of 60 yards and 64 yards in Week 5 and
Week 6, respectively.
In Week 3, Jackson and Garçon became the first Redskins to accumulate 100 receiving yards in the same game since Laveranues Coles (180)
and Rod Gardner (118) accomplished the feat at Atlanta on Sept. 13, 2003.
With Garçon and Jackson comprising a one-two receiving punch among
Washington’s array of offensive weapons for 2014, the question was posed
to Jackson early in training camp: Will there be enough touches to keep
everyone happy?
“I’m sure that’s the question everyone will want to know. Honestly, me
and Andre [Roberts] were just talking about it earlier. It’s very dangerous
and it’s very scary – I’d rather be on the team that has all the weapons,”
Jackson said. “With me, Tana [Santana Moss], Pierre, J-Reed [Jordan
Reed], Roberts, it’s so many options – Alfred Morris. There’s just so many
options that regardless of how you play it... If somebody doesn’t get double teamed, another receiver is going to be open.”
“I’d rather be on the team with all the weapons.”
- Wide receiver DeSean Jackson in response to a question about if there
are enough touches to keep all of Washintgon’s offensive threats happy
Jackson’s addition was called a “hand-in-glove” fit by Pro Bowl left
tackle Trent Williams, and it’s how Jackson fits both with and without the
ball that Gruden envisions helping the attack.
“Some days DeSean will have 10 catches for 200 yards. Maybe he will
have two catches for eight yards. We don’t know how it’s going to play
out, how the defenses are going to cover us,” Gruden said. “The coverage
should dictate where the ball goes and hopefully with the weapons that
we have, a certain guy can make a defense pay depending on how they
are playing us.”
Jackson joined the Redskins following a season in which he posted
career highs in receptions (82) and receiving yards (1,332) and matched
his career high in receiving touchdowns (nine).
“Honestly, man,” Jackson opined when asked his expectations for
2014. “I just want to help my team win games.”

P.G.’s County
Prince George’s County, Maryland — home to FedExField
— quickly became Pierre Garçon’s county in 2013. The receiver
made himself at home in opposing secondaries in 2013 and
produced one of the greatest receiving seasons in the Redskins’
eight-decade history.
Washington signed Garçon on the first day of free agency
during the 2012 offseason, believing his speed and tenacious
on-field demeanor would add another dimension to the Redskins’ offense. Garçon was a difference-maker during the team’s NFC East
title run in 2012, as the Redskins posted a 9-1 record with him in the lineup
and were 1-5 with him sidelined.
Garçon amassed 113 receptions for 1,346 yards and five touchdowns
in 2013. His 113 receptions broke Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Monk’s
29-year-old team record for receptions in a season.

Garçon’s 1,346 receiving yards were the sixth-most in a season by a
Redskin all-time and the most since Santana Moss’ team record 1,483 yards
in 2005.
The numbers were not buoyed by any outlier performances either, as
Garçon became only the third NFL player since the adoption of the 16game schedule in 1978 to post at least five receptions in all 16 games of a
season, joining Jacksonville’s Jimmy Smith (2001) and Pittsburgh’s Antonio
Brown (2013). Though the streak was snapped in Week 2 of the 2014 season, Garçon ultimately caught five or more passes in 17 straight contests
across the 2013-14 seasons, the longest streak in team history.

to raise money to help them out, keep their doors open so more kids can
benefit from it.”
In addition, Garçon helped donate new football jerseys to one high
school in Washington, D.C., one in Virginia and one in Maryland. The gesture was personal for the Division III Mount Union product.
“It just makes me happy that I could help out, especially in high school,
where for kids, it’s a big moment in their lives,” Garcon told The Washington Post. “Having nice uniforms could make you play a little bit better and
hopefully help you earn a scholarship to play Division I football, and that
goes a long way between playing Division I instead of Division III, not having to pay your loans and all that.”
Garçon’s interest in helping the young men and women of the greater
Washington, D.C. has been a staple of his time in burgundy and gold. Garçon is one of several Redskins players to have befriended 17-year-old Juwaan Espinal, a major Redskins fan from nearby Centreville High School
who is non-verbal and confined to a wheelchair as the result of cerebral
palsy. In September 2014, as told by WJLA, “Fans lined up outside a Paisano’s Pizza on Pershing Drive in Arlington to see Garçon. Each fan paid
$25 to meet him, with the money going to help the Espinal family.”
With Garçon’s assistance, the community raised in excess of $26,000
to buy a special-equipped van for Juwaan and his family. Garçon surprised
Juwaan by driving the family’s new van onto the sidelines during halftime
of Centreville’s game on Sept. 12,
Garçon’s off-field efforts have even carried him overseas, as he joined
Saints tight end Jimmy Graham and Dolphins punter Brandon Fields on a
USO tour of U.S. military bases in Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates in March 2014.
Garçon’s numbers and his acrobatic highlight-reel catches were worthy
of attention, but the Redskins’ coaching staff also tried to draw attention to
what Garçon — a ferocious perimter blocker — did for Washington’s prolific rushing attack in 2013.
Garçon has made great strides to make sure his impact transcends the
football field. In the 2013 offseason, Garçon hosted an event that raised
more than $30,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington. In
2014, his second annual event raised more than $100,000.

Dynamic Duo
Pierre Garçon and DeSean Jackson have been the Redskins’ most prolific receiving duo through the first half of the
2014 season, leading the team with 39 and 32 receptions, respectively.
Copied below are the top 10 Redskins receiving duos in
team history. Garçon and Jackson are on pace to combine for
142 receptions and 2,214 receiving yards this season.
100-yard receiving Duos
In Week 3, Jackson and Garçon each eclipsed 100 receiving yards at
Philadelphia. The feat was the 21st time since the 1970 merger that the Redskins have had multiple players reach the 100-yard receiving threshold in
a single game.

#HBKerrigan
If patience is a virtue, the Redskins were virtuous in
the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, as the team opted
to trade back from its No. 10 overall selection to the
16th overall pick. With the 16th selection, the Redskins used the pick acquired from Jacksonville to select Ryan Kerrigan, a then-defensive end out of Purdue. In three-plus seasons, the end-turned-linebacker
has blossomed into one of the Redskins’ most consistent
performers and one of the league’s up and coming pass rushers.
Named to his first career Pro Bowl following the 2012 season, the
Muncie, Ind. native registered 8.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons after
posting 7.5 in his rookie season in 2011. The 26-year-old who enters Week
9 only one sack shy of matching his career high has started all 56 regular
season games and one postseason game played by the organization since
he was drafted.
In Week 2 of the 2014 season, Kerrigan launched a simultaneous assault on Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne and the Redskins’ record book,
tying a franchise record by becoming the fifth player in team history to
record four sacks in a game. But more stunning than Kerrigan’s four-sack
outburst was the way the normally subdued man from America’s heartland
celebrated his first and fourth sacks of the day in the midst of a 41-10 win.
“[Linebacker] Will Compton has been kind of getting in my ear for a
while to do the Shawn Michaels from wrestling — the HBK,” Kerrigan said
of the inspiration for his celebrations. “All he kept saying was, ‘Hit the HBK,
hit the HBK.’ Finally, I did right by him and hit the HBK a couple times. On
the second and third ones, when I didn’t do it, he was giving me a bunch of
hell on the sidelines, like, ‘Why didn’t you do it? You need to trademark it.’
I’m like, ‘Well, I can’t trademark it, it’s HBK,’ But that’s where it came from.
You guys can thank Will Compton for the motivation for that one.”
The gesture resonated with wrestling fans and Redskins fans alike. The
celebration was promoted by WWE on Twitter, and Redskins fans immediately began referring to the celebration as the “#HBKerrigan.” Kerrigan hit
the pose again in Week 5, celebrating a sack of quarterback Russell Wilson
in a tight game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Kerrigan is one of six players selected in the 2011 NFL Draft to have
already reached 30 career sacks. Denver’s Von Miller (44.0), Houston’s J.J.
Watt (43.5), San Francisco’s Aldon Smith (42.0), St. Louis’ Robert Quinn
(37.5), Kansas City’s Justin Houston (36.5) and Kerrigan (32.0) have combined for 235.5 sacks since entering the league together in the 2011 NFL
Draft.
The Purdue product ended his college career tied for the Football Bowl
Subdivision record with 14 career forced fumbles, and his innate knack for
knocking the ball loose has translated to the NFL. Kerrigan has been credited with 12 forced fumbles in his young career and joins Ken Harvey (13),
Bruce Smith (11), LaVar Arrington (10), London Fletcher (10) and Marcus
Washington (10) as the only Redskins players since 1994 to post double
figures in career forced fumbles in burgundy and gold.
Kerrigan’s impact on the Redskins has transcended football this season, as his strong 2014 campaign also includes an NFL Players Association Community MVP award to his credit. One day after his four-sack performance in Week 2, Kerrigan hosted the second annual Celebrity Waiter
Night at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Arlington, Va. The linebacker and his
teammates served customers and helped raise more than $100,000 for Kerrigan’s Blitz for the Better Foundation, which provides support to seriously
ill, special needs and physically challenged children throughout the Greater
Washington D.C. area.
The money raised will help establish Kerrigan’s Korner in Children’s
National Medical Center, which will provide a locker for extended stay patients at the hospital. The lockers will be filled with iPads, handheld gaming
devices, DVDs and more to bring a sense of joy to their stay.

Away from football, running back Alfred Morris might
be best known for his beloved car — a 1991 Mazda 626 he affectionately names “Bentley.” Mazda volunteered 275 hours of
work over four months to restore Morris’ famous ride, which he
bought from his pastor for $2 in college.
It’s been Morris himself that’s run like an old classic since
he entered the league in 2012. Morris was one of the engines
that drove the Redskins to their first team rushing title since
1933 in 2012 and has continued to drive the Redskins’ offense ever since.
Morris was one of seven backs to post 1,000 rushing yards in both
2012 and 2013 and is one of only four to exceed 1,250 yards in both seasons.
Morris’ 3,401 rushing yards since 2012 are second-most in the league, and
he can boast the most 70-yard rushing games in that time frame.

two seasons. The list includes five Pro Football Hall of Famers: Eric Dickerson (3,913), Earl Campbell (3,147), Barry Sanders (2,774), Curtis Martin
(2,639) and Emmitt Smith (2,500).

That’s the Way
The Redskins spent the majority of the 2014 offseason evaluating a
punting battle between newcomers Robert Malone and Blake Clingan, but
the race received a darkhorse candidate when the team claimed punter
Tress Way off waivers from Chicago on Aug. 20. Way was given 10 days to
stake a claim to the punting job, a task he performed en route to making his
NFL debut at Houston in Week 1.
Thus far in 2014, Way’s punting numbers have rewarded the coaching
staff ’s faith. Way has averaged 49.7 yards per punt, which if maintained
would rank among the 10 best single-season averages in NFL history.

Though Way has been with the organization for only a limited amount
of time, he is no stranger to playing for the Redskins. The University of
Oklahoma product is a native of Tulsa, Okla., where he played his prep
career for the Union H.S. Redskins. Part of the school’s pregame traditions
include chanting “All My Life I Wanted To Be A Redskin” and “Work, Work,
Baby, Work, Work.”
“I must’ve got 65, ‘All my life I wanted to be a Redskin’ texts,” Way told
multiple news outlets after making the team’s Week 1 roster.
His reply via text: “Work, work, baby, work, work!”
Hometown Insight
The following are excerpts from an article by Michael Baldwin
that appeared in the Oct. 25 edition of The Oklahoman.
After completing his redshirt freshman year at Oklahoma,
Tress Way was coming off a freshman All-American season
playing for Sunny Golloway’s baseball program the day football
coach Bob Stoops called him into his office.
‘Coach Stoops told me, “Tress, you not only can be a leader
on this football team, you have the talent to make some money
playing this game (in the NFL),”’ Way recalled in a phone interview with The Oklahoman. ‘To hear that from one of the most
respected coaches in the world fired me up. I decided to quit
playing baseball.’
Stoops’ prediction came true.

30-point Wins
“We were joking around on the sideline like, ‘Who is going to be next?’ It was such a great feeling, unlike anything
I’ve ever been a part of, getting that many sacks and to play
the type of defense we played.”
The Redskins’ 31-point margin of victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2 was the team’s largest since defeating the Detroit Lions by a
final score of 34-3 on Oct. 7, 2007.

- Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, who tied a team record with four sacks
as the Redskins tied a team record with 10 sacks vs. Jacksonville in Week 2
When the Redskins arrived at FedExField in advance of their Week
2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, 36 years, 11 months and 6 days
had elapsed since the franchise set a team record with 10 sacks against the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
That stretch of time met a sudden and vicious end in Week 2 as the
Redskins dropped Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne 10 times to tie the
franchise record. The 10-sack game was the 31st by an NFL franchise since
1982 and the seventh since the turn of the century.

Don’t Forget about ‘Dre
Anchoring the Line
Forgot About Dre? The Redskins haven’t.
Washington’s receiving corps likely received its highest-profile new addition on April 2 when the team inked free agent DeSean Jackson to a new
contract at Redskins Park. And while attention has followed Jackson’s every
move in burgundy and gold, the oft-overlooked signing of fifth-year veteran Andre Roberts may be a critical component to the Redskins’ offensive
versatility in 2014.
Roberts was one of Washington’s most coveted targets in free agency,
becoming one of three players signed by the team within the first 24 hours
of free agency’s opening in March. He joined the Redskins having appeared
in 62 career games with 35 starts in Arizona from 2010-13, compiling 182
receptions for 2,123 receiving yards (11.7 avg.) with 11 receiving touchdowns.
When his addition was announced March 12, Roberts was expected to
provide the Redskins a formidable one-two punch at receiver with recordbreaking receiver Pierre Garçon. But with Jackson’s arrival in April, Roberts’ role was redefined.
Garçon and Jackson are expected to start at Washington’s X and Z receiver positions this season, but Roberts appeared to have seized control of
the team’s Zebra slot receiver spot from the outset of the offseason. Early in
training camp, receivers and coaches were effusive in their praise of Roberts’ play out of the slot.
In the midst of changes throughout the coaching staff during the 2014
offseason, the Redskins made the decision to retain Offensive Line Coach
Chris Foerster, a man who has presided since 2010 over a position group
whose heritage runs deep in team lore dating back to the beloved “Hogs” in
the 1980s and 1990s.
Since the start of the 2012 season, Foerster’s big men have helped the
Redskins rush for more yards than all but one other NFL team.
“He’s proven out there that he can play every position on
offense at the receiver spot – X, Z and Zebra man. He’s doing a great job. We had every intent of him being the No. 2
receiver – DeSean fell in our lap – so now he is going to play
inside, which speaks to his versatility.”

Featured on the offensive line is Trent Williams, the now two-time
Pro Bowler who has blossomed from the fourth overall pick in the 2010
NFL Draft to one of the game’s premier left tackles. The Oklahoma product
nicknamed “Silverback” is often described as a freak athlete, an imposing
337-pounder who recorded a 34.5-inch vertical and 4.87 40-yard dash at
the 2010 NFL Combine.
“He’s a giant of a man plus he’s got the feet of a ballerina.”
- Head Coach Jay Gruden on Andre Roberts during training camp
- Head Coach Jay Gruden on Trent Williams during training camp
“I knew I was going to be involved on offense, it was just a matter of
how much and where they’re going to put me,” Roberts told Mike Jones
of the Washington Post during the offseason. “I’m not really worried
about that. I know I’m going to be a big part of this offense regardless
of where I am.”
Roberts has factored into the offense early on this season, but his
contributions have not been limited to that side of the ball. Under new
special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica, Robert has fulfilled a mutual
desire between the Redskins and the receiver for the 26-year-old to
handle both kick and punt returning duties this season.
“I’m one of those players when he gets the ball in his hands he can
make a big play,” Roberts told reporters during minicamp. “That’s what
I want to bring to this team as well, not just as a receiver but on special
teams.”
It’s a breathtaking combination of size, speed and strength that often
leaves coaches, teammates and observers in awe. During training camp,
Head Coach Jay Gruden was asked if Williams’ ability with his feet is coachable to other players or if it was simply blessed.
“Yeah, that’s blessed,” Gruden said. “You can’t teach what Trent Williams has. He’s a giant of a man plus he’s got the feet of a ballerina, so that is
genetics right there at its finest.”
Williams has continued a tradition of strong left tackle play in Washington this century. Between Williams (2012-13) and former Redskins
great Chris Samuels (2001-02, 05-08), Redskins left tackles have been selected to six of the last nine Pro Bowls.
“Trent through the years has become a true professional,” Foerster
said. “He continues to prepare and work hard every week... He’s just continued to improve everything trying to work on his complete game.”

Unsung hero
Darrel Young entered the NFL as a college free agent
linebacker out of Villanova in 2009. One position change
and two head coaching changes later, Young has found a
home as one of the league’s most dynamic fullbacks.
A favorite of teammates, fans, coaches and media
members alike, there was consternation in the 2014 offseason about whether or not new coach Jay Gruden —
who did not prominently feature a fullback as Offensive Coordinator of
the Cincinnati Bengals — would have a significant role for Young. That
question was laid to rest early in training camp.
“I didn’t have Darrel Young in Cincinnati – if I had him, I would have
used him,” Gruden said. “He’s very versatile, he can run, he can catch, so
we’re excited about having him... The personnel will vary but DY will be a
major part of this offense.”
“I didn’t have Darrel Young in Cincinnati. If I had him, I
would have used him.”
- Head Coach Jay Gruden during training camp, discussing his limited usage of
fullbacks while Offensive Coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals
Gruden’s statements have proven prophetic, as Young scored touchdowns in each of the Redskins’ first three games this season, including a
one-yard touchdown plunge at Houston in Week 1 and touchdown receptions of 20 yards and four yards in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively.
In Week 9 last season, Young helped the Redskins to an overtime win
against the San Diego Chargers, receiving five carries for 12 yards and three
rushing touchdowns, including a 4-yard walk-off touchdown in overtime.
The three touchdowns were a single-game career high for Young. Young
had entered the game with only one career rushing touchdown to his credit
— a six-yard score against the New York Giants on Dec. 18, 2011. He added
a career-long 62-yard touchdown reception two weeks later at Philadelphia.
As a blocker, Young has helped pave the way for a rushing attack that
gained a league-high 4,873 rushing yards on 972 carries across the 201213 seasons. Among the beneficiaries of Young’s blocks is Alfred Morris,
whose 2,888 rushing yards from 2012-13 rank ninth-most in NFL history
among players in their first two seasons.
Young was a crucial component of the Redskins’ league-high 2,709
rushing yards in 2012, which broke the team record of 2,625 set in 1983.
The team broke the 200-yard rushing mark four times in 2012, tied for the
most in a season in team history since the 1970 merger. With Young, the
Redskins surpassed the 200-yard rushing plateau three times in 2013 as
well.
Though Young continues to adapt and thrive in his unsung hero role in
Washington’s offense, the “hero” label is nothing new to the Young family.
Young was raised in a military family, as his father served in the Army and
his brother, Sgt. 1st Class David Young Jr., has completed several tours in
the Middle East in recent years. Young has travelled overseas to visit troops
in order to show his appreciation for members of the military and has repeatedly been supportive of all members of the military.
Fullback Darrel Young (right) has been one of Washington’s unsung heroes in recent years, notably in
scoring three touchdowns — including the game-winning score in overtime — vs. San Diego in 2013.
Young is pictured here with the man he considers his hero — his brother, Sgt. 1st Class David Young, Jr.
“I just run 100 yards and tackle people, hit people, block
people. He’s out there to serve the country. He’s the real hero
in my life.”
- Fullback Darrel Young discussing his brother, Sgt. 1st Class David Young Jr.,
on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown (segment screenshots on right)
The mentality of sacrifice and hard work that was ingrained in Young
while growing up in a military family established the foundation for his
success doing football’s so-called “dirty work” both as a fullback and as one
of the Redskins’ leaders on special teams.

GAME 1
NRG Stadium (Houston)
TEXANS 17, REDSKINS 6
HOUSTON – The Washington Redskins opened their 83rd season in franchise history on Sunday but fell to the Houston Texans, 17-6, in front of an announced crowd of 71,770 people at NRG Stadium.
The game was the NFL head coaching debut of Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden, who began the 29th head coaching tenure in franchise history. Gruden
and Texans Head Coach Bill O’Brien faced one another in the first NFL season opener between two first-year head coaches since Al Groh’s New York Jets and
Mike Sherman’s Green Bay Packers faced one another in Week 1 of the 2000 season.
Quarterback Robert Griffin III started and completed 29-of-37 passes for 267 yards with a passer rating of 96.7. Griffin III completed 78.4 percent of his
passes, the second-highest percentage of his career and his best since completing 93.3 percent of his passes vs. Philadelphia on Nov. 18, 2012. His completions
were the second-most by a Redskins quarterback in a season opener in records dating back to 1960, trailing only his 30 completions in Week 1 a season ago.
Wide receiver Pierre Garçon added a team-high 10 receptions for 77 yards. Garçon extended his streak of consecutive games with five or more receptions to
17, already the longest streak in team history. Garçon’s 10 receptions tied Alvin Garrett (Sept. 5, 1983 vs. Dallas) and Joe Washington (Sept. 6, 1981) for the
most by a member of the Redskins in a season opener in records dating back to 1960.
Fullback Darrel Young scored the team’s first points of the season, opening the day’s scoring with a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

GAME 2
FedExField (Landover, Md.)
REDSKINS 41, JAGUARS 10
LANDOVER, Md. – The Redskins earned their first victory of the season in Week 2, defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars by a final margin of 41-10 in front of
an announced crowd of 80,037 people at FedExField. The victory snapped a nine-game losing streak dating back to last season and represented the first in the
head coaching career of Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden.
The Redskins tied a team record with 10 sacks, set previously on Oct. 9, 1977. The 10 sacks were the most by the Redskins in a game since the NFL made sacks
an official stat in 1982. Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan tied a team record with four sacks, tying Phillip Daniels (12/18/2005), Ken Harvey (11/23/1997), Dexter
Manley (10/2/1988) and Brian Orakpo (12/13/2009).
Quarterback Kirk Cousins entered the game in relief of an injured Robert Griffin III and completed 22-of-33 passes of 250 yards with two touchdowns and
a 109.4 passer rating. Cousins completed his first 12 passes, the longest consecutive completion streak of his career, surpassing his previous long when he
completed 10 consecutive passes vs. Dallas in Week 16 of the 2013 season.
Running back Alfred Morris rushed for 85 yards on 22 carries. Morris eclipsed the 3,000-yard career rushing mark with his performance, accomplishing the
feat in his 34th career game, the fastest in team history. The franchise’s all-time leading rusher, John Riggins, did not break the 3,000-yard mark with Washington until his 38th game with the Redskins.
The Redskins’ 31-point margin of victory was the team’s largest since Oct. 7, 2007 vs. Detroit (34-3). Defensively, the Redskins held the Jaguars to 148 net
offensive yards, the lowest total by a Redskins’ opponent since Washington held Dallas to Dec. 30, 2007. The Redskins held the Jaguars to 25 rushing yards,
the fewest since the Redskins held the Cowboys to one rushing yard in that same game in 2007.

Tight end Jordan Reed – playing in his first game since Week 1 at Houston – led the Redskins in receptions with eight. Reed’s eight receptions were one shy of
matching his career high. Wide receiver Pierre Garçon caught a five-yard touchdown pass, the 27th of his career, from Cousins in the fourth quarter.

GAME 7
REDSKINS 19, TITANS 17
LANDOVER, Md. – Kicker Kai Forbath converted a 22-yard field goal in the final seconds of the game to give the Washington Redskins a 19-17 victory
against the Tennessee Titans in front of an announced crowd of 75,227 people at FedExField in Week 7.
The game-winning field goal was Forbath’s second of his career and his first since Dec. 9, 2012 vs. Baltimore. Forbath set a career high with four made field
goals. The game-winner was Forbath’s first of his career in regulation; his first career game-winning field goal in 2012 came in overtime. The game-winner
with no time remaining in regulation was the Redskins’ first since Nick Novak’s last-second 47-yard field goal to defeat the Dallas Cowboys, 22-19, on Nov.
5, 2006.
Quarterback Colt McCoy entered the game in the third quarter and completed 11-of-12 passes for 128 yards with one touchdown and a passer rating of 138.9.
On his first career pass attempt as a member of the Redskins, McCoy connected with wide receiver Pierre Garçon for a 70-yard touchdown.
In the fourth quarter McCoy engineered a 10-play, 76-yard drive to set up Forbath’s game-winner. The victory represented the second fourth-quarter comeback win of McCoy’s career and his first since Sept. 25, 2011 vs. Miami as a member of the Cleveland Browns.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins started the game and completed 10-of-16 passes for 139 yards. McCoy and Cousins became the first quarterback duo to each complete at least 10 passes in the same game for the Redskins since Todd Collins (15) and Jason Campbell (10) accomplished the feat vs. Chicago on Dec. 6, 2007.
The win was the Redskins’ first by scoring in the final two minutes of regulation since a 45-41 victory against the Chicago Bears on Oct. 20, 2013. Running
back Roy Helu, Jr. scored on a three-yard run with 45 seconds remaining in that game to give the Redskins a victory.

GAME 8
AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Texas)
REDSKINS 20, COWBOYS 17 (OT)
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Washington Redskins defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 20-17, in overtime in front of an announced crowd of 87,055 people at AT&T
Stadium in Week 8.
Kicker Kai Forbath converted a 40-yard field goal attempt on the first possession of overtime. The Redskins’ defense followed by forcing a turnover on downs
to give the Redskins their first overtime victory since a 30-24 win vs. San Diego on Nov. 3, 2013. The win extended the Redskins’ record to 25-14-1 all-time
in overtime games, tying the Redskins with the Denver Broncos for the most all-time overtime wins in regular season play.
The game was the Redskins 65th all-ltime appearance on Monday Night Football. It was the 16th all-time meeting between the Redskins and Cowboys on
Monday Night Football, the second-most played matchup in Monday Night Football history. The Redskins earned their first Monday night win against Dallas
since the “Monday Night Miracle” on Sept. 19, 2005 and evened their all-time Monday night record against the Cowboys at 8-8 with the win.
Quarterback Colt McCoy made his first start as a member of the Redskins. It was McCoy’s first NFL start since Dec. 8, 2011 as a member of the Cleveland
Browns. He completed 25-of-30 passes for 299 yards and a passer rating of 94.3, and his 83.3 percent completion percentage was the highest of his career
among games he has started. It marked the fourth-highest completion percentage by a Redskins quarterback with at least 20 attempts since the 1970 AFLNFL merger. McCoy also scored on a seven-yard run in the third quarter, the second rushing touchdown of his career and his first since Nov. 7, 2010 as a
member of the Browns.
The victory represented the Redskins’ first overtime win against Dallas since Nov. 2, 1975. In that game, quarterback Billy Kilmer’s one-yard touchdown run
gave the Redskins a 30-24 overtime win.

Head Coach Jay Gruden
Jay Gruden’s winding path to becoming Washington Redskins head coach
By Dave Sheinin
The Washington Post
Jan. 9, 2014
There is one lonely branch of the vaunted West Coast Offense coaching tree — the one the great Bill Walsh
sent rising from the ground decades ago — that is twisted and gnarled, and that loops back around on itself, as if
bent by an unnatural force. But this branch, while strange-looking, is thriving and sturdy and, though others
have withered and died, continues its climb towards the sun.
The branch is Jay Gruden.
With the Washington Redskins naming Gruden, until now the Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive coordinator, as
their new head coach Thursday, it completes a remarkable coaching journey that is perhaps unlike any in NFL
history – unless you can name another who has played and/or coached in the World League of American
Football, the Arena Football League and the United Football League, who has drawn paychecks from
professional teams called the Dragons, the Surge, the Storm, the Kats, the Predators and the Tuskers.
If those minor-league teams — from places ranging from Barcelona to Sacramento to Orlando — don’t ring a
bell, then surely the last name does. Gruden is the younger brother, as well as a protégé of sorts, of Monday
Night Football analyst Jon Gruden, former Super Bowl-winning head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jay,
now 46, spent seven seasons on Jon’s Tampa Bay staff, several of them connected to his brother via headset
from the press box, one segment of a football education that has been a lifetime in the making.
“Jay’s starting point is within that West Coast tree,” said University of Pittsburgh quarterbacks coach Brooks
Bollinger, who played two seasons under Jay Gruden with the UFL’s Florida Tuskers. “His terminology and
play design were similar to Jon’s. I think it would be wrong to say he got it all from Jon, but that was his
starting point. No question the foundation of who he was from an offensive-philosophy standpoint was similar
to Jon. He’s definitely a West Coast [offense] guy.”
Jay Gruden’s professional career path may have more twists and turns than most, but his pedigree is pure
football. His father, Jim, was a longtime coach and scout at the high school, collegiate and NFL levels. The
three Gruden boys — Jim Jr., Jon and Jay — were all born in Ohio, as Jim Sr. went from Fremont High School
to Heidelberg College, two stops on a lengthy coaching resume.
Jay, the youngest, was the best athlete of the bunch — better than Jon, whose playing career ended at the
University of Dayton, and Jim Jr., who became a doctor. He played four seasons under Howard Schnellenberger
at Louisville, throwing for 7,024 career yards and leading the Cardinals to an 8-3 season as a senior in 1988, the
program’s first winning season in a decade. Schnellenberger gave his quarterbacks extraordinary leeway to call
audibles, and Gruden was one of his best pupils.
“He had the final say, really, when he got out there and saw the defense, after the coaches had put together the
plan,” Schnellenberger told the Bengals’ Web site in 2011.

2014
While Jon eventually became one of the most recognizable faces in professional football — his intensity and
twisted facial expressions earning him the nickname “Chuckie” — Jay, following his collegiate career, toiled
away in obscurity in football’s minor leagues. But he won everywhere he went.
In the Arena League, he won six championships as a player or coach. When Jon got the Tampa Bay head
coaching job in 2002, he invited Jay to join his staff, and for a number of years, the latter double-dipped –
working for the Buccaneers from July to January, then moving down I-4 to work for the AFL’s Orlando
Predators. For the first two seasons, he was simultaneously an NFL assistant coach and an AFL quarterback,
before retiring from playing in 2004.
With the smaller playing field and hectic pace of the Arena League, Gruden became adept at creating space for
his quarterbacks, while emphasizing quick decision-making — attributes he continued to emphasize even as he
moved on to “the outdoor game.”
“You can see a direct correlation between his time in the Arena League and what he’s been able to do in the
NFL,” Bollinger said. “Guys who have been in that world have an easier time looking outside the box.”
His Florida-centric life also allowed Jay Gruden to be a constant presence at home for his three sons. And when
Jon was fired from Tampa Bay in 2008, and shortly thereafter the Arena League went on an extended hiatus,
Jay latched on as offensive coordinator with the Florida Tuskers of the fledgling UFL — hired by then-head
coach Jim Haslett — and assumed the head coaching job when Haslett left to be the Redskins’ defensive
coordinator. In both seasons, the Tuskers played in the UFL title game. And in a delicious twist, Haslett will
now be on Gruden’s staff in Washington.
“The guy is amazing and very intelligent,” Haslett told the Orlando Sentinel in 2009. Speaking of Jon and Jay,
Haslett said, “They’re so much alike, it’s unbelievable.”
But a more knowledgeable source on the personalities of the Gruden brothers — their father, Jim Sr. —
disagrees.
“Jon is the more emotional guy,” said Jim Gruden Sr., in a telephone interview. “Jay is more laid back. I’ve
seen him lose his cool, of course. But Jon can flip the switch on in a second — Jay’s not like that. He doesn’t
fly off the handle. He’s kind of a different dude from Jon.”
One other way the Gruden brothers are different: unlike Jon, Jay was never a cut-throat career-climber who
needed to be in the NFL at all costs.
“It was never a goal of his until the year the Arena League folded,” Jim Gruden Sr. said. “He was never a guy
who was a climber. He was happy where he was. But things change in life. His kids were getting to be collegeage. You could see Jay was starting to think more about the NFL.”
His hiring in Cincinnati in 2011, as offensive coordinator on Marvin Lewis’s Bengals staff, coincided with the
drafting of quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver A.J. Green. In each of their first three seasons, the
Bengals made the AFC playoffs, but lost in the first round, including a 27-10 defeat at home to San Diego on
Sunday. In Gruden’s three seasons there, the Bengals’ offense has risen from 18th to 12th to sixth in the NFL in
points per game, gaining him a reputation as one of the game’s top young offensive minds.

“We are much simpler in our scheme for the quarterback since Jay has come on board,” Lewis told the Bengals’
Web site. “We are not reinventing the wheel against every new defense we face. The quarterback has a lot of
leeway in the things he can call, and Jay has recognized that Andy was the type of player who could use those
options effectively.”
By the end of the 2012 season, Gruden had been asked to interview for four NFL head coaching jobs. When
none panned out, Gruden simply went back to Cincinnati and won another division title. If his career has proven
anything, it is that opportunity will come when it is ready to come, and no sooner.
New Redskins coach: Quiet intensity, offensive creativity, relentless work ethic
By Nathan Fenno
The Washington Times
Jan. 9, 2014
Almost three decades haven’t removed the moment from Howard Schnellenberger’s mind.
On the final play of Jay Gruden’s sophomore season at the University of Louisville in 1986, a Florida State
defensive lineman twisted the quarterback’s left leg into an unnatural position. Gruden’s anterior cruciate
ligament and medial collateral ligament were torn.
“I thought they tore it all the way off,” said Schnellenberger, Louisville’s head coach at the time. “I didn’t think
he’d ever play again. But he came back.”
The injury is part of an unorthodox path taken by Gruden that led to Thursday afternoon’s press conference at
Redskins Park where he was introduced as the troubled franchise’s new head coach.
The same traits of tenacity and toughness that Schnellenberger believed helped Gruden, 46, return from the
knee injury will be needed as he takes charge of a team coming off a tumultuous 3-13 season. He is the eighth
— and youngest — head coach hired by the Redskins since Daniel Snyder purchased the team in 1999.
“He’s one of my favorites because he’s an overachiever,” Schnellenberger said. “He’s a driven person.”
That attitude helped carry Gruden, the son of a former college coach and NFL scout, on a winding journey
through professional football’s hinterlands. In the pass-happy Arena Football League played on 50-yard fields,
he won four championships as a player with the Tampa Bay Storm, then two more as a head coach of the
Orlando Predators. The league’s hall of fame, where he was inducted in 1999, dubbed him “the AFL’s own
version of John Elway.” One Florida newspaper described Gruden as the “Michael Jordan” of the AFL.
The accolades didn’t diminish the sting from an NFL playing career that never happened.
“I never understood why I never got an opportunity, but I’m still a little bitter over that,” Gruden told the
Orlando Sentinel in 2006.
When Gruden’s elder brother, Jon, coached the Buccaneers from 2002 to 2008, he came along as an offensive
assistant and continued his football education before they were fired in 2008.

Attention has never been in short supply for the elder brother after coaching the Buccaneers to a win in the
Super Bowl in 2003 and, these days, as an analyst on ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcasts whose name
regularly pops up in coaching rumors. But in the relative anonymity of little-known football leagues and the
dusty corners of an NFL staff, the younger brother crafted a reputation for quiet intensity, offensive creativity
and a relentless work ethic that made him the first one to hit the weight room or to study film each morning.
“Jay, it takes a little longer for him to get pissed off,” his father, Jim, said from the family’s home in Tampa,
Fla. “It can happen to Jon real fast.”
Added Schnellenberger: “Jon is gregarious, outgoing. He’s a music man. He’s an entertainer. Jay is not that.
He’s down to earth and doesn’t use more words than he needs to use to get his opinions and thoughts across.
His father was a very laid-back guy. Jay takes a lot after him.”
The journey to Washington hasn’t been without bumps. Gruden spent the past three seasons as offensive
coordinator for the Bengals. Their season ended Jan. 5 with a 27-10 loss to the Chargers in the wild-card round
of the playoffs that continued a string of postseason failures.
Questions followed Gruden’s play-calling. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton turned over the ball three times in
the second half and Gruden called for 31 passes in the fourth quarter, despite preaching a balanced attack of
runs and passes.
“Sometimes, maybe, I give coordinators too much credit like, ‘OK, this play worked a couple times, no way it’s
going to work again,’” Gruden told Cincinnati radio station ESPN 1530. “You outthink yourself, and that’s the
whole thing you go through as a coordinator is how to attack.”
Gruden also earned national notoriety for a profane rant captured by the HBO reality series “Hard Knocks”
during Bengals training camp in August. After what he believed to be a poor practice, the coordinator invoked
the name of a popular cartoon mouse before descending into a bleep-filled tirade that included his disinclination
to coach a .500 team and a desire for further attention to detail.
Despite the glitches, he has interviewed for at least six other NFL head coaching jobs since he was hired by the
Bengals.
Gruden’s approach has led to success outside the video-game world of the AFL. With the Florida Tuskers of the
upstart United Football League in 2009, for instance, he helped quarterback Brooks Bollinger earn the league’s
most valuable player award.
“Part of why I felt comfortable as a quarterback was not only what he could teach me just at my position, but
how he made everything else flow together,” Bollinger said. “I think his ability to do that with the offense —
you know, to get guys in the right places and make concepts match up and all the personalities you have to
manage at the other position — I think his understanding of that helps the quarterback have success and feel
very comfortable.”
Jim Haslett, the Redskins’ defensive coordinator the past four seasons, hired Gruden as his offensive
coordinator with the Tuskers. He then succeeded Haslett as head coach when Haslett left to join Mike
Shanahan’s staff as defensive coordinator in Washington in 2010.
Feature Clips
2014
Former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann was part of the Tuskers’ ownership group and interacted with
Gruden on a regular basis.
“I watched the way he worked, watched the way he communicated with players, watched the way players
responded to working for him,” Theismann said. “Everything was really positive.”
The tight-knit connections around the hire don’t end there. Redskins general manager Bruce Allen held the
same position with the Buccaneers from 2004 to 2008 before he and the Grudens were fired. Allen led the
coaching search after Shanahan was fired and sat next to Gruden during Thursday’s press conference. The new
coach had a five-year contract and tried to push beyond the troubles that led the Redskins to losing records in
seven of the past 11 seasons.
“He’s very stoic, a lot more outgoing now [than in college], when he was a man of few words,” Schnellenberger
said. “The smile is on his face all the time.”
A smile that won’t soon fade.
First-year coach Jay Gruden has Redskins thinking quick turnaround
By Don Banks
SI.com
June 12, 2014
ASHBURN, Va. -- The honeymoon months are always fun and filled with promise for a first-time NFL head
coach, in that blank-slate, anything-is-possible sort of way. But soon enough, we'll begin to find out if Jay
Gruden and his new-look Redskins resemble the club that took the NFL by surprise in 2012, storming to an
NFC East title, or the team that bottomed out in dysfunctional fashion in 2013, posting Washington's worst
record (3-13) since the dawn of the Norv Turner era in 1994.
In overview, that is the key question: Which version was the real Redskins? And while we're at it, which
incarnation of quarterback Robert Griffin III will we see in 2014 under Gruden, given that the arc of Griffin's
first two years in the NFL so clearly mirrored the fortunes of the franchise? Somewhere in between is my
hunch, but Gruden knows there's no upside to using the past two wildly divergent seasons in Washington as any
meaningful measuring stick. Whatever the story of this year's Redskins turns out to be, it will only reveal itself
in due time.
"I try to forget what happened here both in '12 and '13,'' Gruden said, talking in the moments after his team's
OTA workout Wednesday afternoon at Redskins Park. "We just want to make it look like '14 around here. It's a
whole new season, with brand new challenges ahead. We can't even think about the last two years. Things were
learned from what happened in '12 and '13, from the growing process as far as a young quarterback is
concerned. But I feel confident in Robert's abilities, and who wouldn't? He's a confident kid.
"If he has a problem right now, a negative, it's he wants every play to work. Sometimes he might throw a ball
into coverage when he shouldn't, especially out here (in offseason workouts). But when you've got the live
bullets flying around (during the season) and he's got the ability to run, I think you'll see more of the element
where he's willing to just get what he can get out of a play and live to fight another day. Out here he's trying to
make every play, but I've been really thrilled with what he's done so far.''

2014
Gruden is wearing Redskins colors in large part, of course, because he's a quarterback-minded coach, hired by a
team that has a franchise quarterback already facing something of a crossroads season in the third year of his
career. The former Bengals offensive coordinator and ex-collegiate and Arena League quarterback sees the
game from the QB position, and his challenge is to fully develop Griffin's gifts and perhaps undo any of the
damage done by the quarterback's January 2013 knee injury and the upheaval of last season, when the trust and
relationship between Griffin and former Washington head coach Mike Shanahan (and offensive coordinator
Kyle Shanahan) completely deteriorated.
How Griffin's game matures under Gruden's touch will be the intriguing backdrop to Washington's 2014 season.
Gruden's challenge is to take some of what Griffin did so brilliantly as a rookie in 2012 and find a way to use
his unique athletic skills within a style of play that is sustainable health-wise. The way to read that may be that
Griffin's read option days aren't completely over, but under Gruden, it'll never be 2012 again.
"Personally my belief is the read option is better as an element of surprise,'' Gruden said. "If you're making it a
major focal point of your offense -- though they had success with it -- that's problematic. You want to have
some of it, no question, because it's the way to get the numbers back in your favor offensively. And with a
quarterback like him, why wouldn't you have some of it?
"But we're trying to develop him as an all-around quarterback. And I don't know if they had that (as a goal). I'm
sure they did a little bit, but I think that's the clear intent moving forward, to develop him as an all-around
quarterback. That's part of his growth, from '12 to '13 to now.''
Griffin seems eager to embrace making the vast majority of his plays from the pocket rather than with his legs,
knowing that approach is necessary for his long-term success in the league. A year removed from last year's
ACL/LCL rehabilitation, Griffin is clearly moving more fluidly without his knee brace and made several pretty
throws from the pocket during the 90-minute OTA session I witnessed. Afterward he pronounced himself "very
comfortable'' in Gruden's offense, but acknowledged it's a work very much in progress.
Under Gruden, Washington's offense will feature some elements of the controlled passing game that helped the
Bengals reach the playoffs in quarterback Andy Dalton's first three seasons in the league, but with doses of the
play-action game that Griffin has excelled in, and plenty of reliance on the Alfred Morris-led running game.
Ideally, Gruden is planning to blend the best of what Cincinnati and Washington did offensively.
"We're going to have some different elements from Cincinnati,'' he said. "Some of the quick passing game will
be about having the ability to get the ball out of the quarterback's hands to receivers out in space, and let them
make a big play after the catch. It's a low-risk, high-reward type play, and you'll see some of those implemented
in our offense. But then, here in Washington, they actually had some good play-action shot plays, and we'll
carry some of those we like. There's definitely some concepts I really like and think are necessary for pro
football quarterbacks.''
The vibe in Washington is predictably upbeat, after the Shanahan era ended in such desultory fashion. I've
known Gruden since covering him in 1992 as the star quarterback of the Arena League's Tampa Bay Storm, and
I knew his approachable, down-to-earth manner would play well with his players, after the somewhat imperial
style of his predecessor in Washington. Chatting with Redskins receiver Santana Moss and newly arrived
defensive end Jason Hatcher on Wednesday, both veterans lauded the sixth full-time head coaching hire of
owner Daniel Snyder's 15-year tenure with the franchise.
Feature Clips
2014
"It's too early to start talking crazy, but I'll just tell you, man, right now the aura in the building is just
tremendously great,'' said Moss, now on his fourth Redskins head coach. "A veteran like myself looks forward
to coming to work knowing that you have a coach who's just so relaxed and so efficient at what he's trying to
teach us. That way we can go out there and be at ease in what we're doing and what we're learning. I think that
kind of approach is a big step toward trying to get your team to believe what you want them to be this year.''
Hatcher, the former Cowboy who signed during free agency, called Gruden "a player's coach'' but hastily added
that he's not incapable of cracking the whip if necessary. "He's not a be-your-friend type of coach,'' Hatcher
said. "He'll put you in your place when you need to be put in your place. But for the most part, he's all about the
players and making the environment fun and stress-free. A lot of coaches in the league are not really player's
coaches, so once you get that chemistry going, knowing the head coach cares about you, you'll run through the
wall for him.''
There are no walls to run through in mid-June, in OTAs, but the Redskins did add some quality pieces in
Hatcher, receivers DeSean Jackson and Andre Roberts and safety Ryan Clark this offseason, and there is a
nucleus of talent on hand that produced a playoff season not that long ago. In the always-competitive NFC East,
where the last repeat champion was the 2003-2004 Eagles, Washington has plenty of ground to make up, but it
also isn't facing a massive rebuilding project.
There is always pressure to win now in Washington, but Gruden doesn't sound cowed by Dan Snyder's track
record of burning through head coaches. When I asked Gruden to give me his perception versus reality
impressions of Snyder, he didn't flinch. "As an outsider looking in, when he first took over, he was --,'' said
Gruden, pausing. A bull in a china shop, I suggested? Laughing, Gruden said, "Yeah, I'm not going to lie. But
the reality of it is he's a very passionate guy who really cares deeply about the Washington Redskins, their
history, their tradition, the fans and this team. And he will do anything in his power to turn it into a champion.
And when it's all said and done, that's the bottom line.
"I think we're getting along great so far, but we haven't lost a game yet. I don't know what will happen then.''
Gruden's older, more famous, brother, Jon Gruden, has been both a Super Bowl champion coach and a fired
coach in this league. He was on hand for Wednesday's workout, and the ex-Raiders and Bucs head coach and
current Monday Night Football analyst said Jay Gruden will prove to be a good hire for Griffin's future.
"I think he's organized, and he's going to be steady,'' Jon Gruden said. "He's proven he's a good play-caller, and
I really like the staff he hired. I think the working environment is very good and I think that will help develop
the players, particularly the quarterback and the young guys they're rolling along with.''
Jay Gruden knows there are no longer three-year windows given to new coaches in the NFL. It's get-it-done
mode, every year. In 2013, three of the league's new coaching hires took their teams to the playoffs (Chip Kelly,
Andy Reid and Mike McCoy) and two more missed the postseason by one game (Bruce Arians and Marc
Trestman). That made it eight consecutive seasons where at least one new coaching hire headed a playoff-bound
team in year one.
"Our bar is set high here,'' Gruden said. "The way you build a team, it can happen quickly. Kansas City was 214 one year, then added a quarterback, stopped turning the ball over and made some plays on defense and went
to the playoffs. The Eagles get their guys healthy, find a quarterback and all of a sudden they're flying high.
That's what happens. It takes some weapons, but I think we have enough people here in this building that we
can be competitive every week, and there's no reason why we can't do some great things this season.''

Landing Jackson, the exiled Eagles receiver coming off a career year under Kelly in Philadelphia, was the
biggest coup Washington executed thus far in 2014. He gives Griffin a proven downfield speed threat and
should help draw coverage away from the likes of Pierre Garcon, Roberts and Moss in the passing game.
Gruden said he doesn't really care what went wrong for Jackson in Philadelphia. He's just happy the Redskins
won the Jackson sweepstakes.
"He's not the only star receiver in the history of the NFL who's left a team and gone elsewhere,'' Gruden said.
"T.O. did it. Randy Moss did it. Jerry Rice left the 49ers. There's been a lot of good players who have left
previous teams for whatever reasons, it could be money, could be issues with the coordinator or head coach,
whatever the reason is. It doesn't mean he can't play. We're willing to take a chance on this guy.
"He's an explosive player and obviously those guys are hard to find. It's one thing to be fast and another to be
extremely tough. He's not afraid of anything. Sometimes in practice it looks like he's coasting, but when you
turn on the tape, he's two or three yards past the other receiver running the same route. He's just got a great
stride and great control about him.''
Gruden's honeymoon phase in Washington remains in bloom for a little while longer, but his own stride and
sense of control of his new team has been impressively steady so far. Nothing short of results will truly matter
come the regular season, but for now, he's a new head coach in the NFL as summer approaches, and that means
all things still seem possible.
Offensive Coordinator Sean McVay
How Sean McVay became Redskins offensive coordinator before his 28th birthday
By Mike Jones
The Washington Post
Jan. 16, 2014
Anyone who has crossed paths with Sean McVay will tell you he’s not normal. They also will say that little
about his meteoric rise to offensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins comes as a surprise.
Just six years ago, McVay hung up his cleats after three injury-plagued seasons as a wide receiver for Miami
(Ohio) and got an entry-level coaching job on Jon Gruden’s staff with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On Tuesday, the Redskins and Coach Jay Gruden , Jon’s brother, finalized the contract that made McVay, who
turns 28 next week, the youngest offensive coordinator in the NFL.
A promotion from tight ends coach, the job McVay held for three seasons under Mike Shanahan, was
inevitable, people around the league say. McVay had the potential to direct his own unit, and many see him as a
head coach in the making.
“He’s been around it all his life. He was born into football,” said former Redskins quarterbacks coach Matt
LaFleur, one of McVay’s closest friends. “He’s passionate, he’s positive and he’s persistent. He has this neversay-die attitude. And his preparation is really impressive. He’s got all the traits you look for in a coach.”
Feature Clips
2014
“Sean’s going to be a star — there’s no question,” Jon Gruden gushed. “. . . He’s got an incredible personality
and a passion for the game. Plus, he’s intelligent and has a strong work ethic. Sean comes from a great football
family. He’s known what he’s wanted to do his whole life. He’s worked hard and been successful with every
opportunity that’s been presented to him.”
McVay certainly boasts strong football lineage. His grandfather, John, coached in the World Football League
and NFL in the 1970s and spent 21 years in the San Francisco 49ers’ front office, winning five Super Bowls.
Sean’s father, Tim, was recruited by Jay Gruden’s father, Jim, and played at Indiana.
During family get-togethers, football dominated the conversations.
“He was always right in the middle of all the discussions with myself, his father and two older uncles,”
McVay’s grandfather remembered. “He was one of those kids that matured early — in life and as an athlete.
Whether it was soccer or football, he was intense, to say the least. He was always concerned with what teams
were doing defensively, what kind of coverages they were playing, who could play man-to-man, who could do
this and that.”
The fascination with X’s and O’s never waned.
When McVay realized his playing career wouldn’t continue past college, he turned his attention to coaching and
interviewed with Gruden, who hired him as an offensive assistant. Jay Gruden held the same title.
McVay calls himself “really fortunate and blessed” to get that job, acknowledging his family’s connection with
the Grudens helped. But he aimed to ensure his work ethic allowed him to stick around.
“I wanted to do whatever job they gave me to the best of my ability, whether it was cutting up film or putting in
formations or putting together tip sheets for the coaches, just whatever I could,” McVay said.
Age doesn’t matter
The Bucs fired Gruden following a 9-7 season in 2008. But McVay and Jay Gruden landed on Jim Haslett’s
coaching staff for the United Football League’s Florida Tuskers — Gruden as the offensive coordinator and
McVay as wide receivers coach.
He was only 22. One of McVay’s players, Jermaine Wiggins, often jokingly asked, “You need me to buy you
your beer after the game? Are you sure you’re old enough?”
The ribbing never swayed McVay, however.
“I’ve always had a confidence and a belief in myself that I belonged,” he explained. “And a lot of that comes
from being around great coaches who are willing to help you grow faster than you probably would have. And
this is what I’ve been around my whole life. It’s where I feel comfortable.”
After that 2009 season with the Tuskers, McVay followed Haslett to Washington, where he was made an
offensive assistant, working primarily with Keenan McCardell and his wide receivers unit.
“He was young, but he didn’t just sit in the corner and watch,” former Redskins wide receiver Anthony
Armstrong recalled. “He actually had a lot of great insight and did a great job of explaining stuff.”
Feature Clips
2014
With roughly a month left in the 2010 season, tight ends coach Jon Embree left the Redskins to coach at
Colorado, and McVay filled in. The following winter, when Jay Gruden tried to bring McVay to Cincinnati,
where he had accepted the job as the Bengals’ offensive coordinator, the Redskins promoted McVay to fulltime tight ends coach to avoid losing him.
Washington’s tight ends thrived. In 2011, Fred Davis enjoyed a career year and appeared headed for the Pro
Bowl before he missed the final four games of the season. The next season, Logan Paulsen had the best year of
his career. In 2013, rookie Jordan Reed developed into a threat, setting franchise records for a rookie tight end.
Now McVay is charged with helping the whole offense excel.
The transition poses a challenge but one that is achievable, associates say.
McVay already has the necessary holistic knowledge. The Grudens often preached the importance of “viewing
the offense from an 11-man standpoint” regardless of coaching position. Under Kyle Shanahan, McVay was
charged with planning third-down packages. And following their talks immediately after his hiring, Jay Gruden
deemed McVay the best fit for an offensive coordinator.
“I’m certainly proud but not at all surprised,” John McVay said. “Sean is so confident and so deeply involved in
this stuff. He’s really immersed himself in the game. He’s a sharp guy, and he’s had some unbelievable
opportunities to learn from some great coaches in Jon and Jay Gruden, Jim Haslett and Mike Shanahan and
Kyle Shanahan.”
A football junkie
Passion, confidence and strong communication skills enable McVay to position his players for success,
colleagues say.
“I swear his alarm goes off at 4:45 in the morning, and he thinks, ‘Yes! Football!’ ” former Redskins tight end
Chris Cooley said. “He’s so excited that he gets to coach, teach and talk football every day, and as a coach, you
have to be like that. Because of that, he’s the most-prepared coach that I’ve ever played for, by far. . . . [His
message] is very clear because he completely understands it. Players pick up very quickly if a coach isn’t really
sure or questions the scheme and what it is. But he was always very clear in what he wanted and expected from
guys. . . . He’s just a little more talented than a lot of people I’ve been around.”
Described as “a people person,” McVay also succeeds because of his ability to read his players and cultivate
relationships with them.
“You look at the room that I was working with as tight ends this past year,” McVay said. “All of those guys are
very good football players, but they also learn in different ways. At the end of the day, your job as a coach is to
help people achieve at their highest potential. . . . So you need to get a feel for those players as people and find,
‘What’s the best way to motivate them and help them reach that highest potential?’ That’s always fascinated
me.”
McVay’s biggest task — and the most important relationship he must cultivate— involves quarterback Robert
Griffin III, who will try to rebound from a tumultuous second season.
Feature Clips
2014
Gruden will serve as play-caller and also will work with Griffin, but McVay is expected to help the transition by
blending the best elements of the old offense with those of Gruden’s playbook.
McVay embraces the challenge, viewing it as simply one more requirement in his progression.
“I can’t control what happened last year,” he said. “All I can control is the relationship that I have with Robert,
and we’re going to develop that, and it’s going to be strong. . . . We’re going to work and succeed together, and
any failures, we’ll go through those together as well. So I’m not worried about what has happened before. I’m
just excited about what’s ahead.”
Defensive Coordinator Jim Haslett
Jim Haslett thinks this year’s defense has a lot of potential
By Jason Reid
The Washington Post
June 20, 2014
For four seasons — three of which ended with 10 or more losses — defensive coordinator Jim Haslett followed
orders while former head coach Mike Shanahan made his job more difficult by tinkering with the defense,
people within the organization say. And although Haslett often was frustrated that Shanahan, who had roster
control, invested more heavily on offense during free agency, he kept his concerns in house.
With the arrival of new Coach Jay Gruden, with whom Haslett worked previously, things have changed. Team
President and General Manager Bruce Allen, who now has final say over the roster, committed almost $26
million in guaranteed money to retain outside linebacker Brian Orakpo and defensive lineman Chris Baker, and
lure defensive lineman Jason Hatcher from the Dallas Cowboys.
Haslett is confident Orakpo, Hatcher and Baker will play major roles in bolstering Washington’s pass rush,
which hasn’t been good enough since Shanahan scrapped the team’s longtime, successful 4-3 defense in favor
of a 3-4 alignment. Haslett is also optimistic about improvement in the secondary — Washington’s safeties
probably couldn’t play much worse — and generally pleased with the defensive roster at this stage of the
offseason.
On July 23, the Redskins report to training camp in Richmond. After the team completed minicamp on
Wednesday at Redskins Park, Haslett is eager to get going again.
“I like our guys. I really do,” Haslett said the other day. “We’ve got a good group. We’ve got some versatility to
do different things.”
With the arrival of Hatcher, who had 11 sacks for the Cowboys last fall, Haslett plans to be highly aggressive in
rushing the passer. Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan, Washington’s starting outside linebackers, are expected to have
more freedom to attack than they had under Shanahan.
“We’re going to try to take advantage of some of the guys we have,” Haslett said.

Haslett has many ideas about how to best use Hatcher, who was scheduled to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery
Thursday and may miss the beginning of training camp. “I’m not a doctor. I don’t know” when Hatcher will
return, Haslett said. “I just know he’s a heck of a football player. We’e excited to have him on our team. He’s
going to be fine.”
An improved pass rush would help the secondary. But the Redskins need their young defensive backs,
especially David Amerson and Bacarri Rambo, to take big steps forward.
“Obviously, that’s a key,” Haslett said. “You’ve got to have some guys grow up. It’s a maturation process. We
expect all of those guys to get better and better.”
Special Teams Coordinator Ben Kotwica
Redskins’ Ben Kotwica has players lining up to join his ‘special forces’
By Mike Jones
The Washington Post
July 10, 2014
The former Apache helicopter pilot and company commander stood in front of the room and issued the
challenge.
“Who wants to join my special forces?” Ben Kotwica asked, strong and clear as he conducted his first special
teams meeting at Redskins Park back in the spring. He spoke of pride, commitment, and a physical style of
play, and again, asked who wanted to join his “special forces.”
Ears perked up. Things had definitely changed.
Special teams play ranked among the lowest of the lowlights during Washington’s 3-13 campaign in 2013.
Keith Burns never could find the right buttons to push as the first-year coordinator who took over for the longtime, well-respected firecracker of a special teams coach, Danny Smith. Burns struggled to find willing
participants to round out his units. Some players disagreed with his philosophies and schemes, and that led to
arguments in meeting rooms and sometimes on the sidelines. During one heated exchange, Burns challenged a
player to fight him.
There was nothing special about Washington’s special teams units. All pride in the units had been lost.
And so, finding the right man to overhaul the unit ranked among Jay Gruden’s first moves after being hired as
head coach in January.
He zeroed in on Kotwica, whose contract with the New York Jets had just expired. Under Kotwica, the Jets in
2013 ranked among the top 10 in the NFL in kickoff return yards, and 17th on kickoff coverage. By no
coincidence, those two areas had ranked among Washington’s biggest weaknesses.
It also wasn’t just happenstance that some of Kotwica’s strengths — discipline, planning, strong motivational
and communication skills — represented weaknesses of the previous coordinator.
Feature Clips
2014
Kotwica had proven himself as a fast riser in the NFL coaching ranks. And his leadership skills came without
question both on the field and off.
‘Apply within’
After concluding his senior season as a linebacker for Army, where he anchored the defense and helped his
team to 10 wins — most in school history — Kotwica went on to serve his country as an Apache helicopter
pilot. During his eight years in the Army, Kotwica deployed to Bosnia, and was stationed in Korea. In 2004, as
a captain in the second Iraq war, Kotwica flew more than 1,000 combat hours.
Kotwica never lost his love for football, and he realized coaching bore a number of similarities to his role as a
company commander, where he had to unite a group of men, get them to buy in on an important mission and
execute with precision.
Upon completion of his military career in 2005, Bob Sutton, Kotwica’s former coach at West Point, helped the
soldier get a job as the defensive coordinator for the U.S. Military Academy prep school’s football team.
Two years later, upon Sutton’s recommendation, then-Jets head coach Eric Mangini gave Kotwica an entrylevel job on his staff as a quality control assistant for the defensive and special teams units. Six years later, he
was promoted to special teams coordinator.
Now in Washington, Kotwica assumes the task of rebuilding the special teams units. During free agency, the
Redskins pursued players who could contribute there, not just on offense or defense.
In the opening days of the shopping period, Washington signed wide receiver Andre Roberts, who will compete
as a punt and kick returner, and linebackers Akeem Jordan and Adam Hayward, who had both served as special
teams captains for their previous teams.
During his initial address and in meetings since, Kotwica has stressed the importance of excellence on special
teams. This isn’t where players incapable of starting get stashed, as a number of players viewed the units last
season. Kotwica wants and expects the best.
“I think any time you try to form a unit or an organization, you want to instill a culture,” Kotwica said. “So
there are things that I’ve brought from my military background. I put an ‘Apply within’ sign on my front door,
and we’re taking all applicants, and I think guys have bought into that. A lot of guys have signed up and want to
help this ballclub.”
Thus far, Kotwica’s tactics have worked.
There’s a new air in the special teams meetings and practices, said fullback Darrel Young — one of the few
bright spots on the units last season. He said Kotwica, with his militaristic style, has impressed players and
already has proven himself as “a leader of men.”
Fellow special teams standout Niles Paul — one of the few players last season who seemed vexed over the
disarray of the unit — agrees.

“We’ve got a bunch of — with all the people we brought in — a bunch of people feeding off each other, who
believe in what we’re doing out here and who are having a good time,” Paul said. “It’s definitely the way Ben
communicates. You know Ben is a military guy. First day of special teams, he addressed us and said, ‘Who
wants to join my special forces?’ And everybody was like, ‘Dang, I want to join the special forces.’ He’s getting
everybody to buy into what he’s selling. We’re believing in him. That’s the big thing when you get a new
coach, is guys believing in him. . . . Guys are communicating, guys are wanting to make tackles. That’s what
special teams is all about.”
Gruden agreed that Kotwica’s approach makes it impossible for players to take his message lightly or disrespect
him.
“Hell,” Gruden chuckled. “He intimidates me. I’m never going to overstep my boundaries with him.”
Leading by example
But Kotwica has done more than talk. He has backed up his all-hands-on-deck message by enlisting the services
of position coaches to help the special teams staff in an attempt to ensure that his players receive the best
instruction possible, and to spark greater unity.
“I think that you can talk special teams and how important it is, but you’ve got to walk it,” Kotwica said. “I
think when you incorporate those other coaches, I think the players see that and feel how important that is. You
can hear that special teams are important and field position is important, but when players see [wide receivers
coach] Ike Hilliard, [running backs coach] Randy Jordan helping out, it internalizes that.”
In addition to speed, physicality and precision, Kotwica has stressed the importance of competition. He has both
inexperienced and seasoned players auditioning for roles on his units. Washington also has two place kickers,
two punters and even two long snappers competing for jobs — a rarity.
Kotwica believes that competition will cause the players to work harder for jobs while also positioning him to
field the best possible units, which will spur a Washington turnaround. That and preparation represent the
biggest keys to success, the coach believes.
“Whether it’s in the desert of Iraq or out on the football field on Sunday,” Kotwica said, “you have to be able to
make adjustments and instill that confidence in your soldiers or your players that the job is going to get done.”
Iraq War veteran Ben Kotwica brings authority to Redskins’ special teams
By Tom Schad
Sept. 3, 2014
A little more than a decade ago, U.S. Army Capt. Ben Kotwica landed in Taji, Iraq, a sandy city 20 miles north
of Baghdad. It was April 2004 and Operation Iraqi Freedom II was humming along. The situation on the ground
was calm, at least for a while.
Then in May, the Mahdi Army attacked Sadr City. In November, Marines entered Fallujah. From the cockpit of
an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, Kotwica was often right in the middle of it all, zipping overhead at low

2014
altitudes and providing reconnaissance or cover fire. By the time he returned home in March 2005, he had
logged more than 1,000 combat hours.
"I didn't want to be in combat," Kotwica said. "But I wasn't averse to pulling triggers and doing that kind of
mission."
The mission Kotwica faces now is trivial by comparison. His tasks are no longer matters of life and death but of
touchbacks and hang times, wedges and coverage schemes. As the new special teams coordinator of the
Washington Redskins, he has been tasked with turning around what was statistically the worst unit in the league
last season, according to a formula created by Football Outsiders.
Kotwica's job has changed since 2004, but he brings the same approach and attitude to coaching that he brought
to his role as an officer in places such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Korea and Iraq: Technical expertise. Meticulous
attention to detail. Open communication. And above all else, a type of firm, confident demeanor befitting a
military veteran.
"You do notice it," linebacker Akeem Jordan said. "I wouldn't say he's intimidating. I'd say he has a leader's
presence. There's not too many times that you would doubt his judgment."
'I wanted to do a cool job'
Before he was a coach or an officer, Kotwica was a starting linebacker and team captain at Army. He led the
Black Knights to their only 10-win season and most recent Commander-in-Chief's Trophy in 1996, and it was
during his time at West Point that he also began to think about life after graduation.
"Really my thought was if I was going to be in the Army, I wanted to do a cool job," he said. "And I thought
flying would be pretty darn cool. So that's what I did."
After a year coaching at West Point's preparatory school, Kotwica enrolled in flight school. Free to choose his
preferred type of aircraft, he picked the Apache, an attack helicopter, rather than the Black Hawk, which is more
commonly used for transporting troops. Or, in his words: "I went guns."
Kotwica was stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina before being deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he
spent seven months as a platoon leader. He then returned home briefly before moving on to Korea for six
months, and later Iraq.
Kotwica is careful not to reveal too many details about his time in Taji. When asked about his role in the
context of the war, he says only that, "there were a variety of mission sets that we executed in Iraq." Sometimes
he served as convoy security or air security for VIPs visiting the country. Sometimes he flew to gather
reconnaissance or help identify targets during a conflict on the ground. And yes, sometimes, he had to pull the
trigger in battle.
"The most rewarding mission was helping the guys on the ground," Kotwica said. "When we did pull triggers, I
never looked at it as an opportunity to take somebody else's life. I really looked at it as an opportunity to save
our soldiers' lives."
Kotwica estimates he was in the air six days a week, working toward objectives that took anywhere from two to
five hours to complete. He learned to navigate a city like Baghdad at low altitudes, sometimes dodging wires

and towers in shade or darkness. And he experienced the challenges of a nonlinear battlefield, where there are
no clearly marked boundaries between clusters of allied troops and the enemy.
In March 2005, Kotwica and the 1st Cavalry Division were sent home, marking the end of both his final tour
and his eight-year military career. Kotwica retired with three medals and a Bronze Star.
"I loved the military. I really, really enjoyed my time there," Kotwica said. "But my time was up."
'How can I help you get better?'
Kotwica grew up on the south side of Chicago, the son of a military veteran who went on to become a state
police officer. His parents ran what he called a "disciplined household," where everyone had responsibilities and
every action had consequences.
It was here, long before Kotwica accepted his scholarship offer to West Point, that he developed his unique
demeanor. The military molded his personality, but the roots were in his childhood and how he was raised by
his parents.
"I think that I've always had somewhat of a, I don't know if the word is mature, or certain demeanor about me,"
he said.
That demeanor, among other things, always made Kotwica think he might be a successful coach. Even in Pop
Warner leagues as a kid, coaches would pinpoint him as a future leader. "Hey Ben," they'd say. "You might
want to look at this coaching thing. I think you'd be pretty good at it."
When Kotwica returned home from Iraq in 2005, he received an email and an invitation from then-Army coach
Bobby Ross, asking if he'd like to coach at the academy's preparatory school. Kotwica worked as the defensive
coordinator there for a season before later jumping up to the NFL and joining the New York Jets. Bob Sutton,
who was New York's defensive coordinator at the time, had been the head coach at Army during Kotwica's
playing days.
Kotwica didn't come from a heavy special teams background, but soon worked his way up the ladder under
longtime special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff, who retired after the 2012 season. Kotwica used his time in
New York to learn the finer aspects of special teams play, and he hasn't stopped learning since.
"He'll come to us and ask, 'How can I help you get better?' That's an awesome thing," said punter Robert
Malone, who played under Kotwica in New York and was released by the Redskins last week. "A lot of coaches
have a lot of pride and they don't get to that level, but he's a very humble coach. And he's willing to learn
whatever it takes to help us."
'Sense of accountability'
Kotwica isn't exactly a drill sergeant, players say, but there's no confusion in what he says. First-year coach Jay
Gruden said Kotwica "doesn't beat around the bush." Long snapper Nick Sundberg called it "brutal honesty."
"I like that about him," Sundberg said. "If I have a bad day, I want to hear about it. I don't want things to be
sugarcoated or anything like that. It's not sugarcoated on Sundays. So if I need to get better, he tells me I need to
get better."
Feature Clips
2014
Kotwica demands precision and exact timing in every drill at every practice. Make a mistake while covering a
punt return and he will work with you to fix it. Make the same mistake a second time and, in Jordan's words,
"you can tell."
"I think players respect him a lot in that regard," Gruden said. "There's a sense of accountability amongst our
players that has to be taught, and Coach Kotwica is a perfect guy to teach that."
Keith Burns, once a star special teams player who was hand-picked by former coach Mike Shanahan, oversaw
Washington's dreadful special teams performance last season. Before that, Danny Smith steered the unit to
mediocrity over eight years.
Sundberg said Kotwica "brings a lot to the table that we, I'll just say, lacked last season."
Whether it stems from his military background or everyday demeanor, Kotwica believes Redskins fans will see
his fingerprint on special teams this season. The unit, which he has aptly dubbed "special forces," will be more
physical than in years past, he said. More organized. More disciplined. And, if all goes according to plan, more
successful.
"I'll tell you what, some of the schemes that he's doing with us and stuff like that, I'm excited, man," fullback
Darrel Young said. "You'll see guys out there giving a lot of effort. I can promise you that."
S Ryan Clark
‘Old guy’ Ryan Clark will fill leadership role for Redskins
By Brian McNally
June 18, 2014
Redskins safety Ryan Clark eyed the group of former players who showed up to watch a minicamp practice this
week and smiled.
By his rough count, Clark, now 34 and back with Washington for the first time since 2005 after signing as a free
agent this spring, had played with a quarter of the ex-Redskins who attended. Most of those men have long
since finished their football careers. Clark is still going with no plans to stop.
“I guess that tells you a little bit about when I was here,” Clark joked after a minicamp practice on Wednesday.
“But for me, it’s good. There are a lot of places I could have went where it would have been like starting over.
This really isn’t. I have a foundation here. I know people here. I also know the fanbase. I know what it is to be a
member of this team. … It was a good choice.”
Safety was a problem area for Washington throughout last year’s miserable 3-13 campaign. It had to be
addressed. And while Clark’s age makes him a short-term answer, coaches and teammates say he still brings
value at a position of need. On a defense that lost its unquestioned leader, linebacker London Fletcher, to
retirement, Clark could help fill that void.
Feature Clips
2014
“I love a guy like Ryan to be around just for what our defense was missing,” said wide receiver Santana Moss,
who played with Clark in Washington in 2005. “I think with London leaving, Ryan is the next best guy to be
out there, to be able to listen to and to be able to talk to these young guys.”
Moss remembers Clark, undrafted out of LSU before catching on with the New York Giants in 2002, calling out
plays and communicating with defensive teammates — veterans whose heads would swivel to see if this
unheralded youngster knew what he was doing. He usually did.
Clark parlayed his tenure with Washington into eight seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where that defense
ranked in the top five in the NFL in yards allowed per game for six years in a row and led the league four times.
Clark started 109 of 111 games with the Steelers, played alongside strong safety Troy Polamalu and went to two
Super Bowls, winning one of them. In 2011 he was named to the Pro Bowl.
In Washington, the mercurial Brandon Meriweather is what passed for a steady veteran last season. Given his
checkered disciplinary history, that didn’t amount to much. Otherwise at safety, the Redskins have Tanard
Jackson, stained by multiple drug suspensions and a complete question mark in his return to the NFL; the
talented Phillip Thomas, who missed his entire rookie year with a Lisfranc injury to his left foot; and Bacarri
Rambo, who was overwhelmed as a rookie last season.
“You have to have great communication skills,” defensive coordinator Jim Haslett said. “And we’ll give [Clark]
some leeway. When we game plan we’ll have those guys have some checks and do some different things
because, obviously, he can handle it. He did some [Wednesday]. That’s a good addition to our football team.”
Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III laughed when asked about Clark. In one of their first conversations as
teammates, the two men recalled a game at Pittsburgh in 2012 when Griffin went out for a pass, was whistled
for a pass interference penalty and was promptly drilled with a helmet-to-helmet hit by Clark. It wasn’t funny at
the time, though, and Griffin joked that play was quickly deleted from the team’s playbook.
“I think what everyone points to is leadership,” Griffin said. “But you just can’t come in and start talking and
have people listen to you no matter what your pedigree is. I think [Clark] has done a good job coming in and
showing it, working hard and then making plays out on the field. … We’re glad to have him.”
But leadership is an intangible. Clark is determined to show that a disappointing 2013 season, when Pittsburgh
tumbled to 13th in yards allowed and missed the playoffs for a second consecutive year, wasn’t indicative of
age catching up to him.
Clark started all 16 games for the Steelers and had two interceptions. But his play suffered compared to 2012,
which he considers the finest season of his career. He is sure that level isn’t beyond him yet.
“They call me ‘old guy’ around here. Every now and then, the younger guys point to my age,” Clark said. “And
I tell them ‘I’m still good enough to be running around with you.’ So either they gotta get better or eventually I
gotta be 40.”

QB Kirk Cousins
Ex-Spartan Kirk Cousins winning over Capitol
By Lynn Henning
The Detroit News
October 11, 2014
Ashburn, Va. — Anyone who studied him at Michigan State, the quarterback and the man, had a sense for how
Kirk Cousins would deal with a temporary NFL quarterbacking crisis.
Publicly, he would take the sack for four interceptions thrown in a rare and hideous game against the Giants a
few days earlier. He would do it with accountability, with a steely smile on his face and a cleric's resolve in his
voice and with a diplomat's sense for saying exactly the right thing.
Days later, after he had gone 21-for-36 with zero interceptions against the Seahawks' shock-and-awe defense,
and after partnering with the gifted DeSean Jackson on some glorious plays good for a more-like-it passing
rating of 102.0, Cousins again would prove there's no path like the high road.
"I didn't like that we lost," Cousins said after his Washington team had been whipped by Seattle, 27-17, on
Monday night at FedExField. "We avoided negative plays — not a lot of sacks, no turnovers — and that's a
positive. But when you lose, you lose, and that's all that matters in this league."
A few days earlier he had sat on a brown leather sofa tucked within Washington's NFL practice center 8 miles
from Dulles Airport. With blue jays squawking, deer prancing about, and pine and maple trees circling four
practice fields and team facilities, there was a feeling of Michigan's Up North to an NFL team's sanctuary.
A man from Holland, Michigan, who spent five years at Michigan State can appreciate the atmosphere in
multiple ways. He might be steering an NFL team (1-4 record) with issues. But he remembers a rugged stretch
or two in East Lansing as Cousins and coach Mark Dantonio together helped change Michigan State's football
culture.
"I feel like I was in a leadership laboratory there," said Cousins, wearing a yellow mesh jersey and burgundy
team cap as he took a short, pre-practice break. "Even though I majored in kinesiology, I knew my real degree
at Michigan State was in leadership — and in life.
"Just watching Coach Dantonio, and being put into a position of responsibility, gave me a background in
learning how to handle tough circumstances. Up here, the game is bigger, stronger, faster. The spotlight is
brighter."
Wanted by Washington
These particular weeks in Washington would qualify as sticky, for sure. The record is bad. The team is breaking
in a new coach, Jay Gruden, who replaced the previous coach, Mike Shanahan, which tends to happen after a
team goes 3-13, as was the case in 2013.
Feature Clips
2014
There have been awful injuries to star cornerback DeAngelo Hall (Achilles heel, gone for 2014) and, of course,
to the man Cousins last year replaced, Robert Griffin III, whose knee and ankle ills have for part of the past year
kept a supposed franchise quarterback from performing.
Into this arena has stepped a 2012 fourth-round pick from Michigan State. Cousins mostly has been a hit in his
work at Washington, even if he is 1-6 as a starter on a team that is on a 4-17 run.
But his craftsmanship against the Seahawks — 21-for-36, 283 yards, two touchdowns, no picks — was in tune
with past cameos from a 26-year-old whose talents explain why Shanahan wanted him early in the 2012 draft.
Even after RG3 had been selected by Washington in 2012's first round, second overall, for a trade price so steep
the Securities and Exchange Commission should have examined it, Shanahan wanted Cousins as insurance.
Shanahan liked Cousins in the same manner Dantonio had been impressed in 2007. The Spartans were shopping
for quarterbacks not long after Dantonio replaced John L. Smith. A new coach known for being a film critic in
the vein of the late Siskel and Ebert had spotted a kid from Holland Christian High School who appeared to be
headed to Western Michigan or Toledo.
Cousins had broken his ankle his junior season at Holland Christian and those X-rays were about to drop a 6foot-3, rifle-armed teenager into the recruiting world's murk, all before Dantonio called.
A couple of years later, Cousins was Michigan State's starter. He and the Spartans went 22-5 his junior and
senior years, including a share of a Big Ten title in 2010. A quarterback with all the requisite glitter — arm,
accuracy, smarts, charisma — helped make Dantonio's program a model for Big Ten football revival.
'I like Kirk Cousins'
Only rarely since he slammed onto the scene at East Lansing, and then Washington, has Cousins known any
deep football grief. But it arrived in all its gore and groans on Sept. 25, a Thursday night game against the
Giants, when America could watch on a spotlight CBS telecast a quarterback's descent into hell.
Four interceptions. A fumble. Giants defenders saying they could see from Cousins' eyes where he was
targeting a pass they often pilfered in a grisly 45-17 butchering of Cousins & Co. The mayhem came four days
after Cousins had thrown for 427 yards against the Eagles.
As any quarterback will vouch, NFL games can be alternating experiences in building and demolishing
reputations.
"It's not the first time I failed," Cousins said as he leaned into the sofa, rap music booming from the team's
nearby weight room. "I think it's only important that you don't let it define you."
The Giants debacle was a combination of every bad habit Cousins had ever accommodated, even during his
early days at Michigan Sate. His footwork was, at times, a mess. He made incredibly narrow reads compounded
by, as Giants defenders had said, his giveaway glances that might as well have turned them into Washington
receivers.

2014
It was ugly and embarrassing. And it was out of character for a young NFL quarterback whose big-game skills
had been a trademark since his days when the Spartans were taking apart their regular-season enemies and
winning a bowl over a Southeastern Conference bruiser on the level of Georgia.
"Michigan State prepared me well — above the neck," said Cousins as he talked about hitting the film room and
cleaning up after his Giants disaster. "The thing is, in the NFL, every week you're playing an Ohio State, or a
Wisconsin, or even an Alabama or a Georgia.
"You're not playing one of those games that you are in college where maybe, early in the season, you're beating
a team, 49-3. There's no chance for a game like that here — not where you can go out and maybe not perform at
a full level."
Gruden agreed that Cousins has had an experience a little different from every NFL quarterback, some of whom
have played in Pro Bowls.
"He can make the tough throw very easy, and he can make some easy throws a little tough," Gruden said. "It's
just part of the consistency process."
Against a hyper-cruel Seahawks defense Monday night, Cousins had revived, something ESPN analyst Jon
Gruden noted time and time again:
"Seven steps, one hitch," the analyst said. "That ball can't be thrown any better.
"Good work by Kirk Cousins. I like Kirk Cousins."
Building relationships
Cousins would say the same about Washington, even if that 1-4 record is somber. He and his wife, Julie, an
Atlanta native whom he married in June, live five minutes from team headquarters in Ashburn.
For a west-side Michigan man, Washington D.C.'s culture is comfortable and inviting. He proposed to Julie on
the U.S. Capitol building's steps, with its vista overlooking a town of beauty and eternal history.
There are days when he and Julie simply park their car and traipse from one landmark to another: The
Smithsonian, the National Archives, the National Air and Space Museum, the Library of Congress, etc.
He is friends with Congressman Bill Huizenga, who represents his old Grand Rapids turf, and Cousins mentions
he enjoyed a chance meeting with House Speaker John Boehner.
His gift not only for smooth, rapid-fire responses, but for a brand of oratory that led to an epic speech at the
2011 Big Ten Football Kickoff Luncheon, naturally would lead one to suspect politics might be in Cousins'
post-NFL plans.
Even in news conferences, where he tends to appear about as often as Jay Gruden, Cousins is an erudite
charmer, articulately explaining football and his place in a game of such complexity, all while often addressing
questioners by their first name.
Feature Clips
2014
As for a career in Congress or beyond, Cousins does not say yes, he does not say no, which means already he is
mastering a pol's skill for non-declarations. But it would be no surprise if in a few short years Cousins is
running as a Republican, true to his Christian evangelical roots (his father, Don, is pastor at Discovery Church
in Orlando, Fla.) and his happy relationships with the likes of Huizenga and, however cursory, Boehner.
But those thoughts hardly keep Cousins occupied in October 2014. He has film to watch. And practice to attend.
And another game this week, at Arizona.
"As a quarterback," he said, slipping into some basic NFL philosophy, "there are going to be things that go your
way, and other times that will be tough. The guys who last are the guys who can ride it out and be as consistent
as they can."
If that sounds like something a young man from Michigan State might have said not long ago, you know
Cousins. And you know not much has changed. A uniform, yes. The person, no way.
Forget flash, quarterback Kirk Cousins goes for comfort with his ride to Washington
By Peter J. Wallner
Mlive.com
June 5, 2014
When it comes to training camp arrivals, Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins is the anti-Reggie Wayne.
Unlike the Indianapolis Colts receiver, who pulled into the parking lot of the Colts camp facility last week in an
Indy car driven by professional driver Ed Carpenter, Cousins opted for a more conservative method of
transportation when he and his wife, Julie, arrived in town in a conversion van.
The van, a limited-edition 2000 model, belonged to his grandfather who passed away during the offseason,
Cousins told The Washington Post, and it was no longer needed by his grandmother. So he bought it from her.
“It’ll serve us well (in the Washington area), because my wife and I each have a car, but then when people come
into town, it’ll kind of be a third car,” said Cousins, the former Michigan State quarterback and Holland native.
“And it’s perfect for driving the hour-and-a-half from Ashburn to the games. And then they can tailgate, and
they’ve got a TV in there, and you can kind of carry luggage in there. So it works well when visitors come to
town for games, and Julie and I will take it on road trips in the offseason.”
Cousins’ entrance wasn’t as grand as Wayne’s for other reasons, too, since Washington players reach the
practice facility in Richmond, Va., via a shuttle bus. So the van has not yet been seen by his teammates.
“Wait until I roll into the facility when we get back to Ashburn,” Cousins said. “That’ll be fun. I think my
teammates will laugh a little bit.”
Before he left, Cousins said the van even attracted attention around West Michigan.
“You know what, sometimes I’d pull up to a stoplight when I was driving around Holland, and I think they’d
expect an elderly person or a middle-aged dad to be pulling up,” he said. “And sure enough, I pull up.”

QB Robert Griffin III
Robert Griffin III and Jay Gruden: Inside a budding relationship
By Albert Breer
NFL.com
June 5, 2014
ASHBURN, Va. -- Jay Gruden was hired to coach a superstar.
But he says that's anything but what he's found the task to be with Robert Griffin III, as the Washington
Redskins work through organized team activities and approach the summer break.
Yes, Griffin is high-profile. Yes, there's the ugly way last season played out. Yes, there's a lot on the line,
considering what the franchise has invested in its 24-year-old front man. Yes, this is a player who's basked in a
smoldering spotlight since bursting onto the national scene midway through the 2011 college season.
And yet, what has struck Gruden the most thus far is ...
"How smart he is," Gruden said, in a private moment after Wednesday's OTA practice. "He picked up
everything effortlessly. He works hard at it, he studies it, he understands the position, and he's willing to learn
and willing to take coaching. A guy with as much success as he's had, as early as he is in this young stage of his
life, some guys are like, 'Eh, I don't need your coaching, I don't need this, I wanna do it my way.' He's not that
way at all. He wants to be coached, he wants to learn the game, he wants to study.
"He wants to be the greatest. And he knows he has a long way to go, which is refreshing from a guy that's had a
Heisman Trophy and as much publicity as he's had. He knows he has work to do, and he's willing to put in the
work. That's strikes me as ... I just wasn't expecting that."
Hard to blame Gruden for his preconceived notions. No matter which side you fall on, the waning moments of
the 2013 Redskins' 3-13 campaign were marked by a clash between old-school coach and new-school
quarterback. Some saw the former as unbending. Others saw the latter as too headstrong.
So there was a shakeup. Mike Shanahan was fired. General manager Bruce Allen was given more control and,
eventually, the title of president. Gruden was brought in to fix the rest.
The way the new head coach sees it, when it comes to the game's most vital position, he already has plenty to
work with.
"I think the total package you look for in a quarterback, if you're gonna create a player on Xbox, a quarterback,
I think it'd look like (Griffin)," Gruden said. "I want a guy that can run 4.4, 4.3. I want a guy that can throw it
this far, I want a guy that can scramble in the pocket. I want a guy that's smart enough to handle this, this and
this. That's what you want. Now, it's time for him to go out there and do it."
Gruden very cautiously concedes that his relationship with Griffin might be the most important one in the
building -- "It is, but I think my relationship with everybody is important" -- and as such, the new boss knows
these days are important ones. Gruden, who spent the past three seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive
Feature Clips
2014
coordinator, landed the Redskins' head-coaching gig on Jan. 9. He's been working with RGIII since the
offseason program began on April 7. What's next? Plenty.
During our conversation, Gruden detailed where he and Griffin need to go over the coming months. To be sure,
there's lots of work to do.
The Offense
Griffin said Wednesday that there are similarities between the offense he ran under Shanahan and the one
Gruden is installing now, in that both have West Coast roots. But, Gruden said, "For certain plays and schemes,
you have to treat them like he's never heard of them -- because he's never heard of them. And then you have to
show him."
The coach said they put in maybe 25 or 30 concepts in a typical day, and the offense will rep those against a
certain coverage and look. The next day, the concept might come against a different look -- and no one will
have more responsibility to react to that change than Griffin. In that way, Gruden says there are times he has to
coach Griffin like he did Andy Dalton when Dalton was a Bengals rookie in 2011. Other times it's easier,
because Griffin is familiar with the concept.
"It's a whole training of your brain -- where you wanna go, how quick you can get there, the decisions you make
as a quarterback against each coverage with each concept," Gruden said. "It'll take some time. But we have a lot
of time, we have some film projectors in here, and he's willing to look at those and study them."
The Player
In describing Griffin as a dreamt-up video-game terror, Gruden freely admits there's a personal challenge rooted
in his lack of experience with dual-threat quarterbacks. He's learning, too. He doesn't want Griffin to have his
head ripped off. He also doesn't want to black out a rare athlete's electricity.
"It's one of the great dilemmas that I have as a coach," he explained. "How do you tell a guy not to scramble,
when I see Russell Wilson and (Colin) Kaepernick and even Andrew Luck and Aaron Rodgers make some of
the biggest plays throughout the course of a game or season on broken plays? So you can't just say, 'Robert, I
want you in the pocket; if it's not there, throw it away.' I want him to be himself and play."
Griffin logged 120 carries (eight per game) in his Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign of 2012. That number
dropped to 86, or 6.6 per game, last year. Gruden's still figuring out whether it should dip again in 2014.
"I'm not gonna be the type of guy that's like, 'Hey, don't ever scramble. Stay in the pocket. I want you to be like
Tom Brady,' " Gruden said. "Part of the thing that draws you to a guy like that is that he's not like everyone else.
He's a special player playing the position like nobody else has played it. So we have to use his strengths, also.
Maybe sometimes, he makes a poor decision or takes a hard hit that, hopefully, he gets up from. In the
meantime, part of my job is to reduce the risk."
The Mindset
Gruden said he can reduce the risk plenty through play calling, managing the number of called runs and finding
ways to get the ball out of Griffin's hands quicker. But there's also an element that he's coaching into Griffin
now, as Shanahan did in 2012 and '13.
Feature Clips

The coach and quarterback have watched plenty of film to try to improve Griffin's habits on two fronts. First,
there's tape that shows Griffin bypassing chances to get out of bounds unscathed -- opting instead to pick up a
couple of extra yards. Gruden is trying to get his QB to weigh risk and reward, teaching him that punting can be
OK.
"Get yourself out of bounds, let's get to the huddle and play the next one," Gruden said, relating his advice to
RGIII. "But like I said before, he's such a competitor; he wants every play to succeed. He's gotta understand, the
defense is gonna win their battles. It's about winning the entire war, so to speak, from the position. Knowing
when to throw it away and punt."
Second, there's the issue of ball security, which Gruden sees as paramount.
"You don't have to scramble around and hold the ball out here and get a forced fumble," Gruden said. "Part of it
is uncoachable. It's instinct."
The Progression
During Griffin's transcendent 2012 season, many were quick to crown the quarterback. The truth is, he was
running many of his college concepts as a rookie. Eventually, the NFL caught up to some of it, and in that way,
part of his growth was delayed a year. The ACL tear that required him to undergo surgery in January 2013 only
complicated that. All of which Gruden recognizes.
"He's gotta play," Gruden said. "He's not gonna become the greatest quarterback in Year 3; he's gonna have his
growing pains. It's a matter of learning the position, and learning situations, protections, when to throw it away,
when not to throw it away, when maybe not to take that hit. All that. All the situations, the touch throws, the
anticipation throws, the deep throws. Every game is different, and is gonna become a different challenge for
him. ... He's just gotta play."
The good news? Gruden sees a player who can roll with the punches, pointing to a sequence of plays on
Wednesday as evidence. Griffin threw a pick, overthrew a receiver on an out-breaking route, then threw another
pick. Backup Kirk Cousins came in to get his reps, then third-stringer Colt McCoy took his turn. Griffin came
back and, Gruden said, reeled off "four great plays," showing an ability to process his mistakes and continue
moving forward.
"We're challenging him right now," Gruden said. "We're throwing a lot of fastballs at him -- see what he can hit.
Some good, hard-breaking pitches, low and away -- see what happens, see if he bites at them. It's great. He's
handled it great, man."
And that brings us back to the crucial nature of the relationship between Gruden, a former quarterback himself
and a teacher of the position by trade, and Griffin. The third-year Redskin is reluctant to expound on it now,
because he knows the implications of his words and how they could be projected back to last year. But Gruden
sees positive signs.
"There's gotta be some trust there," he said. "I know Robert already, and I have a solid enough relationship there
where he knows I'm not gonna call him out, and I know he's not gonna call me out. Whatever happens, I know
we're on the same page, with the same goals in mind, and that's to win as many games as possible. And that's all

that matters, the goals we have. As long as he's working every day, buying into the system, then everything is
gonna go smoothly."
Which is to say, so far, so good.
Griffin, mother work to give back
By Michael Phillips
Richmond Times-Dispatch
August 10, 2014
Robert Griffin III has given thousands of autographs during his time at training camp, but he collected some of
his own over the weekend.
On Sunday, Griffin met with 18-year-old Jamia Johnson, whose visit was coordinated by the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. Saturday, it was a pair of young cancer survivors, Vincent Silver Jr. and Evan Washo.
Griffin had the boys sign his cleats, and Johnson signed his jersey.
“In these situations, they think they’re the ones being blessed, but it’s really them blessing us,” Griffin said.
“It’s great to be able to have an impact like that.”
Griffin’s desire to give back comes in part from his mom, Jackie.
She has been a constant presence at training camp, often sitting alongside her mother, Richmonder Juley Allen.
That’s nothing new. Jackie Griffin has attended her son’s practices since middle school, when she sat in the
bleachers and filmed the workouts so Robert’s dad, Robert Griffin Sr., could watch them later.
On Sunday, she said she’s always tried to instill the importance of being part of the community.
“When they grow up, it’s all about giving back,” she said. “God opens the doors to do great things.”
Jackie is doing that in her own way, as well. She’s launched her own radio show, which broadcasts in
Washington on Wednesday afternoons.
“We want to inform, inspire and empower people to go after their dreams,” she said. “We have people who are
successful in different fields come tell the steps it took for them to get there.”
Robert Griffin III said having his mom and dad’s presence at practice provides additional inspiration.
“Knowing they’re there give you a little extra sense of awareness,” the quarterback said. “I know my mom’s
over there praying. … The fact that she’s out here means a lot.”

Today will be the last day of training camp open to the public. The team will have a short walk-through
Tuesday morning that will be open to the camp’s volunteers, as a way to show appreciation to them.
Griffin has talked during camp about working with new coach Jay Gruden to build a foundation that will serve
the team well into the future.
He was asked Saturday about instilling a “culture change,” and referenced the arrival of coach Art Briles during
his time at Baylor.
“You have to know how to win,” he said. “You have to get guys that want to win. For us, it started in the weight
room, and here I think it trickles from the top down, from Dan (Snyder) to Bruce (Allen), from Bruce to Jay,
and Jay to us.
“I think we have the right people in place. I know we believe that. We have the right players in our locker room.
We want to be consistent winners, all the time. Not one year, not two years. We want five, 10, 15 years of
consistent winning. That’s what our goal is.”
Those goals are long-term, but right now Gruden is focused on getting his team educated on the playbook
before leaving camp.
The coach spent time with Griffin on Sunday afternoon as he played with Johnson, as did several other players.
Griffin was the star, though, and he said he’ll sport his new autographs for the remainder of camp.
“When I was growing up, I always wanted to meet the guys I looked up to,” he said. “If I had met Michael
Jordan, and he had asked me for my autograph, I think it would have been a shock. So it’s kind of flipping the
script on them a little bit. I think it means something to them, and if I’m their first autograph, that’s an honor for
me.”
CB DeAngelo Hall
DeAngelo Hall aims to lead a Washington Redskins defensive rebound
By Mike Jones
The Washington Post
July 25, 2014
RICHMOND — With 10 seasons under his belt, DeAngelo Hall knows he’s closer to the end of his career than
the start. But he fully believes he still ranks among the best cornerbacks in the NFL. He also believes the
Redskins’ defense, a year after a woeful season, can become one of the league’s top units.
Earlier this week, Hall watched a television program that featured a debate about the top cornerbacks in the
NFL. His name was not mentioned. Miffed, he took to Twitter and declared he measures up against the top
players at his position.
As he kicked off the 11th training camp of his career Thursday, Hall laughed when asked about his tweets but
didn’t back down.
Feature Clips
2014
“As a corner, if you don’t feel like you’re the best, then you’ve got a problem,” said Hall, 30 . “I never said that
I was the best. I’d be a fool to think that 11 years in I’m the best in the game. But I do think I’ve been pretty
successful doing what I’ll do.”
In 10 seasons, Hall has racked up 564 tackles, 127 pass breakups and 43 interceptions — five returned for
touchdowns. He’s one of only five active defensive backs with 40-plus interceptions (behind Ed Reed, Charles
Woodson, Champ Bailey and Asante Samuel).
But Hall doesn’t generally command the same type of respect as those veterans or even as much as some of the
young stars at the position. Asked why, Hall thought for a second before answering.
“Maybe my reputation,” he said, referring to his image as a brash, hot-headed player in his younger years. “My
reputation kind of precedes me a little bit. But I don’t go out there trying to please the media or the guys that are
ranking corners. Probably early in my career, I did. But now I’m just, ‘The proof’s in the pudding.’ ”
More than anything, Hall said he wants to conclude his career — however many seasons that remain — as a
winner. Since joining the Redskins in 2008, Washington has reached the playoffs just once (in 2012). For his
career, Hall has played in only two other playoff games (both in 2004 while with Atlanta).
“Mentally, I’m just in a place where I know I don’t have a lot of football left, so I want to go out there, have as
much fun as possible, lay it all on the line and not leave anything in the tank, so when I do walk away from this
game, I feel good about it,” Hall said. “That’s just been my approach to these offseason practices and even last
year. I just want to have fun and help us win as many games as possible.”
Hall added, “The goal is not about my individual success. . . . I understand it’s not about me but about this team,
and I’m just trying to make everybody better.”
Hall’s approach comes as a welcome development for Coach Jay Gruden and his staff. Soon after accepting the
job, Gruden reached out to Hall — then a free agent — and stressed that the team wanted to re-sign him.
Gruden also told Hall he and defensive coordinator Jim Haslett wanted and needed Hall to help fill the
leadership void created by linebacker London Fletcher’s retirement.
Haslett was confident Hall could handle the role after seeing him display greater maturity last season. Gruden
accepted Haslett’s endorsement. Thus far, Hall has delivered.
“I did hear about DeAngelo Hall a little bit, some of the reputation, some of the things that happened, the
attitude that he has,” Gruden said. “But as a cornerback, you kind of want some of that attitude, that cockiness,
that confident air about you as long as it doesn’t affect your play. He’s proven the last few years that it doesn’t
affect his play, and I think he’s calmed down a little bit. He knows what being a pro is all about.”
He added, “We’re happy with his leadership role and his accountability right now.”
That doesn’t mean Hall feels he has nothing to prove. He does and says the entire Redskins defense does as
well. He says his defensive teammates want to maintain that mentality as they try to rebound from a 3-13
season.

“Absolutely, there is a chip on our shoulder,” Hall said. “Seeing Seattle go out there and have a dominant
defense, going into this offseason, they’re what everybody is talking about. Everybody wants that kind of
attention and that kind of love. So we all have got a chip on our shoulder — not just the secondary. We all want
to be great.”
WR DeSean Jackson
DeSean Jackson needed a job; the Redskins needed to take a chance
By Jason Reid
The Washington Post
May 29, 2014
Wide receiver DeSean Jackson is a great fit with the Washington Redskins. With the big-play wideout at the top
of their depth chart, the Redskins could have one of the NFL’s best receiving corps. Jackson and the Redskins
just have to make it work, which often hasn’t been the case when the Redskins acquire high-profile veterans.
It’ll be Jackson’s responsibility to break the negative trend. For the Redskins to get their money’s worth from
Jackson — whom they guaranteed $16 million — he’ll have to do something he didn’t do enough with the
division rival Philadelphia Eagles last season: be professional. No more blowing off team meetings and arguing
with coaches. Jackson must be all in on making the most of his second chance. It’s early, but he’s acting as if he
gets it.
Jackson, who suffered a minor hamstring injury Thursday, has been engaged and cooperative during offseason
practice at Redskins Park.
“I’m a new, unfamiliar face here,” Jackson said. “Just rubbing elbows with the guys and putting in the work. . . .
Getting in where I fit in.”
New Redskins Coach Jay Gruden hasn’t witnessed the type of I’m-the-center-of-the-universe nonsense that
prompted Eagles Coach Chip Kelly to cut Jackson surprisingly in late March.
“The players have embraced him. The coaches have embraced,” Gruden said. “As long as he comes to practice,
with the right head on his shoulders and [is] willing to work, which he has so far, [Jackson’s past issues will]
never be an issue” with the Redskins.
Jackson, Redskins players are eager to tell you, has been a model teammate.
“We’ve gotten to know him,” quarterback Robert Griffin III said. “We’re happy with what we know.”
Jackson is bright and immensely talented. He’s capable of being one of the league’s most productive deep
threats, which he was last fall while totaling 82 catches, 1,332 yards (a 16.2-yard average) and nine
touchdowns. And he’s just 27.
None of that mattered to Kelly. The Eagles’ top football official, reportedly, was tired of butting heads with
Jackson about, well, pick a topic. Jackson’s in-game shouting match with his position coach on the sideline last
Feature Clips
2014
season hastened his departure from the organization that drafted him. The fact that Jackson’s former teammates
didn’t rush to support him publicly lends credibility to Kelly’s move.
On social media, some Redskins fans expressed opposition to the team signing Jackson. They cited the team’s
long list of free-agent failures — is Albert Haynesworth still drawing a paycheck? — in arguing management
should pass on Jackson. Even my friend and colleague Mike Wise, who isn’t usually in lockstep with Redskins
fans, wrote a column about Jackson potentially ruining the locker room.
Last fall, the Redskins went 3-13, finishing last in the NFC East division for the fifth time in six seasons.
Former coach Mike Shanahan was at war with Griffin. The organization had more leaks than an old roof. This
franchise was a mess long before Jackson arrived.
Without taking some risks, the Redskins will remain stuck in reverse. And if you have to take a chance, it might
as well be on a player who covers the 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds.
Jackson understands he has “a job to do, which is to go out there and produce,” he said. “And doing what I need
to do as a professional . . . that’s what matters the most.”
The Redskins have lacked a game-changer at wideout since Santana Moss, who turns 35 in June, was young.
With Jackson and fellow newcomer Andre Roberts on the field, Pierre Garcon should have more room to
maneuver. But it all starts with Jackson. His ability to get open down the field could do wonders for Griffin.
“He’s just a talent, man,” Moss said of Jackson, a 2009 first-team all-pro selection as a punt returner. “When
you look at what he can do . . . he’s one of these guys who’s just gifted.
“So many years, I played here, and we didn’t have no one else [at the outside receiver position]. Now, we have
Pierre; we have Dre [Roberts]. It’s just fun to be around these guys.”
Moss is a leader in the locker room. He’s also a hard worker who puts his teammates first. In Philadelphia,
Jackson was considered a “me” guy. Jackson no longer plays for the Eagles, Moss reminded reporters
Thursday, and his slate is clean with the Redskins.
“There’s always two sides to every story,” Moss said. “To tell you the truth, I don’t want to hear about the
story, about what went on. He’s here now. As long as he act right, do what he have to do here . . . that’s all we
have to worry about.”
After his previous employer gave Jackson the boot, the Redskins gave him a job. They’re counting on him to
prove he deserves it.
DeSean Jackson won't sever roots
Despite rumors of gang ties, star wide receiver refuses to ignore his past
By Cord Jefferson

2014
DeSEAN JACKSON HAS an interesting linguistic tic that surfaces whenever he talks about things of the
"illegal" or "unsavory" or "criminal" variety. After parking his lengthy two-tone Rolls-Royce outside an East
Hollywood café one day in late May, Jackson ambles in and begins speaking about his relationships with
"certain people" who do "certain things." People presumably involved in potentially illegal or dangerous
activity are "certain people." Things that may be done outside the parameters of the law are "certain things."
Combined with his habit of speaking softly, as if to avoid the prying of eavesdroppers, this intentionally vague
use of "certain" makes clear that Jackson, 27, is a man working hard to avoid giving ammunition to those who
would seek to destroy him with his own words.
Sitting down next to me, wearing a cotton T-shirt, sweatpants and a flat-brim, he crosses his arms, which boast
a considerable assortment of black-ink tattoos. Most of the images and words are difficult to make out, but two
things are clear: First, running almost the entirety of Jackson's right forearm is the Hollywood sign, an
immediate reminder that, despite his many football-related travels, Los Angeles will always be Jackson's home.
Second, across the backs of both hands, in delicate and loopy cursive, is a two-part mantra you can read when
Jackson brings his fists together at the knuckles: "No Struggle, No Progress."
It's maybe not the most unique sentiment for someone in high-level sports, in which sweat and hustle through
hardship are professional obligations. But Jackson is more familiar with struggle than most. Earlier this year,
after coming off the most successful season of his professional career, with 82 catches for 1,332 yards and nine
touchdowns, Jackson was cut from the Eagles, his first and only NFL team since joining the league in 2008.
Though he signed a $24 million deal with Washington just six days later, the shock waves from his release
lingered, exacerbated by the maelstrom of confusing and contrasting rumors that Jackson was cut because he
had gang ties.
Attempting to find the true story behind the speculation reveals the primary tension at the heart of the turmoil, a
tension that has implications for how the league will do business in the coming years: Jackson likes to believe
his life began the day he was born, while some people would rather he pretend it began the day he joined the
NFL.
IF YOU TALK to those in DeSean's inner circle, backroom rumors of gang connections plagued Jackson even
before he joined the Eagles. His mother, Gayle, says the family has long suspected that anxiety about such
gossip -- along with concerns about a "difficult" (read: overbearing) family -- is what caused DeSean to fall to
the second round in 2008 after mock drafts had him going in the first. "Definitely," Gayle says, "his associations
and affiliations were always a subject of fear."
To understand the origins of those associations, one needs to go back a few decades, to Pittsburgh, where
DeSean's father, Bill Jackson, was raised. Growing up, Bill was always desperate to play sports, but he was
forbidden by his own dad, who valued labor over athletics. "He was a huge fan of baseball and track and stuff
like that," says DeSean, "but he was never able to play, because his dad was making him work at the steel mill."
After Bill's father died in 1979, Bill and Gayle moved to Southern California to start over. When Bill's eldest
son, Byron, graduated from high school in 1986, Bill moved him from the Washington, D.C., area, where he'd
been living with his mother (Bill's first wife), to LA so he could play football year-round. Byron, who had
displayed some athletic talent but was never a star football player, says his dad was "determined" to see him
play in the NFL, so much so that Bill used to close his letters to Byron during his high school years with "Think
NFL!!!" DeSean was born in December of that year.

2014
With hard work and a lot of pushing from Bill, Byron eventually became a wide receiver at San Jose State.
After college, he got picked up for the Chiefs' practice squad, but he washed out after two seasons. He tried his
hand at the Canadian Football League and the World League of American Football (NFL Europa), but his heart
wasn't in it anymore. "I was more doing it for my dad than anything else," says Byron, now 46 and an editor at
Fox Sports.
When Byron finally broke it to his father that he was abandoning his attempts to play professional football in
1994, Bill grew angry and began throwing Byron's clothes onto the street. According to a documentary Byron
made about DeSean, the two began to scuffle, and the argument got so out of hand that Bill wound up pointing
a handgun in his son's face. Byron left the house, telling Bill he never wanted to see him again.
From then on, Bill began focusing all his efforts on DeSean. Since he was 5 years old, 4-foot-nothing and 40
pounds, DeSean had been a sight to behold: thin enough that it looked like his pads might slip right off but
faster than everyone else on the field. When he threw his head back on a run, as if the force of the wind were
too much to bear, that's when you knew he was gone.
Even today, you'd be forgiven for not immediately presuming Jackson is a football star. He's all muscle but also
lean, at 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds. At lunch at the East Hollywood café, he only nibbles at his chicken sandwich
and potato chips, supplementing them with a few bites of a friend's breakfast burrito. He's quick to tell people
size doesn't matter. "I was always the smallest," he says, "but I've always been one of the fastest and the best."
It was DeSean's talent that brought Byron and Bill Jackson back together after two years of not speaking. "I
knew he was going to push my little brother the same way he pushed me," says Byron. "DeSean had a passion
for football at an early age. I knew I had to come back to help my dad lead DeSean."
When DeSean was 8, Byron tapped a network of friends to comprise DeSean's personal training camp, which
they eventually began calling Team Jackson. But even with a team of adults guiding him, the path was tough.
Jackson says his parents' jobs -- Bill was a bus driver, Gayle was an assistant at a record label -- "just barely put
food on the dinner table." His mom and dad split when he was 7, and his mother relocated to Atlanta. Though
DeSean went to live with her briefly during her first year in Georgia, Gayle ultimately agreed to let him move
back with his father; she thought it was important for him to have the "male mentorship" Bill and Team Jackson
provided.
By then, Bill was living in South Central, a neighborhood that became synonymous with gangs and violence in
the 1980s and '90s. DeSean says he was only 12 when he saw another boy get gunned down in a drive-by. Bill
decided to enroll his son at Long Beach Polytechnic High, the best football school in Southern California. The
commute was an hour each way and involved a walk through various gang territories, a bus ride and then a train
ride through rough neighborhoods to downtown Long Beach. "On a daily basis I witnessed a lot of violence, a
lot of drug abuse," Jackson says.
To protect his son, Bill would often wait outside the train station for DeSean in the evenings. "His dad was like
white on rice with that boy," Gayle says. "Buddy, you had best believe when it was time to get off that train his
dad was right there."
It's easy to read about Jackson's upbringing and make assumptions about his involvement in a gang. But
according to Jackson and those closest to him, life in the neighborhood was more complex than many care to
understand.

2014
"When I was young, I hung out with and knew certain people who were involved in certain things," says
Jackson at the lunch table, that tic rising to the surface again. "But at the same time, they knew I played sports,
so they supported me in playing sports."
"It's the same story with most kids growing up in the inner city," Byron says. "There's that one kid who's
athletic as heck and everybody sees he's destined to be great. So the guys involved in mischievous things want
to stay cool with him, but at the same time they don't want to derail him."
In Jackson's interactions with "certain people" who did "certain things" during his childhood, there was an
unwritten agreement: DeSean was going places, and so he had their blessing to avoid the paths they'd chosen. In
return, he would not look down on them or turn his back on them. In fact, if you ask Gayle Jackson, she'll tell
you DeSean's loyalty is one of his most frustrating qualities.
"Those guys gravitated toward him because he had structure in his life," she says. "A lot of time I was trying to
chase these cats away. I told him it would catch up with him and that people don't understand, so he should
leave those guys alone. He told me, 'Mom, you can't treat people like that.'"
HERE IS WHAT DeSean Jackson will say about the gang rumors: Does he know people in gangs? Yes. Does
he associate with "certain people" from time to time? Yes. Is he in a gang himself? No, nor has he ever been.
The "troubling associations" described in an NJ.com article on March 28, the day Jackson was released,
centered largely on his relationship with Theron Shakir, a rapper signed to Jackson's Jaccpot Records music
label. (Jackson raps as a hobby.) In 2010, Shakir and a man named Marques Binns were arrested and charged
with a gang-related homicide. Shakir was acquitted of the crime in 2013, and Binns, who was convicted and is
now serving 15 years to life, told NJ.com that he does not know DeSean Jackson.
The site also pointed to a 2012 incident in which someone was shot and killed after a party at a South LA
building leased by a member of Jackson's family. Jackson was nowhere near the building at the time of the
shooting, but a search of the premises turned up some receipts, a gun permit and other documents belonging to
him -- hardly incriminating evidence of his involvement. (Eagles coach Chip Kelly told reporters Jackson was
cut only for football reasons.)
The other thing that's bound to arise in any discussion of Jackson's background is that he throws up gang signs
in pictures on social media, in his rap videos and during games. "Those were neighborhood Crip gang signs," an
LA police detective told NJ.com, referencing some hand movements he'd seen Jackson make once in a game
against the Redskins. While Jackson won't call them gang signs, he will admit to throwing up "hand gestures" in
a display of that stubborn loyalty his mother describes. "If I score a touchdown or make a play and my boys at
home can see me throwing up the area we're from, that's me showing them love," he says. "They weren't
fortunate enough to make it where I'm at. All my friends wanted to be in the NFL growing up, but they weren't
able to do that and I was. That doesn't mean I forgot about them. They're my boys, I grew up with them, and I'm
going to give them love."
He's been dogged by other "maturity questions" -- reports of missed meetings, his occasional trolling of LeBron
James on social media and a grievance filed by agent Drew Rosenhaus alleging Jackson failed to repay
$400,000 in loans. (Jackson alleges the payments were illegal bribes.) But if everyone agrees that he never
broke any laws or NFL regulations, then the overriding concern surrounding Jackson boils down to some
people's discomfort with his ongoing connections to his roots. Rather than taking Instagram photos with the
likes of Theron Shakir, the thinking seems to go, Jackson should be distancing himself from his past, not
broadcasting it. Never mind that Shakir was acquitted of any wrongdoing. Never mind that this thinking
Feature Clips
2014
requires Jackson to behave as if the first 18 years of his life were void of real relationships and authentic
experiences. Long-standing connections, normal and healthy for everyone else, are "troubling" when it comes to
Jackson.
IT DOESN'T HELP Jackson's case that since June of last year, prosecutors have handed down two separate
murder indictments against former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who is rumored to be affiliated with the
Bloods. But according to Harry Edwards, a professor emeritus of sociology at UC Berkeley who also serves as a
consultant for the 49ers, the NFL's gang worries are just beginning.
To explain why, Edwards points to a shift in player demographics -- two-thirds of current NFL players are
black, compared with 12 percent in 1959. He thinks that shift is only going to escalate, in part because of the
epidemic of brain injuries that already has wealthier white families shuffling their sons away from the sport's
risks. An HBO Real Sports/Marist poll from October of last year showed that 66 percent of Americans with a
household income of $50,000 or more had heard a great deal or a good amount about football head injuries,
compared with just 47 percent earning less. The same poll showed that 20 percent of nonwhites had heard
nothing about football-related concussions, compared with 12 percent of whites. "In a decade, the only people
who are still playing football will be African-Americans and working-class people," says Edwards.
Edwards predicts that as the talent pool skews even more black and working class, the "baggage" that comes
with these players will only become more prevalent. So, he says, the NFL needs to find ways to better
understand players' struggles to balance career and background. "What the Eagles were dealing with in terms of
trying to come to grips with DeSean is what the whole league should be preparing for," he says. "Because that's
who's going to be playing football. To think you're not going to find anybody in football with baggage is
preposterous."
Today, Gayle Jackson says that what she finds most hurtful about the rumors hanging over her son is that they
insult the memory of Bill Jackson, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2009. "Now, you're talking about a father
who went to his grave making sure he was keeping this kid out of trouble," she says.
At lunch, when Jackson's train of thought brings him back to memories of his dad, he opens up a bit, his voice
reflecting an admiration and respect the way a proud soldier's might when talking about his time in the military.
He says that after his father died, it was those "certain" people from his childhood who helped him navigate his
grief. "As far as having certain people around me," he says, "people who in the middle of that whole time
helped me get past that and get to where I'm at. Once I get here, I'm supposed to forget that they helped me?"
He shakes his head. "That doesn't make sense. I'm a firm believer that when someone helps you get to where
you're at, you show your appreciation."
Jackson says the best lesson he has learned over the past few months is that "your private time is your private
time, and you don't always have to show people what you're doing" on Instagram and the like. Otherwise, he's
going to stick to the formula that's been working for him for years, ever since Team Jackson came together like
Voltron to build him into the man he is today, ever since Bill Jackson looked at a 5-year-old no heavier than a
sack of flour and told him he was going to be an NFL star.
When I ask Jackson if he feels pressure to prove himself in Washington this year, a burden to silence his
doubters -- from those who say he's too small to those who say he's a diva to those who say he's a gangaffiliated liability -- he smiles. "I don't feel no pressure, man," he says. "I been feeling pressure since I was a
little kid, since I was walking down the street in Crenshaw, Calif. The pressure on this side is a little better."

RB Alfred Morris
Alfred Morris hopes to continue to get carries under new coach Jay Gruden
By Jason Reid
The Washington Post
June 26, 2014
RICHMOND — Not everything on the Washington Redskins was broken. New Coach Jay Gruden inherited a
rushing offense in good condition and kept it. Having running back Alfred Morris on the roster made the
decision easy.
After thriving in Washington’s highly successful zone-read system, Morris is confident entering his third
season. Being comfortable in his role helps.
For the past four seasons, the stretch-zone play has been a staple. On stretch plays, offensive linemen block an
area rather than a specific player. They move toward the sideline in an effort to create running lanes for backs,
who either run outside or cut back based on the defense. Morris often made the right call.
In NFL history, only eight players rushed for more yards in their first two seasons than the 2,888 Morris
produced. He also scored 20 touchdowns and had an efficient 4.7-yard average. Gruden noticed.
Driven by ego, many first-time head coaches would have scrapped what former coach Mike Shanahan created.
But Gruden isn’t committed to only one way of doing things. Do you know what you call that? A strength.
Offensive coordinator Sean McVay, a holdover from the previous regime, wasn’t surprised.
“That’s what makes Jay a great coach,” McVay said. “He’s going to adjust. He’s going to fit his scheme, really
tailor it, to fit his players’ abilities. Running the football is one of the things we’ve been able to do a nice job of.
In that scheme, Alfred is as good as you can ask for.”
An outstanding cut-back runner, Morris is ideally suited for stretch plays. He follows blockers well, surveys the
defense quickly and runs decisively.
At a time when the running game has been de-emphasized in the pass-heavy league, the Redskins have
continued to rely on theirs. They topped the NFL in rushing in 2012 and finished fifth last season. It’ll be
interesting to see how the Redskins roll under Gruden.
During Gruden’s three seasons directing the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense, some team observers were critical of
him for passing too much. Gruden will be the Redskins’ play-caller.
Morris has heard speculation about Gruden’s plans. Perhaps he won’t be as important in the offense this season.
Wisely, Morris is taking a wait-and-see approach.
Feature Clips
2014
“Yeah, a lot of people have been making comments about coach passing a lot,” Morris said. “But from what
we’re doing in practice, it seems like there’s no difference.
“I’m not worried about it. If my carries do go down that’s fine. I’ll just have to make the most of the carries I do
get. . . . I can adjust quickly. I’m pretty easy going.”
He’s also all grown up. Morris already has experienced the extremes of professional sports. In his rookie
season, Washington won the NFC East. A season ago, the Redskins were a 3-13 mess.
To his credit, Morris stayed out of the drama. He showed almost as much skill at sidestepping off-the-field
issues as he did eluding would-be tacklers.
Early in training camp this year, Morris has emerged as a team leader. Between plays, younger backs have
sought his counsel about everything from how to take the proper angles on zone-read plays to the proper way to
pass protect. Fullback Darrel Young enjoys observing the interaction.
“He’s doing for those guys what older guys did for us,” Young said. “Listening to him speak, answering
questions from you guys [journalists], it really is so different now.”
Here’s what hasn’t changed: Morris’s commitment to his teammates. Despite rushing for almost 1,300 yards
last season, Morris was disappointed he wasn’t as productive as in his rookie year, when he set a franchise
record with more than 1,600 yards.
Morris isn’t focused on individual accomplishments. By having a better season, Morris figures, he could have
helped the Redskins more. Morris means what he says, Young said.
“When you’ve got a guy who rushes for that many yards and makes the Pro Bowl, and his whole mind-set is
that he let the team down, it tells you a lot,” Young said. “You know he’s going to do everything he can to be
great.”
Morris is working on it. He hasn’t been a threat in the passing game — the former sixth-round pick has 20
career receptions — but he wants that to change. Gruden and McVay will give him opportunities throughout
training camp and the preseason, “and he’s already catching the ball better,” McVay said. “That’s something
that he’s going to continue to work on.
“He’s as conscientious a player as I’ve been around. And any player in this league can look at himself critically
and ask, ‘What can I do better?’ He’s that type of guy.”
They say that sometimes the best moves are the ones you don’t make. For the Redskins, that applies to keeping
their running game intact.
WR Santana Moss
Santana Moss has become a teacher, adviser and locker room leader for Redskins
By Jason Reid

August 11, 2014
RICHMOND — An adorable little girl wearing a pink Washington Redskins jersey and pigtails thought she
missed her chance to meet wide receiver Santana Moss, who signed every football, jersey and miniature helmet
put in front of him after practice here the other day. Headed to the locker room, Moss noticed the frowning child
and doubled back, giving her his autograph and a hug. His thoughtfulness wasn’t surprising.
Entering his 14th season, Moss, the Redskins’ longest-tenured player, continues to set a positive example.
Although his statistics have declined along with his role in the offense, Moss still occupies an important
position on the team. He’s a tell-it-like-it-is leader who believes that with success comes responsibility. When
he finishes his work each day, Moss proves it.
While many players often ignore fans’ pleas to sign items and pose for pictures, Moss spends significant time
working the rope line. It’s not uncommon for Moss to accommodate late-arriving spectators. Fans, Moss said,
have helped him provide a great life for his family. He owes them — and never forgets it.
“They’re out here, watching us, supporting us,” Moss said. “They’re doing that, so I can take a little bit of time
out. You know what I’m saying?”
Absolutely. Moss sees the big picture. It became clear to him early during a productive career that eventually
will end with Moss ranking high on the franchise’s all-time receiving lists. Long ago, Moss developed a simple
approach to playing in the NFL, “and it’s really about just staying true to myself.”
“I know ‘Father Time’ is going to catch up to all of us,” he said. “Depending on how it catches up to you, you
have to determine what you still can do. As long as I can be an example — show the guys how to work, show
the guys how to make plays and how to be [professional] — then I feel like I’m doing my job.”
Even late in the game, Moss continues to get the job done. Formerly Washington’s longtime No. 1 wideout,
Moss, 35, no longer possesses the speed that helped him set a franchise record with 1,483 receiving yards in
2005. Younger players have passed him on the depth chart. And after three consecutive seasons in which his
yardage totals have decreased, Moss figures to only have a bit part under new Coach Jay Gruden.
Coaches want Moss on the roster, though, because they have learned to rely on him. In countless situations over
the years, Moss has proven his dependability.
“He’s a consummate pro and a great leader” in the locker room, offensive coordinator Sean McVay said. “With
all the experience he has, a whole lot of guys look up to him. I mean, what a great job he has done over the
course of his career. It’s a credit to him, being a No. 1-type player, to be able to transition to [a reduced role].
“But he has been able to do it, and do a great job with whatever we’ve asked him to do, because he’s so smart.
What a smart player he is … being able to play all three receiver spots for us. He understands exactly what
we’re trying to get done. He understands situational football. He’s an asset.”
He’s also a great teacher. Inexperienced wideouts regularly seek Moss’s counsel. Some ask him to critique their
route running. Others pepper Moss with questions about how to attack the defense. No matter how much time
they need, Moss carves out enough.
Feature Clips
2014
President and General Manager Bruce Allen enjoys watching Moss work with up-and-comers. “He’s handled
himself, his entire career, the same way,” Allen said. “He has become just a great role model for the younger
receivers.”
Not only receivers. You don’t have to be in Moss’s position group to benefit from his wisdom. When Moss
talks — which is often — about how to prosper in the NFL, most in the locker room listen.
“He’s my favorite player,” fullback Darrel Young said. “For a guy who’s in Year 14, to still be out here
outrunning guys, taking care of his body, not missing any days of camp and not wanting a day off … he’s
special.
“That’s why he has been playing for as long as he has. He understands the game and what you have to do to
stay in this game. I love him as a person. He’s a good dude. But he also takes people under his wing. He helps
people make it. It’s not about being selfish. He shows that.”
When the Redskins talk about Moss, you get the sense he’s well suited to coach someday. Moss does, too.
“When the time comes when I can’t do my job,” he said, “then I’ll be on the side with those guys [receivers]
probably helping them as a coach.”
But that’s down the road. Moss can still play. Just ask his teammates, coaches or the fans along the rope line.
LB Trent Murphy
Gritty Trent Murphy aims to carve out a role among Redskins’ outside linebackers
By Liz Clarke
The Washington Post
July 28, 2014
RICHMOND — Five days into Washington Redskins training camp, here’s what coaches and teammates find
so impressive about Trent Murphy, the team’s 6-foot-5, 258-pound rookie outside linebacker:
• He reports to practice early.
• He has the playbook nearly committed to memory.
• He’s quick for a big man, and a quick study on matters of technique.
• He’s versatile enough to be used multiple ways, blessed with smarts, nimble feet and a long reach.
And should he be called upon, Murphy can also rope a steer, heave a hot-water heater and flip a tractor tire.
“He’s a true, football-playing grinding machine,” Redskins Coach Jay Gruden said of the team’s top draft pick
as camp got underway.
On Monday, Murphy flashed his promise in a drill with the first-team defense, plowing past right guard Chris
Chester for what would have been a surefire sack of quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Feature Clips
2014
That’s not to say that Murphy, whose 15 sacks led the NCAA last year, emerged from Stanford a finished
product. Earlier in camp he lost containment on one play that cost the defense a 70-yard touchdown.
But by all accounts, he’s the sort of player who won’t repeat the same mistake twice. He’s as hard on himself as
any coach.
“I’m amazed at how quickly he has grasped the playbook,” fourth-year linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. “The
coaches have really put a good amount on him as a rookie, and he has handled it so smoothly.”
The Redskins have invested plenty in their linebacking corps in recent years, expending first-round picks on
Brian Orakpo in 2009 and Kerrigan in 2011, but they haven’t gotten tremendous payback.
The pass rush was a particular weakness last season. It wasn’t so much for lack of talent on the part of Orakpo
and Kerrigan, who boast three Pro Bowls between them, as it was a lack of depth.
The selection of Murphy in the second round of the draft (47th overall) — along with the signing of defensive
end Jason Hatcher, who had 11 sacks for Dallas last season but has yet to see action in camp after undergoing
knee surgery in June — represents an effort to remedy that.
With the Redskins ranked 20th against the pass last season, Murphy won’t have the luxury of a lengthy
apprenticeship. Coaches want to throw him into the mix quickly, sometimes lining him up alongside Kerrigan
and Orakpo, other times spelling them.
“We’re all going to kind of flip around,” said Kerrigan, who worked at right outside linebacker Monday after
taking snaps the previous days on the left side. “We want to be more versatile this year and have more options.”
Murphy should give defensive coordinator Jim Haslett one more piece to add to that jigsaw puzzle, as well as a
sorely needed insurance policy should Kerrigan or Orakpo, who’s playing under a one-year contract with the
franchise tag, get injured.
One of six children, Murphy, who could pass for an outsize younger brother of NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Jr.,
was reared in Mesa, Ariz., where hard, physical labor often doubles as fun. He counts wrestling steer among his
hobbies and lettered in basketball, track and football in high school.
At Stanford, he excelled in the 3-4 defense and in his junior year also threw the discus for the Cardinal track and
field team.
Rather than enter the 2013 NFL draft after his senior year, Murphy returned to Stanford for a fifth year of
eligibility and was named captain of the squad that won the Pacific-12 championship.
He prepared for the Redskins preseason by joining his father, who runs a plumbing company, and brother in a
workout regimen they invented called “The Big Man’s Relay.” It starts with a “farmer’s walk,” in which you
carry two water heaters as if toting two giant suitcases, proceeds to sledge-hammering and flipping a giant tire,
and closes with a water heater toss.
“They can make something out of nothing,” Murphy said with a laugh. “It’s pretty impressive what they do
back there.”

2014
Monday at Redskins training camp, outside linebackers coach Brian Baker was seeking more refined technique
as he ran his charges — Orakpo, Kerrigan, sixth-year veteran Rob Jackson, Adrian Robinson, Gabe Miller and
Murphy — through pass-rushing drills.
A former linebacker at Maryland, Baker, 52, represents a significant part of Haslett’s effort to upgrade the
linebacking corps. He was hired in January to coach the team’s outside linebackers, while Kirk Olivadotti was
named to coach the inside linebackers.
And since camp opened, Baker, who’s credited with developing such Pro Bowlers as Julius Peppers, Jay Ratliff
and Robert Porcher in previous NFL stints, has displayed a meticulous eye for detail.
“Eyes up! Eyes up all the time!” Baker barked as Orakpo, Kerrigan and the others took turns racing toward a
tackling dummy, knocking it down, then cutting toward a second dummy with an outstretched “arm” and taking
a furious swipe at an imaginary football.
“Speed and hips!” Baker yelled. “That’s how you get to the quarterback! That’s how you finish plays. That’s
how you get off blocks!”
Lean and fit, Baker held the dummy to make it more difficult and fixated on each player’s positioning, shouting
adjustments like a benevolent drill sergeant, more intent on building his players up than tearing them down.
“Trent, drop your hips!” Baker shouted, seeking to maximize the rookie’s leverage, and ordered a do-over.
“Much better! Much better!”
Murphy soaked it up like a sponge.
“Love Coach Baker,” Murphy said. “You can tell he wakes up every morning and he prays and then he starts
thinking about how he’s going to make us better. He brings it every day — to the meeting room, to the field.
He’s intense.”
Kerrigan shares the sentiment.
“He is very particular, and that’s what’s awesome,” Kerrigan said. “He sees little things as a rusher that I would
never see. He talks about when your hips are upfield, that’s where you’re going to go. But if your hips are
directed at the quarterback, that’s where you’re going. It sounds common sense. But to get your body to do that,
that’s a tough thing when you’ve got a 320-pound guy in your way.”
Camp may be just five days old, but Murphy says he can’t believe how much his football knowledge has
already grown.
“I’m just trying to get better every day and play faster,” he said. “I’m just trying to fit in wherever the coaches
will put me in.”

Redskins' Brian Orakpo hopes to make star turn in 2014
By Jim Corbett
USA Today
June 5, 2014
ASHBURN, Va. — Several Washington Redskins players seemed starstruck by Oscar-winning actor and
longtime 'Skins fan Matthew McConaughey's presence during Wednesday's organized team activities.
However outside linebacker Brian Orakpo, McConaughey's old buddy, wasn't among those who took turns
introducing themselves.
"I love Matt. We've been friends a while," Orakpo, the former University of Texas star, told USA TODAY
Sports. "He's a Longhorn. He's always been a fan of mine.
"It's ironic that I got drafted to his childhood team. So we've always had this bond."
Besides, Orakpo is focused on cementing his own A-list star power beyond any doubt. His 2014 challenge is
about justifying that $11.455 million franchise tag tender he signed this offseason. Now Orakpo is driven to
prove his worth to first-year coach Jay Gruden by delivering a performance worthy of a long-term extension.
"I need to be that guy," said Orakpo, who's heading into his sixth season. "This defense is built for us to go out
there and make plays. So I need to go out there and continue to make plays each and every time.
"You can talk about contract this and that. Throw all of that out the window. I'm signed for the 2014 season. ... I
need to go out there and make plays. I need to go out there and be a force."
Orakpo has managed 39½ career sacks despite several major injuries, including a pectoral tear that cost him
nearly all of the 2012 season. He longs to prove he's worthy of inclusion among the game's elite pass rushers.
Linebackers coach Brian Baker has Orakpo working on utilizing his hands more to shed blocks and set up his
speed-to-power pass-rush moves.
"I'm working on my hands and footwork coordination — it's brand new for me," Orakpo said. "It's teaching me
how to work my man. ... I love to be so versatile when I rush. I'm still keeping that same aggression, that same
speed off the edge with proper hand use — working half the man with proper hand placements on the offensive
tackle."
So is he feeling any heat?
"I'm not really a pressure guy. You can't really say I feel pressure coming into this season," Orakpo said. "I've
got a bad taste in my mouth from last year. And that's something I need to erase. ... These coaches expressed to
me that I'm that guy. I need to go out there to be that force that we all know I can be.
"There's no pressure on myself. Go out there, do my job, don't do more than I can. ... But at the same time, go
out there and make plays.
Feature Clips
2014
"We've got a lot of different calls. I can go out there and do my thing, do what I know I can and not worry about
making mistakes."
Orakpo trained in Austin with fellow ex-Longhorns linebacker Keenan Robinson, the 2012 fourth-round pick
slated to replace retired London Fletcher in Washington's lineup.
Like Orakpo entering last season, Robinson is coming off a torn pectoral muscle that sidelined him in 2013. But
so far, Robinson has impressed making the defensive calls from Fletcher's vacated "Mike" linebacker slot.
"I always knew Keenan was going to be great," Orakpo said. "He just needed to get healthy.
"He and I worked extremely hard this offseason. You look at his size (6-3, 238 pound), he can run, he can hit,
he can cover any tight end in this league. ... He's a player I feel like is going to have a breakout season.
"It's hard to replace a guy like London Fletcher. But we already had his replacement in house in Keenan
Robinson."
Now Orakpo hopes he and Robinson will be under the same roof for a while.
TE Jordan Reed
Redskins tight end Jordan Reed formed a bond with his coach Sean McVay
By Jason Reid
The Washington Post
July 25, 2014
RICHMOND — After hearing that Washington Redskins tight ends coach Sean McVay had been promoted to
offensive coordinator in January, tight end Jordan Reed called McVay to offer his congratulations and ask a
question. Reed and McVay grew close last season, and Reed wondered whether McVay would still have time
for him.
“Can you believe that?” asked McVay, who smiled and shook his head while recalling the conversation Friday
during a break from practice. “He actually thought I’d be too busy for him. You always make time for guys like
him.”
Especially if you’re an assistant coach who hopes to remain employed.
Coach Jay Gruden has big plans for the young tight end, whose combination of size, speed — he’s listed at 6
feet 2, 237 pounds and covers the 40-yard dash in 4.7 seconds — and route running make him a major matchup
problem for defenses. And with deep-threat wide receiver DeSean Jackson often expected to draw double
teams, Reed and others in the Redskins’ receiving corps should benefit from single coverage.
No one needs to tell Gruden how to best use Reed. However, if Gruden ever has a question about Reed, he can
call on McVay, who knows him better than anyone in the organization. The work they did together last fall
could help Reed blast off this year. From the start, they developed a model coach-player relationship.
Feature Clips
2014
“He’s obviously a great player, but I really enjoy him as a person, too,” McVay said. “He’s a great guy, so you
want to continue to be involved with him.”
Generally, head coaches are father figures, disciplinarians. Position coaches are supposed to be like big
brothers. The best skillfully walk the line of being a supervisor, teacher and friend. They’re the ones in whom
players usually confide.
During three-plus seasons coaching Redskins tight ends, McVay had a good rapport with all players who
reported to him. He took pride in working hard and being honest, figuring that’s the best way to lead. For that,
he earned the players’ respect.
A third-round selection from Florida in the 2013 draft, Reed quickly learned McVay had his back. Whatever he
needed — another question answered in the meeting room, extra work after practice or a quick tip on the
sideline during games — McVay delivered way before Reed ascended to the top of the depth chart.
Some assistants attempt to latch onto fast-risers, hoping to advance their careers, and ignore the players at the
bottom of the roster, but “Coach McVay always tries to help everybody,” Reed told me recently. “You know if
he says something, he means it.”
Reed peppered McVay with questions about every aspect of playing tight end in the NFL, his role in the
Redskins’ offense and what he could do to improve. Although Reed began the season as the third-string tight
end behind veterans Fred Davis and Logan Paulsen, coaches and players privately raved about the big plays he
made in closed practices.
It was only a matter of time, many said, before Reed supplanted Davis as the starter. Davis accelerated the
process by continuing to be a knucklehead — you can’t repeatedly fall asleep in meetings and then complain
about how you’re being used — and it became clear Reed was too good to remain on the sideline.
In preparation for Reed’s starting assignment, McVay came up with an idea he hoped would make the transition
as smooth as possible. At the team hotel the night before games, McVay and Reed reviewed the game plan. In
rooms used for team meetings, they would spend hours discussing routes, potential problems the defense could
present and counters to the defense.
Obviously, the sessions paid off. Reed emerged as an integral member of the passing game.
His breakout performance occurred in an Oct. 20 victory over the Chicago Bears, when he had nine catches for
134 yards — the highest totals ever for a Redskins rookie tight end — and scored a touchdown. In an
impressive first season cut short because of a concussion, Reed finished second on the team with 45 receptions
for 499 yards (an 11.1-yard average). He also had three touchdown receptions, tying him for second on the
team.
McVay has seen enough to express confidence Reed “is capable of being as good as he wants to be. It’s just a
matter of being able to take care of himself and stay healthy.”
Reed wasn’t as forthcoming as he should have been about the lingering effects of hits to his head. He says that
won’t happen again. McVay and new tight ends coach Wes Phillips, whose grandfather, Bum, and father,
Wade, were former NFL head coaches, will hold Reed to it.
Feature Clips
2014
McVay is respectful of Phillips’s relationships with the tight ends. Phillips needs time — and space — to get to
know the players he’s now responsible for guiding.
And McVay is busy helping Gruden build the new playbook and serving as the de facto quarterbacks coach.
McVay’s primary job is to help Gruden get Robert Griffin III back on track.
But if Reed needs something, McVay will find the time.
LB Keenan Robinson
Keenan Robinson, healthy again, is primed for signal-calling duties
By Liz Clarke
The Washington Post
July 27, 2014
RICHMOND — Four days into training camp, Redskins linebacker Keenan Robinson is still practicing full out.
And that represents a major step forward for the 6-foot-3, 238-pound former Texas standout who’s expected to
inherit the signal-calling duties handled so ably these last seven years by London Fletcher, who retired last
season.
It was on opening day of camp last season that Robinson, a speedy inside linebacker whom Washington drafted
with a fourth-round pick in 2012, injured his left pectoral muscle. The injury sidelined him for the season and
was particularly painful because he’d only recently recovered from an injured right pectoral that landed him on
injured reserve in Week 12 of his rookie season.
As he launches into his third season with the team, Robinson said he’s eager to establish his durability in the
eyes of Coach Jay Gruden, who’s ordering up more contact in the preseason that players were accustomed to
under Mike Shanahan.
“They know I can run,” Robinson said of Gruden and his defensive staff. “They know I can cover. The question
is, will I be able to tackle? Will I be able to take on blocks? Do the things that I was able to do before injury?”
To make his case, Robinson said he’s totally on board with the idea of putting on pads and tackling full speed
often during the preseason.
“You only get better at what you practice,” Robinson said. “And it’s going to help me prove to coaches I’m
back to normal, and I won’t have those issues in season.”
Robinson has been lining up in practice at the middle linebacker — or “mike” — position, alongside Perry
Riley. As such, he’ll figure in all running plays and make the defensive calls that Fletcher did for so many
years.
“I always think, not so much ‘What would London do?’ but what should we do in this situation on the field?
How would he react? How would he fill the run? Cover a pass? He showed me lot of things — veteran moves
that were very helpful. I can take some of those things and apply it to the game.”
Feature Clips
2014
Though he didn’t take a snap last season, Robinson said he did worked on becoming a better player by watching
as intently as he could.
“I learned just how to be a professional player, how to learn, mentally how to prepare. I couldn’t get the reps,
but I know the plays. As soon as we came back for [off-season workouts], I knew all the plays.”
Keenan Robinson could emerge from shadows as Redskins’ man in middle
By Brian McNally
June 4, 2014
Redskins linebacker Keenan Robinson became the forgotten man.
After his season ended one series into training camp last summer in Richmond, Robinson took no blame during
a disastrous year for Washington’s defense. He was a spectator, nothing more. But coaches believed Robinson
would return to make a difference. So, too, did his teammates. Now is his chance.
With the retirement of linebacker London Fletcher, the Redskins need a player on the inside to take over next to
the established Perry Riley, Jr. But torn pectoral muscles cut Robinson’s rookie season short and ended last
year’s before it began.
There is still some caution when discussing what Robinson can bring — the size at 6-foot-3, 238 pounds, and
the speed to stay with the NFL’s new breed of big, fast, physical tight ends who can run and catch and make life
miserable for linebackers in coverage. But that potential all goes to waste if Robinson isn’t on the field.
“In college I never got hurt. In high school I never got hurt,” Robinson said. “I never had to deal with injuries,
especially injuries that kept me out for, shoot, six games my first year; my second year, the whole season.
Coming back from it I learned to really appreciate the game.”
And so Robinson, drafted out of the University of Texas in the fourth round in 2012, worked with the starting
unit during Wednesday’s organized team activities practice. He knows defensive coordinator Jim Haslett’s
version of the 3-4 defense and has an advantage over free-agent linebackers like Darryl Sharpton and Akeem
Jordan who have starting experience with their previous teams and a track record to work with.
Robinson must hold off those players to earn a starting job. But through his recovery process, Haslett made sure
that Robinson maintained the faith of the coaching staff, even explaining how he’d be used once he returned to
full health. It took a while. Robinson says he’s there now.
“He’s a lot further ahead than we anticipated, stamina-wise, mentally,” Washington coach Jay Gruden said.
“He’s doing a great job. The linebacker position is hard to judge in shorts. But it is exciting to see him run
around. He’s a very fluid athlete.”
Robinson, 24, has a comfort level with fellow Texas Longhorn Brian Orakpo, an outside linebacker who knows
what it’s like to miss a season thanks to a torn pectoral muscle. That happened to him early in 2012 after he
played just two games. Orakpo and Robinson worked out together this spring in Austin.

It’s a difficult injury to forget because there are few warning signs the pectoral is about to tear and it’s a long
recovery process. Robinson tore his right pectoral that same 2012 season when Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason
Witten fell on him in a Nov. 22 win. There was little Robinson could do about that one. It is a contact sport,
after all.
It is the second tear that is a concern. Robinson simply put his hand in the dirt during the first series of drills in
Richmond last summer on the first day of training camp and the left pectoral gave out. This time an entire
season was lost. But potential remains.
“Keenan’s doing a phenomenal job. I always knew Keenan was going to be great,” Orakpo said. “You look at
his size, he can run, he can hit, he can cover any tight end in this league. And he’s a player that I feel like is
gonna have a breakout season and surprise a lot of guys.
“That’s why we didn’t really go after any big name inside backers to replace London. It’s hard to replace a guy
like London Fletcher, but we already had it in house in Keenan Robinson.”
Fletcher remains a confidant. He and Robinson spoke just last month and “staying persistent” was the mantra
from the old linebacker. It is a message that resonates with Robinson considering Fletcher played on teams that
won titles and made the playoffs and also on teams that were routinely terrible. He’s seen it all. And so while
Robinson is healthy now and working his way into a starting spot, he’s also not taking anything for granted.
“Right now, nothing’s set, the starters and all that. We have a long time before those decisions are made,”
Robinson said. “They won’t be made until training camp. I’m just filling in, trying to pick up where London left
off. I’m just trying to do my part and make sure there’s no letdown.”

‘Redshirt’ season behind him, Phillip Thomas ready to help Redskins’ secondary
By Zac Boyer
June 2, 2014
Left with little to do last season aside from receiving treatment on his injured left foot and learning his
responsibilities within the Washington Redskins‘ defense, Phillip Thomas took to considering his rookie year as
more of a redshirt year.
If anything, Thomas didn’t want all of that responsibility to fall on him when he was finally healthy.
“It just gave me time to learn the playbook, see what other people are doing right and trying to mimic them,
seeing what they’re doing wrong and making sure I keep it out of my game,” Thomas said. “That’s what
everybody tells me. It’s a feel-good thing to just say it was a redshirt year, because of course I don’t want to be
out, but it gave me time to mature and learn the defense.”
A fourth-round pick last April out of Fresno State, Thomas was penciled in as the Redskins‘ starting strong
safety when training camp opened, especially with Brandon Meriweather still recovering after tearing the ACL
in his right knee the previous season.

2014
At 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, Thomas led the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision with eight interceptions in
2012, his senior year, and was one of three players the Redskins drafted in an attempt to inject a ball-hawking
mentality into their defensive backfield.
Whatever potential Thomas showed during two weeks of training camp was never realized. In the Redskins‘
first preseason game on Aug. 8, Thomas missed a tackle while twisting his left foot into the turf, causing a
Lisfranc sprain — a tear of any number of ligaments that connect the metatarsals to the base of the foot.
It took nearly a week for Thomas to receive the diagnosis. When he did, he was given a 4-to-6-month window
for rehabilitation and recovery.
“It scared me,” Thomas said. “They said this Lisfranc injury could be a real serious one. Fortunately, through
God’s hands, He healed me and brought me back. I feel great. I feel like I was before, and now it’s just time to
keep progressing.”
Thomas, originally from Bakersfield, California, remained in Ashburn all offseason to continue receiving
treatment on his left foot. By early March, he was cleared to begin cutting at full speed — one of the last major
hurdles in his recovery.
He was fully cleared to participate during the start of the Redskins‘ offseason workouts in early April, and the
beginning of organized team activities last week gave him the mental confidence he needed to know he had
recovered.
At one point during team drills on Thursday, Thomas dived and snagged an off-target pass from Colt McCoy
for an interception, drawing applause from his teammates in the secondary and praise from Raheem Morris, the
Redskins‘ defensive backs coach.
“He’s just getting back in the flow,” coach Jay Gruden said afterward. “Raheem’s working with him and he’s
doing a good job. Between he and Meriweather, we expect good things from that safety spot.”
The Redskins‘ hodgepodge secondary has been one of their biggest issues for the past several seasons, and the
hope is that Thomas can help solidify that position, not just this year but for at least the next two.
After missing out on signing any of the marquee free-agent safeties this March, and knowing there wasn’t an
appealing candidate in the draft last month, the Redskins instead brought back Meriweather and Ryan Clark,
who spent the last eight seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers after two in Washington.
They also have Bacarri Rambo, who struggled to read offenses and make tackles during an up-and-down rookie
year, and Tanard Jackson, reinstated last month after missing two seasons because of a league suspension for a
failed drug test.
“Brandon and Ryan are veterans in this league,” Thomas said. “They’ve been doing it for a long time, and you
know, I can learn a lot from them still. It’s just going out there and competing and just putting everything I have
on that film and leaving it up to the coaches to make it a hard decision.”
To ensure he gets on the field this season, Thomas said he has been focusing on picking up responsibilities on
special teams as well.

And to make sure he stays on it, he’s done all he can to forget about the injury having ever taken place.
“You could tell I was thinking about it,” Thomas said, referring to his first few days back at practice. “You
could tell I was giving a little ground to it. But now, when it’s time to play football, I’ve got to put that all in the
back of my head and go out there and leave it all on the field.”

Trent Williams, athletic freak, stands out at Redskins training camp
By Jason Reid
The Washington Post
July 30, 2014
RICHMOND – Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams is such a gifted athlete, he once played center flawlessly on
short notice in college after never having previously worked at the position. But that was nothing, Williams said
after practice Wednesday.
If Williams lost about “50 pounds and practiced, I’d be a nice tight end, or maybe even an outside linebacker,”
he said. “Who knows?”
This much is certain: Coach Jay Gruden has no interest in Williams changing positions. The anchor of the
Redskins’ line, Williams, beginning his fifth season, has matured into the franchise cornerstone former head
coach Mike Shanahan envisioned he would become.
Williams’s rare combination of strength, quickness and agility has helped him develop into a two-time Pro
Bowler. And over the past few seasons, Williams has become a better student of the game. Film study is as
much a part of his preparation as weight training.
The people who depend on Williams are in good hands.
“Definitely a good feeling to know he’s over there,” quarterback Robert Griffin III said recently.
Said running back Alfred Morris, “I don’t know what more you could want [in an offensive lineman]. If there is
something, I’d like to know what it is.”
Around the NFL, Williams is what’s commonly known as a “freak.” The description is reserved for players who
uncommon physical tools.
“I am a great athlete,” said Williams, who embraces being in a lead role. “I feel like I play offensive tackle the
best.”
He does. But what about quarterback?
“I definitely could be” a quarterback, Williams said. “I do have a talented arm. Not to toot my own horn.”

2014
Of course, it would be difficult for Williams, listed at 6 feet 5, 337 pounds, to get under center. While protecting
Griffin’s “blind side,” Williams moves better than most at his position.
Not surprisingly, Williams has stood out during camp. Often, Gruden and offensive line coach Chris Foerster
have praised him. There’s a lot of good stuff to say.
Williams prefers to talk about the rest of his unit. The offensive line is coming along nicely, Williams said.
“It’s a great group,” he said. “We only added one new guy – left guard Shawn Lauvao – but Shawn is a vet. He
doesn’t have that learning curve that a lot of new guys have.
“The more we play together, the better off we’ll be. Obviously, we’ve got to get that cohesiveness down. … We
need a little time to build that chemistry. But we’re coming along.”
Williams is trying to bring the rookies along, too. He’s available to lend a helping hand whenever it’s needed.
Tackle Morgan Moses has already benefitted from Williams’s experience.
“He’s definitely progressing,” Williams said of Moses. “He works hard. He’s very diligent in the meetings. He
takes a lot of notes.”
Griffin being at full strength has helped the entire offense. Without the bulky knee brace, the 2012 NFL
offensive rookie of the year is moving well.
“He’s 100 percent. He has the confidence that he once had before the injury,” Williams said. “Everything just
happens a lot quicker. It’s a lot smoother. The team runs a lot better.”
Trent Williams – tight end, linebacker, even QB in tackle’s uniform
By Paul Woody
Richmond Times-Dispatch
Aug. 1, 2014
Pound for pound, inch for inch, step for step, he might be the best athlete on the Washington Redskins’ roster.
Teammates respect him. Opponents fear him. Quarterbacks are protected by him.
Ah, darn. Gave it away.
We’re not talking about Robert Griffin III, quarterback of the Washington Redskins.
Instead, we’re talking about the man who is assigned, and paid handsomely, to guard Griffin’s blind side —
Trent Williams, left tackle for the Redskins.
“He’s a giant of a man and has the feet of a ballerina,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.
That’s not in terms of shoe size, 13½ by the way. Gruden was talking about Williams’ agility.
Feature Clips
2014
Williams, 6-feet-5 and 337 pounds, has the speed of a running back, the leaping ability of a high jumper and,
the biggest surprise of all, the arm of a quarterback.
In walk-through practices each afternoon, Williams occasionally bides his time by firing laser-like passes to
receivers 20 or so yards down the field.
His arm is so strong, his throwing motion so smooth and his setup so quick that Williams should be a candidate
for emergency quarterback.
“I think I could be,” Williams said.
“Emergency quarterback?” Gruden said. “No.”
Ah, youth. Gruden is 47 and probably doesn’t remember when Redskins coach Joe Gibbs appointed offensive
guard Russ Grimm the emergency quarterback.
Grimm had been a quarterback in high school. And by Gibbs’ reasoning, who was going to knock him down?
Gruden made a quick save, though.
“We might use him to run the read option,” he said.
Good point. If Williams chose “run” as his option, who would knock him down?
“He defies a lot of laws of gravity and a lot of laws of physics being as big as he is and as athletic as he is,” said
Redskins outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan. “We kind of laugh when we watch film because you’ll see him
running alongside receivers and running backs.
“I remember a highlight last year in the Green Bay game. It was a little screen pass and he goes out and
pancakes a tackler, and then he’s running stride for stride with either (running back) Alfred (Morris) or (wide
receiver) Pierre (Garcon), and he gets another block down the field. It’s incredible.”
It was not by chance Williams was the Redskins’ first-round draft choice, the fourth player picked overall, in
the 2010 draft.
Williams has been a starter from the first day he arrived at Redskins Park. He’ll be a starter until he decides it’s
his last day at Redskins Park.
“I think he’s going to stick at that left tackle spot,” Gruden said. “That’s what he’s built for, that’s what he is
born to do, and he loves it.
“He could probably play tight end. He could probably play ‘three technique’ (defensive tackle) if he wanted to.
There’s not a lot he couldn’t do.”
While Williams has no plans to change positions, he is not oblivious to what he can do.
“I think I’m a great athlete, if you want my opinion,” Williams said. “If I lost 50 pounds, I think I could be a
nice tight end or maybe even an outside linebacker. Who knows?”

Williams’ teammates know he could play every position on the offensive line, probably any spot on the
defensive line and might even be able play and/or cover receivers.
“He’s got great hands,” said offensive guard Chris Chester. “He’d catch jump balls all day.”
At the 2010 NFL combine, Williams’ vertical jump measured 34½ inches. The first wide receiver taken in the
2014 draft, Sammy Watkins, fourth overall, had a vertical jump of 34 inches.
Hyperbole sometimes rules when players talk about a teammate. But the Redskins are sincere in their
admiration of Williams’ ability. They’ve seen too many instances of the big man doing things only much
smaller men even attempt, much less accomplish.
Oh, and he’s also a pretty good basketball player.
“Of course I can hoop it up,” Williams said. “I played in high school a little bit, and it’s still a big hobby of
mine.”
Williams’ footwork is a marvel to his teammates, coaches and opponents.
“He’s a 200-pound guy in a 330-pound body,” Kerrigan said. “He can do it all.
“I’m glad I don’t have to see him in a real game.”
