REDSKINS FACE FALCONS
IN 2016 PRESEASON OPENER
The Washington Redskins’ 2016 preseason gets underway on
Thursday, Aug. 11, when the team squares off with the Atlanta Falcons. Kickoff at the Georgia Dome is scheduled for 7 p.m.
This year’s training camp marks the Redskins’ third under the
guidance of Head Coach Jay Gruden, though it is the first in Gruden’s
tenure not to feature a cameo from another NFL team for joint practices. That absence has added extra importance to preseason play.
“We’re trying to get as many reps as we can out there for the
young guys and let them compete, but without having a team come
in here, it is a little bit more difficult,” Gruden said. “That’s why the
preseason games are going to be even more important for us to let
those guys go out there and play and perform. We’ll try and get a
good evaluation on them.”
The game marks the first preseason meeting between the Redskins and Falcons since a 27-0 Redskins victory in the 2004 preseason finale. The game will be the first time the teams have met in
a preseason opener since 1990.

2016 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

GAME RELEASE
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 58th
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
38th year, and the annual Washington Redskins Welcome Home
Luncheon, now in its 55th 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 Bruce Allen has made it a priority to build a bridge
to the franchise’s historic past. During the Redskins’ NFC East titlewinning 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 a four-year
span. 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 Wednesday, Aug. 31, the Washington Redskins Charitable
Foundation and Redskins Alumni Association will hold the 55th annual Welcome Home Luncheon at the Hilton McLean in Tyson’s Corner. 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.

Last year, the Redskins used the 2015 event to honor their players for contributions both on and off the field. Wide receiver DeSean
Jackson earned 2014 Bobby Mitchell Offensive Player of the Year
presented by Neustar, linebacker Ryan Kerrigan earned the 2014
Sam Huff Defensive Player of the Year presented by comScore and
punter Tress Way received the 2014 Mark Moseley Special Teams
Player of the Year Award presented by Five Guys. Other presented
awards included the Redskins Salute Award for efforts with the
military and the Redskins Community Man of the Year presented by
WashingtonFirst Bank. The Redskins will present their awards for
the 2015 season at the 2016 luncheon.
Also among the Redskins Alumni Association’s premier events is
the team’s annual Alumni Homecoming celebration, which the Redskins hosted in Week 7 last season. Not including staff and coaches,
players in attendance represented nearly 600 combined seasons of
Redskins service, 98 combined Super Bowl appearances, 59 combined Super Bowl titles, 26 members of the 80 Greatest Redskins,
17 Redskins Ring of Famers and five Pro Football Hall of Famers.
The Redskins used their 2015 Alumni Homecoming celebration to
induct center Jeff Bostic into the team’s Ring of Fame in addition to
inducting linebacker Monte Coleman in December.
This year, the Redskins will use their 2016 Alumni Homecoming
weekend against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10 to honor former General Manager Bobby Beathard with induction in the Ring of
Fame. The honor was announced by President Bruce Allen during
training camp at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training
Center in Richmond.
Beathard’s illustrious career as an NFL executive included 11
seasons as General Manager of the Redskins from 1978-88. After
taking the job on Feb. 24, 1978, Beathard guided the organization to
three Super Bowl appearances, including victories in Super Bowls
XVII and XXII. Many of the players he acquired remained on the roster for the team’s Super Bowl XXVI victory as well.
In Beathard’s 11 seasons as General Manager, the Redskins averaged 9.5 wins a year. The team posted a regular season winning
percentage of .625 (105-63) in that time frame, best in the NFC and
second-best in the NFL. No team in that time frame posted a better
postseason winning percentage than the Redskins, who went 11-3
in postseason play in his tenure for a winning percentage of .786.
“This is a wonderful occasion for us, and a real honor to be
brought back here by Bruce and Dan,” Beathard said. “Of all the
years I was in the NFL, this organization has been the most supportive and the most fun. I’ve never been with an organization who
has done this much for the people in it at present and the people
who were in it in the past.”

GAME RELEASE
POSITIONAL PROSPECTUS
OFFENSE
This year, the Redskins’ offense returns more than 80 percent
of its offensive yardage production from a 2015 season in which
Offensive Coordinator Sean McVay’s unit recorded Top 10 rankings
in third down percentage (43.5, fifth in the NFL), red zone scoring
percentage (61.2, eighth), yards per play (5.6, 10th) and points per
game (24.3, 10th). The 30-year-old coordinator will attempt to further develop an attack that returns most of its key contributors and
added a number of weapons this offseason.
QUARTERBACKS
The Redskins’ signal callers will once again fall under the purview of Quarterbacks Coach Matt Cavanaugh, whose 33 years of
NFL experience as a player and coach will help guide the Redskins’
quarterbacks for a second straight year.
Now in the midst of his first offseason receiving starter’s reps,
Kirk Cousins returns after a breakout campaign in 2015 in which
he guided the Redskins to an NFC East title and set single-season
team records for attempts (543), completions (379), passing yards
(4,166) and 300-yard passing games (seven). He completed 69.8
percent of his passes, becoming the first Redskins quarterback to
lead the NFL in completion percentage since Pro Football Hall of
Famer Sonny Jurgensen in 1970. Cousins was also the first player in
team history to throw a touchdown in all 16 games in a season since
the adoption of the 16-game schedule in 1978 and was one of only
two NFL quarterbacks (Russell Wilson) to throw a touchdown pass
in all 16 regular season games in 2015.
Veteran Colt McCoy enters his third year with the Redskins after re-signing with the team in the 2016 offseason. A seventh-year
NFL veteran, McCoy’s claim to fame in Washington may be his first
start with the team at Dallas in 2014, when he completed 25-of-30
passes for 299 yards and added a rushing touchdown in a thrilling
overtime win on Monday Night Football.
The Redskins prioritized finding a developmental quarterback in
the 2016 NFL Draft and found their man in Nate Sudfeld. The team
selected the 6-foot-6 Indiana product in the sixth round.
RUNNING BACKS
In his third season with the Redskins, Running Backs Coach
Randy Jordan will oversee the development of a young, high-upside
stable of backs.
Second-year pro Matt Jones is expected to be the team’s feature back in 2016 after the bruising runner turned heads in limited
action in his rookie campaign in 2015. The former third-round pick
finished last season with 490 rushing yards on 144 carries with
three rushing touchdowns and 304 receiving yards on 19 receptions
with one receiving touchdown. Jones posted a couple of signature
performances in 2015, including a 123-yard rushing game against
St. Louis in Week 2 in which he became the Redskins’ youngest 100yard rusher in the Super Bowl era. Against New Orleans, he posted
a highlight 78-yard receiving touchdown, the longest by a Redskins
running back since NFL MVP Larry Brown in 1972.
Jones’ physical style is complemented by the presence of Chris
Thompson, a dynamic threat who excelled as the team’s third-down
back in 2015. The 2013 fifth-round pick out of Florida State played a
career-high 13 games last year and recorded career highs in rushing attempts (35), rushing yards (216), receptions (35), receiving
yards (240) and receiving touchdowns (two). The other “veteran”
in the young group is first-year pro Mack Brown, a former Florida
running back who joined the Redskins in training camp a year ago
and spent parts of the 2015 season on the team’s practice squad.
In last April’s draft, the Redskins added Georgia’s Keith Marshall in the seventh round. Marshall wowed observers by running
a 4.31-second 40-yard dash at the 2016 NFL Combine, the fastest
time of any participant. The rookie class of backs also includes college free agents Robert Kelley (Tulane), Kelsey Young (Boise State
by way of Stanford) and fullback Joe Kerridge (Michigan).
WIDE RECEIVERS
After helping lead the Redskins to the 2012 NFC East Championship and helping one of his players to the league lead in yards
per reception in 2014, Wide Receivers Coach Ike Hilliard’s young
coaching career already boasts a proven track record. Now with
the addition of a first-round pick to an arsenal of proven veterans,
Hilliard’s sits at the helm of one of the league’s most dangerous
receiving groups.
The group features a pair of accomplished ninth-year veterans
in DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garçon. Just how key was Jackson
to the Redskins’ aerial attack in 2015? Once Jackson returned from
a hamstring injury in Week 9, the Redskins gained an NFL-best 8.94
yards per pass attempt after averaging a third-worst 6.46 in that
category in the first eight weeks while Jackson was either limited or
inactive. Garçon, meanwhile, has not only been reliable as a trusted
option as a chain-mover (particularly on third downs) but also as a
ferocious run blocker on the perimeter.

GAME RELEASE
POSITIONAL PROSPECTUS (CONT.)
The team invested in the position for the long term in the 2016
NFL Draft, using the No. 22 overall pick on TCU’s Josh Doctson. The
high-flying red zone target developed from a walk-on transfer from
Wyoming to TCU’s record-holder in receiving yards (2,785) and receiving touchdowns (29). Doctson became the fifth wide receiver
selected by the Redskins in the first round in the Common Draft
era, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Monk (1980), Desmond
Howard (1992), Michael Westbrook (1995) and Rod Gardner (2001).
A year earlier, the Redskins found a gem in the fourth round of
the 2015 NFL Draft when they selected Duke’s Jamison Crowder.
The shifty pass catcher earned the slot receiver role midseason in
2015 and proceeded to catch 59 passes to break Monk’s record by
a Redskins rookie (58). The group also includes Ryan Grant, a technician oft-praised by Head Coach Jay Gruden for the precision of
his routes, and Rashad Ross, a burner who caught his first career
receiving touchdown on a 71-yard bomb against Dallas last season.
The Redskins added six college free agents to their receiving
corps in 2016: Richmond’s Reggie Diggs, Cal’s Maurice Harris,
Florida’s Valdez Showers, Utah’s Kendal Thompson, Virginia’s T.J.
Thorpe and Alcorn State’s Jarvis Turner
TIGHT END
Wes Phillips assumed control of the Redskins’ tight ends in 2014
after former position coach Sean McVay transitioned into the offensive coordinator role that offseason. Last season, Phillips deftly
navigated a rash of injuries at the position and helped produce the
most prolific season by a single tight end in the team’s 80-plusyear history.
A number of injuries limited Jordan Reed to only 20 games in his
first two seasons in 2013-14, but in 2015, Reed played in 14 games
and compiled 87 receptions for 952 yards (both team records for a
tight end) with 11 receiving touchdowns. He led all Redskins players
in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns this season, becoming the first Redskins tight end to lead the team in all
three categories since Jean Fugett in 1977. The Redskins rewarded
their blossoming pass catcher with a multi-year contract extension
in the 2016 offseason, keeping one of the league’s toughest matchups in burgundy and gold for years to come.
The Redskins added a marquee veteran to the unit in the 2016
offseason, as Vernon Davis reunited with Redskins General Manager Scot McCloughan, the man who drafted him in San Francisco in
the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Davis ranks seventh all-time
among NFL tight ends with 55 career touchdowns and is the only
tight end in NFL history to post 13 or more receiving touchdowns in
multiple seasons.
The unit has three veteran players returning from injury in 2016.
Seventh-year pro Logan Paulsen missed the 2015 season with a toe
injury but has been a steady presence for Washington since making the team as a college free agent in 2010. Niles Paul entered
training camp a year ago as the team’s starting tight end but spent
2015 on the Reserve/Injured list after suffering an ankle injury in
the preseason opener. Following the preseason injuries to Paulsen
and Paul, the Redskins acquired Derek Carrier in a trade with San
Francisco. Carrier caught a career-high 17 passes for 141 yards in 12
games prior to suffering a season-ending knee injury in December.
The group also includes Marcel Jensen, whom the Redskins
signed to their active roster off the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad last
December.
OFFENSIVE LINE
Prior to the 2015 season, the Redskins announced venerable
coach Bill Callahan as their new offensive line coach. Callahan
joined the Redskins in 2015 with 17 prior NFL seasons among his
decades of coaching experience and made an immediate impact.
After the team allowed 58 sacks in 2014, Callahan’s unit held opponents to 27 sacks in 2015. The 31-sack turnaround was the largest
in team history since the NFL began recognizing sacks as an official
statistic in 1982.
The unit features one of the game’s elite left tackles in fourtime Pro Bowler Trent Williams, who was named by his peers as the
45th-best player in the entire league this past offseason. Strong
left tackle play has been a hallmark of the Redskins since the turn
of the century, as between Williams (2012-15) and Redskins legend
Chris Samuels (2001-02, 05-08), Redskins left tackles have earned
10 Pro Bowl invites since 2000 and eight in the last 11 seasons.
Williams’ dominance at left tackle has earned league-wide acclaim, but the rapid development of the right side of the Redskins’
offensive line was a major storyline in 2015. The Redskins selected
Brandon Scherff with the No. 5 overall pick in 2015 anticipating
he would play right tackle, but the atmospheric ascension of 2014
third-round pick Morgan Moses at right tackle allowed Scherff to
slide to right guard. Gruden and McVay have both expressed their
excitment in the duo’s ability to grow together after their outstanding performance in 2015 and solidify the right side of the line for
many years.
Center Kory Lichtensteiger is the longest-tenured member of
the group, now entering his seventh season with the Redskins. He
is a veteran of 90 career regular season games, including 74 with
the Redskins. Lichtensteiger missed 11 games because of injury last
season and was spelled in all 11 contests by guard-turned-center
Josh LeRibeus.
Left guard is primed to be one of the more interesting position
groups on the roster, where three players prominently factor into
the discussion. Incumbent starter Shawn Lauvao was playing at a
“really high level” according to Gruden before suffering a seasonending ankle injury in Week 3. Spencer Long, a 2014 third-round
pick who is now also cross-training at center, stepped in for Lauvao and started 13 regular season contests and the NFC Wild Card
round. Second-year guard Arie Kouandjio is also pushing for playing time a year after being selected out of Alabama in the fourth
round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
4
GAME RELEASE
Tackle Ty Nsekhe returns in 2016 after being one of the more
surprising roster inclusions a year ago, as the former Arena Football Leaguer appeared in 13 games with two starts last season.
Tackle Takoby Cofield and center Austin Reiter also return after
spending the 2015 season on the Redskins’ practice squad. Veteran
free agents Cody Booth and Al Bond and college free agents Kevin
Bowen (East Central), Nila Kasitati (Oklahoma) and Isaiah Williams
(Akron) round out the offensive line.
OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS
DEFENSE
Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry’s enthusiastic personality and
hands-on approach have been prominent since he assumed the role
of defensive coordinator for the Redskins in early 2015. His “starters” and “starters-in-waiting” philosophy was tested through a rash
of injuries a year ago but has produced strong depth for 2016.
DEFENSIVE LINE
Perhaps no unit on the roster has seen more turnover than the
group led by Defensive Line Coach Robb Akey. The release and subsequent retirement of Jason Hatcher and the free agency departure of Terrance Knighton have created opportunities for a number
of players in a deep group to factor into the line’s rotation.
Loquacious defensive end Chris Baker — aka “Swaggy” — returns after a career-high six-sack season in 2015. His breakout
season last year complemented the 2015 free agency additions
of Stephen Paea and Ricky Jean Francois. Jean Francois’ veteran
voice paid immediate dividends a year ago, as he helped guide the
unit en route to his fifth consecutive division title (2011-12 in San
Francisco, 2013-14 in Indianapolis and 2015 in Washington).
One of the offseason’s more intriguing storylines was the position change of third-year Stanford product Trent Murphy. The 2014
second-round pick recorded six sacks in his first two seasons as an
outside linebacker but has added weight to transition to defensive
end in 2016.
The defensive line is home to the team’s longest-tenured player,
Kedric Golston, known affectionately in the locker room as “Uncle Ked.” The 11th-year defensive end has appeared in 140 career
games since being drafted by the Redskins in the sixth round of the
2006 NFL Draft.
The unit added three veteran free agents in the 2016 offseason.
Unrestricted free agent signing Kendall Reyes joins the Redskins
after four years in San Diego, including three during Barry’s tenure
as the Chargers’ linebackers coach. Joining Reyes is eighth-year
defensive end Ziggy Hood, a former 2009 first-round pick of the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Nose tackle Jerrell Powe also returned this
offseason after being cut by the Redskins in the 2015 preseason.
The team has a number of young options along the defensive
line, including 2016 fifth-round pick Matt Ioannidis, 2015 practice
squad player Corey Crawford and college free agent Anthony Lanier II.
The Redskins turned to one of their own to oversee outside linebackers in 2016, hiring former Redskins linebacker Greg Manusky
as Outside Linebackers Coach after nine seasons as defensive
coordinator for various teams. Manusky played three seasons in
Washington in 1988-90 and coached for the Redskins for one year
in 2001.
Manusky will be tasked with managing and developing two marquee pass rushers in his unit — Ryan Kerrigan and Preston Smith.
A product of a 2011 NFL Draft that has produced a number of
elite pass rushers, Kerrigan has started all 16 games in each of his
first five seasons in Washington. His 47.5 sacks rank third-most in
team history, and he is one of only five NFL players since 1982 to
record at least 7.5 sacks in each of his first five seasons (Jared Allen, Derrick Thomas, DeMarcus Ware and Reggie White).
Smith, the team’s second-round selection in 2015, recorded
eight sacks in 2015 and became the first member of the Redskins
to lead all NFL rookies in sacks in a season since Brian Orakpo in
2009.
Houston Bates completed the journey from a rookie minicamp
tryout to the Redskins’ 53-man roster last season. After a superlative preseason, he became a core special teams player in 2015.
Two young players with varied professional experiences, including
former Canadian Football League standout Willie Jefferson and
former practice squad linebacker Lynden Trail, will compete as well.
Three college free agent outside linebackers signed with the
Redskins in 2016, including Shiro Davis (Texas), Ejiro Ederaine
(Fresno State) and Mike Wakefield (Florida International).
INSIDE LINEBACKERS
The inside linebackers will once again be guided by long-time
Redskins assistant Kirk Olivadotti, a veteran of 13 previous NFL
seasons with Washington 2000-10 and 2014-15. He is one of 11
members of the Redskins’ assistant coach honor roll, which recognizes coaches with at least 10 seasons of service as an assistant in
Washington.
The Redskins fought a number of injuries to the position in
2015, ending the season with two new starters from their season
opener. The Redskins won the NFC East in 2015 thanks in part to
the odd couple of Will Compton and Mason Foster, whose instant
off-field friendship translated into on-field chemsitry. Compton, a
2013 college free agent, has blossomed into a vocal and cerebral
leader at Mike linebacker, helping Foster, who signed with the Redskins in Week 4 last season, contribute and start five games at ‘Mo’
linebacker last season. Foster will have to hold off Perry Riley Jr.,
who has compiled 437 total tackles in 79 games with 63 starts for
Washington since 2010.
The team added unrestricted free agent Terence Garvin, a fifthyear pro regarded for his special teams play who began his career
with the Steelers, to the group in 2016.
Martrell Spaight sustained a concussion in Week 1 and missed
most of his rookie season after being selected by the Redskins in
5
GAME RELEASE
the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. The Redskins selected Boston College’s Steven Daniels in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL
Draft. The duo give the Redskins a pair of stout, hard-hitting interior
linebackers with similar builds and skillsets.
The unit also includes Carlos Fields, who played five games for
Washington in 2015 after joining the team last November.
DEFENSIVE BACKS
Defensive Backs Coach Perry Fewell presides over a unit that
features one of the league’s marquee free agent additions, a number of old faces in new places and an unorthodox young weapon.
When the Carolina Panthers rescinded cornerback Josh Norman’s franchise tag in April, the Redskins mobilized quickly. Two
days later, the Redskins secured the services of the 2015 All-Pro
corner coming off of an appearance in Super Bowl 50. Norman is
expected to pair with returning starter and fellow South Carolina
native Bashaud Breeland, who has started 29 of 32 possible games
for Washington since being selected in the fourth round of the 2014
NFL Draft.
The Redskins have three former cornerbacks transitioning to
safety in 2016. DeAngelo Hall, now in his 13th NFL season, began
his transition upon returning from injury in Week 10 last year and
is operating in his first offseason at the position. Will Blackmon, a
10-year veteran, is making the same transition after he became an
immensely valuable midseason signing who made a career-high 10
starts for Washington in 2015. Second-year pro Deshazor Everett is
also learning the safety position after contributing as a cornerback
and standout special teams gunner in his rookie season.
The Redskins’ supplemented their safety position with the unrestricted free agency signing of David Bruton Jr., who served as the
special teams captain for the Broncos’ Super Bowl championship
team last year. He joins another former Bronco safety, Duke Ihenacho, who started for the Redskins in Week 1 last season before suffering a season-ending wrist injury.
Safety will be only one piece of the job description for 2016 second-round pick Su’a Cravens, a versatile new weapon in the mold
of Arizona “moneybacker” Deone Bucannon. Cravens will split his
time between safety and ‘Mo’ linebacker and will serve primarily as
the team’s dime linebacker. One round later in the 2016 NFL Draft,
the Redskins added a defensive back with NFL bloodlines when the
team selected Virginia Tech cornerback Kendall Fuller, whose three
older brothers – Vincent, Corey and Kyle – have all appeared in NFL
contests. According to Sports Illustrated, if Kendall appears in game
action, the Fuller family will join the Browners – Ross, Jim, Joey and
Keith – as the only set of four brothers to all play in the NFL.
Three intriguing names are also competing for cornerback positions. Second-year cornerback Quinton Dunbar was a revelation for
the Redskins in 2015 after he transitioned from a college free agent
wide receiver to a cornerback in training camp simply because the
team was short on practice bodies. He’d later go on to intercept
former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Eli Manning in a key divisional
win. The Redskins promoted Dashaun Phillips to their active roster
from the practice squad in November last year, and the young corner played in six games and could contribute at both nickel corner
and on special teams. Greg Toler, a Washington, D.C. native entering
his eighth NFL season, signed with the Redskins as an unrestricted
free agent in 2016.
Third-year cornerback Jeremy Harris returns after playing in
the Redskins’ Week 17 win at Dallas last season. College free agent
cornerbacks Lloyd Carrington (Arizona State) and Mariel Cooper
(The Citadel) and college free agent safety Geno Matias-Smith will
attempt to crack the Redskins’ roster as well this season.
SPECIAL TEAMS
For the third consecutive season, the Redskins’ special teams
are commanded by former Apache helicopter pilot and eight-year
Army veteran Ben Kotwica. He and assistants Bradford Banta and
Bret Munsey will oversee the unit.
The Redskins surprised many in Week 2 last season when they
elected to move on from kicker Kai Forbath, the franchise leader
in field goal percentage among players with at least 50 attempts,
in favor of signing kicker Dustin Hopkins. The results were hard to
argue with, as Hopkins supplemented his field goal kicking (25-of28, third-best single-season percentage in team history) with his
status as a much-needed weapon in the field position battle.
Across the 2013-14 seasons, the Redskins ranked third-to-last
in the NFL in touchback percentage, recording touchbacks on only
34.0 percent of kickoffs. In 2015, Hopkins registered touchbacks
on 52-of-76 kickoffs (68.4 percent), the ninth-best percentage of
any NFL kicker.
In the 2014 preseason, the Redskins gave punter Tress Way 10
days to make the roster after claiming him off waivers less than two
weeks before final cuts. In the two seasons since, Way has averaged 46.8 yards per punt, the most by any player in team history
with a minimum of 100 career punts. The Redskins signed the young
punter to a multi-year extension in the 2016 offseason.
All kicking and punting units are expected to utilize the services
of long snapper Nick Sundberg, now in his seventh season with the
Redskins.

GAME RELEASE
HEAD COACH JAY GRUDEN
Jay Gruden is in his third season with the Washington Redskins
in 2016 after being named the 29th head coach in franchise history
on January 9, 2014.
Previously a decorated quarterback in the college and Arena
Football League ranks and a successful NFL assistant, Gruden
showcased his offensive acumen honed from his diverse football
background in his first two years with the Redskins.
In 2015, Gruden led the Redskins to an NFC East Championship,
posting a 9-7 record to complete the second “worst-to-first” turnaround in team history. Gruden became the sixth coach in team history to lead the Redskins to a playoff berth within the first two years
at the helm, joining Ray Flaherty, Dutch Bergman, Dudley DeGroot,
George Allen and Joe Gibbs.
Under Gruden’s guidance, the 2015 Redskins featured one of
the most prolific passing attacks in franchise history. Quarterback
Kirk Cousins, named the starter in the middle of the preseason,
set single-season team records for attempts (543), completions
(379), passing yards (4,166) and 300-yard passing games (seven)
while throwing 29 touchdown passes, including at least one in all
16 games. Cousins’ success coincided with the emergence of thirdyear tight end Jordan Reed, who finished the season with 87 receptions for 952 yards (both team records for a tight end) with 11
receiving touchdowns.
Gruden assumed control of the Redskins in 2014 and guided the
team through a campaign in which three different quarterbacks
(Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy) recorded victories
as starters. He installed an offensive system that produced two Pro
Bowlers in his first season as tackle Trent Williams and running
back Alfred Morris earned repeat berths.
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 head 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 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 President 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
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
1,673-of-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 — and a grandson,
Trey.

GAME RELEASE
THE OPPONENT
DAN QUINN
The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2016 preseason following an 8-8 campaign in 2015
in which they finished second in the NFC
South. This season will be the team’s
second under the purview of Head
Coach Dan Quinn.
Matt Ryan returns as the team’s
incumbent at quarterback in his ninth
NFL season. The 2015 season marked
his fifth consecutive 4,000-yard
campaign, as he completed 407-of614 passes (66.3 percent) for 4,591
yards with 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Ryan has started all 16
regular season games for the Falcons in each of the last six seasons.
Running back Devonta Freeman led the Falcons in rushing a
year ago, posting 1,056 rushing yards on 265 carries including 11
touchdowns, tied for the most in the NFL. Then-rookie Tevin Coleman contributed 392 rushing yards on 87 carries and added a
rushing touchdown.
Wide receiver Julio Jones posted team and career highs in receptions (136) and receiving yards (1,871) in 2015. His eight touchdown receptions led all Falcons players. Freeman finished second
on the Falcons with 73 receptions, while tight end Jacob Tamme
posted the second-most receiving yards on the team (657).
Linebacker Paul Worrilow paced the Falcons with a team-high
95 total tackles (67 solo) in 2015. Then-rookie linebacker Vic Beasley recorded a team-high 4.0 sacks, and safety Ricardo Allen led
the Falcons with three interceptions.
Matt Bryant, now in his 15th NFL season, enters the 2016 preseason in competition for kicking duties with rookie Nick Rose. Bryant was 14-of-18 (77.8 percent) on field goal attempts in 10 games
for the Falcons last season.
Eric Weems served as the team’s primary kick and punt returner
in 2015. He averaged 26.9 yards per return on 15 kickoff returns
and 11.6 yards per return on 19 punt returns.
Dan Quinn is entering his second seson as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons
after becoming the 16th head coach in
team history in February of 2015.
In his first season at the helm, Quinn
led the team to a 5-0 start, becoming the
first coach in franchise history to begin
his career with five straight wins. The
Falcons would finish the season with an
8-8 record.
Quinn’s defensive background helped
Atlanta improve from 32nd in total defense to 16th in the course of one year.
In addition to the Falcons’ defensive
strides, WR Julio Jones enjoyed a historic season under Quinn, posting the second most receptions (139)
and receiving yards (1,871) in a single season in NFL history.
Quinn took over the club after serving as the Seattle Seahawks’
defensive coordinator for two seasons (2013-14), helping guide
them to consecutive Super Bowl appearances. During that span,
Quinn oversaw the NFL’s top defensive unit as Seattle led the league
allowing 270.4 yards per game, 15.2 points per game, and 178.8
passing yards per game while holding opponents to 91.6 rushing
yards per game. In 2014, Quinn’s defense led the NFL in scoring defense (15.9), total defense (267.1), and passing yards (185.6), while
ranking third in rushing yards (81.5). The Seahawks also boasted
the league’s top defensive unit in 2013, en route to a win over the
Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.
Quinn originally joined the Seahawks in 2009, after spending the
previous six years coaching the defensive lines for the San Francisco 49ers (2003-04), Miami Dolphins (2005-06) and the New York
Jets (2007-08). He previously served as the Seahawks’ assistant
head coach/defensive line coach in 2009 under Jim Mora.
Quinn left Seattle in 2011 to become the defensive coordinator at
the University of Florida where his defenses ranked in the top 10 in
the country. In his first season with the Gators, his defense ranked
eighth nationally in total defense (299.5), seventh in passing defense (166.8), and second in third-down defense (27.1 percent). Prior to joining Seattle, Quinn coached the defensive line for the New
York Jets from 2007-08. In 2008, the Jets defense ranked fifth in
the NFL in yards per carry (3.7), seventh in sacks (41), and ninth in
rushing yards per game (94.9). The Jets were also sixth in the AFC
in yards per play (5.2) and third-down defense (38.6).
He held the same position for the Miami Dolphins for two seasons (2005-06), as Quinn helped the Dolphins rank first in the AFC
and second in the NFL with 49 sacks. Miami also finished third in
the AFC in yards per play (4.7) and fourth in yards per carry (3.7).
He began his NFL coaching career in San Francisco as its defensive assistant in 2001 before moving on to coach the 49ers defensive line from 2003-04. Quinn got his start coaching the defensive
line at William and Mary in 1994, followed by a season at Virginia
Military Institute. He held the same position with Hofstra for four
seasons before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2000.
Quinn was a four-year letter winner and two-time co-captain at
Division III Salisbury (Md.) State as a defensive lineman, where he
recorded 139 tackles and eight tackles for loss. He also lettered in
track and held the school record in the hammer throw. He was inducted into the Salisbury State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005.
Quinn’s charitable foundation, Quinn’s Corps, which he and his
wife, Stacey, started in 2005, serves members of the military both
at home and abroad. Quinn’s foundation provides military families
that are stateside with tickets to games while sending special care
packages to soldiers that are deployed overseas.
Quinn was born in Morristown, N.J. He and his wife, Stacey, reside in Suwanee, Ga.

REDSKINS IN LONDON
The Washington Redskins will travel from one nation’s capital to
another in 2016, as Washington, D.C.’s squad is slated to head overseas to England for a Week 8 game against the Cincinnati Bengals
at London’s Wembley Stadium. The Oct. 30 tilt is one of three regular season NFL International Series games scheduled in the United
Kingdom this season.
Redskins Owner Dan Snyder has been involved in expanding
the NFL’s footprint overseas. He serves on the NFL’s International
Committee, which staged three regular season games in London
in each of the previous two seasons and authorized the league to
potentially expand the series to other markets in future years.
“We are excited to showcase the Washington Redskins on an
international stage,” Snyder said when the league announced the
Redskins’ involvement for 2016. “We are honored to help grow the
game overseas.”
“The Washington Redskins are proud to be one of the most
popular sports teams in the world,” President Bruce Allen said. “We
look forward to seeing our fans from everywhere come together to
sing ‘Hail to the Redskins’ in London.”
The contest at Wembley will mark the Redskins’ European debut
in regular season play and only their second regular season game
outside the United States all-time. In their only other international
regular season game to date, the Redskins faced the Buffalo Bills
at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on Oct. 30, 2011.
The Redskins have twice appeared overseas in preseason competition, once at the former Wembley Stadium in London in 1992
and once at the Osaka Dome in Osaka, Japan in 2002.
Fans are encouraged to visit Redskins.com/London for information on ticket announcements, travel packages, fan experiences
and more.

GAME RELEASE
LAST MEETING
Falcons 25, Redskins 19 (OT)
Associated Press
Oct. 11, 2015
ATLANTA -- With the game on the line, Robert Alford relied on
lessons learned in his film study of Kirk Cousins’ three-step drops.
Then Alford ended the game.
Alford returned an interception 59 yards for a touchdown, lifting
the undefeated Atlanta Falcons to a 25-19 win over the Washington
Redskins in overtime Sunday.
The Redskins had the first possession of OT and Cousins moved
the team to midfield. On second and 8 from the 50, Ryan Grant
slipped while trying to adjust to Cousins’ pass. Alford was in perfect
position for the interception before racing down the sideline for the
touchdown.
“I trusted my instincts and the film study,” Alford said. “... I just
jumped it, and it was there for me to make a play on. I looked back
to see who was around me, and once there was nobody around me,
it was off to the end zone.”
Near the end of his sprint toward the goal line, Alford held the
ball high with both hands and did a high-step, Deion Sanders style.
Atlanta’s other starting cornerback, Desmond Trufant, wears
the No. 21 Sanders made famous in Atlanta, but the Prime Time play
of the day belonged to Alford.
Cousins said he felt pressure from Atlanta’s pass rush before
trying to complete the pass to Grant.
“I was hot off the left side and felt need to get rid of the football
and not take a sack and kill the drive,” Cousins said. “... I made the
throw and the guy made the play and that was it.”
Alford had a pass interference penalty in the fourth quarter to
set up a Washington touchdown.
Grant was not available for postgame interviews.
Atlanta trailed 16-12 before Devonta Freeman’s 6-yard scoring
run with 24 seconds remaining in regulation. The Falcons (5-0) are
the first team to start 5-0 when trailing in the fourth quarter of four
games.
Freeman had an apparent 13-yard scoring catch ruled incomplete on a review two plays before his scoring run.
Freeman had 27 carries for 153 yards and the touchdown. He
is the first NFL player with seven rushing touchdowns in his first
three starts.
Dustin Hopkins’ 52-yard field goal for Washington on the final
play of regulation forced overtime.
The Falcons overcame two interceptions and a lost fumble by
Matt Ryan, who completed 24 of 42 passes for 254 yards with no
touchdowns.
The Redskins (2-3) were denied their first back-to-back wins in
almost a year -- since Weeks 7 and 8 in 2014.
“This is a tough one, man,” said Redskins coach Jay Gruden. “We
had an opportunity. ... Our receiver slips and falls and they get a pick
six. Ryan Grant just slipped and fell. It’s unfortunate.”
The interception was the second of the game for Cousins, who
completed 21 of 32 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown.
Matt Jones’ 1-yard run midway through the final quarter gave
Washington a 13-12 lead.
Julio Jones, who began the day leading the NFL in catches, and
Roddy White were held without a catch in the first half. Jones finished with five catches for 67 yards. White, who complained about
his diminished role early in the week before meeting with coach Dan
Quinn, had two catches for 23 yards.
White’s first catch of the day, a 16-yarder, moved the Falcons to
the Washington 14 in the fourth quarter. Freeman ran for 11 yards
and Atlanta again gave the ball to Freeman. He was stripped by defensive end Chris Baker near the 2 and the ball bounced into the end
zone. Jones fell on the fumble for a touchdown.
Ryan’s pass for Leonard Hankerson on the 2-point attempt was
incomplete.
Washington had a quick answer. Following a pass interference
call against Alford, Jones’ 1-yard run gave Washington a 13-12 lead;
Cousins’ pass for Pierre Garcon was incomplete on the 2-point attempt.
Cousins’ first-quarter 7-yard pass to tight end Derek Carrier was
the only touchdown for either team through three quarters. The Falcons tried to keep pace with field goals, but twice the uprights got in
the way of the usually reliable Matt Bryant’s attempts.

GAME RELEASE
KIRK COUSINS
Comebacks were nothing new to Kirk Cousins in 2015.
As one of Michigan State’s most decorated quarterbacks, Cousins became known for signature moments. In his senior season in
2011, Cousins and his Michigan State teammates received “Best
Finish of the Year” from the Big Ten Network after Cousins completed a 44-yard Hail Mary with no time remaining to earn a 37-31
win against previously undefeated Wisconsin in one of the most defining images of the 2011 college football season. His heroics continued in his final college game, as he threw for 300 yards in the
Spartans’ 33-30 win against Georgia in the Outback Bowl, leading
a touchdown drive in the final two minutes to force overtime in an
eventual three-overtime win.
Cousins’ perpetuated his late-game feats at the professional
level in his rookie season, as he helped deliver in a comeback win vs.
the eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens during Washington’s 2012 NFC East title-winning season. Down eight with less
than two minutes remaining, Cousins completed two-of-two passes
including an 11-yard touchdown to Pierre Garçon. He followed with a
two-point conversion on a quarterback draw, marking the first time
in team history that the Redskins had scored a two-point conversion to send a game to overtime. Cousins’ performance earned the
then-rookie “GMC Never Say Never” honors that week.
But perhaps nothing in Cousins’ collegiate career or rookie season could prepare him for the comeback opportunity that awaited
him in 2015. In 2014, Cousins started five games before the team
turned to other options at quarterback, and he completed the 2015
offseason receiving second-team reps in practice.
That all changed with the following announcement by Head
Coach Jay Gruden on Aug. 31, less than two weeks prior to the
team’s 2015 season opener.
“It’s Kirk’s team,” Gruden said.
Cousins rewarded the faith of Gruden and the entire organization in 2015, leading the Redskins to their 15th division title in team
history and sharing PFWA Co-Most Improved Player of the Year
honors with Carolina Panthers cornerback (and new 2016 teammate) Josh Norman.
Cousins’ career comeback and the late-game theatrics were
featured in Week 4 last season against the Philadelphia Eagles
when he engineered a 15-play, 90-yard drive in 5:39 to complete his
first fourth-quarter come-from-behind victory as a starter. Cousins
threaded a ball into a tight window to connect with Garçon for a
four-yard touchdown with 26 seconds remaining to earn the win.
After the win, Cousins said the hardships of his career were integral in his growth in being able to deliver in that moment.
“I know that that final drive I wasn’t capable of doing that when
I came into the league as a rookie,” Cousins said. “It takes time, it
takes failures, it takes learning from experiences and a combination
of, I guess it would be three-plus seasons worth of work got me to a
point where I was able to make the necessary plays on that drive.”
Three weeks later, Cousins’ comeback ability helped rewrite the
Redskins’ record book. Trailing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 24-0,
late in the second quarter, Cousins accounted for four touchdowns
(three passing, one rushing) in leading the Redskins to the largest
comeback victory in the franchise’s 84-year history.
Cousins completed 33-of-40 passes for 317 yards with three
touchdowns and no interceptions, posting the sixth game of 300
passing yards, three passing touchdowns and no interceptions by a
Redskins quarterback in a win since the 1970 merger. The NFC Offensive Player of the Week registered his team-record-tying 33rd
completion of the game on a six-yard game-winning touchdown
pass to tight end Jordan Reed with 24 seconds remaining.
With his two fourth-quarter comeback wins in October, Cousins became the first quarterback since Drew Bledsoe in December
2005 to throw game-winning touchdown passes with less than 30
seconds remaining twice in a single month, according to the Elias
Sports Bureau.

JORDAN REED
Jordan Reed entered the 2015 season as a volatile stock in the
eyes of some observers.
The third-year tight end had flashed his talent and ability during
his first two seasons in 2013-14, but a myriad of injuries and other
factors limited his productivity. But in 2015, Reed’s growth stock
surged through the ceiling as he compiled arguably the greatest
season by a tight end in the Redskins’ 84-year history.
In the 2015 regular season, Reed recorded 87 receptions for 952
yards (both team records for a tight end) with 11 receiving touchdowns, ranking among the league leaders in nearly every statistical
category among tight ends.
“As I’ve said before and said every week, I don’t
know anybody who can guard that young man.
When he’s on, he’s on, and it’s tough to stop. He’s
the best receiving tight end in the NFL, hands
down.”
- Four-time Pro Bowl tackle Trent Williams on Jordan Reed in 2015,
as told to Master Tesfatsion of The Washington Post

Reed led all Redskins players in receptions, receiving yards and
receiving touchdowns this season, becoming the first Redskins
tight end to lead the team in all three categories since Jean Fugett
in 1977.
In addition to his 11 regular season receiving touchdowns, Reed
added his first career postseason touchdown in the NFC Wild Card
Round last season in the midst of a nine-catch, 120-yard afternoon.
Reed’s touchdown against Green Bay was his 12th total of the year,
as he became the fifth member of the Redskins to record 12 combined receiving touchdowns across a single regular season and
postseason (Gary Clark in 1991, Ricky Sanders in 1988, Jerry Smith
in 1967, Charley Taylor in 1966 and Hugh Taylor in 1952; all had 12).
One of Reed’s finer regular season performances in 2015 came
in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears, as he posted a then-seasonhigh 120 receiving yards with a touchdown on nine receptions. After
helping will to the Redskins to a 24-21 road win, teammates shouted
“Pro Bowl!” and “Pay the man!” during Reed’s media availability.
Following the performance, Bears Head Coach John Fox said of
Reed, “Well, I mean, he is a professional football player. He played
tight end well.” Redskins offensive captain Trent Williams, a fourtime Pro Bowler, was slightly more effusive in his praise.
“As I’ve said before and said every week, I don’t know anybody
who can guard that young man,” Williams said. “When he’s on, he’s
on, and it’s tough to stop. He’s the best receiving tight end in the
NFL, hands down. I think he’s having a Pro Bowl year.”
Reed came up large on the team’s biggest stage in Week 16 last
season, catching nine passes for 129 yards with two touchdowns in
the team’s NFC East division-clinching win against the Philadelphia
Eagles.
“He’s an elite tight end. He’s the real deal as a
receiver.”
- Quarterback Kirk Cousins on Jordan Reed

The true impact of Reed’s presence in 2015 was evident in the

GAME RELEASE
DeSEAN JACKSON
There was a familiar feel to the Redskins’ pursuit and signing of
“surprise” free agent cornerback Josh Norman in the 2016 offseason. Two years earlier, the Redskins made one of the biggest impact signings of the 2014 offseason when electrifying wide receiver
DeSean Jackson unexpectedly hit the market and signed with the
burgundy and gold.
Though perhaps diminutive in size, there has been nothing small
about Jackson’s performance in Washington, as the Cal product
recorded 86 receptions for 1,697 yards with 10 touchdowns in his
first two seasons with the team from 2014-15. His 19.7 yards-perreception average across 2014-15 ranked first in the NFL among
players with at least 40 catches.
Jackson made an instant impact in his first year with the team
in 2014, finishing the year with an NFL-best average of 20.9 yards
per reception, the fifth-best mark in team history. He became the
first member of the Redskins to finish a season as the NFL leader
in yards per reception since Henry Ellard (19.5 in 1996) and was the
fourth player in team history to accomplish the feat (Ellard in 1996,
Jim Podoley in 1957 and Hugh Taylor in 1950).
In 2015, Jackson was limited by injury to nine games but still recorded 30 receptions for 528 yards with four touchdowns. Despite
limited opportunties, his explosiveness remained on display, as his
four scores covered distances of 56 yards, 63 yards, 28 yards and
77 yards, chronologically. The shortest of the four was a game-tying touchdown in the final minute of the team’s Week 13 contest on
ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
“When that ball is in the air, I’m going to track
it down. I’ve practiced a long time, a lot of hours,
many weeks, many days doing that.”
- Wide receiver DeSean Jackson
The Redskins knew first-hand what kind of playmaking ability
Jackson possessed prior to signing him in 2014. In six years as a
Philadelphia Eagle, he caught 32 passes for 572 yards (17.9 avg.)
with five receiving touchdowns, his most receiving touchdowns
against any opponent, in 11 games against Washington.
“The guy gets downfield and can adjust to the ball like nobody
else,” Head Coach Jay Gruden said.
Jackson’s explosiveness has turned heads since he entered the
league in 2008. Jackson leads the NFL in receptions of 50-plus
yards (33) and total touchdowns of 50-plus yards (24) in that timeframe.
“I think he’s talented tracking the football. When the ball is in
the air he does a really good job of tracking it and running underneath it,” quarterback Kirk Cousins said. “He’s obviously fast. He
has a good skill in finding the football and locating it and making
the tough catch.”

OFFENSIVE PLAYMAKERS
PIERRE GARÇON
JAMISON CROWDER
When the Redskins signed Pierre Garçon in the first hour of free
agency during the 2012 offseason, the Redskins hoped they were
getting an ascending 25-year-old talent with a Super Bowl appearance under his belt. What the Redskins have gotten from Garçon
in four seasons since has been a reliable target, fierce competitor
and tenacious blocker who played a significant role in the Redskins’
division titles in 2012 and 2015.
Garçon enters the 2016 season having appeared in 58 games
with 56 starts for the Redskins since 2012, recording 297 receptions for 3,508 yards and 18 receiving touchdowns in four years.
His 297 receptions with Washington already rank in the Top 10 in
team history.
Jamison Crowder entered his rookie season in 2015 with expectations of assuming the team’s role at punt returner, but Crowder
rapidly exceeded those limits and earned the team’s top slot receiver role and became another weapon for the Redskins on third down.
“We had a penciled-in punt returner job for him, but for him to
win the starting inside slot receiver is a testament to him and how
quickly he picked it up and his production,” Head Coach Jay Gruden
said. “When you draft guys, you have high hopes for them, but you
never expect them to be this much of a factor this early, especially
fourth-fifth rounders.”

That season, Garçon became the first member of the Redskins
to lead the NFL in receptions since 1984 and also became the third
player in NFL history to record at least five receptions in all 16
games of a season since the adoption of the 16-game schedule in
1978 (Jimmy Smith in 2001 and Antonio Brown in 2013).
Garçon has been a primary target for the Washington Redskins
on third down since during his tenure in Washington. In 58 games,
Redskins quarterbacks have targeted Garçon 124 times on third
down, 50 more targets than any of his teammates in that time
frame. Garçon ranked second in the NFC and tied for fifth in the
NFL in third-down receptions in 2015.
“He’s one of those kids: You can put him in a
phone booth and you probably wouldn’t get a hand
on him.”

THIRD DOWNS
‘YOU GET WHAT YOU EMPHASIZE’
THIRD AND ≤ 6
In 2014, the Redskins ranked 30th in the NFL in third down conversion percentage (31.5). The Redskins devoted large portions of
their offseason efforts to improving on third downs on both sides
of the ball.
“I’ve always believed that you get what you emphasize and I
think our coaches went back and looked at last year and said, ‘We
need to be better on third down. Let’s emphasize that,’” quarterback Kirk Cousins said. “So staring in April when we came back it
was a point of emphasis. When you work on something enough and
emphasize it, you get the results.”
The Redskins ranked among the Top 10 in the NFL in third down
conversion percentage for the majority of the 2015 season and
concluded the year as one of 14 NFL teams to convert at least 40
percent of third downs in 2015.
The Redskins’ success on long drives in 2015 was predicated
in part on their success on third downs, particularly on what Head
Coach Jay Gruden and Quarterback Kirk Cousins refer to as “Thirdand-Manageables.” The added importance on staying ahead of the
chains on early downs helped facilitate Washington’s turnaround
on third downs in 2015.
The Redskins were one of the league’s best at converting third
downs when faced with six or fewer yards to go in 2015.

GAME RELEASE
RYAN KERRIGAN — #HBKERRIGAN
Call him “Heartbreak Kerrigan” (#HBKerrigan on Twitter) or call
him “The Showstopper,” either way, Redskins fans can call Ryan
Kerrigan their own for the foreseeable future.
On the day Redskins players reported to Richmond, Va., for
training camp in 2015, the team announced it had reached a multiyear contract extension to keep the productive, reliable fan favorite
in burgundy and gold. The extension came on the heels of a monster
year for Kerrigan in 2014, as he started all 16 games for a fourth
consecutive season and posted a career-high 13.5 sacks.
““To get to a moment like this where you get a chance to play out
the rest of your NFL career with the team that drafted you, the team
that you love, the city that you love, it hasn’t really hit me yet, but
it’s an awesome feeling,” Kerrigan said on the date of his extension.
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 selection, the Redskins selected Kerrigan, the then-defensive end out of
Purdue.
Named to his first career Pro Bowl following the 2012 season,
the Muncie, Ind. native registered 8.5 sacks in each of the 2012-13
seasons after posting 7.5 in his rookie season in 2011 and exploded
in 2014 with a career-high 13.5 sacks. But his productivity has been
matched by his reliability, as he has started all 80 regular season
games and one postseason game played by the organization since
his selection in 2011. In 2015, he became only the fifth player in NFL
history to open a career with at least 7.5 sacks in each of his first
five seasons, joining Jared Allen, Derrick Thomas, DeMarcus Ware
and Reggie White.
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 celebrated.
“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.”
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 is one of six players selected in the 2011 NFL
Draft to have already reached 45 career sacks. Houston’s J.J. Watt (74.5), Denver’s Von Miller (60.0), Kansas City’s Justin Houston (56.0), St. Louis’ Robert
Quinn (50.0), Oakland’s Aldon Smith (47.5) and Kerrigan (47.5) have combined for 335.5 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 17 forced
fumbles in his young career, the most by a member of the Redskins
since 1994.
Kerrigan’s impact on the Redskins has transcended football,
as he was honored with the team’s Walter Payton Man of the
Year award in 2015. In addition to participating in numerous
events through the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation, Kerrigan welcomed 185 guests to the Grand Hyatt Washington in 2015 for his third Celebrity Waiter Night, raising more
than $100,000 for his Blitz for the Better Foundation, which
provides support to seriously ill, special needs and physically
challenged children throughout the Greater Washington D.C. area.

GAME RELEASE
CORNERBACK CORNER
JOSH NORMAN
BASHAUD BREELAND
When the Carolina Panthers rescinded cornerback Josh Norman’s franchise tag and allowed the All-Pro defender to enter unrestricted free agency on April 20, roles instantly became reversed.
The 28-year-old lockdown corner became the subject of teams trying to lock down his services.
The Redskins mobilized quickly, dispatching Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry and Defensive Backs Coach Perry Fewell on April
22 to pick up Norman and his family from his Carolina home and
bring them to team headquarters. The group arrived back in Ashburn early that afternoon, and after the full press and a family vote,
Norman was a member of the Washington Redskins by 9:30 p.m.
“It was an exciting 24 hours there and we’re happy as heck to
get him,” Head Coach Jay Gruden said. “I think he’s one of the premier corners in the National Football League. He can matchup with
receivers, he can play inside/outside, he’s got great ball skills, he’s
a ball hawk. You can’t coach that – you really can’t. There’s a skillset
you have to have as a defensive back that he has all that skillset,
but he also has the ability to get the ball back for the offense, and
that’s the most appealing thing.”
Norman joined the Redskins having previously appeared in 53
regular season games with 38 starts for Carolina, recording 178
tackles (136 solo), 36 passes defensed, seven interceptions (two
returned for touchdowns), four forced fumbles and three fumbles
recovered from 2012-15.
The Redskins believed they found a gem in the fourth round of
the 2014 NFL Draft when they selected cornerback Bashaud Breeland out of Clemson. He rewarded their faith as a rookie in 2014,
leading the team with two interceptions and starting 15 games —
the third-most by a Redskins rookie cornerback in team history behind only Champ Bailey (16 in 1999) and Pro Football Hall of Famer
Darrell Green (16 in 1983).
In 2015, the signing of Chris Culliver and the return of DeAngelo
Hall from injury was supposed to allow Breeland to flourish in nickel
role, but various injuries to the Redskins’ secondary once again
thrusted him into a starting role. Breeland compiled 81 tackles (59
solo), a team- and career-high 16 passes defensed, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 15 games,
including a Week 9 contest in which he was limited by injury.
In Week 5 last season, Breeland posted four passes defensed
and his first interception of the season, playing a key role in helping limit Falcons receiver Julio Jones to only five receptions and
no receiving touchdowns. A week later, Breeland turned in a career
day, recording an interception, forced fumble and a career-high two
fumble recoveries to become only the fifth NFL player since the
turn of the century to record two fumble recoveries and an interception in a single game.
“I’m very, very fortunate enough to be here
with this magnitude of an organization. I can’t say
enough great things about them. The history here
is 84-years-plus, so this is the golden age of football when you come down here to the NFC East. So
I’m loving it.”
- Cornerback Josh Norman
Last season, Norman started all 16 regular season games and all
three postseason games for the Panthers, recording career highs
in interceptions (four), forced fumbles (three) and fumbles recovered (two) in addition to tying for the league lead in interceptions
returned for touchdowns (two). His highly decorated 2015 campaign resulted in a myriad of honors, including All-Pro selections
from both the Associated Press and Pro Football Writers Association in addition to sharing PFWA Co-Most Improved Player of the
Year honors with new teammate Kirk Cousins.
Norman’s accolades and productivity speak for themselves, but
what kind of person were the Redskins getting? Barry learned immediately.
“Obviously to get a player of his caliber, I think anytime you add
that on to your roster it’s huge, but to get the type of work ethic,
the type of character...” Barry said before transitioning into an anecdote. “The story I always tell people is that we walked out of the
building with Josh and his family and all of us at about 10:30 on that
Friday night, he was going back to the airport to fly back home and
I was like, ‘OK, bro, when do you think you’re going to make it back?’
He looked at me literally like I was crazy. He was like, ‘What are you
talking about? I will be back Sunday night and I will be in the building at 8:00 Monday morning to work.’ So, that to me said a lot.”

With picks in Weeks 5-6 last year, Breeland became the first
member of the Redskins record an interception in consecutive
games since London Fletcher did so in three straight games across
Weeks 14-16 of the 2012 season.
However, Breeland’s biggest play of the 2015 season may not
have even ended with the ball in his hands. In Week 7 against the
Tampa Bay Buccaners, the Redskins had fought back from a 24-0
deficit to pull within three points. On a first down with slightly more
than four minutes remaining, Tampa Bay running back Doug Martin broke free down the right sideline with a clear path to a gameclinching touchdown. Breeland — coming from the opposite side of
the field — was able to push Martin out-of-bounds after 49 yards at
the Washington 5 for a touchdown-saving stop.
Breeland injured his hamstring with the monstrous effort, but
the Redskins’ defense responded by holding the Buccaneers to a
field goal on the drive, allowing the Washington offense to drive
down the field and score a touchdown to complete the largest
comeback in franchise history.
After the game, Head Coach Jay Gruden noted the importance
of Breeland’s stop in the midst of the second-year cornerback’s
career-high 13-tackle day.
“At the end of the day, they score there, the game’s over. That
shows what kind of guy he is,” Gruden said. “I talk about Breeland
being an ultimate competitor. If he takes that one play off, or one
instance and they go up by 10, the game’s over, most likely. And he
hustled, got them down at the five. We got a big stop, held a field
goal, we go down and score.”

TAKEAWAYS
‘COMING IN DROVES’
DeANGELO HALL
Three weeks into the 2015 season, there seemed to be cause
for alarm.
After spending the entire offseason emphasizing the importance of turnovers, Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry’s unit had produced only one takeaway through the Redskins’ first three games,
tied with Jacksonville for the fewest in the NFL.
Defensive back DeAngelo Hall has never been shy about his
point of view during his 13-year NFL career.
But Hall’s literal point of view changed dramatically in 2015, as
after suffering an injury in Week 3, Hall used his five-game absence
to jumpstart his transition from cornerback to safety. Now with a
full offseason at the position under his belt, Hall is intent on seamlessly sliding his playmaking flair from the edges back to his new
home at safety.
Hall follows in the footsteps of the recently retired Charles
Woodson, who parlayed his impressive career at corner into another exemplary run at safety. With Woodson’s retirement, Hall now
enters 2016 as the NFL’s active leader in career interceptions:

Though patience isn’t exactly part of the “Compete. Physical.
Finish.” mission statement that Barry created for his unit, it was
exactly what he practiced. Asked after Week 3 about the team’s
inability to procure takeaways, Barry — who adamantly calls the
statistic “takeaways” instead of “turnovers” — said he knew they
would come in bunches.
“I’m a firm believer too that takeaways come in droves,” Barry
said. “You don’t know when they’re going to happen, you don’t know
when they’re going to come. But it’s something that we preach every single day.”
In the 13 games following those comments, the Redskins recorded 26 takeaways, tied for fifth-most in the NFL in that time
frame.

Hall’s nose for the ball has been his hallmark throughout his
career. In Washington’s division-clinching Week 16 win at Philadelphia last season, Hall recorded a 17-yard fumble return for touchdown, tying Jessie Tuggle for second-most fumble returns for
touchdowns in NFL history (five). In the process, Hall became the

touchdowns and five fumble return touchdowns in a career.

DIVISION PARITY
LONG SCORING DRIVES (2015)
Parity has been a topic de jour in the National Football League
in recent years, and the league-wide trends provide the evidence.
Each year since the 12-team playoff format was adopted in
1990, at least four teams have qualified for the playoffs after missing the postseason the year before.
No division has seen more turnover at the top in the last four
years than the NFC East. Prior to the Redskins’ division title in 2015,
the NFC East held the distinction as the only division in the NFL to
have had all four teams earn a division title in a four-season span
from 2011-14. With their division title in 2015, the Redskins became
the first NFC East team to win two division titles in the last five
years.
The Redskins’ 65 scoring drives in 2015 averaged 8.49 plays,
61.2 yards and 4:08 of possession. Washington’s average scoring
drive length ranked among the longest in the NFL in terms of both
time and average number of plays.

From the second quarter of the Redskins’ Week 2 win vs. St.
Louis through the first half of Washington’s Week 4 win vs. Philadelphia, the Redskins posted eight consecutive scoring drives of 10
plays or more. That streak was snapped when the Redskins scored
on a nine-play drive in the third quarter against the Eagles.
Per the Elias Sports Bureau, prior to the Redskins, the most
recent NFL team to record eight consecutive scoring drives lasting
10 plays or more prior to the 2015 Redskins came in 2007 when the
Indianapolis Colts recorded a streak of nine such drives.
In Week 10, the Redskins scored on eight of their 10 drives.
During the game, the Redskins scored on six consecutive drives.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it marked the first time Redskins had scored on six consecutive drives in a single game since
Dec. 30, 2001.
MAINTAINING DRIVES (2015)
Even on non-scoring drives, the Redskins maintained possession and put together long drives in 2015. The Redskins ranked
sixth in the NFL in 10-play drives.

GAME RELEASE
SPOTLIGHT ON SPECIAL TEAMS
KICKER DUSTIN HOPKINS
PUNTER TRESS WAY
The Redskins surprised many in Week 2 of the 2015 season
when they elected to move on from kicker Kai Forbath, the franchise leader in field goal percentage among players with at least 50
attempts, in favor of signing kicker Dustin Hopkins. At that point,
Hopkins had never appeared in an NFL regular season game since
being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL
Draft.
“You can’t say enough about our kicker, Hopkins,” Gruden said
in late October. “I mean, what he’s done is taken over for an established kicker.”
The results were hard to argue with, as Hopkins supplemented
his field goal kicking (25-of-28, third-best single-season percentage in team history) with his status as a much-needed weapon in
the field position battle.
“You look at the total package of what a kicker needs to bring to
your football team and we were looking for a little bit of a stronger
leg, especially on kickoffs,” Gruden said on the day the team signed
Hopkins. “That’s the bottom line.”
Across the 2013-14 seasons, the Redskins ranked third-to-last
in the NFL in touchback percentage, recording touchbacks on only
34.0 percent of kickoffs. In 2015, Hopkins registered touchbacks
on 52-of-76 kickoffs (68.4 percent), the ninth-best percentage of
any NFL kicker.
Though the Redskins have been pleased with Hopkins’ ability
to boot the ball 75 yards through the back of the end zone, his ability to get it to stop and turn on a dime after 10 yards was vital to
a Redskins’ victory against Tampa Bay in Week 7. After facing an
early 24-0 deficit, the Redskins scored late in the first half and at
the start of the second half to cut the lead to 24-14, at which point
Gruden and Special Teams Coordinator Ben Kotwica turned to Hopkins to deliver a surprise onside kick early in the third. Receiver
Rashad Ross batted the skidding ball to safety Trenton Robinson,
ending a league-wide 0-for-24 skid on onside kick attempts to start
the 2015 season. The onside kick helped jumpstart the Redskins en
route to recording the largest comeback victory in franchise history.
Since his arrival in January 2015, General Manager Scot McCloughan has stressed multiple desires. One was to create competition at every position, and another was for the team to reward its
own players who performed at high levels.
Punter Tress Way is emblematic of both ideals.
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 Way off waivers from Chicago on Aug. 20 that
year. Way was given 10 days to stake a claim to the punting job.
Way accomplished the feat and has since posted historically
relevant numbers, earned the special teams captaincy in 2015 and
been rewarded with a multi-year contract extension in 2016.
In 2014, Way’s punting numbers rewarded the coaching staff’s
faith. Way averaged 47.5 yards per punt, the 35th-best single-season average in NFL history and the highest by a Redskins player
since World War II.
Way finished the season averaging 47.5 yards per punt to rank
fourth in team history, trailing only Sammy Baugh’s full-season NFL
record (51.4 yards per punt in 1940) and Baugh’s 1941 and 1942
campaigns (48.7 and 48.2). Way became the first member of the
Redskins to lead the NFL in punting for a season since Sam Baker
in 1958 (45.4). It marked the seventh time a Redskins player had
led the league in punting average dating back to 1939 (Baker once,
Baugh five times — 1940-43, 1945).
“His onside kicks, they’re like magic balls. I don’t
know how he keeps them in play.”
Though Way was new to Washington in 2014, he was 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.”
“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 roster.
- Head Coach Jay Gruden
The kick was the Redskins’ first successful onside attempt
since Nov. 4, 2007 at the New York Jets (Shaun Suisham, recovered
by Rock Cartwright). It was only the fourth successful onside kick
by the Redskins since the turn of the century and ended a streak
of 18 unsuccessful onside kick attempts by the Redskins over the
past nine seasons.

Hopkins spent the 2015 offseason with the New Orleans Saints
and got a small measure of revenge against his former team in
Week 10 last year, converting 4-of-4 field goal attempts and 5-of-5
extra point attempts in a 47-14 rout. His 17 points tied the most by
a Redskins kicker in a single game since the 1970 merger, as the
17-point mark had previously been reached by Chip Lohmiller (Dec.
30, 1990 vs. Buffalo) and Mark Moseley (Oct. 17, 1983 at Green Bay).

GM SCOT MCCLOUGHAN
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR SEAN McVAY
‘Look at the film. It doesn’t lie’
He’s the NFL’s Best Head Coaching Candidate. And He’s 30.
Meet Sean McVay.
By Charles Robinson, Yahoo! Sports
June 15, 2016
ASHBURN, Va. – On many days, before most people were rubbing
the sleep out of their eyes, Washington Redskins general manager
Scot McCloughan was climbing a staircase around the corner from
his office at the team’s headquarters. Often, he would sit down and
swivel his chair in the direction of a conference room where an endless stream of practice tape awaited his staff. On his left, a wall of
televisions might be flickering with some form of NFL Films. Highlights of Jerry Rice or Joe Greene. A top-10 list of running backs.
Maybe a documentary on quarterbacks.
It has been like this for McCloughan for a few years now. Visitors might come in and stare over their shoulder, making conversation about a particular player. But to McCloughan, he would always
see teams in the footage, not players. He would see cultures. That’s
what commanded his attention. So while a visitor on Tuesday arrived and asked about cornerback Josh Norman, McCloughan’s entry into the conversation was to speak about the team around him.
“We’re quicker,” McCloughan said Tuesday. “Bigger, younger,
faster, more competitive.”
He leaned forward.
“The culture is what I want to build,” he said. “If we win a championship, that would be awesome. But I want guys to understand
the importance of being a team. It’s not about the individuals. It’s
the sum of the parts. … We’re not close to where we need to be yet,
but it’s going in the right direction. Definitely.”
Make no mistake, the Redskins are better. But they are still a
Josh Norman story. Rarely is a team gifted the unexpected opportunity to sign an All-Pro cornerback, especially one who was coming off a career season and a Super Bowl appearance. That said,
Norman is only one point of light for a Redskins franchise that is
suddenly looking remarkably intriguing heading into the offseason
break. And McCloughan is at the center of that.
A little over 17 months ago, the Redskins hired him to revamp
the talent base. And with his second training camp less than two
months away, the results are already obvious. The NFL is no longer
a league of three-year plans. Every position is basically an annual
scholarship – and renewal is never a given. As McCloughan put it,
“You’ve got to rock and roll.” That, or the NFL tour moves on without
you.
So here the Redskins are, with energy and airiness that is a departure from this time one year ago. Quarterback Robert Griffin is
gone, taking with him an atmosphere of anxiety over what might be
said next, what might be tweeted, whether or not the next day would
feature an unexpected news conference or disjointed quote in the
media. That alone has made the quarterbacks meeting room more
manageable. Meanwhile, Griffin’s presumed long-term replacement, Kirk Cousins, hasn’t locked in a long-term deal – yet there
is little worry on either side of the negotiating table that things will
take a turn for the ugly. If Cousins gets his deal done, both sides will
rejoice. If he doesn’t, both sides still know it’s in everyone’s best interests that he take a step forward in his development. If that happens, everyone wins. It will cost the Redskins more, but the price
tag will also come with some peace of mind.
As for Norman, he was an unexpected blessing. But one that
Washington deserves some credit for reeling in. The New Orleans
Saints were readying themselves to take their best shot at Norman
in free agency, but never got their chance. Once they saw the red
carpet treatment Norman was getting on his visit to Washington,
they began shutting down some salary cap shuffling that would
have allowed them to make an offer. The Saints saw it quickly. Once
McCloughan got Norman into the building, he wasn’t leaving without a deal in place.

August 2, 2016
It’s a Tuesday night in June, and Washington’s football headquarters are mostly empty. It’s been a few hours since the second
day of the team’s final minicamp practice wrapped up, and offensive coordinator Sean McVay is in his spacious corner office,
watching film on a flat screen. There’s a light tap on the open door.
It’s Bill Callahan, the coaching lifer who now oversees Washington’s O-line. His eyes are twinkling. Really twinkling, like in a Disney
cartoon. He has an idea for a new run play.
From behind his desk McVay leans forward as Callahan draws
on a white board. “And so you know how we usually do this against
these defensive fronts?” Callahan says. “Well, OK, OK, OK, follow me
here. What if we, instead, were to do this?” He redraws the running
back’s path to the other side of the formation, and now his eyes are
twinkling even more.
So are McVay’s. “I love it,” McVay says, adding that Washington
could also use it as a check (an audible) at the line of scrimmage.
For the next 10 minutes, McVay, the NFL’s youngest coordinator at
30, and Callahan, a month shy of his 60th birthday, go back and
forth, rapid fire, about when and how they can practice this new
play; what they’ll tell the guards and centers to do; what they’ll tell
the quarterback to look for; and how they’ll instruct the running
backs to set up the cut.
Callahan got his first coaching job, at the University of Illinois,
six years before McVay was born. He was head coach of the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII, when McVay was 16. Asked
whether he has any issue working under someone half his age, Callahan quickly answers no. “[He] is in this position for a reason… he’s
earned it.”
And at this rate, McVay won’t be in this position for much longer.
Last season, his seventh as an NFL coach and first as a play-caller,
he and head coach Jay Gruden took an unproven first-year starting
quarterback and turned Washington into the league’s sixth most
efficient passing game and 10th highest scoring offense.
“I’m sure,” says Gruden, “he’ll be a head coach a lot sooner than
people think.”
After Callahan leaves, McVay restarts the film. There are no wife
and kids to get home to. He watches spring practice and raves about
Kirk Cousins’ underrated quick release. “OK, OK, let’s look at just
one more throw,” he says for a fourth time. Jordan Reed catches a
touchdown. “Now that’s a dime. Look at that throw! That’s a dime!”
When the film ends, McVay puts on an old TV copy of the 1981
NFC championship, when Joe Montana and the 49ers defeated the
Cowboys on a come-from-behind drive, culminating with The Catch.
“Look at them march down the field,” he announces. “People think
it’s Joe Montana winning this game. No sir. It’s this [smashmouth
run play] ‘18-19 Bob!’ Look at all these extra bodies in the backfield.
Here’s ‘18-19 Bob’ again!”
Dwight Clark makes The Catch. All done now, time for dinner?
“People also forget how much of an opportunity Dallas had after
this play,” McVay says, settling in to now watch the forgotten proceeding Cowboys drive. (It ended with a lost sack-fumble on San
Francisco’s 44-yard line.)
McVay wasn’t born until four years after the ’81 Niners’ Super
Bowl run, but he has a special connection to the team: His grandfather, John McVay, was its VP/Director of Football Operations. That
year produced the first of John’s astounding five Super Bowl rings
during his 20 years heading San Francisco’s front office.
Sean, of course, grew up during the back half of his grandfather’s tenure. He lived in Atlanta and played catch with Jerry Rice
and Steve Young whenever the Niners made their annual trip to
town.
“I can remember being around those guys, being around Jeff
Garcia and Terrell Owens,” he says. “They were always so great to
me. At the time I was so young, you don’t realize what a unique and
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
neat experience it was.”
McVay played soccer as a youth. He took up football formally in
eighth grade and went on to be a star option quarterback at Marist
High, in Georgia’s ultra-competitive 4A class. “He was like a coach
on the field,” says Marist coach Alan Chadwick, who’s been at the
school for 30 years. “He saw things that a lot of players don’t see.
He felt things a lot players don’t feel. And he was able to adapt and
make things happen on his own.”
An elected captain, McVay after the season would take all of his
offensive linemen to the Brazilian Steakhouse Fogo de Chão. “You
don’t hear about that very often in high school,” says Chadwick.
“You hear about it in college. Maybe in pros.”
McVay grew up in a traditional two-parent household. His father,
Tim, a veteran TV news executive, played safety for Lee Corso at
Indiana. There Tim met Sean’s mother, Cindy, who now owns an interior design business and helped her son buy and furnish his first
town home after getting promoted to coordinator.
“Sean’s mom and dad are very comfortable in their skin,” says
Chadwick. “And very comfortable in any atmosphere, any situation.
Socially. In groups. Speaking in front of people. They’re just such
class individuals. And so much of that, you can tell, rubbed off on
Sean.”
When visiting with McVay, you notice the confidence and vibrancy. You also notice the uncanny similarities to Jon Gruden. From
the eyebrow cocking to the affirmative nodding and exaggerated,
slow-motion hand gestures; it can feel like McVay is flat-out impersonating the Super Bowl winning coach. “Everyone teases him
that he’s Baby Jon,” says former Washington tight end Chris Cooley.
“His mannerisms are more like Jon’s than Jay [Gruden]’s are.”
There’s an explanation for that. In 2008, shortly before McVay
graduated from Miami (Ohio), where his career as a receiver and return specialist was hindered by injuries, he went to the NFL combine
in Indianapolis and interviewed for a job with Jon Gruden, a longtime family friend. Gruden hired him as an assistant wide receivers
coach. McVay started immediately after graduating, skipping the
graduation ceremony to get to the team’s offseason program.
After that first year, Gruden and his entire staff were fired—
something McVay calls a blessing in disguise. He spent the 2009
season with the UFL’s Florida Tuskers, under head coach Jim Haslett (fired by the Rams after ’08) and with a little-known offensive coordinator named Jay Gruden. The Tuskers started 6-0 and
reached the championship, but really, what defined that season for
the coaches was the creation of Jon Gruden’s now famous Fired
Football Coaches Association (FFCA). McVay spent hours each day
in the classroom with Haslett and the Grudens. Reputed football experts from all over were flown in as speakers. Jon ran most of the
meetings, and there was nowhere to hide. Attendees had to answer
pop questions, get up and draw on the board and think miles outside the box. It was, as Cindy McVay puts it, like getting your masters in coaching.
Jay even says “I learned more about coaching football in those
FFCA meetings than I probably did in seven years working for my
brother.”
In 2010, McVay got an opportunity to interview with Washington’s Mike Shanahan for an offensive quality control job. The conversation transitioned from computers and data processing to actual football, and after a few hours Shanahan hired him on the spot.
That year McVay worked quality control and also as an assistant to
receivers coach Keenan McCardell. Then, with four weeks left in the
season, tight ends coach Jon Embree left to take the head job at
Colorado. McVay was promoted, and just like that, Washington had
a 24-year-old running its tight ends meetings. In those meetings
was the 28-year-old Cooley, a two-time Pro Bowler, and 24-year-old
Fred Davis, who had been a second-round pick three years earlier.
“It didn’t matter where Sean came from, how old he was—the
dude knew it better than anyone else,” says Cooley. “He was the
best.
“I remember, in the first week that he took over, I was finally being coached intricately on some of the things that go into the tight
end position. He taught every tiny nuance. I wish I would’ve gotten
to work with him a lot longer. I loved all the coaches that I played for.
I absolutely did. But I would’ve been better if I had worked with Sean
for my entire career. I have no doubt about that.”
Shanahan never had any concerns about appointing such a
young coach. “Players want to be taught,” he says. “If you can teach
a player something that can keep him in the game, whatever it may
be, they don’t care about your age.
“Getting a chance to watch Sean coach and handle himself, I
knew he was going to be a coordinator and eventually a head coach
in the National Football League.”
In 2014, Shanahan was fired and replaced by Jay Gruden, who
had been the offensive coordinator in Cincinnati. At his introductory
press conference, a reporter told Gruden there was a rumor that
he would tab McVay as his offensive coordinator. “Nice, good for
Sean,” Gruden said. And that, essentially, was how people learned
who the new offensive coordinator was.
As Gruden explains, “Sean was here with Robert Griffin before I
got the job, and with Kirk. He kind of knew the players that we had
and the system that they ran. So I could try to transform a lot of my
stuff into their language and it would be a smooth process.”
In 2015, Gruden quietly handed play-calling duties to McVay.
Kirk Cousins was the new starting QB after spending the entire offseason working behind Griffin. (A lot of wasted practice reps those
turned out to be.) In the second half of the season, Cousins threw
for 2,212 yards, 19 touchdowns and two interceptions (passer rating: 126.1). Washington surged to an NFC East title.
What stood out again and again on film was how few plays the
quarterback himself had to actually create. Washington’s system,
with its array of formations, intertwined route combinations and
zone running game married to play-action, was often defining the
plays for him. Schematically, there may not have been a better-designed offense in football. Cousins, to his credit, allowed it to function and prospered under the circumstances.
“I could be here a long time talking about Sean’s help in my development and his ability to call plays for our offense and lead our
offense,” says Cousins. “In the 2015 offseason I was coming off a
year when I had been benched halfway through and was going into
the next year with the chance to really only compete as a backup. I
was a little disappointed with that and Sean was a great encourager
through that process, challenging me to stay the course. I think his
belief in me and his support and his encouragement was what enabled me to eventually have the opportunities that I had.”
From a pure strategic standpoint, Cousins explains that “part of
the reason our offense has a lot of depth is because a lot of different guys get to touch the ball. That goes back to play-calling and
the way Sean aligns players. You have to be creative with [weapons
like] Jordan Reed, DeSean Jackson. That takes a lot of preparation
and creativity and Sean does it on a week-in, week-out basis.”
Jackson took the rare personal measure of sitting down with an
unknown media member to laud his coach. “Sean’s young but he’s
still one of those guys that wants everything done right,” Jackson
says. “He wants you to pay attention. He wants you to know what
you need to do. And he’s very detailed about it. He breaks everything down in meetings. There’s nothing he doesn’t notice. He hits
every part of the game.”
America wasn’t introduced to McVay until last season’s WildCard round, when FOX put him on full screen and analyst Troy Aikman sang his praises. Washington lost that day, scoring only 18
points, but that was not reflective of the game-planning. In the first
quarter Jackson left a touchdown on the field by failing to explode
to the front pylon on a crossing route. (Washington had first-andgoal from the one-yard-line and wound up kicking a field goal. McVay regrets running the ball twice on the first two downs that followed.) On the following series, a designed play-action deep shot
got Jackson wide open over the top for a touchdown. However, the
TV audience didn’t see that because Green Bay’s Julius Peppers
beat offensive tackle Mike Compton around the edge to create a
sack for Clay Matthews. People in the NFL noticed it on film, though.
The score at that point would have been 12-0 Washington, if not for
the sack.
Only two men in NFL history have become head coaches before
age 32: Lane Kiffin with the 2007 Raiders and Harland Svare with
the 1962 Rams. Both were short-tenured and neither had a season
above .500. Perhaps that’s why McVay is eager but not necessarily
antsy to land a head job.
“What’s absolutely incredible is Sean doesn’t have any ego,”
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
says Cooley. “He will never say he believes he’s great. He knows
he’s great at what he’s doing, but he’ll never tell you. He’ll be a head
coach. And it won’t be long.”
McVay frequently uses the word “process” and values the personal growth that “processes” can bring. But another strong season
as a play-caller, and NFL executives could stop whispering his name
and actually start knocking. Like Callahan did after that minicamp,
they’ll find the door open, McVay at his desk, ready to talk football.
DL CHRIS BAKER
Baker’s Double: Chris Baker settles into comfortable roles with
Redskins, family
By Anthony Gulizia, The Washington Times
April 14, 2016
Chris Baker waited anxiously at Reston Hospital Center. Hours
later, on this early Thursday morning in January, his Washington
Redskins teammates would be preparing for their playoff matchup
against the Green Bay Packers. The defensive end was not going to
be there.
His wife, Jamila, was ready to give birth to their daughter, Aria,
and Baker was not going to miss it. He didn’t want to fall behind on
the field, either, so he watched film of the Packers on his iPad while
he waited.
The Packers’ offensive line, mangled by injuries, limped through
the last two games of the regular season and allowed 13 sacks.
Baker anticipated opportunities to get to quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which also meant a chance to dance, something Baker did frequently last season as he recorded a career-high six sacks.
“Man, it feels so good to really go out there and let loose,” Baker
said. “Every time I get a big play, I need the people to know who I
am, so I celebrate.”
If Baker sacked Rodgers — and he nearly did on the second play
of the game — his fun-loving personality was going to take a backseat to the feelings of a proud, new father.
“I was going to rock the baby,” Baker recalled recently, his voice
still bubbling with excitement at the idea of it.
Baker had to shelf the celebration — he never sacked Rodgers —
but he hasn’t stopped enjoying what has been the best year of his
life. He married Jamila on March 14, 2015, a perfect prelude to having a breakout season while playing alongside his childhood friend,
nose tackle Terrance Knighton. The loss to the Packers was disappointing, but Baker was buoyed by the birth of his daughter and the
excitement of spending the offseason with his new family.
Now, as Baker enters the final season of his three-year contract,
he’s not stressed about what lies ahead. Instead, he is sharply focused on making sure his future, both on and off the field, just
keeps getting better from here.
“They say a man that finds his wife finds favor in the Lord,” Baker said. “Ever since I’ve gotten married, it’s been a great story. I had
my best season as a professional, now having my daughter. It’s just
blessing after blessing.”
Earning his keep
The timing was too perfect to let the opportunity slip last offseason. The Redskins were originally interested in Knighton, then a
free agent after two seasons with the Denver Broncos, and Knighton was in Washington to stand by Baker’s side as the best man in
his wedding.
“I talked to anybody who would listen about bringing the guy in,”
Baker said.
Baker and Knighton had dinner on Thursday night, and Knighton signed a one-year deal with the Redskins the next morning, the
day before Baker’s wedding. Their childhood dream of playing in the
NFL together, one that manifested from a friendship rooted at the
intersection of Westland and Garden streets in Hartford, Connecticut, was coming true.
“I was extremely happy,” Baker said. “I knew how good of a player Terrance is and I knew how good he could make me. To have a guy
like Terrance take up two people, that had to leave me one-on-one
with anybody.”
Although the two were now teammates, it was unclear how often
they’d actually see the field together. Baker had a strong season
in 2014 — the first of a three-year, $12 million deal he signed that
February — and anticipated being the starting left defensive end in
2015. There was a roadblock, though, and it was an expensive one.
The Redskins signed defensive end Stephen Paea to a four-year,
$21 million contract. After campaigning for his best friend to join
the team, Baker was uncertain about his future.
In Week 3 of the preseason, the team’s final dress rehearsal
against the Baltimore Ravens, Baker had a sack and a forced fumble. However, Paea remained the starter on the depth chart to start
the regular season, though Baker played more snaps than Paea and
outperformed him in each of the first three games.
“It was just stressful for me,” Baker said. “It was frustrating
those first three weeks, because I’m [wondering], ‘Why am I not
starting? What didn’t I do to earn my starting position?’”
Against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4, the Redskins opened
in their nickel formation, which meant only two linemen, Knighton
and Jason Hatcher, were on the field. Baker was finally going to get
his chance. On the Eagles’ third offensive play, Baker sacked quarterback Sam Bradford. He added another in the second quarter for
the first multi-sack performance of his career.
“It’s a performance-based business,” Redskins coach Jay
Gruden said the next day, explaining why he gave Baker the unofficial start. “In order to keep your job, you have got to perform at a
high level. That’s what we’re expecting from all our guys.”
The following week against the Atlanta Falcons, Baker started
and recorded another sack. It became more obvious than ever that
the starting job was his. Baker, once an undrafted free agent from
Hampton and practice squad player for three teams, including the
Redskins, went on to start nine of the next 11 games. He emerged as
the Redskins’ most consistent pass rusher along the defensive line.
“I understood what it was about, the business, but at the same
time I’m a competitor,” Baker said. “And when I earn something, give
it to me. It’s not like you’re giving me something I didn’t earn. I knew
when the team pays a guy X amount of dollars, they’re going to see
if he works out and see what he can do, but I just always felt like all
I needed was a chance.”
That chance meant regular playing time together for Baker and
Knighton, which was the way they always intended for it to be. Back
in Connecticut, Ken Smith beamed with pride each week as the
season unfolded. Before Baker and Knighton starred on the football
field together — Baker didn’t start playing until Knighton convinced
him to do so his junior year at Windsor High School — they dominated opponents as bullish post players on Smith’s basketball team.
Smith would drive his team along the East Coast in a ragged,
gray van courtesy of the police department — the words “Police
Athletic League” stamped on the side — each year to play the summer circuit. Once, Baker and Knighton made a promise.
“The both of them stopped and said, ‘Coach, when we make it,
we’re gonna buy you a new van,’” Smith recalled. “And I said, ‘Wow,
that’s nice of you,’ but I didn’t think nothing of it then. I’m just so
glad that they made it.”
Then Smith paused, before letting out a laugh.
“But I’m still waiting on that van.”
‘A valuable lesson’
Marion Baker always warned his son to run away from trouble,
not toward it.
“Don’t be the first one to get there and the last one to leave,” he
cautioned. “If something breaks out, you’re going to be the last face
they remember.”
Baker could hardly help himself. With an infectious personality
and an unmistakable laugh, Baker sought to entertain in any setting. That also meant telling juicy stories, letting nothing stop him
from getting the details, which almost always lead him to trouble.
“If I saw a fight, I need to see it all,” Baker said. “I needed to tell
you who threw the first punch, who threw the last, who won, who
said what. I was always that person.”
That’s why in April 2007, the spring after Baker’s redshirt freshman season at Penn State, he ended up in downtown State College
when a massive brawl broke out at an off-campus apartment. Baker
and several teammates arrived after safety Anthony Scirrotto was
involved in an altercation in the street, which started after some-
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
body insulted Scirrotto’s girlfriend.
Later in October, during a fraternity party at the university’s student union, a fight began outside between linebacker NaVorro Bowman and another fraternity brother from another university. When
police arrived, a group of football players was surrounding the fight.
Baker, along with Bowman, was identified as a main suspect.
Baker initially received felony charges in both incidents, though
he maintains he never threw a punch.
“When the [April] fight started happening, I realized there was
no need for me to fight,” Baker said. “The bad part was a fight happened and I went there. I was stuck in a bad position because I
wasn’t going to snitch on my teammates, but I wasn’t going to go to
jail for something I didn’t do, either.”
In the October incident, Baker tried breaking up the altercation
and was misidentified as defensive tackle Phil Taylor, who was later
charged for his role in the fight. Penn State’s office of judicial affairs cleared Baker from the incident, but he was still being charged
in Centre County Court.
According to public records, Baker ultimately pleaded guilty to
simple assault, a misdemeanor of the second degree, in both incidents. He also pleaded guilty to defiant trespassing, a misdemeanor of the third degree, from the April incident. He was sentenced to
two years probation in May 2008, and in two months later coach
Joe Paterno kicked Baker and Taylor off the team.
“That was the hardest time of my son’s life, but as a father, my
words of encouragement were, ‘It’s going to be OK,’” Marion Baker
said. “It was an unfortunate situation what happened, but it taught
him a valuable lesson.”
From that troubling moment, Baker’s path to becoming a prominent NFL pass rusher was a winding one that tested his faith. After a year at Hampton in which Baker excelled, he declared for the
2009 draft but wasn’t selected. There were short stints with the
Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins before Baker signed with the
Redskins’ practice squad in 2011.
After spending most of the year on the practice squad, he was
signed to the active roster on Dec. 6. The next day, he tore his right
quadriceps trying to dunk a basketball before a walkthrough, which
ended his season and crushed his hopes of playing against the New
England Patriots that week.
“When it happened, I was so embarrassed because I didn’t
want to get cut,” Baker said. “For some reason, they kept me. I was
supposed to be out of there. I never knew if I would be back in the
league again.”
Baker played in 29 games the next two seasons. In 2012, he was
the backup nose tackle after Chris Neild tore an ACL in the preseason. Retained as a restricted free agent in 2013, Baker started
the final three games of the season and was rewarded with his current three-year deal.
“That year, I didn’t know what my worth was,” Baker said. “In my
mind, if I got a two-year deal for $4 million, I would’ve been happy
with that. I just kept on praying. When my agent called me and said
the Redskins offered three years for $12 million, I broke down crying.”
For Baker, solidifying his role on the Redskins’ roster required a
feverish work ethic, but that was never an issue. In order for all this
to happen, he had to mature as an individual. That was an equally
gradual process, one that began in earnest his first day at Hampton
and continued during his ascent to the top of the Redskins’ depth
chart in 2015.
Those close to Baker have seen him come full circle. Ohio State
assistant head coach and defensive line coach Larry Johnson Sr.
visited Baker during organized team activities last spring. Johnson, who coached Baker on the defensive line at Penn State, helped
guide him to Hampton and supported him following the expulsion.
While Johnson has kept in touch with Baker, last year marked
the first time that Johnson saw Baker in person since he was kicked
off the team.
“When you face adversity early in your life, that changes you,
and it changed Chris in the right ways,” Johnson said. “When I saw
him at camp, we just hugged like little kids. The first thing he said
was, ‘Thanks, Coach,’ and I said ‘No, thank you for being who you
are.’ That’s what coaching is all about. You cheer for guys like that.
I’m happy with where he’s at in his life right now. I really am.”
Embracing change
This offseason started the same as the last, with Baker making
a spirited pitch to Knighton to remain with the Redskins. The nose
tackle ultimately chose to sign with the Patriots, marking a bittersweet ending to their single season together.
With Hatcher gone as well, Baker expects an increased role in
the locker room, one that began manifesting itself last season.
“I felt like I took on that leadership role,” Baker said. “Just seeing the younger guys and giving them advice on how to become a
professional, or what I did to last in this league as long as I’ve been
in it as an undrafted guy.”
Part of that longevity is finding ways to keep improving, which
is why Baker has been working tirelessly with Tobe Stevens at Enhanced Training Champions in Largo, Maryland. The goal is for Baker to increase his speed off the line of scrimmage, something he
struggled with last season. With a quicker jump, he can pressure
the quarterback more consistently — the key to remaining a prominent defensive end.
Better pressure means more sacks — and most importantly —
more chances for Baker to let loose and celebrate.
After all, he never did get to rock the baby in that loss to the
Packers. Perhaps he’ll save it.
QB KIRK COUSINS
Kirk Cousins says he won’t change, even with $20 million deal
By Jim Trotter, ESPN.com
March 18, 2016
KAPALUA, Hawaii -- The thick beard has been replaced by stubble that comes from going a day without shaving. That might be
the only thing different about Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins since he signed his franchise tender, a one-year contract worth
nearly $20 million.
The intensity and drive that marked his surprising rise last year
in his first full season as a starter are still evident when you speak
to him. He insists that determination won’t diminish despite being
scheduled to earn nearly $17.5 million more than he did in his first
four seasons combined.
“I never played football thinking about money, and going forward
I never want to play football thinking about money,” Cousins said.
“That’s why I think it’s important for me to play with a salary that’s
just locked in. I don’t want to be thinking about individual accomplishments or rewards that would boost my salary or up my numbers. I just want to go out and play football and try and win games.
So whether I’m making what I made last year [$660,000] or this
year, I just want to play football and treat it like I did back in high
school and love playing. It’s a tremendous blessing to be paid to
play this game the way I will this year.”
Cousins and Washington have until July 15 to negotiate a multiyear contract, but the former Michigan State star said he’s comfortable playing under the franchise tag for 2016 if a long-term
agreement fails to materialize.
“Discussions are always ongoing,” he said. “You’re never really
finished. It’s a process and I think much like the process of preparing for a football game, you’re not ready to play the game on
Wednesday; you prepare to get ready for Sunday. I think negotiations often work that way. You know that maybe it’s not Sunday yet
-- it’s Wednesday in this negotiation -- and we’re just taking steps
toward what will eventually be Sunday. So we’ll see. Obviously it
gets more interesting as it gets closer to ‘game day,’ if you will.
“But I’m not too worried about it. I’m very content in the situation
I’m in and love the opportunity to prove myself again next season.
I feel like it’s only fair if that’s what’s asked of me -- to go out and
prove it, that I ought to be a starting quarterback. That’s OK with
me.”
Many were stunned last year when Cousins was named the
starter shortly before the season opener. The job was supposed
to belong to Robert Griffin III, for whom Washington surrendered
three first-round picks and a second-round selection to move up
four spots and draft No. 2 overall in 2012. Cousins was taken three
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
rounds and 100 picks later in the same draft.
Griffin started his career spectacularly, winning offensive rookie
of the year after completing 65.5 percent of his passes for 3,200
yards and 20 touchdowns, with just five interceptions. He also
rushed for 815 yards and seven scores. But injuries and inconsistency took hold from there, eventually prompting coach Jay Gruden
to name Cousins the starter before Week 1 last season.
It was a bumpy ride early. Cousins had only limited opportunities
to work with the starters in training camp, and the lack of chemistry showed. He threw multiple interceptions in four of his first
six games, each contributing to a loss. Things got worse in Week
7, when Washington fell behind Tampa Bay 24-0 midway through
the second quarter. Did Gruden make a mistake naming the starter?
Was Cousins in over his head?
Cousins answered by leading the biggest comeback in franchise
history, his 6-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Reed with 24 seconds to play producing a 31-30 victory that kicked off a march to
the playoffs. Washington finished 7-3 over its final 10 games, with
Cousins throwing for 23 touchdowns and only three interceptions
during that time. It marked not only a tremendous finish to the season, but an interesting start to contract negotiations. In essence,
Washington has said to him: We like you a lot, but we’d like you even
more if you showed us you could do it again.
“There’s no doubt that next year if I’m playing on the tag it’s a
great opportunity to prove yourself again, and that’s OK,” Cousins
said. “I think that’s part of playing in this league and being in a lot
of pressure situations and facing a lot of scrutiny. ... I was a much
better quarterback going into that playoff game than I was going
into Week 1, and I guess that’s why there’s a lot of excitement going
forward ‘cause you feel like if that much growth could take place
-- not just in me as a player, but in our offense and in our team in 17
weeks -- why can’t we continue to grow and take steps forward in
our offseason program and training camp and go into another season? I think a lot of us are excited, especially on the offensive side
of the ball, for some of the chemistry we’ve been able to build and
the future that lies ahead. I think the key is to not get complacent.”
The team and the offense now belong to Cousins for the foreseeable future. Washington left no doubt when it released Griffin
on March 7.
“It was a good relationship,” Cousins said of his time with Griffin.
“I go back to the very first day in Washington. He and I were roommates in the hotel at rookie minicamp and he had a laptop already
and had already picked up some of the offense, and he sat me down
and started showing me some of the plays he’d already learned and
gave me the chance to continue to get a head start at rookie minicamp. That kind of relationship continued on from there for four
years, and it wasn’t a distraction at all in Year 4.
“He was a great teammate throughout the season and supportive, and he had a lot of experience having played a lot and was able
to be a big help to me. So, it was a positive thing. ... It was a good
relationship and I’ve always felt that way.”
Cousins is in Hawaii for the NFL Players Association meetings.
Executive director DeMaurice Smith repeatedly stresses the need
for players to see football as a business and not just a game. Cousins took those words to heart during contract negotiations, acknowledging that he heard outside comments that he should take
a lesser salary so the team could have more money to sign other
players.
“I understand all perspectives on the issue,” he said. “I, as a fan,
would understand why you’d say ‘take a discount.’ It certainly opens
up salary cap space; it’s gonna make it a lot easier on a general
manager, on a team, to be able to have success. I understand where
they’re coming from. It’s a little more complicated than that, but everybody’s entitled to their own opinion and I’m certainly not gonna
tell them that they have to think a certain way.”
Will money change Cousins? Those who know him doubt it. But
the fifth-year veteran does admit that financial stability will bring
about one change. That 2000 GMC van he drove to and from work
in the past? It will be replaced -- or dare we say complemented?
-- by a new vehicle.
“I’m gonna have that van as long as possible. Even when it dies
I may just put a new engine in it and rebuild it for the sentimental
value,” Cousins said. “Whether I drive it to work or not on a daily
basis, like I did last year, that probably won’t happen. I’ll probably
get a car to go to work back and forth. But it becomes a great car
when family comes to town for games. FedEX Field’s an hour and a
half away from where I live in Ashburn, Virginia, so it’s a nice, comfortable ride for seven to eight people. They’ll come into town and
all need a way to go to the game and we’ve got a TV in there, we’ve
got a lot of leg room. So the van will stay and, if nothing else, will be
a great way to get to and from games.
“So if you come to FedEx Field you’ll see me driving off in that.
Hopefully after a big win.”

It’s time for Kirk Cousins to prove his play is as steady as his
character
By Jerry Brewer, The Washington Post
July 28, 2016
RICHMOND — Kirk Cousins addressed the most pressing matter
first.
No, he didn’t drive his conversion van to training camp. What?
Was there something else you expected him to discuss?
“The conversion van didn’t make it down because I left it at Redskins Park for the summer, and I went to turn it back on, and the battery was dead,” said the Washington quarterback, who is known to
drive the 16-year-old van he bought from his grandparents around
Ashburn. “I didn’t even get a start at all.”
So he drove his pickup truck here to begin the most important —
and potentially the most illuminating — season of his career. It’s the
same truck that he photographed on Instagram last week with the
bed wrapped in plastic.
“Rainproofing the truck bed for our drive back to Virginia,” he
wrote. “Investing in a cover when I get home.”
That’s Cousins for you. He will make $19.95 million this season,
but he’s still frugal. You might say he’s pinching pennies, but he
probably considers those too valuable even to pinch.
In just about every aspect of his life, there is little concern about
whether Cousins will change. He’ll always have a self-effacing
grace about him. He’ll always be a non-controversial face of the
franchise. He’ll always save — like, a lot — before he spends.
Still, despite setting franchise passing records a year ago and
measuring off the charts in reliability, Cousins faces a 2016 season of necessary confirmation. He doesn’t need to climb the depth
chart and prove he can be an NFL starter anymore. He does need to
show that the steadiness of his game matches his character.
Can Cousins repeat success? Does the quarterback who threw
for 4,166 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2015 represent the true Cousins? Has the young player who lost seven of his first nine career
starts and displayed shaky confidence evolved into the solution for
Washington’s long-standing quarterback problem?
It’s easy to get sidetracked worrying about what Cousins is
worth. He’s playing under the franchise tag, a one-year contract, so
that Washington can be certain of who he is. As you play armchair
general manager, you can get carried away trying to figure out the
best long-term contract for the player and the team. You can grow
too concerned about the cost if Cousins performs as well or — crazy
thought — better than he did in the final 10 games of last season,
when he completed 72.4 percent of his passes and posted a 119.1
passer rating.
Take those thoughts too far, and you can wind up rooting against
the team making progress because Cousins’s performance is so
crucial to results. It’s far more important to Washington’s future
that Cousins, who exudes stability, provide the clarity that the team
needs to do whatever’s necessary to sign him to a multiyear deal.
For a franchise that has endured a seemingly endless search for
quarterback stability, this is an opportunity to remove another burden to this building process.
How much is Cousins worth?
Well, how much is it worth to have a dependable quarterback
year in and year out?
For nearly 25 years, the team’s quarterback situation has doubled as a trivia question. Heck, you could do a whole trivia night
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
asking questions about the Washington players who have held that
position since Mark Rypien made his last start in 1993. Twenty-four
quarterbacks have started at least one game the past 23 seasons.
When Cousins played all 16 regular season games in 2015, he became the first Washington quarterback to do so since Jason Campbell in 2009. Brad Johnson and Gus Frerotte are the only others to
make 16 starts during that time. Campbell is the only one to start 16
in back-to-back seasons.
The Redskins have spent high draft picks, turned to accomplished veterans and rolled with the odd preferences of quarterback-guru head coaches. Nevertheless, they haven’t had a quarterback start the majority of their games for five consecutive seasons
since Rypien. They haven’t had a quarterback hold down the starting job for longer than that since Joe Theismann (1978-85).
Cousins is the latest hope, and while he doesn’t excite you like
Robert Griffin III once did, there’s something about Cousins’s journey that makes his promise feel legitimate. It’s the way he earned it,
rising from a fourth-round pick, rising from early failure, seizing the
opportunity last season when it was finally his. And it’s the growing
sense of stability that surrounds him, making it seem like there is
support in place to help a quarterback grow.
Cousins has a good receiving corps, possibly a great one. There
is a commitment to improving the running game and developing a
potent defense. Cousins has solid relationships throughout the organization. He doesn’t need to be a savior, but the front office is still
open to paying him like an elite quarterback if he performs like one
in a system designed to highlight his strengths and minimize his
weaknesses.
He doesn’t sound like a man under pressure to prove he’s worthy
of a big contract. The quarterback and franchise couldn’t agree on
a deal this offseason, but Cousins still sounds like the happiest man
ever to get the franchise tag. Most players bemoan the lack of longterm security. Cousins welcomes the chance to bet on himself and
show he’s worth even more.
“I think the franchise tag says a lot,” Cousins said when asked
about the team’s confidence in him. “They didn’t have to tag me.
No one forced them to do that. They chose to do that of their own
accord. In this league, it’s one year at a time — whether you’re on a
long-term deal, one-year deal or two-year deal. I mean, I had a fouryear deal as a rookie, but it didn’t feel like a four-year deal. It felt like
a one-day deal every single day I was here. So I don’t think things
have changed a whole lot in that regard.”
In case he wasn’t clear enough about his approach, Cousins
later added: “I’m okay. I’m not lying awake at night. I’m good. I feel
comfortable. I got a pretty good raise this year.”
Pretty good? Cousins made $660,000 last season. This is about
a $19.3 million raise. Yeah, pretty good. It’s just not enough for him
to spare all costs to get the battery fixed in his van. Instead, when
he realized it was dead, he called AAA. When he was told it would
be a while before they could come, he abandoned the quick fix. He
had to get to training camp. He had to go and show that last season
wasn’t a fluke.
“The van will be waiting for me when I get back,” Cousins said.
“Hopefully, my wife will be able to replace the battery while I’m
gone.”
The van will be fine. And if Cousins confirms that he is — finally
— a quarterback that Washington can rely on, his contract will be
resolved, too, no matter the cost.
Washington has had a quarter-century to understand how valuable dependability is at quarterback. The past is why the franchise
was reluctant to go all-in long term this offseason. And the past is
why, if Cousins thrives again, it can’t be shy about rewarding a man
who epitomizes dependability.
S SU’A CRAVENS
Redskins expect Su’a Cravens to man one ‘position’ — playmaker
By Mike Jones, The Washington Post
August 2, 2016
RICHMOND — Grab an ink pen and scratch out the ‘S’ next to
Su’a Cravens’s name on your Redskins roster.
Don’t bother scribbling in ILB to represent inside linebacker, the
position at which he has worked during offseason practices and the
first week of training camp. He’s more of that than he is a safety,
the position at which the team listed Cravens shortly after drafting him in the second round in April. In truth, Cravens — a 6-foot-1,
222-pound Southern California product, who wears No. 36 to honor
his idol, the late Sean Taylor — is probably too athletic and talented
to confine to one position.
So, if you must list something in that column of the roster, just
go with ‘A’ for athlete, or ‘PM’ for playmaker. Because that’s the image of Cravens defensive coordinator Joe Barry has dancing in his
mind.
“In college he changed positions almost every week. He played
safety, he played rover, he played inside, he played outside linebacker,” explained Barry, who recruited Cravens to USC but never
got to coach him there. “But [GM Scot McCloughan], when we draft
players, does a really good job of asking, ‘Where will he play?’ We
don’t get him and then figure out. So my approach from Day 1, was
he’s a linebacker. Does he have some traits where he could play
safety, or a back-end position? Sure. But I think what would benefit
him best was let him play dime linebacker, let’s teach him and throw
him into the fire and have him play inside linebacker — the hardest
position — in base and see where it goes.”
As Barry identified needs for the defense, which surrendered
380.6 yards per game last season, 28th in the league, he believed
he needed a versatile player. One who could cover tight ends and
running backs, run across the field to make a first down-saving
tackle, blitz off the edge, or stonewall a ball carrier at the line. The
player also needed the instincts to know when to remain disciplined,
and when to break the rules and make a play.
Barry says that Cravens, who turned 21 last month, fits that
bill and has all of the “God-given linebacker instincts that you just
can’t teach.” However, the coach has lots of other things to teach
his player: terminology, the tricks to reading quarterbacks and offenses, and how to react accordingly.
And so, to Cravens, outside observers and even some of his
teammates, the going has seemed slow thus far. He spends some
days limited to second- and third-string reps in the base 3-4 defense, playing outside linebacker. Other days, he receives a handful
of snaps with the first team in its nickel package, where he plays
weak-side linebacker. Other times, he has watched more than he
has played. But it’s all part of the education process, and Cravens
understands that.
“I’m just getting used to the playbook right now. I’m a lot more
familiar with the playbook. I’m just trying to be an athlete and make
plays,” Cravens said.
He has made some plays, like the forced fumble in last Friday’s
practice, or the impressive interception of Colt McCoy, where Cravens displayed a great vertical leap and snatched a throw over the
middle.
But some days, Cravens has struggled. He’ll overrun an assignment and find himself out of position to stop a running back in a
cutback lane or get frozen in coverage by a pump fake and fail to
recover in time.
“Unfortunately, some days you get discouraged because you’re
used to making plays. But I’ll be all right,” Cravens said. “Limited
reps, it happens. What do you do? Just a lot of film work and a lot
of mental reps. Even if I’m not in, I put myself in a place where I feel
like I am because I stand there and assess guys as if I was on the
field and take it from there.”
Cravens never relents in his quest for knowledge. Barry said
“Over the summer, there wouldn’t be three days that would go by
that he wouldn’t text me and say, ‘Hey, I was thinking about in this
defense, you know, where should my eyes be? Where should my
hands be?’ And as a coach, you love that because you know he’s
always thinking, ‘Ball.’ ”
Said seventh-year veteran Perry Riley Jr.: “He has a knack for
learning. He’s always asking questions, always wants to know everybody’s position – not necessarily just what they’re telling him to
know. But that’s good, because it helps you learn more when you
know everyone’s responsibilities.”
Barry said he’s “insanely pleased” with the progress Cravens
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
has displayed, and veteran Redskins like what they have seen too,
even if they haven’t yet fully visualized the finished product like
Barry has.
“I haven’t seen a lot,” safety DeAngelo Hall said, “just whenever
he’s kind of out there with us, he’s making a play. . . . He’s a ’tweener,
but he can bang like a linebacker and he can run like a safety. So
right now we’re asking him to play a little linebacker for us. Who
knows in the future where he might be playing. He might back there
playing some safety too.”
Cravens said, “I have no idea,” when asked what the full-fledged
job description will entail. “I’m just trying to use my athleticism and
make plays. They said to expect to be used in a lot of passing situations.”
Clarity will come. By the time the preseason concludes, Barry
hopes to have molded Cravens into a smart, aggressive differencemaker. He might not start, and he won’t be perfect, but Cravens still
should make his presence felt.
“As a coach, I’ve come to a realization of ‘let a guy go play.’ You’ve
got to give him a rule, a responsibility. But sometimes guys, especially like that, that have that instinct and awareness, they might go
rogue and make a play. You’ll be like, ‘Now, dude, you know you were
supposed to be over here.’ And he’ll be like, ‘Yeah, but I just felt it
and ran through the gap and made a play.’ As a coach, you can’t yell
at him for that. You can’t take that away.
“Monday night against Pittsburgh, Week 1, I want him making
plays,” Barry continued. “I don’t ever say, ‘I’m going to spoon-feed
this kid along and hopefully by midseason he’s ready to go.’ Forget
that. I’m greedy and putting the pressure on him right now. I want
him to be a playmaker Week 1.”
LB WILL COMPTON
When opportunity arrived, Redskins linebacker Will Compton
was ready
By Paul Woody, Richmond Times-Dispatch
July 29, 2016
Will Compton did what every young player should do, but few
actually accomplish.
He studied.
He came to the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent
out of Nebraska, which automatically meant he was a long shot to
make the team.
Compton didn’t spend a lot of time engulfed in a “Woe is me.
What’s the use?” attitude.
Instead, he got ready to play, not knowing if he’d ever get a
chance to play.
But he knew if the chance came and he wasn’t prepared, he’d
regret wasting an opportunity.
So he studied the Redskins’ offense. He knew what was coming
as well as — and probably better than — some of the players who
lined up when the second and third groups took the field in training
camp.
“I did the same thing to our offense I do now to another team’s
offense so I could know everything, their verbiage, what they did
when they lined up, I tried understanding all that,” Compton said.
“When I got my few reps, I was able to be very loud, vocal and
confident in what I was saying and very fast.”
Coaches like confident players. They notice those who play fast,
hard and correctly. Compton could do all that because he was informed. He was well-versed in the Redskins’ offense.
And when his chance to play came in a regular-season game
in 2014 because of an injury to inside linebacker Perry Riley Jr.,
Compton didn’t have to think about what to do. He knew what to do.
“I got an opportunity, and I was prepared and took advantage
of it,” Compton said. “That creates more opportunity. There’s definitely some luck involved, but the big emphasis was to control what
I could control, and that was my attitude and effort every day and
preparation away from here (practice).”
Compton stepped in as the starter in 2015 when inside linebacker Keenan Robinson was out with an injury. Compton stayed on the
field. He started 10 games last season and enters the 2016 season
as the starter and leader of the defense.
“He’s a great communicator,” said Redskins coach Jay Gruden.
“He’s a studier of the position. He’s got natural instincts, and he
helps people around him. He gets the calls out. He anticipates plays,
he studies formations, he studies the game plan and gets people in
the right spot and lined up.
“It can become chaotic out there with all the non-huddle teams,
so communication is at a premium, and Will’s excellent at it. He
made our defense better once he was inserted into the starting
lineup.”
Compton, 26, is single.
“Married to the game,” he said.
He studies film five to six days a week. He starts with the coming
opponent’s running game. Day 2, the focus is on the passing game.
Day 3 is devoted to run and pass formations a team seldom uses
but, “You’ve got to be ready for, just in case,” he said.
Days 4 and 5 concern specific situations — what a team does
on third and short and third and long; what a team prefers to run in
the red zone.
By Sunday, “I hope I’ve got it all figured out,” he said.
This exercise in film criticism isn’t done in a matter of minutes.
Some days, Compton arrives at the practice facility at 6 a.m. and
doesn’t leave before 8 p.m. He’s not much for down time. His social
life practically is non-existent during the season.
“I’m in bed at a good hour,” Compton said. “I’m not up all night
watching film. I’m a proponent of putting in good quality time, and it
ends up working out for me.”
It works out for everyone.
This would be pretty heady stuff for an undrafted free agent
if Compton were the type to consider “heady” stuff. He’s too busy
preparing for the next walk-through, practice or game.
“I never doubted myself as far as being able to play in this
league,” Compton said. “It comes down to getting an opportunity
and taking advantage of your opportunity. They’re few and far between and depend on what happens. If everybody stayed healthy
while I was here, the chances of me being here now are slim to
none.”
Compton is a case study in what can happen at the confluence
of talent, opportunity and preparation. They form success.
More young players, and even a few older ones, would do well to
study that formula.
WR JAMISON CROWDER
Jamison Crowder has been overlooked, and he wants to keep it
that way
By Master Tesfatsion, The Washington Post
August 1, 2016
RICHMOND — Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison
Crowder was one of quarterback Kirk Cousins’s top targets last
year. He set the franchise rookie record with 59 receptions and
averaged 10.2 yards per reception in 16 games as the team’s slot
receiver. Still, he’s been overlooked this offseason.
Former Redskins general manager and current NFL Network analyst Charley Casserly sparked an exhausting debate back in May
about which team had the best wide-receiver unit in the league.
Somehow, he didn’t mention Crowder.
With DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, Jordan Reed (who’s technically a tight end but often lines up at wide receiver) and firstround draft pick Josh Doctson on the roster, Crowder has barely
been mentioned ahead of his second season. And that’s exactly
how he likes it.
“I know we have some weapons, but for me I feel like it’s good
when I kind of go under the radar,” Crowder said. “It’s not any pressure. I don’t have to live up to any kind of hype from the media or
anything like that. I actually kind of like it when I’m not mentioned.”
In Monroe, N.C., a town with almost 33,000 people, Crowder
played 1A football and basketball before going to Duke. He was then
taken in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL draft, with 14 wide receiv-
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
ers picked before him in a deep class.
“I’ve always kind of been overlooked to a certain point,” Crowder
said. “It really doesn’t faze me. I just come out here and do what I
can day in and day out. I guess some would say they’d use it as motivation, but for me, I don’t really care about it. I just want to come
out here and be the best player I can be and do my best to help out
the team.”
It’s an ideal situation for him given the recognizable faces around
him, but Crowder will still play a significant role once again in this
offense. He finished third on the team in receptions and receiving
yards (604) last year in 16 games (six starts). He has continued to
show in training camp why he’s a reliable target for Cousins, with
good route-running and hands through three practices.
Crowder began to build confidence during his first camp, and he
said he feels much more comfortable in his role now after his rookie
results.
“I don’t really pay attention to a lot of outside opinions,” Crowder
said. “It is what it is. My main thing is just to come out here and
work. Whenever the ball comes my way or whatever assignment I
have to do, I try to go out there and do it to the best of my ability.”
WR PIERRE GARÇON
Former John I. Leonard WR Pierre Garcon, now with Redskins,
gives away four scholarships
By Jodie Wagner, Palm Beach Post
April 13, 2016
Former John I. Leonard football standout Pierre Garcon returned
to his alma mater Monday to hand out college scholarship to four
unsuspecting students.
Garcon, a wide receiver with the Washington Redskins, presented John I. Leonard seniors Frankeria Henderson, Cody Brown,
Dayeel Dauphine and Daneyika Dauphine with scholarships worth
$2,500 through his Helping Hands Foundation. The students were
chosen for demonstrating growth and improvement both academically and socially.
The winners applied for the scholarships, but were not aware
they were selected to receive them until Monday’s awards presentation.
Garcon, 29, played football at John I. Leonard and later at Norwich (Vt.) University and Mount Union College in Ohio. As a senior
in 2007, he caught 67 passes for 955 yards and 14 touchdowns. He
was an Ohio Athletic Conference first-team selection.
The Indianapolis Colts drafted Garcon in the sixth round of the
2008 NFL Draft. He’s played eight seasons in the NFL with the Colts
and Redskins, catching 485 passes for 6,027 yards and 34 touchdowns.
He was the NFL’s receptions leader in 2013, catching 113 passes
for 1,346 yards.
NT KEDRIC GOLSTON
Survive and advance: Kedric Golston Appreciation Tour
continues with Redskins
By John Keim, ESPN.com
August 3, 2016
RICHMOND, Va. -- Washington Redskins defensive lineman Kedric Golston has spent the last 11 years feeling uncomfortable. The
last thing he wanted to assume -- as a 2006 sixth-round pick who
has rarely been a full-time starter -- was that he had a roster spot.
He watched three head coaches come and go. He watched his
entire draft class from 2006 start and end their careers. He watched
regime change in the front office. And, yet, here sits Golston: Entering his 11th season with the same team that drafted him.
During that time, he has started 51 games -- only eight since
2010 and none the past two years. Yet he’s become an invaluable
member of the franchise. It’s not that they can’t get rid of him; it’s
that they don’t want to. So a fourth head coach now wants him to
start at nose tackle. And the Golston Appreciation Tour continues.
“I think the best way to sum him up is he does whatever is asked
of him and he does his job,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “We
don’t ask him to do a whole lot, but what we do ask of him, he’s going to give it his best every snap, no matter what. That’s Kedric’s
style. It’s hard to separate yourself from a guy like that because
he’s such a great team player, he’s a great leader, works extremely
hard and does exactly what’s asked of him.”
That’s one of the secrets to lasting this long with one team,
something Golston understands. He’s always in shape and professional. Even when he’s not starting, he’s a voice of reason in the
Redskins’ locker room, sought out by media and teammates. His
nickname: Uncle Ked. That speaks to his experience -- Golston is 33
years old, close to a senior citizen in NFL years.
“He’s a grinder, he’s gritty,” Redskins linebacker Will Compton
said. “He’s never been the big-name guy. There’s a lot you can take
from him. He’s very big in his faith, a very disciplined individual. He
has a lot of knowledge and wisdom and takes tremendous care of
his body. The big thing with him is he’s the same guy on and off the
field. He’s as much into his family as he is with football.”
When Golston discusses his wife’s growing real estate business
-- she now has three offices -- his smile is wide, much bigger than
it is when talking about his own career.
Still, it’s not easy to last this long with one team. Joe Gibbs drafted him only to retire a second time and then came Jim Zorn for two
years and Mike Shanahan for four. Vinny Cerrato was in the front
office when the Redskins drafted Golston; Cerrato was fired during
the 2009 season. Golston continues on despite now playing for his
fourth defensive coordinator -- and a switch from a 4-3 to a 3-4
front.
Losing always brings about change and the Redskins have
posted losing records in six of his 10 seasons, with three trips to
the playoffs. Cleaning house, though, never included getting rid of
Golston. He not only could serve a role along the line, but he also
was excellent on special teams. In many ways, he’s easy to keep
around because of that and his approach. But Golston admitted
he’s never felt secure in his standing. Early in his career, he recalled
former Redskins linebacker Marcus Washington reminding him of
other players who had been cut.
“Whether you’re comfortable or not in this business, you should
never be comfortable,” Golston said. “Jerry Rice got cut. Peyton
Manning got cut. If they cut those guys they’ll cut anybody.”
Golston said he doesn’t get caught up in what’s being said about
him. He just pushes forward.
“I knew I had an opportunity and it was up to me to make the
most of it, no matter what role was asked of me,” he said. “I tried to
do my best, be a good teammate, always come out here and be professional. … I was always confident in my ability, but a lot of things
have to happen for a guy no matter where they started to be in the
same place for 11 years.”
Yes, it does. But it starts with his mentality.
“When you understand your coach is your boss and you do what
you’re asked, it makes life a whole lot more simple,” Golston said. “It
doesn’t matter what the last coach or the last coordinator did, it’s
a new coach so you try to do what they ask and do it at a high level
and let the rest take care of itself.”
Gruden said Golston rarely makes mental mistakes and always
knows the system “inside and out.” That, too, is important. His wisdom can then be dispersed like he’s the wise, old uncle. Hence, the
nickname. Rather than shun it, perhaps as a reminder of his age,
Golston welcomes the nickname. He hopes to keep it for another
few seasons as his playing career continues -- not that he’s thinking that far ahead.
“It’s a sign of respect,” he said. “These guys have been very good
to me. I embrace it. Not many years ago I was calling Phillip Daniels
‘Uncle Phil’ and getting on his nerves. It’s a good position to be in.”
RB MATT JONES
NFL teams trying to reduce fumbles with beeping footballs
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
By Stephen Whyno, Associated Press
June 25, 2016
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- Amid the hooting and hollering at Washington Redskins minicamp, there’s a different sound in the air during running back drills.
Coaches whack at the football with Matt Jones carrying it, and it
beeps. Then it beeps longer.
That’s a good sign.
The Redskins are one of five NFL teams using so-called beeping
or whistling footballs to emphasize ball security. When the ball is
being held correctly with the fundamental five points of pressure, it
emits an audible beeping sound at about 80 decibels to tell a player
he’s doing it right.
‘’If I had that ball in high school, I don’t think I would’ve had a
fumble,’’ Jones said. ‘’It’s teaching me how to squeeze the ball at
the point of contact. Everything has changed about me holding the
ball.’’
Cutting down on fumbles is the goal of the ball, developed by
Division II Northwood University assistant coach Tom Creguer and
used by the Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore
Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and several college teams, including Tennessee and Michigan State. The San Diego Chargers plan to
start using them at training camp.
Creguer said practicing with “High and Tight” footballs, which
cost about $150 each, reduced Northwood’s fumbles by 63 percent
last season. Many NFL position coaches got the lowdown on them
at the scouting combine.
‘’It basically reinforces the proper hold by teaching the athlete to
put their forearm to the panel, their panel to the chest and to compress the ball evenly with equal distribution of pressure, therefore
creating basically a vice around the football, creating that muscle
memory of what it feels like to have the ball secured to their body at
all times,’’ Creguer said in a phone interview.
Coaches have taught ball security for decades, but this technology adds another element. Creguer said Cowboys running backs
coach Gary Brown texted him that he’ll use the beeping footballs as
long as he’s working.
That doesn’t mean Cowboys players warmed up to them right
away.
‘’They didn’t like it at first,’’ Brown said. ‘’I think it was just the
pressure you had to do it. They’re not used to squeezing it that
hard.’’
Players aren’t the only ones adjusting to how to squeeze a football tight enough. During a presentation on ball security, Ravens
running backs coach Thomas Hammock demonstrated and then
tossed the ball to coach John Harbaugh, who couldn’t get it to beep.
‘’I’ve been working out; I feel like I’m pretty strong right now,’’
Harbaugh said with a laugh. ‘’Found out later the battery was dead,
for the record. I’m sticking to it, that’s right.’’
On the field, though, it seems to be working. Brown said Cowboys running backs Ezekiel Elliott and Alfred Morris fumbled less
during organized team activates and minicamp after working with
the beeping balls in drills.
Morris said he got a cramp in his forearm the first day but thinks
it’ll help in games when there are defenders bearing down on him
and trying to strip the ball. With so much to think about, he wants
holding the ball to be second nature.
‘’It’s easy to just, like, ‘I got to make this guy miss.’ You don’t
think about, ‘I need to keep the ball tight too,’’’ Morris said. ‘’So doing something like that can kind of reiterate like, hey, keep the ball
tight.’’
Colts running back Robert Turbin has only lost one fumble in 281
career carries but is open to new ideas about how to get better. He
had never seen anything like the beeping footballs.
‘’All running backs fumble, but as they say, iron sharpens iron, so
just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you can’t get
better at it,’’ Turbin said.
For Jones and the Redskins it’s about fixing a known problem.
Jones lost four fumbles as a rookie, and with Morris gone he must
improve in that area as Washington’s top back.
Running backs coach Randy Jordan, who played nine seasons
for the Raiders and Jaguars, struggled to get the football to beep
at first. After he and his players figured it out, Jordan has noticed a
major improvement, especially from Jones.
‘’It’s got to a point now when he goes through his drills, he’s looking for that football,’’ Jordan said last week. ‘’I can say when we’re
going through the drill, ‘When you get collision or you get ready for
somebody to strip the ball, I want to hear the beep.’ So you go from
kind of casually holding it to like gripping it really tight.’’
Jones doesn’t want to let go. He’s planning to buy a ball to use
over the summer break in Florida before training camp begins to
keep up the practice.
Other running backs may soon follow suit.
‘’Ball security, that’s the most important thing on the field,’’ Morris said. ‘’That’s one thing you don’t want to do is turn the ball over.’’
CB JOSH NORMAN
Josh Norman is the ‘Dark Knight’ on the field, a son of rural South
Carolina off it
July 22, 2016
GREENWOOD, S.C. — The line was unorganized, and it was all
Josh Norman’s fault. He just can’t say no to children, especially
those from his home town. The Washington Redskins cornerback
already had spent a considerable portion of his fourth “Fun Day in
the Park” signing autographs and posing for pictures. Still, there
were about 50 people in line.
Keshia Walker, executive director of Starz24, Norman’s foundation that aims to support the community that raised him, attempted
to establish two lines — one for autographs and one for photos. But
the children kept swarming around Norman. And he kept signing.
“Josh, one per person, baby,” Walker said as Norman signed the
brim of a little boy’s turquoise Kevin Durant snapback hat. “Everyone’s getting photos and autographs. See, you the one causing the
trouble!”
They smiled. Norman finally gave in to her rules, though he bent
them for a few kids. He wanted to leave a positive experience for
the 1,213 children running around Brewer Field on this humid June
day because, less than a mile away, his childhood memories have
been boarded up and abandoned for the past seven years.
Seaboard Recreation Center once served as a safe haven for
Norman, his four brothers and generations of Greenwood natives.
Now it’s an asbestos-filled gym with an adjacent, uninhabited
swimming pool. The only signs of life reside on the two outdoor
courts, where locals play pickup basketball games with shards of
glass scattered on the court, and in the pool, where weeds have
bloomed through the cracks of the inert foundation.
This bulky red building and the caged-in swimming pool played a
significant role, along with his supportive family, in shaping Norman
into the 28-year-old man he is today. And he’s yearning to create
another Greenwood sanctuary for the next generation.
“I can’t forget that,” Norman said. “It was a part of me when I
was young coming up, and it’s stuck with me all the way up to now
when I’m an adult. It’s still with me today. If I didn’t go to the rec
center, I don’t know where I’d probably be at this point in time. If
there was no rec center, we wouldn’t be here having this conversation.”
Before he was the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, signing a
five-year deal worth $75 million in April, before he was a first-team
all-pro and before he was name-dropped by Jay Z on DJ Khaled’s “I
Got the Keys” track, Norman was just another scrawny Greenwood
kid. The second youngest of five brothers, nicknamed “5 Strong,”
with two parents rooted in their Christian faith, Norman grew up 90
minutes west of Columbia in Greenwood, the town that now has a
population of more than 23,000 people.
The family lived in a double-wide trailer on a few acres where
Norman and his brothers shared a room sleeping on bunk twin
beds. They had to twist around the antenna out back to get a signal
strong enough to receive a few TV channels. Their first basketball
hoop was a plyboard and a tire rim nailed to an oak tree. What the
Normans lacked in material possessions, they made up in competi-
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
tive spirit. It’s the same one Norman displayed for four seasons
with the Carolina Panthers.
Everything was a game with bragging rights on the line. He received tough love from his older brothers playing “throw-up-tackle”
football, an aggressive game they all loved, in which Norman had to
outrun his siblings from one end zone to the other to avoid what was
likely a brutal takedown.
“That’s why we call ourselves ‘5 Strong’ because we grew up in
that trailer, in that environment, where we was right there on top of
each other,” said Marrio Norman, the third-oldest brother. “Every
man fend for themselves. That’s what gave us that mentality.”
The mind-set stems further than that, back to Norman’s grandparents, who grew up in the segregated South. They stressed the
significance of education to Norman’s parents, Sandra and Roy, in
a period when African Americans were typically limited to industrial
or service jobs. Sandra felt a calling to become a nurse at 10 years
old. Excelling at McCormick High School in the classroom while participating in track, she went to college and achieved her dream. Roy
was one of two black students during desegregation to attend the
all-white Northside Middle School in Greenwood. He was driven to
prove himself while white students called him the N-word and threw
biscuits at him. Roy felt a calling to get into ministry.
“Something happened to me at Northside Middle School that
was sort of like a volcano that was building,” Roy Norman said.
“Something was happening down on the inside that would eventually explode, but I knew that the only way I could ascend to the top
was through the educational system. So I had to play the game.”
Sandra and Roy instilled that same spirit in their five sons, Renaldo, Orlando, Marrio, Josh and Phillip: Use the gifts God gave you.
If you have faith, regardless of the circumstances, you will succeed.
From the ground up
Norman’s parents separated when Josh was about 11 years old.
Roy still played a significant role in his sons’ lives, but they all lived
with their mother in north Greenwood. She had to balance working long hours as a nurse while raising five boys, which became a
financial burden.
“I can tell you about times when my mama was scrapping up
pennies to put gas in a station wagon,” said Orlando, the secondoldest brother who works in real estate. “I feel like if nobody can
reach out and understand what I’m saying with that, then they can’t
understand nothing. It wasn’t like we were born with silver spoons.
We had to work from the ground up.”
Instead of letting them wrestle with each other throughout the
summer at the house, Sandra took the boys to Seaboard Recreation
Center. Sometimes they would walk on their own. It was a staple
in west Greenwood, a predominately African American area, where
children swam and played basketball, football and baseball from
dusk till dawn for free. While there is a YMCA in the town, many
households can’t afford a membership. The average household income in Greenwood is currently less than $23,000.
“The rec center was the community that couldn’t afford to go
to the Y,” said Renaldo Norman, the oldest brother who like his father is a minister. “So everybody got to go over there for free to the
swimming pool, playing basketball. A lot of those hard-core basketball games, it’s where we got a lot of our toughness from really
being at the rec.”
Trash talk was necessary, not optional, at Seaboard. People
stepped on the court oozing confidence. At the time, Josh wasn’t
the chatty individual he is on Sundays nowadays. His mother said
he always loved attention in public, especially in the classroom,
where he often distracted his classmates, but Norman was too busy
as an 8-year-old fighting for a spot on the court. Norman had to
play up to the level of those older than him who didn’t trust him or
didn’t want to play with him. Every opportunity he received, Norman
had to prove he belonged.
“It honed me to my skills and who I am today,” Norman said. “It
did because I was always hearing, ‘No, no, no, no, no.’ And once I
got that one ‘yes,’ it was like I couldn’t get off the court. Then I’d get
a ‘no,’ then a ‘no,’ then a ‘yes.’ And it took off from there. So it was
always going back and forth at first, and then finally I hit the court
where they were like, ‘Okay, he can play.’ ”
A winding route
There have been doubters throughout Norman’s football career
as well. Norman, a safety on the Greenwood High team, had aspirations of a state championship and visions of playing in the NFL.
His junior season ended in disappointment in the playoffs. A year
later, in 2006, he accomplished his first goal as the leader and best
player on the school’s state championship team.
But Norman was searching for a plan after graduation, and he
didn’t have any scholarship offers from Division I schools.
Georgia showed interest but moved on because of Norman’s
academic record. The only offer Norman received was from Mars
Hill, a Division II school in North Carolina that his high school position coach, Tony Temple, helped secure. Norman wasn’t interested.
Instead, he followed his brother Marrio to Myrtle Beach, where he
crashed on his couch with two other people living in the apartment.
Norman worked on receiving a Spanish online credit to bridge
his transition from high school to college and took a few college
courses at Horry Georgetown Tech that year as well. From there, he
planned to transfer to Coastal Carolina, where Marrio was a defensive back.
“I was worried because, as a coach, I witness so many kids leave
high school, get out of playing and then they never get an education,” Temple said. “They never get back in it. I said, ‘Buddy, it’s just
so hard to do that.’ ”
Norman persevered, but he gets emotional reflecting on that
year. He slept in his green Toyota Camry with no door handles one
weekend because he forgot to grab the apartment key from Marrio before a Coastal Carolina road game. He often spent his weekdays working out, attending class and working 40 hours a week as
a mental health technician at Lighthouse Care Center, an inpatient
psychiatric hospital. If he wasn’t scheduled to work on a weekday,
Norman watched Marrio’s practices.
“He would stand like we’re standing right here and just watch,”
Marrio said. “Just watch, waiting for his moment. I remember it like
it was yesterday. That continued to keep that fire going in him, ignite
that fire and kept it going. He just kept feeding it.”
Norman walked on the Coastal Carolina team and earned a
scholarship before his sophomore year. Marrio’s collegiate career
came to end just as his younger brother was getting started when
Marrio hurt his ankle during Coastal Carolina’s 2008 season opener
at Penn State. His brother’s injury opened an opportunity for Norman. He started seven games that season, recording two interceptions. Norman ended his career with 13 interceptions, the second
most in school history. He passed Marrio, who had 11.
“It was tough because that was my senior year, but it was bittersweet,” said Marrio, a freight broker who still hopes to catch on with
an NFL team. “If I want anybody to do it, it’d be my brother. I always
say that. One of those things where you can’t be salty, especially if
it’s a family member doing everything you wanted to do. It’s love at
the end of the day, man.”
Norman graduated from Coastal Carolina with a degree in communication in 2012, the same year the Carolina Panthers selected
him in the fifth round of the NFL draft.
His journey to the NFL is why Norman scoffs at skeptics. He has
heard about how he wasn’t worth the money. He has heard about
how he will fall off now that he’s the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback.
He has heard about how he won’t succeed with a new team and
defensive scheme in Washington.
Norman tilts his head sideways, releasing a devious grin in the
empty Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church, where Renaldo
preached an hour ago.
“Is that even a question to ask? Do you think I still got it?” Norman said. “I don’t even feel like I’ve got 75 [million].
“I don’t even feel like I’ve made it yet. If somebody don’t feel like
they’ve made it, you might want to watch out because they’ll do everything they can in their power to — regardless of what it is.”
The city stays with him
Norman’s older brothers always set the bar for him. They
showed him how to be ruthless in competition but respectful after
the game, whether it involved family or other people at Seaboard.
The unwritten rules were simple — between the lines, anything
goes. Phillip, who plans to live with Josh in Ashburn this season,
said that included pushing, shoving, throwing an elbow or even a
punch. If the physical altercation escalated into a fight, the initiator
would usually apologize as a sign of respect. Grudges weren’t held
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
once everyone stepped outside the lines, and they would play again
the next day like nothing happened.
“Every time I step on the field, that’s what I bring — I bring
Greenwood with me,” Norman said on stage to 1,800 people at his
“Fun Day in the Park” event in Greenwood in June at which he received a key to the city. On display was Norman’s American Saddlebred horse Delta, which he bought shortly after he was drafted — a
nod to his father, Roy, who says his family owns 11 horses on three
farms, one in Greenwood and two in Georgia.
“The thing is, I come from somewhere where hard work is all we
know. It’s all we ever know,” Norman said. “If you sit up there and
look at the people you go against — Julio Jones, [Odell Beckham]
and people like that. You sit in front of them, [Dez Bryant] and all
those guys on the Cowboys. . . . We sit in front of them, and we check
them every time. Every time we look in their face, we like to see
their heart. We really do because that’s where we come from. Gritty,
nose-grinding people.”
Seven months after a heated matchup between Norman and
Beckham, the New York Giants’ star wide receiver, last season, it’s
still a sensitive subject for Norman and his family. Norman threw
Beckham to the turf after a play on the Giants’ second drive, and
Beckham attempted to retaliate throughout the rest of the game,
earning a one-game suspension.
Norman’s brother Phillip took issue with Beckham’s actions and
how he has responded since. “We weren’t raised to respect that,”
Phillip said. “Especially since he gave them no apology.”
Phillip continued: “I just see the things [Beckham is] doing — the
dancing and the Michael Jackson stuff — and none of that is Greenwood. You can’t do all that and then try to be this whole ’nother, different guy on the field. That’s the different thing about my brother.
He’s always been a trash talker, so he’s always been that guy. For
him to take it to the field, it’s okay. He can play through it. You see
somebody that carry themselves and be somebody they not, they
can’t play through it. And you seen that in [Beckham’s] play. He’s
not that guy. Don’t be that guy. He wants to be Joker. Is he really the
Joker to the Batman? That’s what he wants to be.”
“Batman” refers to Norman’s “Dark Knight” persona. It started
in college and grew over time with his infatuation with the superhero and Christian Bale’s performance in the movie of the same
name. Norman becomes this alter ego when the lights turn on and
the cameras watch his every move on the field, in the locker room
and during an interview. A minor in dramatic arts, this is Norman’s
stage.
“The Dark Knight” also draws out his dark side on the field to
break his opponent mentally between the lines.
“I see through people in a way that it’s just the competitive side
of me I guess that feeds off their bitter side,” Norman said. “Sometimes I get blood drunk, when I get drunk into the game. It’s like I’m
on a bottle of straight Adderall aggression and fire. I’m out of it. I’m
seeing red. I see it and look at it, and it’s just like, ‘Yeah, I know I got
you today because of your armor or your flinch.’
“It’s just like Mike Tyson said. When you look at someone, you
look at them and look at them, then they look down. You know
you’ve got them.”
The broadcasters during the Giants-Panthers game last season noted in the second half how Norman was winning “the mental
game” with Beckham, but Norman later told Temple that his emotions got the best of him as well. Norman is still attempting to learn
how to turn off his alter ego, which has been more difficult than
turning it on. He will have to be even more cautious now that he
plays Beckham twice a season in the NFC East.
The rivalry shows every sign of continuing. Beckham told GQ
magazine in its August issue that Norman’s status in the NFL as
one of its highest-paid defenders “is because of me.”
“I can go from having a conversation with you cool and quiet, but
once you talk about something that hits a trigger, I go into a whole
different phase and side of me,” Norman said. “That’s what I mean
by inside the white lines and outside of it. That switch automatically
comes on, and if someone rubs me the wrong way, it’s on until I
go to sleep at night. I’m trying, trying to work on killing it after the
game, but it’s so hard.”
A fresh opportunity
You’ll see “The Dark Knight” at FedEx Field, but you won’t find
him in Greenwood. The mask comes off when Norman is back home,
and he’s the caring person all the locals know him to be. Norman
holds events like “Fun Day in the Park” to raise awareness and
funds to build his own recreation center. There have been NFL players to come out of Greenwood — including defensive ends Gaines
Adams and Sam Montgomery, wide receivers Robert Brooks and
John Gilliam, tight end Ben Coates and current Arizona Cardinals
safety D.J. Swearinger — but they haven’t been as devoted to the
community as Norman.
“It means so much not only just for the contributions that he’s
already made, but the spirit of the community,” Greenwood Mayor
Welborn Adams said. “For those kids to know that there’s somebody willing to come and give up their time, you can’t put a price on
that. It’s so inspiring.”
Seaboard Recreation Center was shut down by Greenwood
County in 2009 as part of the cutbacks during the recession. The
building and swimming pool were given to resident Darlene Saxon,
who changed the name to Beyond The Walls Family Restoration
Center but hasn’t done anything with the property. The neighboring
community has suffered without the center that was a mainstay for
almost 60 years.
“Growing up with my friends and playing with my friends, a lot
of them grew up in single-family homes,” said Anthony Coates, a
city native who now serves as the linebackers coach at Greenwood
High. “They didn’t see a lot of parent stuff going on. But growing up
at the rec, you had the role models over there that would teach you
the things that you couldn’t get at home. That made me want to be
a better person, want to be the better husband and father that I am
today. I knew what it took to get from there to here.
“If you go to the rec now, you don’t see anything. That’s because they don’t have anything to do. So now, what are they doing?
They’re finding other stuff to do, and most of the time, it’s not the
right thing.”
Residents believe violent and property crimes rose during the
recession in Greenwood, and there are many in the community who
believe the absence of the center has played a role. While another
center, Brewer Recreation Center, exists, residents say kids aren’t
going to it because of inconsistent open-gym hours. Seaboard kept
the outdoor court lights on until 11 p.m., and by the time everyone
left, the teenagers were too tired to do anything else.
“They go home, take a bath, go to bed and do it all over again
tomorrow,” said George Brennon, who was a volunteer coach at the
center. “Now, he done slept all day or sat around the house all day.
When it gets dark, he got more energy than a lift. He’s ready to run
the streets.”
Norman has been trying to change the perception of Greenwood
by starting Starz24 during his rookie season, and he believes a new
complex will keep the kids occupied with an emphasis on athletics
and academics.

“We have an opportunity as a ministry to talk to them and tell
them what you can do instead of what you can’t do,” said Norman’s
mother, Sandra, who recently retired as a nurse and devotes her
time to her grandchildren and Norman’s foundation. “Just because
your uncle was this or your brother was that don’t mean that you
have to be that. You can be something different. You are different.
You’re an individual. God gave you something different, and you
don’t have to settle.”
Sandra oversaw the “Fun Day in the Park” with Walker, Starz24’s
executive director, in what was considered a success. They were all
amazed by the turnout, which exceeded Sandra’s expectations by
more than 900 kids. Norman was proud that it brought the community together regardless of race or class.
“It’s a town that is divided in a way,” Norman said. “You can bring
a strong force to come back and sever that gap and bring everybody together on common ground. It wasn’t just black people out
there. It wasn’t just white people out there. They was all together
and having a good time. That’s what I want Greenwood to have.”
A new center would bring it all back for that scrawny kid from
Greenwood in a way that no play on the field could duplicate — a
lasting impact to the people he can’t forget, who know better than
anyone else that Norman can make the most unfathomable dreams
a reality.

“It’s going to be the jewel of this town,” Norman said. “It really
will be, a state of the art. That’s what it’ll be. Something that nice
where everyone there in the community will have a hand on it to call
and say, ‘This is mine.’”
DE STEPHEN PAEA
Niles Paul, and his viking-style beard, is back to claim his spot on
the Redskins
By Stephen Paea, The Washington Post
July 29, 2016
Redskins defensive end Stephen Paea has been fighting to find
joy this offseason, but it’s been a tough few months off the field.
First, he found out his father, Peniamina, had prostate cancer
during the first week of offseason practices. Right before mandatory minicamp, Paea found out his grandmother, Aulola, passed away.
“To be honest with you, it’s been a sh***y [offseason] as far as
mentally,” said Paea on Thursday in his first practice with the team
since missing minicamp. “It’s been affecting me, especially in the
offseason. I come out here, and I try to complete then go home and
get all these texts and phone calls.”
Paea said his 89-year old grandmother died due to natural
causes on June 11, three days before minicamp. Paea was very appreciative that Coach Jay Gruden excused him to be with his family.
The 28-year-old planned to fly out on Thursday after minicamp to
see his grandmother, but Paea didn’t get an opportunity to see the
woman he named his daughter after one last time.
The family traveled to Tonga where his grandmother had a traditional funeral, and Paea stayed there for two more weeks to train
and clear his mind before he returned to the United States.
“It’s one of those things you see in the movies,” Paea said. “She
held my mom’s hand, and she was just calling out everybody’s
name. She asked [my mom] to call me on the phone so I could talk
to her, but my mom didn’t understand or click in her head that she’s
about to go – like really pass away. She asked my mom to read her
favorite verse in the Bible, Psalms 31 I think. Right before my mom
finished it, she passed away.”
Prior to the death of his grandmother, Paea said he flew out to
the San Jose area in consecutive weeks to visit his father. The outlook on his father is bleak, Paea said he has maybe two more years
to live.
“When I got back, I was trying to focus on OTAs and competing,”
Paea said. “But things like this no matter how big or strong you are,
if you’re not there mentally, you’re not there 100 percent.”
Paea visited his father one final time during the team’s break
then focused on training. He said he gained about 20 pounds from
last year and weighed in at 306 pounds. Paea felt the need to gain
weight in order to hold his ground against bigger offensive linemen,
but he believes he didn’t sacrifice speed or quickness in the process.
He returned to the field as a backup mixing in with the second
unit, but he was unfazed by his spot on the depth chart heading
into his sixth season. He’s excited about the intense position battles
along the defensive line. Whatever role he earns at the end of camp,
Paea will be playing with a heavy heart in his second season with
the Redskins.
“Training has helped a lot because I go out there and run a lot
forgetting that I passed what I designed to run just because this
season is for my grandma and my dad,” Paea said. “I come out here
and compete. All this stuff out here, it doesn’t affect me as far as
where they put me on the depth chart. I mean it does, but in a good
way for motivation.”
TE NILES PAUL
Niles Paul, and his viking-style beard, is back to claim his spot on
the Redskins
By Dan Steinberg, The Washington Post
August 1, 2016
RICHMOND — Here’s how to find Niles Paul at Redskins training camp: Look for the cactus-sized beard surrounding the electric
gold teeth. If the bearer of said teeth is throwing punches, you’ve
probably found Paul.
“He’s a grizzly man,” starting tight end Jordan Reed said of his
presumed backup. “That’s the type of person he is. He’s a hardcore
dude.”
“I think it’s more like an Ice Age look,” said linebacker Martrell
Spaight, who attempted to punch that cactus and those teeth during this year’s first training-camp skirmish. “He’s got the caveman
beard — but it just describes his personality.”
“Like a barbarian, like a viking,” Paul said. (That’s a small-v viking, obviously.) “I mean, I’m an aggressive style of player,” Paul
added. “I think this look matches the way I play.”
How Paul will play, though, isn’t exactly clear. Last year at this
time, Coach Jay Gruden surprised us all by announcing that Paul
would be his starting tight end — ahead of Reed, perhaps Washington’s most talented offensive player.
Since then? Reed had maybe the best season of any tight end
in Redskins history, setting records with 87 catches and 952 yards.
The team imported veteran Vernon Davis, who ranks in the top 10
in tight end receptions and yards over the past decade. And Paul
missed the 2015 season with a broken and dislocated ankle. Instead
of being asked about the starting job this week, Paul has been asked
where he fits on this roster.
His response? Call it joy. Well, joy peppered with the occasional
brawl.
“I feel so blessed and grateful just to be out here running again
and to be 100 percent,” he said on Monday. “Every practice is a
blessing to me. I think I took that for granted last year — the practices, training camp. I’d be like ‘Oh, it’s a hot day.’ Now I’m just happy
to be here.”
(Same, obviously. As usual, I am filled with happiness.)
Paul seemed set for a breakout last season, even if his starting
designation may have been ceremonial. He set career highs in everything in 2014, and was one of the stars of last summer’s training
camp, when Gruden slathered him with praise. Did he think last year
would be special?
“I knew last year was going to be something special for me,”
Paul said. “I thought I had everything right there for me. And it was
taken away.”
Paul went down in the first preseason game. He tried to walk the
injury off, but instead fell over. Then he started crying. He mostly
avoided going to FedEx Field last season — “it was really hard for
me to go to games; it was painful,” he said — and he felt both happy
and empty during Washington’s run to the playoffs.
“It was depressing, man,” he said, a word Paul has used over
and over in recent months. (Again, same!) “I was sad. I couldn’t help
that. You’re talking to a guy who spent every year for the past 10plus years playing football around this time of year, and to have that
taken away from me like that, it hurt.”
He wasn’t the only one hurting. After the injury, tight ends coach
Wes Phillips was so upset that he composed a handwritten note to
Paul about his meaning to the team and how badly everyone felt,
and then delivered it to Paul in his room.
“Better than me just trying to spit it out,” Phillips explained on
Monday. “I just wanted to kind of express how I felt about it in some
way. … Coaches love him. When you lose a guy like that, it’s more
than just what you lose on the field.”
The note also assured Paul that he would be able to make it back
onto the field in 2016. But in the meantime, the Redskins transformed into a team overflowing with pass-catching options. It isn’t
just Reed and Davis; there’s slot receiver Jamison Crowder, and
rookie wideout Josh Doctson, and fourth tight end Logan Paulsen.
Paul’s counter is his versatility. He’s starred on special teams.
He might offer Washington’s best combination of blocking and pass
catching at the position. And he’s also become the team’s default
fullback, after the offseason release of Darrel Young. You won’t see
Paul on many fantasy football draft lists, and the opportunity from
a year ago might have drifted away, but a role remains.
“Niles is a football player,” Phillips said, using GM Scot Mc-
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
Cloughan’s favorite term of endearment. “Any kind of guy like that,
we’re going to find ways to use him. He has played the [in-line] tight
end, the [receiving] tight end, the fullback-type position. We can
line him out wide, he can be in the core. We really feel like he can do
just about anything.”
He’s also developed into something of a veteran leader on a roster that has churned for years. Paul is one of just eight Mike Shanahan draft picks who remain with the team. And he’s one of just three
Washington players to have earned reserved parking spots at Redskins Park two years in a row, based on their offseason work. (The
others are Pierre Garcon and Ryan Kerrigan.) Paul visited the practice facility daily, Monday through Friday, throughout the spring.
That’s why his parking sign is the only one with an extra note, reading “Niles Paul is here everyday, please do not park in space.”
Now, how much is all of this worth? After all, the team won a division title without Paul last year. Davis has far more accolades, and
certainly attracts more attention. (“We weren’t sure how Niles was
going to come back from his injury, we had to protect ourselves, and
Vernon was staring us right in our face,” Gruden said.) The team’s
annual yearbook pictures five receivers over an “Aerial Assault”
headline; Paul didn’t make the cut. To teammates, though, Paul is
anything but an afterthought.
“He’s a different guy this year,” running back Chris Thompson
said. “He’s relentless, man. I mean, he’s out there to just knock
heads off.”
Which is sort of the impression you’d get from the beard and the
teeth. In truth, the beard arrived because Paul was losing his hair
on top, and the grill came because it felt more comfortable than a
mouthguard. Just don’t tell anyone that. The look kind of works.
“That’s all what makes Niles Paul what he is,” Thompson said.
“He’s got the whole Rambo thing going on right now. That’s just who
he is. He’s that type of player.”
TE JORDAN REED
Jordan Reed’s confidence increases, but steady work ethic key to
his rise
By John Keim, ESPN.com
July 26, 2016
ASHBURN, Va. -- He shared a simple desire for the upcoming
season with one of his trainers: stay healthy. That’s what Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed wanted in 2015. He wanted to
prove he was durable. If he did that, he was sure he’d also prove his
worth.
Reed fell two games shy of his goal, but his season motivated
him for this one. And he shared that motivation with one of the men
who trained him, David Robinson.
“He’s hungry. He really believes he has the chance to be the best
tight end in the game,” said Robinson, who trains players in Houston and has worked with Reed the past two offseasons. “Last year,
he wasn’t talking like that. This year he’s saying, ‘I want to make it
to the Pro Bowl. I want to prove I’m the best tight end in the game.’
You can tell the difference in his confidence.”
Reed is coming off his best season, totaling 87 catches for 952
yards and 11 touchdowns in 2015. Quarterback Kirk Cousins owned
a 130.1 passer rating when targeting Reed.
The Redskins rewarded Reed with a multiyear extension this
offseason.
“I still want to be durable,” Reed said. “I still haven’t played 16
games. I want to be the best because last year I had a little taste of
success and I feel I could keep improving. If I do that, then my name
will be up there with some of the top guys.”
To get there, Reed again worked out at various times in Houston
with Robinson and in Miami with Pete Bommarito, before and after
the Redskins’ offseason work. Reed is a low-key player, so certain
traits might get missed; his trainers witness his intensity and work
ethic first-hand. It’s why Bommarito recruited him to work out after
Reed left the University of Florida. His first two seasons in Washington were a mix of production (95 combined catches) and injuries
(12 missed games).
But Reed altered his workouts and his habits last offseason,
changing his diet -- no bread, no fried foods -- and incorporated
more stretching exercises. He said it helped him recover faster than
in the past.
“Right now, we’re finally realizing the true Jordan Reed,” Bommarito said. “It’s not like he wasn’t good before, but here’s a guy
who hasn’t yet reached his full growth potential. That’s scary, with
just how strong he is and how much muscle he can put on his frame
and gain speed. You just don’t see that type player built the way he’s
built who can move like he moves.”
Robinson focused on creating more separation from defenders,
something Reed already does well. Robinson would line up cones
in tight spaces and have Reed focus on footwork and being under
control going around the cone -- and as he comes out of the cone,
as if breaking, he’d have him push forward. This was designed to
help against players aligned several yards off him.
“He has to make the move on the run rather than at a standstill
position,” Robinson said. “We worked on not being lackadaisical and
still run full speed out of cuts and create more separation.
“[Before] he was doing things off natural, raw talent. The things
we’ve worked on are his IQ at the receiver position and teaching
him different release techniques and different moves at the top of
his routes.”
Bommarito said earlier in Reed’s career they did not want to
overstress his joints after seasons in which he dealt with numerous injuries. But, in the past two offseasons, they’ve worked more
on building strength. Also, Bommarito said Reed has listened to his
suggestions for acupuncture, nutrition and supplements.
“He does every single thing we ask him to do,” Bommarito said.
“Usually it takes a few years and then players get their act together.
With Jordan, he learned at a young age and implemented it into his
lifestyle. Now we can train him the way we really want to. And he’s
just so genetically gifted.”
During drills, Reed impressed his trainers with his ability to cut.
“We’re watching him make these sharp cuts off the outside edge
at tremendous speed and he gains speed out of his cuts,” Bommarito said. “We’re looking at each other shaking our heads like,
‘How did he do that?’”
Bommarito said Reed moves more like a running back than a
tight end.
“It’s hard to find a guy that tall who gets that low,” Bommarito
said. “It’s not like he’s super fast. He’s just fast when he cuts because he’s so strong in and out of breaks and gets so low.”
That’s what the coaches see on the field, too. That’s why they’re
excited about what Reed can continue to do, and the matchup problem he’ll remain for defenses. He worked on making his cuts strong
regardless of the direction.
“I noticed in practice where one side wasn’t as strong as the
other on certain cuts,” Reed said. “That’s when I knew I could improve, to make sure both sides are as strong and explosive. I was
able to do some routes that I had stopped doing because of knee
injuries.”
Which is why Bommarito has touted Reed to anyone calling for
fantasy football advice. In the past, Bommarito has recommended
other clients such as Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown and Lamar Miller.
“When people call [now], I always refer back to Jordan Reed,”
Bommarito said. “I know tight ends aren’t fantasy football gods, but
what I anticipate him doing based on his work ethic is tremendous.”
LB PRESTON SMITH
Preston Smith eager to assume Redskins’ pass-rush burden after
Junior Galette injury
July 28, 2016
RICHMOND — In the midst of Washington Redskins Coach Jay
Gruden’s first training camp news conference Thursday, pass rusher Junior Galette fired off a tweet at 1:51 p.m. Galette tends to use
social media as often as a Gen-Z high school student, but the tweet
wasn’t about him.
2016 FEATURE CLIPS
It was about the next man up, second-year outside linebacker
Preston Smith.
“@PrestonSmith94 never seen a guy going into his 2nd year
work so hard Superstar in the making bro the world is yours rumble
young Prince,” Galette wrote.
Galette is out for the season with a torn Achilles’ tendon for the
second straight year, and the Redskins are caught in the same situation they were in this time last year, losing a valuable pass rusher.
They remain optimistic because their success at outside linebacker
now hinges on Smith, who has made strides over the past year.
“He’s bigger, he’s stronger, and he’s faster this year,” Gruden
said. “I think he’s going to be a heck of a pass rusher for us here for
a long time, but out here it’s going to be real important for him to
get even better.”
The Mississippi State product led all NFL rookies in sacks last
season, but five of his eight came during the final three weeks of
the regular season. Everything started to click for Smith during December, when he sensed the need for consistency. He entered the
league as a second-round pick in 2015 and placed an ample amount
of pressure on himself to succeed immediately, although his work
ethic from college didn’t necessarily change.
“You kind of assume the success you had in college you can roll
over in the NFL and have some similar type of success, but it’s not
that easy,” Smith said. “You’ve got to realize that you’ve still got to
work hard or work harder to take it to another level.”
Smith’s teammates and coaches wanted to get the most out of
him, too. They spoke out privately and publicly about how Smith was
lethargic at practice during the first half of the season. The Redskins saw his potential and, even though he was a rookie, believed
he had more to give.
“We all knew the ability he had once he came in with his size and
strength,” defensive end Chris Baker said of Smith. “He just had
to learn how to become a true professional, so we stayed on him
all year to help him continue to get better and better. With the loss
of Junior, he has to step up even more and be a vocal leader and a
great player out there on the field.”
Listed at 6 feet 5 and 268 pounds, Smith wasn’t treating his
gifted physique properly. He continued to rely on sweets for nourishment, and it produced sluggish performances during practice.
Smith credited former Redskins defensive end Jason Hatcher for
teaching him how to treat his body, and he cut out certain sugary
treats, such as candy bars, that he has been consuming his entire
life.
“It was kind of hard at times, but I’m just trying to stop and cut
it down,” Smith said. “I had to realize that this was my job, and I’ve
got to be more disciplined so I can continue to do great things on
the field.”
The nutritional change, along with an improved work ethic, produced some much-needed results for a Redskins front seven that
had an inconsistent pass rush. Smith recorded three sacks and a
forced fumble in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles to help
Washington clinch the NFC East title. Smith also had the team’s
only sack — which resulted in a safety — during Washington’s firstround playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Smith continued to build his work ethic during the offseason,
which featured multiple workouts with Galette. The two got together often and participated in on-field pass rushing drills if they were
both in town. Smith learned some tips about the art of pass rushing
from Galette, and he was disappointed to receive a text earlier this
week from Galette about the season-ending injury.
But Smith knows Galette, like the rest of the organization, is in
his corner as a full-time starter this year.
“That was a great shoutout from him,” Smith said of Galette’s
tweet. “He saw how hard I worked, and we always talked about the
things we want to do this season, how great the team was going to
be having a great pass rush and a lot of weapons in the pass rush.
The great things we was looking forward to this season and having
high sack numbers as a group and just working hard together.
“Nothing is going to change [with Galette gone]. I’m just going to
continue to work hard, work on our pass rush and continue to get
pressure on the quarterback.”
T TRENT WILLIAMS
Washington’s Trent Williams hosts Hogs 2.0 workout in Houston
By Aaron Wilson, Houston Chronicle
July 14, 2016
In the old tradition of the legendary Hogs, Pro Bowl offensive
tackle Trent Williams organized a series of workouts and teambonding exercises in Houston.
Williams gathered the majority of the Washington offensive line
- including Morgan Moses, Cody Booth, Spencer Long, Austin Reiter,
Josh LeRibeus, Nila Kasitati, Al Bond, Takoby Cofield, Kevin Bowen,
Arie Kouandjio, Shawn Lauvao, Ty Nsekhe - for a Hogs 2.0 workout.
The workouts were held at O Athletik, a new state-of-the-art,
35,000-square foot training facility in The Heights that includes a
boxing gym, a sand pit, hot yoga, indoor artificial turf surface, a
steep man-made running hill covered in artificial turf, organic juice
bar and underwater treadmills. The gym is owned by Williams, Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson and four partners.
“Hogs 2.0 is an attitude we’re trying to bring back,” said Williams, a Longview native who played collegiately at Oklahoma. “We
had one of the most legendary offensive lines in the Hogs. That’s
our tradition. We’re trying to pay our respects to them. We can
probably never live up to those standards, but we’ve got our goals
set high and we try to live up to those standards. As long as we
chase the stars, maybe we’ll land on the moon.”
Williams and the other linemen along with tight end Jordan Reed
and linebacker Perry Riley worked out in Houston under the direction of trainer and O Athletik partner James Cooper for the past
three days.
“I think it’s amazing that Trent thought to reinvent it, and a lot of
it comes back to the mentality and the culture that has changed in
Washington,” said Vince Taylor, Williams’ Dallas-based agent. “It’s
going to be an exciting season. Moving forward, they can leave their
imprint on the game. It’s a good thing.”
“It was a lot of fun getting to do this,” Moses said. “Just to be
able to get some time together before training camp, this was outstanding.”
That included hot yoga, conditioning drills, weightlifting, running
up the hill, working in the sandpit and doing drills. The linemen also
feasted on a big dinner at Steak 48.
“We got some pretty good work in,” Williams said. “We got everybody brushed up and knocked the rust off. The biggest thing for
me is as guys we can bond. It’s been a great experience.”
A former Alabama standout, Kouandjio enjoyed his time in
Houston.
“Trent looked out for us, had all of us come out here,” Kouandjio
said. “Just to be around each other for a few days was awesome.
The workouts were no joke. Hot yoga was pretty tough. We did some
good drill work, a bunch of cardio, ran up the hill backwards. And we
had an awesome steak dinner. It was a great time all-around.”
