GAME RELEASE

2 2016 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

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 fund-ing 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 partici-pate 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 title-winning season in 2012, that mission came to the forefront as the team celebrated its 80th anniversary.

“This year, the Washington Redskins will be celebrating our 80th anniversary season. I’m proud to be with the franchise in our na-tion’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, cheer-leaders, team officials and more to fans throughout the entire re-gion 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 en-shrined 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 over-whelmed. 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 de-fense that made it all work for me.”

On Wednesday, Aug. 31, the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation and Redskins Alumni Association hosted the 55th an-nual Welcome Home Luncheon at the Hilton McLean in Tyson’s Cor-ner. 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 typically the only annual event where fans and corporate partners have the chance to spend time with the entire Redskins team. Each table is usually guaranteed at least one player or coach seated with the attendees. Proceeds from the event benefit the youth programs of the Wash-ington Redskins Charitable Foundation and Redskins Alumni Asso-ciation.

ALUMNI CENTER

This year, the Redskins used the event to honor their players for contributions both on and off the field. Quarterback Kirk Cousins earned 2015 Bobby Mitchell Offensive Player of the Year presented by STS International, defensive end Chris Baker earned the 2015 Sam Huff Defensive Player of the Year presented by comScore and kicker Dustin Hopkins received the 2015 Mark Moseley Special Teams Player of the Year Award presented by MGM National Har-bor. Other presented awards included the Redskins Salute Award presented by Lockheed Martin for efforts with the military and the Redskins Community Man of the Year presented by Washington-First Bank.

Also among the Redskins Alumni Association’s premier events is the team’s annual Alumni Homecoming celebration, which the Red-skins 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 com-bined 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 for-mer 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 ros-ter for the team’s Super Bowl XXVI victory as well.

In Beathard’s 11 seasons as General Manager, the Redskins av-eraged 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 sup-portive 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

The Washington Redskins are embarking upon several ini-tiatives throughout October in honor of National Breast Can-cer Awareness Month.

Throughout the month of October, fans can join the Washington Redskins in promoting breast cancer awareness by purchasing a limited-edition Red-skins Fight Breast Cancer T-shirt (pictured bottom right) designed by Redskins alumnus Chris Cool-ey. Net proceeds will benefit the ZTA Foundation and the Brem Foundation, dedicated to educating women about risk factors and screening options and providing access to critical diagnostic tests for uninsured women. T-shirts are available online at www.Redskins.com/FightBreastCancer and are be-ing sold in-stadium at Section 124 this week.

The Women of Washington Redskins (WOW), the official women’s platform of the Washington Redskins, kicked off a lineup of events in sup-port of breast cancer awareness with the WOW Redskins Charity Ride on Oct. 1. WOW teamed up with the Redskins Charitable Foundation, along with Redskins two-time Super Bowl Champions Gary Clark and Ravin Caldwell, at SoulCycle to support the Brem Founda-tion. On Saturday, Oct. 8, WOW hosted a free Fitness Boot Camp led by Nike Trainer Deanna Jefferson at FedExField. Members were encouraged to bring a gently used or new bra to support the Brem Foundation’s Re-Bra initiative, a bra-donation program that provides bras to low-income wom-en. In support of the Redskins Charitable Foundation, WOW will make a donation on behalf of every member who donates a bra, with each donor receiving a limited edition BCA T-shirt.

Friday, Oct. 14 will feature the Friday Night Lights THINK PINK!® initiative, a partnership between the Washington Redskins Charita-ble Foundation and Fairfax County Public Schools designed to pro-mote breast cancer awareness and the importance of early detec-tion at the high school football level. W.T. Woodson High School will host Lake Braddock Secondary School and the game will feature pink gear and stadium equipment.

The Redskins’ annual Breast Cancer Awareness Game, pre-sented by Inova Health System, will be hosted this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Redskins’ Breast Cancer Awareness Game will feature players, coaches and referees wearing pink game apparel, additional on-field and in-stadium branding, and 34,000 pairs of gloves will be distributed to fans at the gates, along with information about how to receive mammogram and breast self-exam reminders from Inova by texting GAMEPLAN to 99000 – all to help raise awareness. Much of the apparel worn at games through-out October by players and coaches, along with special game balls and pink coins, will be auctioned off at NFL Auction, with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society’s Community Health Advo-cates National Grants for Empowerment (CHANGE) program.

Fans attending the game will be welcomed by Tanya Snyder, wife of Redskins owner Dan Snyder and NFL Breast Cancer Awareness Spokesperson, and hundreds of Zeta Tau Alpha members distrib-uting THINK-PINK!® ribbons and breast cancer awareness educa-tional materials. Mrs. Snyder and ZTA started the THINK-PINK!® campaign for breast cancer awareness in 1999. At the time, the Redskins were the only team in the league to participate. With the founding and continuous support of Mrs. Snyder and the Wash-ington Redskins, ZTA created a national model for THINK-PINK!® throughout the NFL. Currently, all 32 teams in the NFL participate in the campaign.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

Mrs. Snyder and the Washington Redskins Charitable Foun-dation, in partnership with the American Cancer Society, will

host the ninth annual All-Star Survivors Celebration at Redskins Park on Monday, Oct. 17.

The All-Star Survivors Celebration will pamper, support and celebrate 31 area women currently battling breast cancer. Each of the 31 women rep-resents each of the 31 days in National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During the event, the breast cancer survivors, or “All-Stars,” will receive new jeans donated by Gap Inc., as well as new wigs, scarves and a Redskins gift bag. All-Stars will be

treated to lunch, makeup consultations, massages and a behind the scenes tour of Redskins Park from

Redskins players. The Redskins will also participate in and sup-

port the following ongoing initiatives throughout the month of October:

• WOW will feature an interactive map on WOW-redskins.com to promote breast cancer education

and the importance of early detection by helping women find the breast cancer screening center

closest to them.• WOW and Mrs. Snyder will welcome the Red-

skins Charitable Foundation’s All-Stars, 31 women currently battling breast cancer, along with more

than 200 WOW members, in a special pink-themed pregame party. Guests will receive

WOW pink rally towels.• WOW will donate $1 to the American

Cancer society on behalf of each new member who joins the club throughout

October. Toyota, the presenting partner of WOW, will match this donation at the end of

the month, up to $4,000, to benefit breast can-cer research and outreach programs.

• Toyota will donate $50 to the American Cancer Society for ev-ery catch made by the Redskins this season to encourage fans to make the “Crucial Catch” and get screened annually – last season the Redskins completed 360 catches making Toyota’s donation $18,000.

The Redskins breast cancer awareness campaign is part of the NFL’s A Crucial Catch initiative. Any questions regarding the Red-skins breast cancer awareness campaign or Mrs. Snyder’s breast cancer initiatives should be directed to Alexia Grevious of Redskins Public Relations at 703-726-7077 or [email protected].

GAME RELEASE

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” turn-around in team history. Gruden became the sixth coach in team his-tory 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 third-year tight end Jordan Reed, who finished the season with 87 re-ceptions 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 even-tual 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 of-fensive 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 sea-sons, 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 champion-ship 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 of-fensive 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

HEAD COACH JAY GRUDEN

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 Or-lando, he spent six seasons (1991-96) at quarterback for the Tampa Bay Storm, winning four AFL titles and being named MVP of Aren-aBowl 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 Red-skins draft pick Howard Schnellenberger at the University of Louis-ville (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.

» The Redskins are now in the midst of their first three-game winning streak since a four-game stretch to close the 2015 season.

» The Redskins earned their first win against the Ravens in Bal-timore all-time and evened their all-time road record against the Ravens at 1-1.

» The Redskins earned their first regular season win in the city of Baltimore since defeating the Baltimore Colts, 14-13, at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 23, 1955.

» The Redskins held the Ravens to 10 points, the fewest points allowed by the Redskins since Week 2 of the 2015 season vs. St. Louis (10).

» Crowder’s punt return for touchdown was the Redskins’ first since Oct. 26, 2008, when Santana Moss returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown at Detroit.

» Crowder’s touchdown snapped a streak of 124 regular season games without a punt return for touchdown for the Redskins, which had been the longest active streak in the NFL.

» The 85-yard return by Crowder was the longest by a member of the Redskins since an 87-yard return for touchdown by Antwaan Randle El at Indianapolis on Oct. 22, 2006.

» At 23 years and 114 days old, Crowder became the youngest member of the Redskins to return a punt for a touchdown since Brian Mitchell (23 years, 35 days) at Cincinnati on Sept. 22, 1991, according to records provided by Pro Football Reference.

» Wide receiver Pierre Garçon recorded his first touchdown re-ception of the season on a 21-yard pass from Cousins in the third quarter.

» The receiving touchdown was the 35th of Garçon’s career and his 19th as a member of the Redskins. With the score, he tied Char-lie Brown and Clint Didier for 15th-most receiving touchdowns in team history.

NOTES FROM LAST GAME

» Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan recorded a sack on the final play of the first half. The sack was the 50th of his career, allowing Kerrigan to become the third player in team history to reach 50 career sacks since the NFL adopted sacks as an official statistic in 1982 (Dexter Manley and Charles Mann).

» Defensive lineman Ziggy Hood recorded his first sack as a member of the Redskins, dropping Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco for an eight-yard loss in the second quarter.

» The sack was Hood’s first since Week 6 of the 2014 season as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

» Linebacker Terence Garvin and linebacker Trent Murphy split a sack in the third quarter. The half-sack was the first of Garvin’s career.

THE OPPONENTThe Philadelphia Eagles enter Week 6

with a 3-1 record and second-place rank-ing in the NFC East this season. Philadel-phia finished the 2015 season with a 7-9 record and a second-place finish in the division. This is the Eagles’ first season under Head Coach Doug Pederson.

Rookie quarterback Carson Wentz was selected by the Eagles in the first round (No. 2 overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft last April. This season, Wentz has completed 91-of-135 pass at-

tempts (67.4 percent) for 1,007 yards and seven touchdowns.

Running back Ryan Mathews leads the Eagles in rushing with 44 attempts for 146 yards and a team-high three rushing touch-downs on the season. Darren Sproles has added to both the rushing and receiving efforts this season, posting 24 carries for 96 yards as well as 14 receptions for 183 receiving yards with a touchdown through five weeks.

Wide receiver Jordan Matthews is in his third season with the Eagles after recording 997 receiving yards in his 2015 campaign. He leads the Eagles in every receiving category this season, post-ing 19 receptions for 269 yards with two touchdown receptions.

Safety Rodney McLeod is the Eagles’ leading tackler this sea-son, recording 22 tackles (21 solo) in addition to posting a team-high two interceptions. Defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (4.0) and de-fensive end Brandon Graham (3.0) have combined for seven of the team’s 13 sacks.

DOUG PEDERSONDoug Pederson is in his first season

as head coach of the Philadelphia Ea-gles. Pederson, formerly the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, was hired in January, bringing a com-bined 19 years of NFL experience as a coach and a player.

Pederson got his start as the offen-sive quality control coach with the Ea-gles from 2009-10. In his two seasons in that role, the Eagles combined for 868 points and set single-season franchise scoring records in 2009 (429) and 2010 (439). In that same season, the Eagles’ offense threw for the fifth-most passing yards in franchise history (4,089), then-ranked second in franchise history.

He was then promoted to the quarterbacks coach with the Eagles from 2011-12. During the 2011 season, the Eagles made franchise history with the offense setting the record for the second-most net yards in team history (6,386) and a franchise-record 356 first downs. As quarterbacks coach, Pederson helped then-quarterback Michael Vick become the second quarterback in league history to pass for more than 3,000 yards and rush for more than 500-yards in consecutive season.

Following his initial stint with the Eagles, Pederson went on to become the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013. In Pederson’s first season as an offensive coordinator, he helped turn the team around from a 2-14 record to an 11-5 record and a playoff run. This marked the largest one-year turnaround in team history.

As the offensive coordinator for the Chiefs from 2013-15, Ped-erson also helped Kansas City attain a 31-17 regular-season record and a playoff appearance in both the 2013 and 2015 season. Dur-ing those three seasons as the team’s offensive coordinator, the Chiefs would rank first in the NFL in rushing touchdowns (54), third in yards per carry (4.64), and seventh in total rushing yards (6,018). In the 2015 season, Pederson helped the Chiefs recover from a 1-5 start to finish the season winning 11 consecutive games, setting a team record. During that season they also had their first playoff victory in 22 years.

Under Pederson’s tutelage, the 2015 Chiefs team committed the third-fewest turnovers (50) in the NFL since 2013. In that same season the Chiefs would rank tied for first in the NFL in rushing touchdowns (14), fourth in rushing yards per game (143.8), and tied for fifth in points per game (27.8).

Before coaching, Pederson played for 12 years in the NFL as quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Philadel-phia Eagles and Cleveland Browns. As a backup quarterback for the Packers, he was part of a team that won Super Bowl XXXI, captured two NFC Championships (1996 and 1997) and earned eight playoff berths and six division titles. During his playing career, Pederson was coached by three of the most successful coaches in NFL his-tory: Don Shula, Mike Holmgren and Andy Reid.

Pederson attended college at Northeast Louisiana (now Loui-siana-Monroe) where he received his degree in business manage-ment. He also earned four letters and was a three-year starting quarterback. He led the Southland Conference in passing in his se-nior year completing 205-of-367 passes. He set a school record for passing yards (619) in 1989.

A native of Bellingham, Wash., Pederson and his wife, Jeannie, have three sons, Drew, Josh and Joel.


GAME RELEASESERIES HISTORY

Sunday’s game between the Redskins and the Eagles will mark the 163rd overall meeting between the division rivals. This is the 162nd regular season meeting between the two franchises, not including two meet-ings in 1943 when the Eagles merged with the Steelers to form the Phil-Pitt Steagles.

The Redskins lead the all-time regular season series 83-73-5. With exception of the 1943 season, the two teams have played a home-and-home series every year since 1936. Including a playoff win in 1990, the Redskins’ 84 combined victories against the Eagles are their most against any op-ponent.

A win this week would give Washing-ton four consecutive victories against the Eagles for the first time since the 1985-87 seasons.

GAME RELEASE

Redskins 38, Eagles 24

Associated PressDec. 26, 2015

PHILADELPHIA -- Wearing his “NFC East Champions” hat, Kirk Cousins made sure he got the last word.

Cousins finished his news conference, turned on his way out and screamed: “How many of y’all picked us to win the division?” It sounded like his “You like that?” rant two months ago.

The Washington Redskins are division champions, thanks to Cousins and his right arm.

Cousins threw four touchdown passes and had a season-high 365 yards and the Redskins beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-24 on Saturday night to win their first division title in three years, com-pleting a worst-to-first season.

“This is the most satisfied I’ve been as a player,” Cousins said. “It’s a big accomplishment. Now we need to build from here.”

Only 4-12 in 2014, the Redskins (8-7) began their turnaround when Cousins rallied them from a 24-0 first-half deficit to a 31-30 win over Tampa Bay on Oct. 25. After that game, he yelled at report-ers: “You like that?” It’s become a rallying cry for the Redskins and their fans, who continued the chant for several minutes after the game.

“We felt like we were an up-and-coming football team and could compete with anyone,” coach Jay Gruden said.

The Redskins have won three straight for the first time since a seven-game winning streak helped them secure the division in 2012 in Robert Griffin III’s rookie year.

DeAngelo Hall returned DeMarco Murray’s fumble 17 yards for a momentum-changing TD in the third quarter. Cousins threw TD passes to Chris Thompson and Pierre Garcon and a pair to Jordan Reed.

The Eagles (6-9) entered the game in control of their playoff hopes. They needed to beat the Redskins and Giants next week to win the East. Washington’s win also eliminated New York (6-8).

“I think we’re good enough,” Coach Chip Kelly said. “We just have to put them in better position to make plays. It’s 100 percent on my shoulders. It’s unacceptable.”

Two teams have clinched division crowns in Philadelphia in six days. Arizona won the NFC West with a 40-17 win over the Eagles last Sunday night.

While the Redskins head to the playoffs, the Eagles and Kelly face a challenging offseason. Kelly took control of personnel deci-sions last year and overhauled a team that went 10-6 in each of his first two seasons.

It clearly didn’t work out.Meanwhile, Gruden made a gutsy call in August to bench Griffin

and give the starting job to Cousins.It paid off.Cousins was outstanding down the stretch with 16 TD passes

and only two interceptions in the last seven games. He showed re-solve after a mental blunder at the end of the first half cost the Redskins at least three points.

Cousins took a knee with no time-outs and 6 seconds left from the Eagles 6 with a 16-10 lead. He realized his mistake and tried to spike the ball, but the clock ran out. He made up for it in the second half.

“I’m very proud of Kirk,” Gruden said. “He came in and kept his composure just like he has all year. Put his nose to the grindstone.”

Cousins tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Thompson to give Washington a 23-10 lead. He converted three third-down passes on the series after Jaylen Watkins dropped an interception.

The Eagles answered quickly as Murray ran in from the 4 to cut it to 23-17.

LAST MEETING

But Murray then dropped a pitch, Hall picked it up and ran it back for a 30-17 lead late in the third quarter.

“I can’t take my eyes off it,” Murray said. “It was my fault.”The Eagles missed a chance to take the lead early in the second

quarter when Sam Bradford overthrew a wide-open Zach Ertz on third-and-9. It would’ve been a 60-yard TD.

They missed another opportunity on the following series when Nelson Agholor dropped a 28-yard TD pass and settled for Caleb Sturgis’ 34-yard field goal that cut it to 13-10.

After going three-and-out on their first possession, the Red-skins scored touchdowns on the next two. Cousins connected with Reed over the middle on a 22-yard scoring pass to cut it to 7-6. Dustin Hopkins missed the extra point wide left.

Cousins then hit Reed over the middle again for a 12-yard TD pass and a 13-7 lead.

YARDS PER PLAYThrough the first five weeks of the 2016 season, the Redskins

have produced yards per play at a near-record pace. Washington’s 5.98 yards-per-play average currently sits shy only of the 6.17 mark set by the 2012 Redskins, which led the NFL that season and stands as the team’s best average since the 1970 merger.

AVOIDING THREE-AND-OUTSIn the Redskins’ first 53 offensive possessions of the 2016

season, defenses have limited the Redskins to only four three-and-outs. Washington’s three-and-out percentage of 7.5 percent ranks first in the NFL this season.

DIVISION PARITYParity 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 miss-ing 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.

GAME RELEASE

FUMBLESEn route to every practice, Redskins players pass two tackling

dummies. Each dummy has a football attached to its arm via velcro, and each day, Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry commands his play-ers to knock the balls loose before stepping onto the practice field.

The exercise is meant to instill and reinforce a mentality for forcing fumbles, and Washington’s performance in that category under Barry appears to support the process.

ICING THE PUNTERThrough the first five weeks of the 2016 season, 41.5 percent of

all drives in the NFL have resulted in punts. Meanwhile, Redskins punter Tress Way’s season has been almost as notable for his work as a passer (1-for-1, 31 yards) as it has for his work as a punter (14 punts, 42.3-yard average).

The Redskins have punted only 14 times through the first five weeks of the season on 53 offensive possessions, boasting a league-leading 26.4 percent average.

RETURN OF THE RETURN GAMEThe Redskins received limited contributions from their punt re-

turn unit in 2015, averaging 4.8 yards per return, the second-fewest in the NFL. It marked the fifth consecutive season the team had ranked in the bottom half of the NFL in punt return average.

Redskins coaches remained steadfast behind returner Jamison Crowder entering 2016, and early returns have justified their faith. The Redskins enter Week 6 this season leading the NFL with a 24.3-yard team average on returns this season. The Redskins have not finished in the Top 5 in the NFL in punt return average since leading the league in the category in 1995.

GAME RELEASE


The Redskins’ heritage at offensive line runs deep in team lore, dating back to the beloved “Hogs” in the 1980s and 1990s. Their legacy instilled an appreciation for football’s oft-anonymous work-ers in Redskins fans, and since that era of dominant line play, Red-skins fans have called for a return of that identity.

Whether the offensive line can or should resurrect the “Hogs” nickname has long been a matter of debate, but what is not up for debate is the team’s commitment to trying to create the next era of outstanding offensive line play in Washington.

When General Manager Scot McCloughan joined the Redskins in January 2015, he spoke of a desire to create a football team with a big, physical identity. To that end, McCloughan made two large moves in his first offseason — one in scope and one in size.

The first move may loom largest, as exactly one week after tak-ing the General Manager job, McCloughan named Bill Callahan as Offensive Line Coach. Three months later, McCloughan and Calla-han made another big move, drafting behemoth 6-foot-5 Outland Trophy winner Brandon Scherff with the No. 5 overall pick. Scherff, now the starting right guard, pairs with young tackle Morgan Moses to form a right side of the offensive line that the Redskins hope to feature for years to come.

Among the pieces already in place upon Callahan and Scherff’s arrival in 2015 was one of the game’s elite left tackles — Trent Wil-liams. Williams, a four-time Pro Bowler, has blossomed since being selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. The Red-skins’ offensive captain nicknamed “Silverback” is often described as a freak athlete, an imposing 320-pounder who recorded a 34.5-inch vertical and 4.87 40-yard dash at the 2010 NFL Combine. His breathtaking combination of size, speed and strength often leaves coaches, teammates and observers in awe.

“You can’t teach what Trent Williams has,” Head Coach Jay Gruden said in 2014. “He’s a giant of a man plus he’s got the feet of a ballerina, so that is genetics right there at its finest.”

Williams has continued a tradition of strong left tackle play in Washington this century. Between Williams (2012-15) and former Redskins great Chris Samuels (2001-02, 05-08), Redskins left tackles have been selected to eight of the last 11 Pro Bowls.

Beyond Williams’ immense physical gifts, the cornerstone of the offensive line has matured and developed into an unquestioned team leader. This past July, Williams assembled the offensive line at his training facility in Houston for four days of “Hogs 2.0” train-ing prior to camp. Per the Washington Post, “Williams paid for it all out of pocket, including the flight, lodging, training and matching Hogs 2.0 apparel.” Jeff Bostic, a former center who was a founding member of the original Hogs, spoke to the unit at training camp in 2016 and commended the group for aspiring to The Hogs’ ideals.

“We’re not saying in any way that we’re capable of filling those shoes, but we are saying that we want to carry that bond and that type of tenacity they played with,” Williams said. “That’s why we’re saying ‘2.0’ instead just ‘the Hogs’ because we could never be the original Hogs, but we can try to carry out that demeanor and that camaraderie they played with.”

BILL CALLAHAN

Bill Callahan knows all about “Boss Hog.”Joe Bugel, known colloquially as “Boss Hog,”

spent three decades in the NFL helping shape some of the most iconic offensive lines in football, creat-ing Washington’s beloved “Hogs” and helping pave the way to glory for the Redskins in the 1980s and 1990s.

It’s a legacy that Bill Callahan, already one of the most es-teemed offensive line teachers in the game today, admires and hopes to emulate.

“I’ve always admired what Joe Bugel has done,” Callahan said during the offseason. “He had a great reputation then as he does now and he’s just been kind of a mentor in a lot of ways watch-ing his film and watching what he’s done with players over the years.”

In a sense, the identities and legacies of Callahan and the Redskins parallel one another. Both boast impressive histories of strong offensive line play, and both want to take cues from the franchise’s past to perpetuate the tradition of great trench play in Washington.

“No single offseason transaction may impact this franchise more than the hiring of Callahan away from the rival Dallas Cow-boys,” Washington Times columnist Thom Loverro wrote prior to Callahan’s debut season in Washington in 2015.


GAME RELEASE

Kirk Cousins has repeatedly said he knows he has to prove him-self in 2016. But for the fifth-year NFL quarterback, having to prove himself is nothing new.

Cousins entered 2016 following a record-setting 2015 campaign. In his first full season as a starter, he set single-season team marks for attempts (543), completions (379), passing yards (4,166) and 300-yard passing games (seven) in leading the Redskins to an NFC East title. Cousins threw a touchdown pass in all 16 regular season games in 2015, becoming 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.

The year was temporary vindication for Cousins, who did not even earn the starting role until Head Coach Jay Gruden said “It’s Kirk’s team” on Aug. 31 that year.

“He’s always in the meetings, he’s on time, he’s wanting to do extra work, he’s studying the film, he’s a gym rat, he’s a film rat. That’s just what you need to be a successful quarterback in this league,” Gruden said in training camp in 2016. “The great quarter-backs are that way in their first year and in their 15th year, that’s the way you have to be at the position, and he’s got the mental makeup to be a great one.”

The 2015 season was another opportunity for Cousins to prove himself in a football career defined by those moments. As a prep quarterback at Holland (Mich.) Christian H.S., he was lightly recruit-ed, fielding a small handful of late scholarship offers, primarily from MAC programs. When Michigan State showed late interest, Cousins mentions that he took his official visit to East Lansing hoping to re-cruit the coaching staff rather than have the coaching staff recruit him.

That lightly regarded recruit would go on to earn Michigan State’s starting role as a sophomore, beating out future NFL quar-terback Nick Foles in the process. He became only the second play-er in Spartan history to be named team captain as a sophomore en route to becoming a three-year captain for the program. He set records in virtually every passing category in school history while appearings in 45 games, starting 39 of his last 40 contests.

Cousins once again had to prove himself upon transitioning to the NFL level. He was the second quarterback selected by the Red-skins in the 2012 NFL Draft and entered the league having to com-pete with veteran Rex Grossman for backup duties. Cousins proved himself capable as a rookie that season in a couple of crucial situa-tions, including leading a game-tying drive in an eventual overtime win against the eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens in Week 14 and winning his first career start in Cleveland a week later to keep the team alive for its eventual NFC East title that season.

Now in his fifth season with the Redskins, Cousins has appeared in 35 games with 30 starts, completing 748-of-1,142 passes for 8,628 yards with 54 passing touchdowns. He ranks in the Top 10 in team history in completions, passing touchdowns and passing yardage. Cousins has also accrued 14 career 300-yard games, tied for second-most in franchise history.

So while some observers wait for Cousins to prove himself again, the quarterback has already garnered respect around the NFL.

“I don’t know what people are looking for. He threw for over 4,000 yards and over 25 touchdowns [in 2015]. The last six games of the season his quarterback rating was over 100,” Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin said prior to Week 1 in 2016. “He needs no endorsement from me.”

After his breakout campaign as a starter in 2015, the Redskins franchise tagged Cousins for 2016. Playing on the one-year fran-chise tag doesn’t faze Cousins, who has viewed his entire football career as a series of one-day opportunities.

“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 four-year 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,” Cousins said during training camp. “So I don’t think things have changed a whole lot in that regard. I have got to go out there and prove myself each and every game of every season. When you do that, I think the rest will take care of itself.”

Early in his career, Jordan Reed flashed his talent, but a myriad of injuries and other factors limited his productivity in his first two NFL seasons from 2013-14. But since the start of the 2015 season, Reed’s ability has been on full display.

In 39 career games with 18 starts for Washington, Reed has compiled 215 career receptions for 2,232 yards with 16 receiving touchdowns. In Week 4 of the 2016 season against Cleveland, Reed recorded his 200th career reception in his 38th career game, be-coming the fastest tight end to reach 200 career receptions in NFL history, surpassing Pro Football Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow.

JORDAN REED

Reed led all Redskins players in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in 2015, 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 a year ago, 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 to-tal 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).

“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

GAME RELEASE

There was a familiar feel to the Redskins’ pursuit and signing of “surprise” free agent cornerback Josh Norman in the 2016 offsea-son. Two years earlier, the Redskins made one of the biggest im-pact 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-per-reception 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 re-corded 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-ty-ing 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 time-frame.

“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 under-neath 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.”

PIERRE GARÇONWhen 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 appear-ance 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 Week 6 having appeared in 63 games with 61 starts for the Redskins since 2012, recording 319 receptions for 3,738 yards and 19 receiving touchdowns in four-plus seasons. His 319 receptions with Washington already rank in the Top 10 in team history.

Garçon has caught a pass in all 63 games he’s played with the Redskins, the third-longest streak by a player in Washington since the 1970 merger.

OFFENSIVE PLAYMAKERS

JAMISON CROWDERJamison Crowder entered his rookie season in 2015 with expec-

tations of assuming the team’s role at punt returner, but Crowder rapidly exceeded those limits and earned the team’s top slot receiv-er 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.”

In Week 5 of his sophomore campaign in 2016, Crowder ended the Redskins’ 124-game punt return touchdown drought with an 85-yard touchdown at Baltimore. His punt return for touchdown was the Redskins’ first since Oct. 26, 2008, when Santana Moss returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown at Detroit.

At 23 years and 114 days old, Crowder became the youngest member of the Redskins to return a punt for a touchdown since Brian Mitchell (23 years, 35 days) at Cincinnati on Sept. 22, 1991, according to records provided by Pro Football Reference.

“He’s one of those kids: You can put him in a phone booth and you probably wouldn’t get a hand on him.”- Receivers Coach Ike Hilliard to The Washington Post’s Liz Clarke

Last season, Crowder ranked third among NFL rookies in recep-tions (59) and fourth in receiving yards (604) in 2015.

On the day Redskins players reported to Richmond, Va., for training camp in 2015, the team announced it had reached a multi-year 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 selec-tion, 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 85 regular season games and two postseason games 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 simultane-ous 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 sub-dued 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 Red-skins 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. Hous-ton’s J.J. Watt (76.0), Denver’s Von Miller (66.5), Kan-sas City’s Justin Houston (56.0), Los Angeles’ Robert Quinn (52.0), Kerrigan (50.0) and Oakland’s Aldon Smith (47.5) have combined for 348.0 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 18 forced fumbles in his young career, the most by a member of the Redskins since 1994 and tied for the most by any active NFL player since 2011.

Kerrigan’s impact on the Redskins has transcended foot-ball, as he was honored with the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2015. In addition to participating in nu-merous events through the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation, Kerrigan welcomed 185 guests to the Grand Hyatt Washington in 2015 for his third Celebrity Waiter Night, rais-ing more than $100,000 for his Blitz for the Better Foundation, which provides support to seriously ill, special needs and physi-cally challenged children throughout the Greater Washington D.C. area.

GAME RELEASE


JOSH NORMANWhen the Carolina Panthers rescinded cornerback Josh Nor-

man’s franchise tag and allowed the All-Pro defender to enter un-restricted free agency on April 20, roles instantly became reversed. The 28-year-old lockdown corner became the subject of teams try-ing to lock down his services.

The Redskins mobilized quickly, dispatching Defensive Coordi-nator 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 Ash-burn 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 pre-mier 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.”

PASSES DEFENSED (NFL, 2016):

Player Team PD1t. David Amerson Oak 91t. Trumaine Johnson LA 93t. Josh Norman Was 83t. Marcus Peters KC 83t. Aqib Talib Den 8

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.

“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 foot-ball when you come down here to the NFC East. So I’m loving it.”

- Cornerback Josh Norman

In 2015, 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 recov-ered (two) in addition to tying for the league lead in interceptions returned for touchdowns (two). His highly decorated 2015 cam-paign resulted in a myriad of honors, including All-Pro selections from both the Associated Press and Pro Football Writers Associa-tion 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 im-mediately.

“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 an-ecdote. “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 build-ing at 8:00 Monday morning to work.’ So, that to me said a lot.”

CORNERBACK CORNER

BASHAUD BREELANDThe Redskins believed they found a gem in the fourth round of

the 2014 NFL Draft when they selected cornerback Bashaud Bree-land 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 be-hind 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 intercep-tions, 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 help-ing 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 inter-ception in a single game.

With picks in Weeks 5-6 last year, Breeland became the first member of the Redskins to 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 Mar-tin broke free down the right sideline with a clear path to a game-clinching 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-yard line 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.”


GAME RELEASE

KICKER DUSTIN HOPKINSThe Redskins surprised many in Week 2 of the 2015 season

when they elected to move on from kicker Kai Forbath, the fran-chise 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-of-28, third-best single-season percent-age 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.

Hopkins has opened the 2016 season 12-for-13 on field goal at-tempts, with his only miss coming on a 56-yard attempt into 30 mph wind gusts at Baltimore. In Week 3, he tied a team record with five field goals in a 5-for-5 performance in a victory.

Beyond Hopkins’ ability to boot the ball through the uprights and 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 last season. After facing an early 24-0 defi-cit, 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 Spe-cial 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.

“His onside kicks, they’re like magic balls. I don’t know how he keeps them in play.”

- Head Coach Jay Gruden

It was only the fourth successful onside kick by the Redskins since 2000 and ended a streak of 18 unsuccessful onside kick at-tempts by the Redskins over the previous nine seasons.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPECIAL TEAMS

PUNTER TRESS WAYSince his arrival in January 2015, General Manager Scot Mc-

Cloughan has stressed multiple desires. One was to create compe-tition 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 eval-

uating 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-sea-son 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 since 1939.

While Way’s left leg has been on display since 2014, the Red-skins gave their third-year punter a chance to show off his right arm in Week 3 of the 2016 season. Locked in a tight, divisional road game against the New York Giants, Way threw a perfect sprial to cornerback Quinton Dunbar for a 31-yard gain on a fake punt to convert on fourth down. The fake punt was the Redskins’ first suc-cessful fake kick of any kind since Week 10 of the 2009 season vs. Denver, when punter Hunter Smith connected with fullback Mike Sellers for a 35-yard touchdown.

Though Way was new to Washington in 2014, he was no strang-er to playing for the Redskins. The University of Oklahoma prod-uct 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.

GAME SUMMARIESSept. 12, 2016 GAME 1 FedExField (Landover, Md.) STEELERS 38, REDSKINS 16

LANDOVER, Md. – The Washington Redskins fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 38-16, in front of an announced crowd of 79,124 people at FedEx-Field in Week 1.

The Redskins opened the season on Monday Night Football for the 11th time since the introduction of the broadcast package in 1970. It was also the team's third straight opener against an AFC opponent, marking the first time the team opened with AFC opponents in three straight seasons since the formation of conferences following the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

Washington ran out to an early 6-0 lead on two field goals by kicker Dustin Hopkins in the first quarter. Facing a fourth-and-1 at the Wash-ington 29-yard line early in the second quarter, Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin opted to go for it, as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger con-nected with Antonio Brown for a 29-yard score to take the lead.

The Steelers added two more passing touchdowns and a field goal before the Redskins responded with 10 points on a Hopkins field goal and a one-yard Chris Thompson touchdown run in the second half to cut the Steelers' lead to eight points. However, the Steelers put the game away with two fourth quarter drives culminating in rushing touchdowns by running back DeAngelo Williams.

The game marked the end of a couple of noteworthy streaks for quarterback Kirk Cousins. With a third quarter interception on his 21st pass attempt of the game, Cousins snapped a streak of 252 consecutive regular season pass attempts at FedExField without an interception, dating back to Week 1 of the 2015 season. The streak – which extends to 298 consecutive attempts when including postseason play – was the longest streak of consecutive home pass attempts without an interception in team history.

The game was also Cousins’ first without a passing touchdown since assuming the starting role prior to the 2015 season. His streak of consecutive games with a touchdown pass ended at 17, including postseason play, which ranked as the second-longest in team history (23, Sonny Jurgensen).

GAME SUMMARIESSept. 18, 2016 GAME 2 FedExField (Landover, Md.) COWBOYS 27, REDSKINS 23

LANDOVER, Md. – The Washington Redskins fell to the Dallas Cowboys, 27-23, in front of an announced crowd of 80,612 people at FedEx-Field in Week 2.

After facing an early 10-0 deficit, the Redskins rallied back to take a 17-13 lead on the first drive of the third quarter when quarterback Kirk Cousins connected witih wide receiver Jamison Crowder for an 11-yard touchdown. Ths score was the first of four lead changes in the second half.

The Cowboys responded with a six-yard touchdown run by quarterback Dak Prescott to take a 20-17 lead, but kicker Dustin Hopkins re-sponded with two field goals in the third quarter to give Washington a 23-20 lead entering the fourth quarter. However, the Cowboys retook the lead for good on an 11-play, 80-yard drive culminating in a touchdown by former Redskins running back Alfred Morris.

For the game, Cousins completed 28-of-46 passes for 364 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The 300-yard game was the 14th of Cousins' career, including postseason play, tying him with Joe Theismann (14) for second-most in team history. The game snapped Cousins’ streak of nine consecutive regular season games with a completion percentage of 65.0 or better, dating back to 2015. The streak was tied for the second-longest in the NFL since 1960, trailing only Joe Montana (10 in 1989).

Running back Matt Jones recorded his first rushing touchdown of the season, the fourth of his career, on a 14-yard run in the second quarter. The rushing touchdown was his first since Week 5 of the 2015 season at Atlanta.

The contest was safety DeAngelo Hall's 100th career regular season game with the Redskins, joining Darrell Green (295), Brig Owens (158), Pat Fischer (126), Ken Houston (112), Mark Murphy (109), Reed Doughty (107), Fred Smoot (101) and Todd Bowles (100) as the only defensive backs to play 100 regular season games for the team.

GAME SUMMARIESSept. 25, 2016 GAME 3 MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.) REDSKINS 29, GIANTS 27

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Washington Redskins earned their first victory of the 2016 season with a 29-27 win against the New York Giants in front of an announced crowd of 78,368 people at MetLife Stadium in Week 3.

The back-and-forth affair featured six lead changes, including five in the second half alone. The Giants stormed out to a 14-3 first quarter lead, but three Dustin Hopkins field goals and a 44-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to DeSean Jackson allowed the Redskins to cut the score to 21-16 at halftime. On his touchdown reception, Jackson surpassed 8,000 career receiving yards in regular season play, becom-ing the ninth active player to reach the mark.

The Redskins took their first lead of the game in the third quarter when wide receiver Jamison Crowder took a screen pass 55 yards for a touchdown on third-and-15. On the play, Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams — who spent the majority of the second half at left guard following a rash of injuries to the Redskins' offensive line — erased two Giants defenders with a single block. As the two teams traded field goals and exchanged the lead, the Redskins made a number of key momentum-shifting plays in the second half.

Punter Tress Way hit cornerback Quinton Dunbar for a 31-yard gain on a fake punt on fourth-and-12, leading to a Hopkins field goal. Early in the fourth quarter, Dunbar later came up with a highlight reel, one-handed interception in the red zone to deny the Giants points. In doing so, Dunbar became the first member of the Redskins to record a reception and an interception in the same game since cornerback Champ Bailey on Dec. 24, 2000, vs. Arizona.

Trailing by one in the fourth quarter, the Redskins engineered a 10-play, 56-yard scoring drive featuring eight runs and culminating in a 37-yard go-ahead field goal by Hopkins, his team-record-tying fifth of the day. On the Giants' final possession, Su'a Cravens picked off Eli Manning, securing the win for Washington.

GAME SUMMARIESOct. 2, 2016 GAME 4 FedExField (Landover, Md.) REDSKINS 31, BROWNS 20

LANDOVER, Md. – The Washington Redskins defeated the Cleveland Browns, 31-20, and earned their first home win of the season in front of an announced crowd of 76,249 people at FedExField in Week 4.

The Redskins shot out to an early 14-0 lead, capping each of the team's first two offensive possessions with touchdown passes to tight end Jordan Reed. The first touchdown pass of the game, an eight-yard pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins to Reed, came on Reed's 200th career reception. With the catch, Reed became the fastest tight end in NFL history to reach 200 career receptions, reaching the milestone in 38 career games and surpassing the mark set by Pro Football Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow, who did so in 39 career games.

The Browns responded in the second quarter, tying the game at 14-14 with a rushing touchdown by running back Isaiah Crowell and a passing touchdown from quarterback Cody Kessler to wide receiver Terrelle Pryor Sr. Kickers Dustin Hopkins and Cody Parkey traded field goals at the end of the second quarter, evening the score at 17-17 at the half.

The Redskins defense responded in the second half with three takeaways, the franchise's first three-takeaway second half since forcing four turnovers at Denver on Oct. 27, 2013. The Redskins trailed 20-17 entering the fourth quarter, but running back Chris Thompson scored on a five-yard reception and running Matt Jones capped a 117-yard rushing day with a one-yard touchdown plunge.

With the comeback, the Redskins recorded come-from-behind victories in the fourth quarter in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 13-14 of the 2012 season.

GAME SUMMARIESOct. 9, 2016 GAME 5 M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore) REDSKINS 16, RAVENS 10

BALTIMORE – The Washington Redskins defeated the Baltimore Ravens, 16-10, in front of an announced crowd of 71,318 people at M&T Bank Stadium in Week 5.

With the victory, the Redskins improved to 3-2 on the season and earned their first regular season win in the city of Baltimore since defeating the Baltimore Colts, 14-13, at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 23, 1955.

The Ravens opened the game with a nine-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to take a 7-0 lead less than five minutes into the contest. However, the Redskins' defense would stiffen the rest of way, holding the Ravens to 10 points during the contest, the Redskins' fewest points allowed since Week 2 of the 2015 season.

Wide receiver Jamison Crowder scored his first career punt return for touchdown on an 85-yard return in the first quarter. The punt re-turn for touchdown was the Redskins’ first since Oct. 26, 2008, when Santana Moss returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown at Detroit.Crowder’s touchdown snapped a streak of 124 regular season games without a punt return for touchdown for the Redskins, which had been the longest active streak in the NFL. However, swirling winds resulted in a missed PAT, leaving the score at 7-6 in favor of the Ravens.

After a 21-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Pierre Garcon gave the Redskins the lead early in the second half, the game swung in later in the third quarter when Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley intercepted a pass by quarterback Kirk Cousins and raced toward the end zone, only to fumble the ball for a touchback at the goal line. The Redskins responded with an 11-play field goal drive to pushed their lead to six.

The Ravens mounted a final drive that appeared to end with receiver Breshad Perriman hauling in a 23-yard touchdown pass with 30 sec-onds remaining. However, an official review revealed that Perriman's second foot landed out of bounds, erasing the score and allowing the Redskins to force a game-winning turnover on downs three plays later.

GM SCOT MCCLOUGHAN‘Look at the film. It doesn’t lie’

By Charles Robinson, Yahoo! SportsJune 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 end-less stream of practice tape awaited his staff. On his left, a wall of televisions might be flickering with some form of NFL Films. High-lights 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. Visi-tors might come in and stare over their shoulder, making conversa-tion 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 ar-rived and asked about cornerback Josh Norman, McCloughan’s en-try 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 cham-

pionship, 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 oppor-tunity to sign an All-Pro cornerback, especially one who was com-ing 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 de-parture 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 replace-ment, 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 in-terests that he take a step forward in his development. If that hap-pens, 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 with-out a deal in place.

HEAD COACH JAY GRUDENJay Gruden defies the odds in winning over the Redskins’ locker

room

By Dan Steinberg, The Washington PostSeptember 11, 2016

Becoming head coach of the Redskins is something like appear-ing on “Bachelor in Paradise”: The experience won’t last long, it’ll definitely make you famous, and yet it’s hard to leave with your reputation intact.

Mike Shanahan still hasn’t gotten another job after his meltdown in Washington, if you don’t count his commercials for NFL Ticket Exchange. Jim Zorn was done in by a bingo caller. Marty Schotten-heimer lasted one year. Steve Spurrier wrote in his new memoir that he knew he was sunk after his first season in Ashburn; “this has no chance of working,” he remembers telling his wife before his sec-ond and final season.

A year ago, Jay Gruden appeared set to join that crew. After win-ning four games in 2014 and then benching the quarterback he had ostensibly been hired to rescue, Gruden felt like a short-timer, in charge of counting life vests as the ship went down yet again.

Gruden’s response? He swapped out several of his assistant coaches, but he didn’t change his approach, remaining the same player-friendly, wise-cracking, ball-chucking extrovert who got the job. If it worked, this approach would seem charmingly refreshing. If it didn’t, he would be lumped in with Spurrier and Zorn: first-time NFL head coaches who were in over their heads in Washington. The latter felt like the betting favorite.

But for the 2015 season, at least, charm won out. Only two coach-es in the Dan Snyder era have produced a winning record within two years: Joe Gibbs and now Gruden. Only two coaches Snyder hired have won a division title: Shanahan and now Gruden. Things that would have been used against him in a flailing campaign — label-ing one game a “Code Red,” chasing wide receivers around during practice, getting his nipple twisted on-camera by DeSean Jackson — became endearing instead. In the process, Gruden won not just the division, but the locker room.

“He’s a real players coach, that’s the only way I can describe it,” as long snapper Nick Sundberg put it. “He’s absolutely, 100 percent a players coach, and everybody on the team frickin’ loves him.”

Washington has had a flip-flop approach to head coaches: a Very Serious veteran (Schottenheimer, Gibbs, Shanahan) followed by an inexperienced fun-loving first-timer (Spurrier, Zorn, Gruden). Can you imagine Jackson grabbing Schottenheimer’s nipple? Or Shana-han face-washing his biggest star during a locker room scrum, as Gruden recently did to Josh Norman? But this is one-of-the-guys Gruden, so it apparently works. The atmosphere is professional, but not uptight. Business casual, call it.

“He hasn’t changed since day one,” said veteran Kedric Golston, who’s on his fourth head coach in Washington. “He’s not trying to fit into what some would say a ‘disciplined’ head coach is. He’s a coach that will joke around with you. He lets his personality come out. But the expectation doesn’t change, from one end of the spectrum to the next. He is who he is, he lets his personality come out, but he still expects great things out of the group.”

“He’s a players guy. In this league, a lot of coaches don’t really have relationships with their players,” Jackson added. “He’s just staying himself and staying true to who he is.”

(And that famous nipple pinch? “You know, he’s a touchy guy; every time he walks by he wants to hit you and rough you up and stuff,” Jackson explained, “so that was my little time to get him back.”)

The next challenge for Gruden? To make that approach — more pal than dictator — work for a second straight year, with the Red-skins facing not preseason scorn, but significant expectations. The past two seasons, there weren’t enough hopes for anyone to be disappointed. Gruden’s third season here will be the first in which a letdown is even possible.

If this weighs on Gruden, he does a terrific job covering it up. He still makes the same one-liners at his players’ expense. (Asked re-

2016 FEATURE CLIPScently about oft-injured rookie Josh Doctson’s promise that it was “go time,” Gruden publicly wondered if this meant “go back to the training room.”) He still intentionally refers to players by the wrong names, smiling at them when they turn their heads in surprise. And he still takes the same relationship-building approach with his play-ers, even the youngest ones.

“I didn’t get the hard-nosed, angry-all-the-time vibe from him,” said rookie Su’a Cravens. “It feels like he’s like another one of your teammates. … He handles his business, and he knows how to build relationships with his players.”

Asked to explain Gruden’s charm, one player pointed to lunch time at Redskins Park. Shanahan didn’t show up much in the team cafeteria, and players assumed he was in his office, poring over vid-eotapes to see how they had acted in team meetings. Gruden? He regularly joins different groups of players at lunch, asking about their families, making non-football conversation, telling jokes and busting [chops], as more than one player put it.

Some of this feels like more than just Jay Gruden being Jay Gruden. It feels like a coach who has apparently proved that the Redskins job isn’t too big for him, that he won’t be swept out of here in a year or two like some of his predecessors. Gruden said last week that “everybody is a lot more comfortable” in year three; include him high on that list.

“He’s way more relaxed,” said Jack Gruden, Jay’s 19-year old son, who is often around the team. “I don’t think he’s changed in his coaching. I think he just got more confident working and being around the guys he’s with now. He’s just more comfortable being a head coach.”

That Gruden advanced to this point feels like an upset. A year ago this week, he was listed by one oddsmaker as the second-most likely NFL coach to lose his job. But more than a dozen NFL coaches have been fired since his arrival in Washington. The Wizards and Nationals both made coaching changes. And the first-time head coach in Ashburn — sticking with his offense, his gut feeling and his unpretentious style — made it to year three. Asked to sum up his coach, Sundberg went with this: so [bleeping] smart at Xs and Os, and yet a blast to be around.

Last year’s division title will still seem like a fluke if Gruden can’t repeat the trick, and there are plenty of non-believers. Still, he’ll have a chance to redefine what it is to be the head coach of the Redskins. Fate attempted to twist Gruden’s nipple, in other words, and Gruden grinned and twisted it right back.

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR SEAN McVAYHe’s the NFL’s Best Head Coaching Candidate. And He’s 30.

Meet Sean McVay.

By Andy Benoit, MMQBAugust 2, 2016

It’s a Tuesday night in June, and Washington’s football head-quarters are mostly empty. It’s been a few hours since the second day of the team’s final minicamp practice wrapped up, and of-fensive 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 Washing-ton’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 Oak-land Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII, when McVay was 16. Asked whether he has any issue working under someone half his age, Cal-lahan 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 ef-ficient 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 pro-ceeding 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 grandfa-ther, 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 grandfa-ther’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 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 in-terior 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 vibran-cy. 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 im-personating 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

2016 FEATURE CLIPSgraduated from Miami (Ohio), where his career as a receiver and re-turn specialist was hindered by injuries, he went to the NFL combine in Indianapolis and interviewed for a job with Jon Gruden, a long-time 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 Has-lett (fired by the Rams after ’08) and with a little-known offen-sive 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 ex-perts 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 out-side the box. It was, as Cindy McVay puts it, like getting your mas-ters 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 Washing-ton’s Mike Shanahan for an offensive quality control job. The con-versation transitioned from computers and data processing to ac-tual 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 be-ing 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 off-season 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 rat-ing: 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-de-signed offense in football. Cousins, to his credit, allowed it to func-tion and prospered under the circumstances.

“I could be here a long time talking about Sean’s help in my de-velopment 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 en-abled 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 differ-ent 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 every-thing 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 Wild-Card round, when FOX put him on full screen and analyst Troy Ai-kman 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-and-goal from the one-yard-line and wound up kicking a field goal. Mc-Vay regrets running the ball twice on the first two downs that fol-lowed.) 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,” 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 per-sonal 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.

OLB COACH GREG MANUSKYGreg Manusky pushes Redskins outside linebackers with energy,

zeal

By Anthony Gulizia, The Washington Times August 23, 2016

ASHBURN | Practice had commenced for all of five minutes be-fore Greg Manusky was hurling agility bags at his outside lineback-ers’ legs.

“I’m your fullback,” he bellowed. “Five bucks every time I cut you down.”

The drill was simple. The Washington Redskins‘ outside lineback-ers coach instructed his players to engage the blocking sled, then charge at him as if they were pursuing the quarterback. Manusky threw the bags at their feet to simulate a block from an oncoming running back or fullback in pass protection, challenging them not to break their stride.

“This is like taking candy from a baby,” Manusky howled after

2016 FEATURE CLIPSthe first two reps. “Cuttin’ ‘em down like lawn dogs today.”

On the third rep, Trent Murphy engaged the blocking sled and karate-kicked the bag when Manusky tossed it, causing his fellow outside linebackers and the coach to nearly keel over with laughter. Murphy regained his concentration, restarted his rep and the drill continued.

Throughout the preseason, Manusky, who’s in his first year as the Redskins‘ outside linebackers coach, has buzzed around prac-tices with unabated enthusiasm. On the field he’s as relentless as a jackhammer, pushing his players through drills with an energy more suited for gamedays than a sunny Tuesday in August.

“My heart’s probably going to explode, but I want enthusiasm,” Manusky, 50, says with a grin. “The thing is, as a coach or as a teacher, you want them to be involved and have some excitement. The way you coach your players is the way they’re going to act and how they’re going to perform. I like energy and that’s what they’re giving me.”

In the meeting room Manusky is sharp, keying in on what he wants to see from his outside linebackers as well as the rest of the defense, pointing out little nuances such as the expected safety ro-tations on a certain play.

The players have responded well to Manusky’s presence, es-pecially after not having an outside linebackers coach last season. The responsibilities were split among defensive coordinator Joe Barry and his assistants. During pass-rush meetings, the outside linebackers piled in with the defensive linemen and coach Robb Akey. Other times, they worked with inside linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti

“It helps a lot because you have that individual attention,” said second-year outside linebacker Preston Smith. “He breaks down film only for us, only for the outside linebackers and it’s great be-cause we sit down and get to break it down one by one.”

Manusky swears that his energy on the field now is dialed down from his playing career. He played 12 NFL seasons with the Red-skins, Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs from 1988-99 af-ter going undrafted out of Colgate. The hard hits he’d deliver to op-ponents matched his intensity.

“I was throwing up, psyched out, butting heads and stuff like that,” Manusky said of his pregame routine when he was a player. “I’m downplaying it now as a coach, but I emphasize every [freak-ing] snap is important because it is, it can turn the tide and they’re in that position to turn the game around.”

What has helped the Redskins‘ outside linebackers the most throughout the preseason is that Manusky can break things down from different perspectives. He’s as intense as he is educated, hav-ing spent the last nine seasons as a defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers and San Francisco 49ers. He coached the Redskins linebackers in 2001 and moved on to the same position with the Chargers from 2002-06.

“He’s awesome, I haven’t been with him too long and he’s one of my all-time favorites ever,” said Trent Murphy, who had transi-tioned to defensive end this offseason but switched back to outside linebacker after Junior Galette tore his right Achilles tendon before training camp.

“He’s hilarious. He talks about it all the time, that it’s a long sea-son with camp and preseason and postseason, so you’ve got to be able to get your work done and keep it light, take time for that too and he does a good job balancing it. I appreciate him a lot for that. He’s a damn good coach.”

Greg Toler, who played cornerback with the Colts from 2013-15 while Manusky was the defensive coordinator, has had a first-hand look at the coach’s positive influence. Toler pointed to Manusky’s ability to breakdown a defense through every assignment and how it helped him develop into a more consistent cornerback.

Toler was eager to sign with the Redskins this offseason and join Manusky, even though he’d be working solely with the outside linebackers.

“When you don’t see him, it’s a drag of a day for me personally,” Toler said.

DL CHRIS BAKERBaker’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 Rodg-ers, which also meant a chance to dance, something Baker did fre-quently 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 back-seat 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 hav-ing a breakout season while playing alongside his childhood friend, nose tackle Terrance Knighton. The loss to the Packers was disap-pointing, 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 fo-cused 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,” Bak-er 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 keepThe timing was too perfect to let the opportunity slip last off-

season. The Redskins were originally interested in Knighton, then a free agent after two seasons with the Denver Broncos, and Knigh-ton 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 Knigh-ton 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, Connecti-cut, was coming true.

“I was extremely happy,” Baker said. “I knew how good of a play-er 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 of-ten 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 fum-

2016 FEATURE CLIPSble. 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 quar-terback 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 unof-ficial 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 dominat-ed 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 sum-mer 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 set-ting. 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 fresh-man 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-body insulted Scirrotto’s girlfriend.

Later in October, during a fraternity party at the university’s stu-dent union, a fight began outside between linebacker NaVorro Bow-man 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 hap-

pened 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 af-fairs 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 inci-dents. He also pleaded guilty to defiant trespassing, a misdemean-or 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 promi-nent NFL pass rusher was a winding one that tested his faith. Af-ter 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 pre-season. Retained as a restricted free agent in 2013, Baker started the final three games of the season and was rewarded with his cur-rent 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 cry-ing.”

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. John-son, 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 changeThis 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 bitter-sweet 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 see-ing 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

2016 FEATURE CLIPSin 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 En-hanced Training Champions in Largo, Maryland. The goal is for Bak-er 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 promi-nent 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 COUSINSKirk Cousins says he won’t change, even with $20 million deal

By Jim Trotter, ESPN.comMarch 18, 2016

KAPALUA, Hawaii -- The thick beard has been replaced by stub-ble that comes from going a day without shaving. That might be the only thing different about Washington quarterback Kirk Cous-ins 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 accom-plishments or rewards that would boost my salary or up my num-bers. 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 mul-tiyear contract, but the former Michigan State star said he’s com-fortable 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 pre-paring for a football game, you’re not ready to play the game on Wednesday; you prepare to get ready for Sunday. I think negotia-tions 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 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 inconsis-tency 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 chem-istry 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 sec-onds 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 sea-son, 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 sea-son? 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 fore-seeable 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 room-mates 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 mini-camp. 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 support-ive, 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. Cous-ins took those words to heart during contract negotiations, ac-knowledging 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 ev-erybody’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, com-fortable 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 PostJuly 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 Red-skins Park for the summer, and I went to turn it back on, and the bat-tery 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 sea-son 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 Cous-ins? 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 bur-den 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 dou-

bled as a trivia question. Heck, you could do a whole trivia night 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 be-came the first Washington quarterback to do so since Jason Camp-bell 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 accom-plished veterans and rolled with the odd preferences of quarter-

back-guru head coaches. Nevertheless, they haven’t had a quarter-back start the majority of their games for five consecutive seasons since Rypien. They haven’t had a quarterback hold down the start-ing 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 jour-ney 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 or-ganization. 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 long-term 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 four-year 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 valu-able 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 CRAVENSRedskins expect Su’a Cravens to man one ‘position’ — playmaker

By Mike Jones, The Washington PostAugust 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 draft-ing 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

2016 FEATURE CLIPSgo with ‘A’ for athlete, or ‘PM’ for playmaker. Because that’s the im-age 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 line-backer,” 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 of-fenses, 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 de-fense, 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 Cra-vens displayed a great vertical leap and snatched a throw over the middle.

But some days, Cravens has struggled. He’ll overrun an assign-ment 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 ev-erybody’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 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 situ-ations.”

Clarity will come. By the time the preseason concludes, Barry hopes to have molded Cravens into a smart, aggressive difference-maker. 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, espe-cially 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 COMPTONWhen opportunity arrived, Redskins linebacker Will Compton

was ready

By Paul Woody, Richmond Times-DispatchJuly 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 in-formed. 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 defi-nitely 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 lineback-er 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

2016 FEATURE CLIPSlineup.”

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 be-tween 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 CROWDERJamison Crowder has been overlooked, and he wants to keep it

that way

By Master Tesfatsion, The Washington PostAugust 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 an-alyst 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 tech-nically a tight end but often lines up at wide receiver) and first-round 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 pres-sure. 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-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 mo-tivation, 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.”

DE ZIGGY HOODRedskins DE Ziggy Hood finds inspiration through son’s journey

By John Keim, ESPN.comSeptember 11, 2016

ASHBURN, Va. -- Emotion overwhelmed Washington Redskins defensive lineman Ziggy Hood as he thought about his son’s smile. It’s not just a simple gesture for his son; it represents a moment others might take for granted. Hood dabbed at his eyes and low-ered his head, ignoring teammates walking past him after a training camp practice in Richmond.

He paused for 10 seconds. And then 10 more.“My goodness,” Hood said, shaking his head.Another 10 seconds. More dabbing at his eyes.Forty-eight seconds passed before Hood could resume. You see,

that smile means the world to Hood because his oldest son, Josiah, now 6, has autism, and he and his wife, Sara, had been told plenty of things their son would never do. So that smile -- just thinking about it -- represents the journey the Hoods have traveled. Dealing with career issues is one thing, but the Hoods have had much more to handle.

Here Hood is, starting for the Redskins at defensive end Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the same organization that drafted him in the first round seven years ago. Hood always has been known as a hard worker, but his oldest son provided a bump of inspiration in Hood’s quest for a long career.

“It not only helped me become a better person, but it fed me to keep pushing,” Hood said.

The Hoods have another son, James, who is one year younger than Josiah. Hood’s wife and his mother typically take care of the kids during the season. Last season, after being cut by Jacksonville following an injured plantar fasciitis, Hood realized even more the daily challenges Josiah faced. Hood’s daily presence at home with his sons while he waited to join another team created an inspira-tional experience.

“As Josiah pushed, Ziggy pushed harder,” Sara said. “Our son never complains or fusses; he’s the most incredible son you’ve ever met in your life. Every time Ziggy felt like it was getting too hard, he would stop and say, ‘Baby Jo doesn’t complain, I don’t complain. If he’s not fussing, I need to get through this.’ Then our son James does something incredible and it’s a huge milestone. Not that foot-ball doesn’t matter anymore, but it’s so much greater than that. The boys are his everything.”

Hood wrote about Josiah and their experiences for the Players’ Tribune last year. Hood admitted to having difficulties with the situ-ation from the time his son was diagnosed.

“When you’re 22 or 23 and you have your first kid, you have all these dreams and expectations,” Hood said during training camp. “And then, boom, you get hit with this curveball. I wasn’t prepared for it. I didn’t know how to deal with stuff like that, and it took me some time. When I’d go to work, I’m thinking, ‘Damn, what did I do wrong for this to happen? Was this God’s intent for this to happen to me?’ A lot of questions, a lot of whys.”

Hood said it took him two or three years to accept the diagnosis.“When I finally accepted it, I was like, ‘What do I have to do to

make sure everyone’s comfortable,” he said. “That’s when I started getting involved and becoming more familiar with it, and instead of letting it hold me back I was able to push through it and let it be the fuel for what I need to do to make it work.”

2016 FEATURE CLIPSThere have been victories throughout Josiah’s life. The Hoods

were told Josiah would never walk -- but he did, by age 2 and a half. The Hoods use cards with pictures on them so Josiah can let them know what he wants. Sara said one therapist told them this would never work with Josiah. Within three months it was working.

“Every time they say he can’t do something, he masters it,” Sara said. “I know these are small things for most people … But he’s amazing.”

Sticking in the NFLHood’s sons could be considered a big reason he’s still pushing

to stick around in the NFL. Hood became a solid player for Pitts-burgh, though in the Steelers’ 3-4 defense the linemen’s job is to protect the linebackers so they can make plays. He did well enough that Jacksonville signed him to a four-year, $16 million deal in 2014. A year later, after Hood suffered plantar fasciitis, the Jaguars re-leased him. Chicago signed him in October, only to release him two months later. Hood was an under-the-radar signing by Washington on Feb. 2, receiving a one-year deal that some with the Redskins say might have been one of their best in the offseason.

It helps that Hood never lost his work ethic. Hood, whose given first name is Evander, grew up in Amarillo, Texas. Later, at the Uni-versity of Missouri, he gave up date nights with his now wife be-cause he had to work out. That drive hasn’t changed.

“He’s an interesting guy,” said Chip Smith, who trains NFL play-ers in the offseason in Atlanta. “I’ve put over 1,600 guys in the NFL and have 250 clients on rosters. I’ve been doing this a long time, and he is by far the hardest-working player I’ve ever trained. His [workouts] were six hours. Most vets don’t put in that kind of time. This year I saw some serious enthusiasm. He was very excited and had a renewed vigor.”

Hood also worked on altering the way he attacked linemen after working with trainer Jay Caldwell for three years. After an OTA ses-sion this spring, Caldwell phoned Hood’s agent, Andy Ross, to let him know it was finally clicking for his client.

“I’ve never seen him this dedicated or focused,” Caldwell said.Discovering motivationA lot of that goes back to the journey with his family.The Hoods see that Josiah shares a lot of the same qualities as

his father, which has helped him reach milestones.“He looks just like me but acts like Zig,” Sara said. “Just as calm

as can be, quiet as can be. Sometimes you forget Zig is in the room; if he wasn’t so huge you wouldn’t know he was there. That’s how Josiah is. Never gets mad. Chill as can be, but works incredibly hard and does not complain.”

When Hood was a free agent in 2014, he told Ross to research medical care in each city that showed interest; they were leaving Pittsburgh, where they had received good care for their son. In Jacksonville, they had 17 different doctors and six different thera-pists.

“It was more important than his contract,” Ross said of the med-ical care. “That says a lot about him. He was prepared with all that information before he got to free agency.”

While Hood found a home with Washington, there are still strug-gles. Hood doesn’t open up much about his son’s journey, though he and his wife aren’t hiding from it, either. She didn’t help him with the Tribune essay but said she cried after reading his words. They want others to know that they’re human, too. Playing football makes you popular; it doesn’t make you immune from life’s issues.

“It’s important for people to see us who we really are off the field,” Sara said.

Not that everything is now easy. The struggles to accept also remain, though it’s a battle that has decreased over time.

“I still pray that I wake up in the morning and he’s standing there waving at me and everything’s normal,” Hood said. “But I love him.”

When Hood comes home, that smile is waiting for him. Sara said Josiah is so happy, “he loses it” when he sees his father. They’ve all traveled a long way together, and for Hood, victories are seen all the time. He’s back on the field as a starter. His son has taken steps that are just as monumental in their own way.

Perhaps one of the biggest? The Hoods were told that Josiah would never talk, but now he can repeat words that he hears. While in the car about two years ago, his wife heard him say something for the first time. That word? Da-da.

WR DeSEAN JACKSONDeSean Jackson downplays his rejuvenation, but Redskins say

he’s sharper than ever


DeSean Jackson will chuckle and deny it. But ask anyone around him, and they all agree something has changed.

Accurately or not, Jackson has always had a reputation for lack-ing zeal for offseason practices, training camp and the preseason.

His spotty attendance during voluntary practices in the spring sparks an annual debate about his commitment to his team and the game. Last training camp, he seemed to take his sweet time return-ing from a shoulder injury, missing the entire preseason instead of the anticipated week or two.

But that’s the past. The Washington Redskins have seen a dif-ferent DeSean Jackson from the start of this training camp until now — as they prepare for what will be the starters’ final dress re-hearsal for the regular season.

The wide receiver has displayed a different approach to the pre-season and to football. Teammates say it’s a renewed commitment and a stronger sense of determination.

“He seems a little motivated, man,” said safety DeAngelo Hall, who matched up with the wide receiver regularly during Jackson’s six seasons in Philadelphia and does so now in Redskins practices. “He’s playing hungry right now. So I think he feels the pressure and the need to show everybody he’s still got it and that joker still got it. . . . This is the best I’ve ever seen him look.”

Wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard said Jackson always has been highly motivated. But he did say Jackson has displayed a greater focus and attention to detail this preseason.

But Jackson?“I don’t really notice too much different,” he said with a crooked

smile. “Just enjoying being in the game, man.”Jackson is indeed enjoying the game after an injury-marred

2015 season in which he posted career-low numbers.Now 29 and entering his ninth NFL season, Jackson established

himself as a star in the NFL while recording three Pro Bowl and 1,000-yard campaigns in Philadelphia from 2008 to 2013 and an-other 1,000-yard year in Washington in 2014.

But last season, his star started to fade. The training-camp in-jury and prolonged recovery got things started on a bad note, and a hamstring strain in the regular season opener — an injury some attributed to inadequate preparation — cost Jackson seven games. He returned with nine games left and caught 30 passes for 528 yards and four touchdowns.

That marked only the second time in his career that Jackson hadn’t played in at least 14 games and recorded at least 900 receiv-ing yards. The diminished returns and a projected 2016 salary cap hit of $9.25 million raised questions about whether the Redskins would deem Jackson expendable either this season or next offsea-son when his contract expires.

But the team hung on to Jackson, banking on him returning highly motivated this season. And it looks like that’s exactly what’s taking place.

As was the case in years past, Jackson attended only a hand-ful of offseason practices, forfeiting a $500,000 roster bonus. He deemed spending time with his family — including his baby son, who turns a year old this October — more important. But he kept working on his own with his trainer to prime himself for an effective preseason.

Discussing his offseason work a few weeks ago, Jackson said, “I think the physical part, first off, being able to add six pounds to me and not lose the speed . . . just this offseason, I kind of triggered me being in the weight room, just working as far as getting stronger, eating a little more and things like that.

“But still not, not only just doing that and not sitting around, not triggering my speed and not working on my speed, I’ve stayed on the track. I stayed doing my cone drills and things like that, things that I’ve been doing since I’ve been young. That’s the challenge

2016 FEATURE CLIPSabout being 29 now, going on my ninth year. People might be like, ‘He’s almost 30. He’s getting old.’ But I still feel like my speed is a great threat that I use to my ability.”

Jackson verified that from the start of training camp as he reg-ularly won one-on-one matchups with talented cornerbacks Josh Norman and Bashaud Breeland while also displaying improved ef-fectiveness on shorter routes.

“He’s been a joy to watch this preseason,” Hilliard said. “He’s been detailed, he’s been disciplined, he’s worked on some things he maybe wasn’t as good on, and I think D-Jack is getting better. His straight stem routes were lacking in detail to some degree in terms of angles that we come out and get separation.

“Of course, he’s going to get separation on his own because of his speed, but . . . understanding where we need him from a timing and spacing standpoint, it was a little different trying to get that down over the years. But there’s been less harping on it this year, and he’s been more detailed.”

Hilliard added, “He’s come here with a focus, there’s no question about it. He looks great. He’s happy. He gloats about his son any chance he gets, and he’s been fun to be around.”

It’s only natural, both Hall and Hilliard agree, for Jackson’s im-pending free agency to serve as the incentive behind the sharper form.

Jackson shrugs.“It’s just being a professional. Taking care of my business on my

end. That’s all,” he said. “I don’t really get too deep into that. I just really work to better myself and my career. I don’t put too much ex-tra pressure on myself. I’m just happy to be playing and playing at a high level. The rest will take care of itself.”

Jackson will admit to wanting to avoid the injuries of a year ago. A fierce competitor, he wants to win, whether it’s a one-on-one drill (“I don’t think it matters if it’s Josh or the 53rd man in the roster,” Hilliard said ) or actual games. Ever confident, Jackson believed that he could have gotten Washington another win or two had he not dealt with injury. So whether for contract, pride or record’s sake, he’s doing what he can now to lay the foundation for a big year. But Jackson plays it down, declining to make bold predictions.

“I’m just taking the necessary steps to get myself ready for a long season,” he said. “I didn’t get to play a full year, so I’m trying the best I can so I know I’m in the best shape I can be.

“But you can’t predict how a season is going to go regardless of how big a camp or preseason you have.”

WR PIERRE GARÇONFormer John I. Leonard WR Pierre Garcon, now with Redskins,

gives away four scholarships

By Jodie Wagner, Palm Beach PostApril 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, pre-sented 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 academi-cally and socially.

The winners applied for the scholarships, but were not aware they were selected to receive them until Monday’s awards presen-tation.

Garcon, 29, played football at John I. Leonard and later at Nor-wich (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 touch-downs.

He was the NFL’s receptions leader in 2013, catching 113 passes for 1,346 yards.

NT KEDRIC GOLSTONSurvive and advance: Kedric Golston Appreciation Tour

continues with Redskins

By John Keim, ESPN.comAugust 3, 2016

RICHMOND, Va. -- Washington Redskins defensive lineman Ke-dric 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: Enter-ing 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 go-ing 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 profes-sional. 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 pro-fessional. … 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

2016 FEATURE CLIPSsame 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 wis-dom 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 think-ing 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 JONESNFL teams trying to reduce fumbles with beeping footballs

By Stephen Whyno, Associated PressJune 25, 2016

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- Amid the hooting and hollering at Wash-ington Redskins minicamp, there’s a different sound in the air dur-ing 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, Balti-more 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 com-press 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 technol-ogy 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 foot-ball 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 Cow-boys 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 do-ing 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 look-ing 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,’’ Mor-

ris said. ‘’That’s one thing you don’t want to do is turn the ball over.’’

Redskins running back Matt Jones believes he’s finally gained an edge

By Mike Jones, The Washington PostOctober 7, 2016

A vicious blow to the head lit the fire.Redskins running back Matt Jones had taken a handoff late in

the third quarter of Washington’s game against the Giants on Sept. 25. He barreled through a hole on the right side of the line and picked up five yards before New York linebacker Devon Kennard got him by the leg and sent him stumbling to the turf. Then safety Nat Berhe flew in from the secondary and drilled Jones in the back of the head with his helmet.

Jones fumbled but, despite seeing stars, quickly recovered.The hit — completely unnecessary in Jones’s mind — didn’t draw

a penalty. But it did take some time for the running back to get up, and trainers tended to him before ushering him to the sideline against his will.

“I was so mad after that hit,” Jones recalled. “It was — I kind of snapped. I was like, ‘I’ve got kids, man! I love my little girls!’

“J-Reed was asking me, ‘Bro, you good?’ ” Jones continued, re-ferring to tight end Jordan Reed. “I was so locked in on my family and my girls, and from that point on, I was like, ‘I’m playing football for those girls. That’s what my motivation is. That’s what I’m playing for.’ ”

Jones returned in the fourth quarter a different back. After gain-ing 19 yards on seven carries during the first three quarters of the game, Jones accumulated 46 yards on 10 carries and helped lead Washington’s 29-27 comeback victory.

Against Cleveland last Sunday, Jones ran with the same fire, rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. The second half saw him produce his best work: 79 yards and the touchdown on 11 carries as the Redskins came from behind to beat the Browns,

2016 FEATURE CLIPS31-20.

Jones finally looked like the back General Manager Scot Mc-Cloughan had touted so highly since drafting him in the third round out of Florida in 2015. It was the type of performance McCloughan and Coach Jay Gruden had hoped for when they let three-time 1,000-yard rusher Alfred Morris depart to the Dallas Cowboys via free agency last spring.

It was a welcome departure from the inconsistency Jones ex-hibited last season and the first 2½ regular season games this sea-son. “I didn’t have that edge,” Jones acknowledged.

Jones paused as he sat on a plush leather couch outside the locker room at Redskins Park. The player whose jersey is No. 31 looked down at the football in his hands. It was labeled, “31 2 yd TD run 10/2/16 4th Qtr vs Browns” and will soon be shipped to his mother in Florida, who last week attended her first pro football game at FedEx Field.

‘Fighting my tail off’“You talk about needing to dig deep and fight out what you’re

playing for, and for me, I had nothing,” Jones, 23, said. “I don’t want to say nothing, but I just was like, I’m playing football because. You know how they have the speakers that come in and talk about moti-vation, and they say, ‘Find why you’re playing this game.’ I’m always sitting in the back, just like, ‘I don’t know. I’m just good at it.’ Now it feels good knowing why I’m playing football.”

Jones doesn’t know why it took so long for things to click. Daughters Aniyah, 4, and Katlin, 2, were born while he attended the University of Florida. But the hit to his head two weeks ago sent his thoughts to them, his stepdaughter and his unborn son, who is due in the spring. Suddenly, Jones said, he realized the importance of the opportunity at hand.

“I feel like I’m at the point of my life where I’m a starter right now, and I don’t want to take it for granted because stuff can happen just like that,” he said. “So, I’m fighting my tail off now to be great. Fight-ing my tail off for my girls and my family.”

Jones is the youngest of three boys raised by their mother, Bar-bara Singleton, in Tampa. She got all three involved in youth football, and since Jones never knew his father, his brother Daryl Jones Jr., who is six years older, took him under his wing. (His oldest brother, Josh Jenrette, is nine years Jones’s senior.)

Jones was 12 when his mother remarried, but those early years left a painful mark.

“Throughout my whole life, I watched my mama struggle. It took a toll on me,” Jones said. “Sometimes I would just sit and cry to see my mama come home and working her tail off for me. Sometimes I couldn’t get the shoes I wanted. I was still so spoiled to the point where I didn’t understand, and I’d be like, ‘Ma, why can’t I get these shoes?’ She’d tell me, ‘I can’t afford it right now.’ ’’

He continued, “I didn’t know my daddy. I look at my two little girls and I could never see myself walking away from them or saying, ‘I don’t have it right now.’ So, it hurts me to my heart seeing what I had to go through for my mom, and it makes me a stronger dad today.”

Jones’s mother and brothers stressed to him that football could serve as his ticket to college, to the NFL and out of poverty. Daryl ran his little brother through training exercises and football drills that he himself had learned from high school practices.

“I challenged and pushed him because you could tell he had a chance to be something special,” said Daryl, who played football for four years for the University of New Mexico and had a short stint with the Arena League’s Tampa Bay Storm. “Every week, he’d go to my high school games on Friday nights, and Saturday mornings I’d get up and go to his games, and however many touchdowns I had scored the night before, Matt would try to double them. I might’ve score only one, but you could bet that he’d score three or five.”

In addition to the training from his big brother, Jones had size on his side. Because he dwarfed his teammates and foes, his youth football coaches always had to provide officials a copy of Jones’s birth certificate.

“I basically did whatever I wanted to do in Little League and high school,” Jones recalled. “Run over kids, run around kids, had a bunch of crazy records.”

A work in progressJones followed his brothers’ footsteps and earned a college

scholarship (Jenrette played football at Fordham). At Florida, he

platooned at the running back position as a freshman and during an injury-shortened sophomore year and as a junior. His best season came as a junior when he averaged 4.9 yards a carry and scored six rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown.

Jones knows he remains very much a work in progress. When McCloughan drafted him, he compared Jones to former Seattle Se-ahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. But the 6-foot-2, 232-pound Jones still is learning how to use his size and strength to his advan-tage. Accustomed to outrunning opponents, Jones has had to learn and study how to run with a more physical style that will better suit him in the NFL, where defenders are just as fast — and in many cases the same size or bigger.

Washington running backs coach Randy Jordan also continues to work with Jones on being more decisive as a runner. Many times, Jones has gotten stopped for minimal games because he’d stutter-step instead of just running hard.

As Jordan has preached to Jones, second-guessing yourself proves costly in the NFL.

“Because he’s still young, it’s really important to remind him, ‘Where’s your eyes?’ ” the coach said. “But most importantly, what-ever decision you make, put your foot in the ground, and you make it. We all succumb to once you make a decision, the decision is done,”

Jones admitted he still missed some opportunities against the Browns last weekend. He pointed to two carries in particular on which, after reviewing film of the game, he realized he could have turned decent runs into big gainers had he recognized openings more quickly.

Jones believes those kind of missed opportunities could soon become a thing of the past.

“Running like that, finishing, having fun doing it, it’s kind of scary what I could do, but in a great way,” he said. “I think I feel better about myself now that I know why I’m doing this, and what I’m ca-pable of doing. I’ll be more capable of getting downfield. I’ll be a tougher load and will be a better asset for this team.”

G ARIE KOUANDJIOClutching his tiny American flag, Redskins lineman becomes a

U.S. citizen

By Dan Steinberg, The Washington PostSeptember 13, 2016

The latest story about an NFL player and a flag began Tuesday morning just after 11, in the great hall of the U.S. Department of La-bor’s Frances Perkins building. All 45 candidates for naturalization held miniature American flags as they sat in plastic chairs and lis-tened to government officials deliver paeans to the power of im-migration. Those included the first two candidates in the front row, perhaps the smallest and the biggest of the 45.

There was tiny Dahlia Lyons, a native of the Philippines and the only military spouse in the ceremony. And next to her was the 6-foot-5 and 325-pound Arie Kouandjio, a native of Cameroon and a reserve guard for the Redskins.

Kouandjio caressed his little flag as Deputy Secretary of Home-land Security Alejandro Mayorkas described the United States as a country “like no other, a country that always has been and forever will be a nation of immigrants.” He held it as U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez praised the assembled teachers and custodians and engineers and housewives (and professional athletes) for “adding such tremendous value to our nation.” He held it when the candidates were asked to stand by their country of origin, 38 in all. (Cameroon came after Cambodia and before Canada.) And when Perez read out some of the comments the candidates had written down, Kouandjio heard his own words quoted.

“I’m the one who said that I can finally call myself an American,” he said after the ceremony.

The 24-year-old came to this country with his family at the age of 6 and has spent three-quarters of his life here, mostly in the Washington area. His brother Cyrus, who plays for the Buffalo Bills, also plans on becoming a citizen, and Kouandjio talked about the new rights he now enjoys: He can get a passport, he can vote, he

2016 FEATURE CLIPScan run for office.

“Before, all I could do is just watch CNN or just watch Fox or just watch; I wasn’t a participating member in all decisions,” he said. “I [still] can’t be the president, which is something that I’ve always wanted to do, but I can do other things, so it’s awesome.”

If you’ve ever seen clips of one of these ceremonies, you can probably guess what it was like: lots of hugs and happiness and family members snapping photos, lots of talk of melting pots and e pluribus unum, and if it didn’t make you feel warm inside, you should probably fiddle with your thermostat. Do you still get those tingles if you’ve been to more than one of these events?

“Every single time,” said Mayorkas, himself an immigrant. (“You’ve got to put me in; this is my only chance of getting in the sports page!” he also told me. Yes, we take requests.)

But seeing Kouandjio standing for the national anthem, and re-citing the Oath of Allegiance and Pledge of Allegiance, and clutch-ing his little flag, it was also impossible not to think about what’s been happening in the NFL this fall. The same flag has provided an opportunity for athletes to express sometimes controversial opin-ions, and to start sometimes uncomfortable conversations. Now Kouandjio was being mobbed for photographs, and speaking into cameras, and posing with a U.S. cabinet secretary after pledging allegiance to that same flag.

“I was thinking about that yesterday, when everything was go-ing on,” he said, referring to the pregame ceremony at FedEx Field, when virtually the entire Redskins roster helped hold a massive flag.

Despite his line about running for office, Kouandjio — who has a Master’s degree in applied economics — mostly steers clear of poli-tics. So he paused often and spoke carefully when asked to put this ceremony in the context of current league events. His parents, he said, came to this country to give their children a better education and a better life. He said it was “only right” for him to become a citi-zen, and he said there was “a little pep in my step this morning” be-cause of the occasion. Protesting during the anthem, as some of his NFL colleagues have done, is “not the way I’d go about it,” he said.

But he also has been studying to become an American citizen.“Like many people have pointed out, people fought for their

rights to do that,” he said of the protesters. “They have the right to do what they’re doing. I mean, they’re using their platform in a dif-ferent way, to get their values across. That’s part of what America is.”

This was an event, in any case, that seemed to offer good feel-ings without reservations. And while there was a large hall full of immigrant stories — “45 people, 45 journeys,” as the labor secre-tary put it — only one of them was surrounded by officials after the event.

Perez, a Bills fan, showed pictures on his phone of Arie’s brother taken Sunday afternoon in Baltimore, and chatted with Kouandjio about the White Oak neighborhood where they both have spent time. Labor Department employees who root for the Redskins streamed toward the stage, looking for photos. Deputy Labor Secretary Chris-topher Lu grabbed his Redskins hat from his office when he read the memo about the ceremony and presented it for an autograph.

“Look, even those of us here can be a little bit starstruck every now and then,” he said.

Kouandjio had adjusted some of his work schedule for inter-views and appointments as he prepared for this event. His team-mates, he said, gave him “a lot of congratulations and attaboys.” One even attempted to attend Tuesday’s ceremony, although he was foiled either by impossible traffic or impossible parking. A tele-vision reporter asked Kouandjio to compare becoming a citizen with potentially winning a Super Bowl. “Gosh, we’ve got to say both of them are as American as you can get, right?” he replied.

“It feels great,” Kouandjio said. “I’ve been waiting for this for a very long time, and I’m happy to finally be able to call myself an American.”

CB JOSH NORMANJosh Norman is the ‘Dark Knight’ on the field, a son of rural South

Carolina off it

By Master Tesfatsion, The Washington PostJuly 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 founda-tion 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. “Every-one’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 conversa-tion.”

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-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 re-ceived 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 grand-parents, 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

2016 FEATURE CLIPSor service jobs. Sandra felt a calling to become a nurse at 10 years old. Excelling at McCormick High School in the classroom while par-ticipating 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 eventu-ally 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, Re-naldo, 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 upNorman’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 work-ing 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 second-oldest 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 in-come 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 fa-ther is a minister. “So everybody got to go over there for free to the swimming pool, playing basketball. A lot of those hard-core bas-ketball 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 routeThere have been doubters throughout Norman’s football career

as well. Norman, a safety on the Greenwood High team, had aspi-rations 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 posi-tion 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 defen-sive 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 educa-tion,” 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 Mar-rio before a Coastal Carolina road game. He often spent his week-days 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 Nor-man. He started seven games that season, recording two intercep-tions. 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 bitter-sweet,” 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 com-munication 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?” Nor-man 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 ev-erything they can in their power to — regardless of what it is.”

The city stays with himNorman’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 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 re-ceived a key to the city. On display was Norman’s American Saddle-bred 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

2016 FEATURE CLIPStheir 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 Green-wood. You can’t do all that and then try to be this whole ’nother, dif-ferent 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 super-hero 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. “Some-times 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 sea-son noted in the second half how Norman was winning “the mental game” with Beckham, but Norman later told Temple that his emo-tions 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 opportunityYou’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 play-ers 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 some-body 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 be-cause 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.

Sign up“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 com-munity 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 every-body 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.’”

TE NILES PAULNiles Paul, and his viking-style beard, is back to claim his spot on

the Redskins

By Dan Steinberg, The Washington PostAugust 1, 2016

RICHMOND — Here’s how to find Niles Paul at Redskins train-

2016 FEATURE CLIPSing 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 dur-ing 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 vi-king, 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 Washing-ton’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 prac-tices, 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 ev-erything 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 10-plus 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 trans-formed 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-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 ros-ter that has churned for years. Paul is one of just eight Mike Shana-han draft picks who remain with the team. And he’s one of just three Washington players to have earned reserved parking spots at Red-skins Park two years in a row, based on their offseason work. (The others are Pierre Garcon and Ryan Kerrigan.) Paul visited the prac-tice facility daily, Monday through Friday, throughout the spring. That’s why his parking sign is the only one with an extra note, read-ing “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 di-vision 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 REEDJordan Reed’s confidence increases, but steady work ethic key to

his rise

By John Keim, ESPN.comJuly 26, 2016

ASHBURN, Va. -- He shared a simple desire for the upcoming season with one of his trainers: stay healthy. That’s what Washing-ton 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 Hous-ton 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 Wash-ington 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

2016 FEATURE CLIPSthan in the past.

“Right now, we’re finally realizing the true Jordan Reed,” Bom-marito 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 numer-ous 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,” Bom-marito 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 be-cause 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 prob-lem 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 im-prove, 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.”

Jordan Reed, driven by more than money, thinks he can top his breakout season


RICHMOND — As he watched Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed tear through secondaries en route to a career year last season, Trent Williams sensed that his friend had something special fueling him.

Reed, who had always flashed loads of potential during his first two seasons in the NFL, had financial incentive. He wanted to final-ly avoid serious injury and stay healthy long enough and play well enough in 2015 to earn a contract extension during the offseason.

But Williams had seen plenty of financially motivated guys be-

fore. This was something different.“He was so intense, man, I never felt like it was about the money

for him,” Williams said. “I always felt like he wanted to leave his leg-acy on this game. I’m real close friends with him, so I see the fire in his eyes every day.”

Reed impressed, recording 87 catches for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns . Last spring, he earned a five-year, $46.75 million deal , which made him the third-highest-paid tight end in the league be-hind Seattle’s Jimmy Graham and Kansas City’s Travis Kelce.

Although the pay day proved gratifying, the tight end confirmed Williams’s suspicions of a stronger driving force throughout his 2015 season. Actually, there are two, Reed said.

“One thing that I always think about is my last name on my back, representing my family,” he said. “And, I’m a very competitive person. I always want to be the best at whatever I do. That’s what drives me.”

Because of those two factors, Reed hasn’t felt a true sense of satisfaction while reflecting on last season nor his offseason pay day.

He still wants to meet the expectations of his family members. He still feels the lingering presence of his grandfather and grand-mother.

“It’s just a love for my family and the pride that we all have,” Reed explained. “My grandfather was a great man, my grandmother a great woman. I think about those people when I go out and play, and I carry them with me. I try to make them proud and make my family proud. It doesn’t put pressure on me at all. They’re gone. I ask for them to be with me, and when I do that, I feel more comfortable, like there are angels with me or something like that.”

For some, just reaching the NFL would be rewarding enough. But the Reed family already has witnessed one of their sons make it. Reed’s older brother, David, enjoyed a record-setting career as a wide receiver at Utah and then reached the NFL as a fifth-round pick by Baltimore in 2010. Primarily a special teams player, David Reed (three years older than Jordan) played three seasons for the Ravens and one for Indianapolis and was a member of Baltimore’s Super Bowl-winning team in 2012.

“He always helps me out,” Reed said. “He’s my big brother so I look up to him in a lot of ways. We both know how hard it is to be successful in this league.”

Avoiding complacency is one of the biggest keys to achieving success in the NFL. After a season like last, Reed feels like he has a target on his back. He expects more attention from defenses than he already commanded. In an effort to continue growing, Reed keeps his sights on players such as Graham and New England’s Rob Gronkowski and tries to implement their strengths into his game.

“Seeing guys like Gronkowski and the things he’s been able to do makes me believe I can do those kinds of things, too,” Reed said. “That’s the mind-set that I take: ‘If someone else can, why can’t I, too?’”

Reed also spent the offseason working to become stronger and more explosive. He also continued to glean knowledge from posi-tion coach Wes Phillips and veteran teammates Vernon Davis, Lo-gan Paulsen and Niles Paul in an attempt to improve his blocking techniques. Reed’s teammates and coaches have already started to notice a difference.

“I think he’s stronger. He was a puppy when he came in here physically; now he’s filling out and he’s a bigger guy,” Coach Jay Gruden said. “He’s playing with a ton of confidence. Now he’s been in the same system with the same route tree. We can move him around and do a lot of different things with him. He’s a smart player. He can see coverages, he can work off leverage of the defenders, he’s got big strong hands and he’s excellent after the catch. Really, the sky is the limit for Jordan.”

Reed continues to strive for perfection, however, and says he can still improve every aspect of his game.

Thanks to that drive, teammates believe Reed can have a great-er impact this year than he did last year.

“I can’t wait to watch him play this year,” inside linebacker Will Compton said. “Jordan is really one of the best receivers in the whole league, in my opinion. I mean, the dude, his routes, his stems and stunners, he’s very polished when it comes to running routes, and he’s really athletic. . . . God willing, he stays healthy a full year,

2016 FEATURE CLIPSand he’s really going to emerge as the best tight end in the NFL.”

Jordan Reed could have been a statistic. Now, he’s on the verge of being the NFL’s best tight end.

By Thomas George, SB NationAugust 31, 2016

Watch Jordan Reed practice and there is guts to his work that is absolute. Watch Jordan Reed play and there is an inferno that is furious. Look at his eyes when he speaks and there is natural power that oozes severity.

There is no clown in Jordan Reed.His on switch is always on.He is not a flippant talker. The Washington tight end sat near

his home here last week and surprised himself with what he was willing to reveal from his past and where he was willing to navigate about his future. It was an atypical, in-the-moment acknowledge-ment for Reed where he affirmed that his NFL career and life justly have reached elusive stature.

As the 2016 NFL season approaches, Reed is a pinnacle player. He is a tight end with wide receiver-like skills, with a recent contract worth nearly $50 million. He is the freshest face among the NFL’s supreme. He could become an exciting architect of this entire sea-son. He is a core in his team’s bid to defend its NFC East crown. He will be a taxing matchup for defenses because of his athleticism, his growth and his will.

At age 26, with his 6’3, 240-pound edge, he is intent on proving that his team-best 87 receptions, 952 yards and 11 touchdowns last year in his third pro season were only a taste of what’s next.

“I always shy away, stay to myself, keep my head down,” Reed said. “I’m still playful. I have fun with my teammates. But even with them, I sort of keep to myself. When you are all out there in the open, more distractions, more negative things come. I don’t want to really focus on me too much.

“I am humble, I’m not cocky, but I do feel like on the field, I’m go-ing to win matchups. Make plays. Last year God blessed me with that kind of opportunity. I’m even more hungry, determined and focused. You still have to earn a contract. If you don’t, you won’t see your entire contract. You’ve got to keep performing. I see guys all around me who want to compete, want to be No. 1 and that is our mindset. Whenever I do something, I work like a champion in it. I hope to really emerge as the best tight end in the league this year. That is definitely motivation. Play all 16 games. Bring the best. I learn to see what works and what doesn’t. I’m not perfect. But I see.”

Reed spent his earliest years in New Britain, Conn. His broth-er, David, who is three years older, was more like his father. David played wide receiver at Utah and was a member of the Baltimore Ravens’ 2012 Super Bowl championship team. Jordan played at the University of Florida before being drafted by Washington in 2013.

Jordan Reed said New Britain was full of challenges, full of dan-ger. He could have been a statistic, a victim of the prevalent gun violence. He escaped.

Not once, but twice.“Once my brother made the NFL,” said Reed, “I was 19, and he

got me a gold chain with diamonds and a cross. I was home from Florida one weekend and me and my boys were walking up a street. A car swerved at us. A guy from inside says, `Yo!’ I thought it was a friend. I looked closely. Not one of our friends. They asked, ̀ Where’s the weed at?’ We said we don’t know, we’re just walking to the crib. The street light hit my chain. It was shining. He asked me if the chain was real. Then he said, `Give it to me!’ I tucked it inside my shirt. Another guy in the car pulled a gun out. He was getting ready to cock it. We took off. We ran into an area where there were trees. We stayed there for about 15 minutes. We knew the area and they didn’t. That helped save us.”

And then at age 21 ...“I was home from Florida again and went to a party. I could

quickly see it was a trash party. I thought, let me get out of here. There were five guys at the door who weren’t going to let me leave. I didn’t back down. A guy pulled out a gun. It was only a few inches

away from me. He talked a lot of junk. But I just walked away. And he let me.”

Jordan Reed realizes it only takes an instant to change a life. For his lifetime, he has been watching, absorbing, seeing what works and what doesn’t. He sees.

His mother, Karen, and his father, David Lott, are from Dubuque, Iowa. So were his grandparents, Robert and Emily Lott and Lyle and Dorothy Reed. He would often visit the farms there in Iowa up until age six. He even had his own tractor there, where he was allowed to climb it and play as if he were driving it. His grandparents called him “scud missile.” Even then, Reed was assertive. His uncle Roscoe from Watts was a drug kingpin, Reed said. There were models, all types of models. There were men like Jack Cochran, his high school football coach, too.

“Coach Cochran started out in New Britain but then got a job in New London (Conn.), about 45 miles away,” Reed said. “He asked my mother if we could move to New London, if he could continue to coach us. I was 14 when me and my brother moved there. My moth-er stayed back and was transitioning and we moved into a house in New London, me and my brother. This is how he became more like my dad, the man of the house, like a father to me.”

Reed was a quarterback. He threw touchdown passes to David. In his best season Reed threw 38 touchdown passes and only two interceptions. David went off to college and Reed stayed behind in high school in the house. Alone.

“When David went to college, he had some trouble before that and some trouble after, and all the while I was learning from him and learning from his mistakes,” Reed said. “Nobody was there to lead him. He had to learn from his own. When he left for college, I was there by myself. The electricity was off for a couple of weeks. One of my friends, Tyler, came by with his mom, Mrs. Major, to pick me up. She saw the electricity situation and said, `No, uh-uh, this won’t do.’ She insisted I come to live with them. I did. Her husband, Coach Major, was coach of the defense. I was a sophomore. They made a huge impact on me.

“Coach Major was a very serious person. He was not a clown. He was a man of service. He took care of his family. Those kinds of people have molded me. My brother helped mold me. My mother is a positive, caring person who is close by now. My father is in contact with me now and we are building our relationship. I have a friend here, Vinny Fur, a retired master chief of the Navy, who was a neigh-bor. He has taught me how to run the business of owning a home, how to be organized. I watched him. I admired him. He taught me what works.”

Sometimes the quietest people are the ones paying the most attention.

Sometimes quiet is the way to reach them, inspire them.This is what Reed says about the coach who drafted him, Mike

Shanahan, in the third round, pick No. 85 of the 2013 draft:“Mike Shanahan helped me mature. One day after practice after

a preseason game, I didn’t know the plays. I had some mental er-rors. He walked off the field with me.

“He said, `Jordan, I know you can play, but we’re not going to let you play if you don’t know the plays. You just can’t.’ He was calm and stern. I looked at him. He really got to me.

“I said, `I promise you, I will learn the plays.’ And he said, `Okay.’ And he walked off. And I thought, man, I really have to learn these plays. This coach just took my word and trusted my word. It was the ultimate spirit of coaching. I will always have a place in my heart for him. That was a big step in me becoming a real pro.”

At Florida, Reed was lost in the shuffle early, waffling back and forth from quarterback to tight end, but for his last two seasons there he insisted on playing tight end. And he did.

Think about the 84 players drafted before him --�� including EJ Manuel and Geno Smith and Montee Ball and Damontre Moore --�� and it is clear that Reed has already risen far above most of them.

Consider that he has only played tight end for two college and three pro seasons. That’s five total seasons, barely a blip for learn-ing the nuances of the position. But being a former quarterback, he says, is a benefit.

“I can feel what the defense is thinking,” Reed said. “In zone cov-erages, I know where to flatten to the soft spot. Where to get open against the safety. Where to make it an easy throw for the quar-

2016 FEATURE CLIPSterback. I know more about pre-snap reads than most tight ends. I know who’s going to cover me and that helps me decide how to get leverage. Leverage is all about positioning. Both make the differ-ence in winning matchups.”

He enjoys the bond he is building with quarterback Kirk Cousins. It is still raw, he reminds all. They have played only one season to-gether. But he envisions and hopes for a long union, the one like, he said, San Diego’s Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates share.

He fought through injuries at his career start but is healthy now. He knows he can become a better blocking tight end. That has been a focus of his offseason work. But this team wants Jordan Reed to run free, to catch the ball short and catch it deep, to catch it in the end zone and become the dominant tight end in today’s NFL game.

Jordan Reed’s answer is no clowning -- he wants that, too.“My daughter, Jada, is almost 2,” Reed said. “I was married to

her mother for a brief time. We separated. But we are back together now. I’ve got to be there for my daughter every day. I’ve got to get that right. And I am.”

That’s because, said Reed, he has learned to see what works and what doesn’t.

He sees.

LB PRESTON SMITHPreston Smith eager to assume Redskins’ pass-rush burden after

Junior Galette injury

By Master Tesfatsion, The Washington PostJuly 28, 2016

RICHMOND — In the midst of Washington Redskins Coach Jay Gruden’s first training camp news conference Thursday, pass rush-er 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.

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 situ-ation 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 De-cember, 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 Red-skins 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 nour-ishment, 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, pro-duced 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 first-round 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 togeth-er 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 WILLIAMSWashington’s Trent Williams hosts Hogs 2.0 workout in Houston

By Aaron Wilson, Houston ChronicleJuly 14, 2016

In the old tradition of the legendary Hogs, Pro Bowl offensive tackle Trent Williams organized a series of workouts and team-bonding 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, Min-nesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson and four part-ners.

“Hogs 2.0 is an attitude we’re trying to bring back,” said Wil-liams, 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 direc-tion 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.”

2016 FEATURE CLIPS“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 out-standing.”

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 ev-erybody 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 Hous-ton.

“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.”
