Head Coach Jay Gruden

Jay Gruden entered his second season with the Washing- ton Redskins in 2015 after being named the 29th head coach in franchise history on January 9, 2014. Previously a decorated quarterback in the college and League ranks and a successful NFL assistant, Gruden assumed control of the Redskins in 2014 and guided the team through a campaign in which three different quarter- backs (Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy) -re corded victories as starters. He installed an offensive system that helped the Redskins to team records in completions (364) and completion percentage (66.5) and helped produce two Pro Bowlers in his first season, earning re- peat berths for and running back Alfred Morris. Excluding interim coaches, Gruden, 46 at the time of his hiring, be- came the team’s youngest head coaching hire since hiring eventual Pro Football Hall of Famer at 40 years of age in 1981. He became the first Redskins coach hired directly from an role on another team since in 1994. Before joining the Redskins, Gruden spent his previous three seasons as offensive coordinator for the . In his tenure in Cin- cinnati, 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 selections in his three seasons in Cincinnati. Gruden was tasked with the development of quarterback Andy Dal- ton, 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 quarter- backs. Dalton’s 80 passing touchdowns ranked third-most in NFL history for a quarterback in his first three seasons, trailing only (98) and (85). Prior to joining the Bengals, Gruden served two years with the Flori- da Tuskers of the United Football League from 2009-10. In 2009, Gruden Jay Gruden, 46 at the time of his hiring, became the youngest head coach hired by the Redskins on a served as offensive coordinator as the Tuskers compiled a 6-0 regular sea- non-interim basis since the team hired 40-year-old Joe Gibbs in 1981. son record and earned a UFL championship game berth.

Kirk Cousins

Comebacks are nothing new to Kirk Cousins. As one of Michigan State’s most decorated quarterbacks, Cousins became known for signature moments. In his senior season in 2011, Cousins and his Michigan State teammates re- ceived “Best Finish of the Year” from the Big Ten Network after Cousins completed a 44-yard Hail Mary with no time remain- ing to earn a 37-31 win against previously undefeated Wiscon- sin in one of the most defining images of the 2011 college foot- ball season. His heroics continued in his final college game, as he threw for 300 yards in the Spartans’ 33-30 win against Georgia in the Outback Bowl, leading a touchdown drive in the final two minutes to force overtime in an eventual three-overtime win. Cousins’ perpetuated his late-game feats at the professional level in his rookie season, as he helped deliver in a comeback win vs. the eventual Su- per Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens during Washington’s 2012 NFC East title-winning season. Down eight with less than two minutes remaining, Cousins completed two-of-two passes including an 11-yard touchdown to Pierre Garçon. He followed with a two-point conversion on a quarterback draw, marking the first time in team history that the Redskins had scored a two-point conversion to send a game to overtime. Cousins’ performance 30-Completion Games earned the then-rookie “GMC Never Say Never” honors that week.

Capital Punishment

Leave it to the man nicknamed “Pot Roast” to try to chris- ten a new moniker for the defensive line. The Redskins entered the 2015 season with seven defensive linemen, only two of whom (Kedric Golston and Chris Baker) predated the arrival of Head Coach Jay Gruden in 2014. Dur- ing Gruden’s first offseason, the team made a splash in luring defensive end Jason Hatcher from the division rival Cowboys. A year later, the Redskins added three defensive linemen with proven NFL pedigrees in nose tackle Terrance “Pot Roast” Knighton and defensive ends Stephen Paea and Ricky Jean Francois. The turnover at the position has brought instant chemistry to the de- fensive line meeting room, and with it, a proposed nickname. “We have a very silly group chat, the D-line room,” Knighton said dur- ing training camp. “I told the group I was going on SportsNation. I was like, ‘Give me a name, somebody give me a name. Something to get people riled up about, get the fans into it.’ One of the guys texts ‘Capital Punishment.’ “I can’t really tell you who really did it, but right now, we’ll just say [Ja- son] Hatcher came up with it. He can’t get any credit for it yet. But for right now, we’re just going to give the credit to Hatch.” ABOVE: Members of the Redskins’ defensive line pose for a file photo during training camp in 2015.

You gotta play together. We’ve got a lot of veterans in the room. Obviously, we’re all veterans. I always tell Hatch we gotta keep him young. This is part of it.” While the nicknames and showings of togetherness make for great so- cial media fodder, it’s the unit’s on-field performance and sheer depth that is the source of Head Coach Jay Gruden’s excitement. “That’s what I like about our D-Line. I feel like we can keep them fresh and rotate them in there to make sure they all get a crack at it. We’re like a tag-team wrestling match, man. One guy goes out, we’ll tag one off and he’ll come in and wreak some havoc,” Gruden said. “I feel really good about our rotation. Whether it is five guys or six guys, we haven’t decided yet . They’ve all proven worthy of being in the lineup.”

Away from football, running back Alfred Morris might be best known for his beloved car — a 1991 Mazda 626 he af- fectionately names “Bentley.” Mazda volunteered 275 hours of work over four months to restore Morris’ famous ride, which he bought from his pastor for $2 in college. It’s been Morris himself that’s run like an old classic since he entered the league in 2012. Morris was one of the engines that drove the Redskins to their first team rushing title since 1933 in 2012 and has continued to drive the Redskins’ offense ever since. Morris’ 3,962 rushing yards across his first three seasons placed him among elite company in NFL history. His rushing total in his first three years was the 13th-most in league history, grouping him in a Top 15 that includes five current Pro Football Hall of Famers and several others sure to merit inclusion when eligible.

DeSean Jackson

DeSean Jackson’s reality show DeSean Jackson: Home Team premiered on BET in July, aiming to highlight what one entertainment publication called “the star receiver and the women who run his life.” Jackson returns for his second season in Washington in 2015 after an electrifying debut campaign with his new “home team” in burgundy and gold. Though perhaps diminu- tive in size, there was nothing small about his performance in 2014, as the Cal product posted team highs in receiving yards (1,169) and receiving touchdowns (six) on 56 receptions. In the process, Jackson finished the season with an NFL-best aver- age 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). But for the newly minted reality television star, Jackson isn’t without a flair for the dramatic storyline. 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. Jackson’s explosiveness and flair for the dramatic took center stage in his return to Philadelphia in Week 3 last season. Despite being listed as questionable after suffering an injury to his AC joint a week earlier, Jackson played and played spectacularly in his debut against the Eagles, posting 117 receiving yards on five receptions including an 81-yard touchdown on a Dialing Long Distance bomb in his return. That kind of explosiveness that has turned heads for Jackson’s entire No NFL player has more total touchdowns covering 50+ yards than career since he entered the league in 2008.

Darrel Young: Unsung Hero

Darrel Young entered the NFL as a college free agent linebacker out of Villanova in 2009. One position change and two head coaching changes later, Young has found a home as one of the league’s most dynamic fullbacks. A favorite of teammates, fans, coaches and media members alike, there was consternation in the 2014 off- season about whether or not then-new coach Jay Gruden — who did not prominently feature a fullback as Offensive Coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals — would have a significant role for Young. That question was laid to rest early in Gruden’s tenure. “I didn’t have Darrel Young in Cincinnati – if I had him, I would have used him,” Gruden said. “He’s very versatile, he can run, he can catch, so we’re excited about having him... The personnel will vary but DY will be a major part of this offense.” Gruden’s statements proved prophetic, as Young posted a career-high five total touchdowns in 2014, including the team’s first points of the year in Houston and two rushing touchdowns in a Week 16 win vs. Philadelphia. In Weeks 1-3, he became the first member of the Redskins to score the team’s first touchdown in three consecutive games since Fred Davis in Weeks 12-14 of the 2009 season. As a blocker, Young has helped pave the way for a rushing attack that gained 6,564 rushing yards across the 2012-14 seasons, third-most in the NFL. Among the beneficiaries of Young’s blocks is Alfred Morris, whose 3,962 rushing career yards from 2012-14 were the 13th most by any NFL player in his first three NFL seasons. Young was a crucial component of the Redskins’ league-high 2,709 rushing yards in 2012, which broke the Fullback Darrel Young (right) has been one of Washington’s unsung heroes in recent years, notably in scoring three touchdowns — including the game-winning score in overtime — vs. San Diego in 2013. team record of 2,625 set in 1983. Young is pictured here with the man he considers his hero — his brother, Sgt. 1st Class David Young, Jr. Young’s selflessness in contributing to a greater purpose extends be- yond his blocking. Throughout his tenure with the Redskins, Young has been a stalwart in the Washington, D.C. community. In 2014, the team hon- ored him for his community contributions, naming him the organization’s Walter Payton Man of the Year. In addition to his frequent work with the Redskins Charitable Founda- tion, Young is also a Big Brother to a 12-year-old boy, Xavier, through Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. At the 2014 Welcome Home Luncheon, both Young and Xavier addressed the crowd to share their common experi- ence. “I thought, ‘What am I doing that’s so important that I can’t impact a life?’” - Fullback Darrel Young to FOX Sports’ Alex Marvez, discussing his decision to become a Big Brother in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program

Though Young continues to adapt and thrive in his unsung hero role in Washington’s offense, the “hero” label is nothing new to the Young family. Young was raised in a military family, as his father served in the Army and his brother, Sgt. 1st Class David Young Jr., has completed several tours in the Middle East in recent years. Young has travelled to visit troops in Hon- duras, Japan, Africa and El Salvador and elsewhere to show his appreciation for members of the military.

“I just run 100 yards and tackle people, hit people, block people. He’s out there to serve the country. He’s the real hero in my life.” - Fullback Darrel Young discussing his brother, Sgt. 1st Class David Young Jr., on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown (segment screenshot on right)

The mentality of sacrifice and hard work that was ingrained in Young while growing up in a military family established the foundation for his success doing football’s so-called “dirty work” both as a fullback and as one of the Redskins’ leaders on special teams.

DOLPHINS 17, REDSKINS 10

LANDOVER, Md. – The Washington Redskins lost to the Miami Dolphins, 17-10, in front of an announced crowd of 76,512 people at FedExField in Week 1.

The game kicked off the Redskins’ 84th season in franchise history and the franchise’s 79th representing Washington, D.C. It was the first of 19 games on the 2015 NFL schedule that represented Super Bowl rematches, and Joe Theismann and served as honorary team captains for the Redskins and Dolphins, respectively.

The Redskins outgained the Dolphins, 349-256, including a 161-74 edge in rushing yards. The Redskins’ 161 rushing yards and 37 rushing attempts were both the second-highest totals of the Jay Gruden era (42 carries for 191 yards vs. Jacksonville on Sept. 14, 2014).

Running back Alfred Morris gained a game-high 121 rushing yards on 25 carries, recording his 12th career 100-yard rushing game and tying him with Earnest Byner, Terry Allen and George Rogers for fifth-most 100-yard games in franchise history. Morris also became the sixth player in franchise history to reach 4,000 career rushing yards as a member of the Redskins, joining John Riggins, Clinton Portis, Larry Brown, Stephen Davis and Terry Allen.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins started and completed 21-of-31 passes for 196 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. The touchdown, a four-yard pass to tight end Jordan Reed, was the 19th passing touchdown of Cousins’ career and the fourth receiving touchdown of Reed’s career.

Linebacker Preston Smith, the team’s second-round draft pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, recorded his first career sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery on a single play in the third quarter.

Despite the loss, the Redskins remain 8-4 all-time in Week 1 games at FedExField. The decision pushed the Redskins to 40-40-4 all-time in season openers, including a 24-22 record in openers since the 1970 merger.

Sept. 20, 2015 GAME 2 FedExField (Landover, Md.)

REDSKINS 24, RAMS 10

LANDOVER, Md. – The Washington Redskins earned their first victory of the 2015 season in Week 2, defeating the St. Louis Rams, 24-10, in front of an announced crowd of 72,460 at FedExField.

A week after rushing for 161 yards against the Miami Dolphins, the Redskins gained 182 rushing yards against the Rams, marking only the third time since 1950 that the Redskins have opened a season with consecutive 150-yard rushing games (1952 and 2012). It represented the first time Redskins had rushed for at least 150 yards in consecutive games since Weeks 10-11 of the 2013 season.

Running back Matt Jones recorded career highs in rushing attempts (19), rushing yards (123) and rushing touchdowns (two). The 100-yard rushing game was the first of Jones’ career and the first by a Redskins rookie since Alfred Morris on Dec. 30, 2012 (vs. Dallas). With the back-to-back 100-yard rushing games by Jones and Alfred Morris, the Redskins had two different players recording 100-yard rushing efforts in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 6-7 of the 2012 season (Robert Griffin III and Morris).

The Redskins held the Rams to zero points in the first half. Prior to Week 2, the last time the Redskins held an opponent scoreless in the first half also came against the Rams on Oct. 2, 2011 (led 14-0, won 17-10). The Redskins’ 17-point halftime lead was the team’s largest halftime margin since holding a 25-point halftime lead at Dallas on Thanksgiving Day in 2012.

The Redskins improved to 25-13-1 all-time against the Rams, including postseason play. The Redskins are now 23-11-1 all-time against the Rams in regular season play. The win was the Redskins’ first against an NFC West opponent since earning a 23-17 victory against the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 27, 2011.

GIANTS 32, REDSKINS 21

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Washington Redskins fell to the New York Giants, 32-21, in front of an announced crowd of 76,081 people at MetLife Stadium in Week 3.

Wide receiver Rashad Ross scored his first career kickoff return touchdown on a 101-yard return in the fourth quarter. His kickoff return touchdown was the Redskins’ first since Oct. 31, 2010 (, 96 yards at Detroit). The 101-yard kickoff return tied Brian Mitchell for the second-longest in team history (vs. SD on Dec. 6, 1998).

Running back Chris Thompson led the Redskins with eight receptions, marking the first time since Week 11 of the 2014 season that a running back led the team in receptions in a game (Roy Helu, Jr. vs. Tampa Bay). He scored on a four-yard reception from Kirk Cousins, Thompson’s second career receiving touch- down and his first of the season. Thompson became the first member of the Redskins to record a receiving touchdown in consecutive road games against the Giants since Santana Moss across the 2011-12 seasons.

Tight end Jordan Reed led the Redskins with 96 receiving yards on six receptions, giving him the team lead in receiving yards in back-to-back weeks for the first time since Weeks 7-8 of his rookie season in 2013.

The Redskins’ three scoring drives lasted 10, 13 and 12 plays, respectively. Entering the game, the Redskins were averaging 10.67 plays per scoring drive, the second-longest average in the NFL.

Oct. 4, 2015 GAME 4 FedExField (Landover, Md.)

REDSKINS 23, EAGLES 20

LANDOVER, Md. – The Washington Redskins evened their 2015 record at 2-2 with a 23-20 come-from-behind victory against the Philadelphia Eagles in front of an announced crowd of 74,767 people at FedExField in Week 4.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins recorded a career-high 31 completions on 46 attempts for 290 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. His 31 completions were the most by a Redskins quarterback in a single game against Philadelphia in the 161-game history of the Redskins-Eagles rivalry.

Cousins engineered a 15-play, 90-yard drive in 5:39 to complete his first fourth-quarter come-from-behind victory as a starter. It marked the second time in his career he contributed to a come-from-behind victory in the fourth quarter, joining his contributions as a reserve vs. Baltimore on Dec. 9, 2012. The fourth quarter comeback was the Redskins’ first since coming back to defeat the Tennessee Titans, 19-17, in Week 7 last season.

Cousins connected with wide receiver Pierre Garçon for a four-yard touchdown to win the game. The touchdown reception was the 30th of Garçon’s career, becoming the 40th active player to reach 30 career receiving touchdowns.

The Redskins’ first three scoring drives lasted 13, 10 and 10 plays, respectively. Washington’s nine-play scoring drive in the third quarter snapped a streak of eight consecutive scoring drives of 10 plays or more. Per the Elias Sports Bureau, the most recent NFL team to have eight consecutive scoring drives last 10 plays or more was the 2007 Indianapolis Colts (a streak of nine such drives).

The Redskins recorded a 41:08-18:52 advantage in time of possession. The Redskins’ 41:08 time of possession is the longest by the team in a game in records available dating back to 1991, surpassing the 41:04 recorded in an overtime contest vs. the New York Giants on Nov. 23, 1997.

FALCONS 25, REDSKINS 19 (OT)

ATLANTA – The Washington Redskins fell to the Atlanta Falcons in overtime, 25-19, in front of an announced crowd of 70,178 people at the Georgia Dome in Week 6. The defeat pushed Washington to 25-15-1 all-time in overtime games.

Kicker Dustin Hopkins converted a career-long 52-yard field goal with no time remaining in regulation to force overtime.

Hopkins’ 52-yard field goal was the longest by a member of the Redskins since Dec. 24, 2011 (Graham Gano, 53 yards vs. Minnesota).

The field goal came as the culmination of a drive lasting 24 seconds, the team’s quickest scoring drive by time since a nine-second drive in Week 3 at Phila- delphia last season.

The Redskins won the turnover battle, 3-2. The Redskins forced three takeaways for the first time since Week 13 last season at Indianapolis. In Weeks 4-5, the Redskins recorded multiple takeaways in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 12-13 last season.

Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan recorded two sacks. The multi-sack game was the seventh of Kerrigan’s career and his first since Week 14 last season. Kerrigan moved into fifth-place on the Redskins’ all-time sack list with a sack in the first quarter. The sack pushed Kerrigan past Brian Orakpo (40.0) in franchise- his tory.

JETS 34, REDSKINS 20

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Washington Redskins fell to the New York Jets, 34-20, in front of a crowd of 78,160 people at MetLife Stadium in Week 6. The game was the first regular season meeting between the Redskins and Jets at MetLife Stadium.

The Redskins registered three takeaways, forcing three turnovers in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 12-13 last season. The Redskins recorded multiple takeaways for a third consecutive game for the first time since Weeks 15-17 of the 2013 season and produced three first-half takeaways for the first time since Week 13 of 2014 at Indianapolis. With the performance, the Redskins posted a positive turnover margin in three consecutive games for the first time since doing so in four straight contests across Weeks14-17 of the 2012 season.

Cornerback Bashaud Breeland recorded an interception and a career-high two fumble recoveries, joining Darrelle Revis as the only NFL players through Week 6 to record two fumble recoveries and an interception in a single game in 2015.

Breeland recorded interceptions in consecutive games for the first time in his career and became the first member of the Redskins to do so since London Fletcher intercepted a pass in three straight games across Weeks 14-16 of the 2012 season. He became the first member of the Redskins to recover two oppo- nent fumbles in a single game since LaVar Arrington on Dec. 29, 2002 vs. Dallas and became the first member of the Redskins since at least 2000 to recover two opponent fumbles and intercept a pass in the same game

Safety Jeron Johnson blocked a punt in the fourth quarter, the Redskins’ first blocked punt since Dec. 24, 2006 at St. Louis (Vernon Fox). The blocked punt was recovered in the end zone by Rashad Ross, the Redskins’ first blocked punt touchdown since Nov. 7, 2004 vs. Detroit ().

Kicker Dustin Hopkins recorded a career-long 54-yard field goal in the second quarter. It was the longest field goal by a member of the Redskins since Graham Gano’s team-record 59-yard field goal vs. San Francisco on Nov. 6, 2011. Hopkins became the first Redskins kicker to record a field goal of 50 yards or more in consecutive games since John Hall in Weeks 5-6 of the 2003 season.

Oct. 25, 2015 GAME 7 FedExField (Landover, Md.)

REDSKINS 31, BUCCANEERS 30

LANDOVER, Md. – The Washington Redskins recorded their largest comeback in franchise history in Week 7, overcoming a 24-0 deficit to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 31-30, in front of an announced crowd of 72,912 people at FedExField. Prior to the 24-point comeback, the Redskins had previously over- come 21-point deficits to win three times in team history, including most recently against Carolina in 1999.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 33-of-40 passes for 317 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He also rushed three times for 15 yards including a rushing touchdown. His career-high 33 completions tied Jason Campbell’s franchise record set previously on Nov. 18, 2007 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Cousins posted the sixth game of 300 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and no interceptions by a Redskins quarterback in a win since the 1970 merger, joining Brad Johnson (Week 4 in 1999), Mark Rypien (Week 11 in 1990 and Week 11 in 1991) and Joe Theismann (Week 1 in 1982 and Week 5 in 1983). He became the first Redskins quarterback to record at least three passing touchdowns and at least one rushing touchdown in a single game since Trent Green on Nov. 22, 1998.

Including a comeback victory in Week 4 vs. Philadelphia, Cousins became the first player to throw game-winning passes in the final 30 seconds of the fourth quarter twice in the same calendar month since Drew Bledsoe in December 2005. Cousins became the first Redskins quarterback to engineer multiple fourth- quarter comebacks in a single season since Robert Griffin III (three in 2012).

Tight end Jordan Reed recorded career highs in receptions (11) and receiving touchdowns (two), including the game-winning six-yard touchdown catch in the final minute. He became the first member of the Redskins to record multiple receiving touchdowns in a game since Leonard Hankerson in Week 1 of the 2013 season and was the first Redskins tight end to do so since Fred Davis on Dec. 13, 2009 at Oakland.

The pomp and pageantry of a fall Sunday morning never wafted into the remote stretches of farmland 100 miles north of Seattle, and Scot McCloughan couldn’t take it. It was there, in Ferndale, Washington, where he had set up the headquarters of his new scouting operation, where he would review tape of college games on a near-constant loop and pull together his rankings of the top players in the country.

By all accounts, McCloughan was happy. His life had regained some measure of stability following his departure from the Seattle Seahawks in April, where he served as a senior personnel executive for four seasons. He was finally able to do things in life that someone working 80 or more hours a week could never be afforded the ability to do.

On Sunday mornings, though, that feeling of isolation hit. Wherever McCloughan looked — his television, his computer, his cell phone — he would be reminded that professional football games were being played around the country, and then it would all come back to him, the only sentiments he had known for the vast majority of his adult life.

“I just had to make sure it was right for myself, for my children,” McCloughan said. “That was first and foremost for me. I didn’t want to jump back into something that I wasn’t ready for. I went through my process, I went through my scouting service and realized it’s time.”

Eight and a half months after parting ways with the Seahawks to tend to a personal matter, McCloughan’s wishes were granted. Hired by the Washington Redskins on Thursday as their next general manager, McCloughan was introduced in that role on Friday, when he held a 45-minute press conference at Redskins Park.

McCloughan didn’t delve into specifics on his vision for the organization, frequently citing his recent arrival and his lack of familiarity with personnel. Only on Thursday did he have a chance to meet with coach Jay Gruden for the first time; in- depth discussions with the assistant coaches and members of the scouting staff will take place in coming days.

It was clear, though, that McCloughan is eager to get back on the road and delve into talent evaluation. He won’t have to wait too long: Practices leading up to the East-West Shrine Game begin on Monday, with practices for the , the premier collegiate all-star game, following a week later.

A former collegiate scout, McCloughan learned a draft-first philosophy in Green Bay and applied it during stops in San Francisco and Seattle. He is set on applying that directive in Washington, where draft choices have, on the whole, failed to pan out in recent years and the most productive players have arrived via free agency.

“I honestly think the draft is the lifeline of your organization,” McCloughan said. “But also, you’ve got to understand with free agency, that’s a tool that you can use and you can use it in a positive manner.”

Allen, the general manager for the last five years, will remain with the organization as its president. He sat alongside McCloughan during the press conference, introducing his successor by noting that he will have full control over the personnel department and the players on the team.

McCloughan also avoided specifics concerning players on the Redskins‘ roster, though he did stress after the press conference had ended that he would like to see the organization remain patient with Robert Griffin III.

The quarterback, injured for a sizeable portion of the season, struggled during his time on the field, with Gruden eager to discard the former No. 2 overall pick in favor of Colt McCoy. McCloughan recalled the circumstances that led to Green Bay in 1992, noting that it took him two seasons to learn coach Mike Holmgren’s offense.

“I think with Robert, he’s ahead of Favre from the standpoint of picking up schemes and understanding what the offense is trying to do,” McCloughan said.

Negotiations with McCloughan began on Tuesday, Allen said, during a six-hour meeting at owner Dan Snyder’s home in Potomac, Md. McCloughan didn’t visit Redskins Park until the first time on Thursday, when he signed what is reportedly a four-year contract.

Allen and Snyder, who attended the press conference but did not speak and left the moment it ended, each grilled McCloughan on the nature of the personal issues that forced him to resign as the San Francisco 49ers’ general manager in 2009 and from the Seahawks this past April.

McCloughan only spoke in generalities on Friday when addressing those situations, which have been widely reported to be linked to alcohol abuse. He said, however, that he believes he has grown “professionally and personally” and is able to handle the responsibilities the Redskins have granted him.

“I was aware when Scot was going through his situation,” Allen said. “I did talk to him about it, and we had a very forthright conversation. We’re here to support him, and he would not be taking this job if he thought that was going to be a concern.”

During his time away from the league, McCloughan formed Instinctive Scouting, LLC and put together rankings of what he perceived to be the top 150 collegiate players in the country. He sold that list to a handful of teams — he declined to say which, but Allen confirmed the Redskins were among them — and hoped to find a way out of his quiet corner of the country.

Now he’ll find himself in one of the top media markets in the league, one in which 22 different reporters asked him a question during his press conference, and mired in a rebuilding process unlike any other.

“I thought this was the time to give it a shot and see what happens,” McCloughan said. “People thought I was crazy. I really enjoyed it.”

Want a glimpse of the Redskins’ future? Look at the Seahawks’ present

By Thom Loverro The Washington Times Jan. 11, 2015

Are Washington football fans are still celebrating the playoff win Saturday night?

Washington, D.C., fans, that is — along with those in Washington state.

Are Redskins fans, as well as Seahawks fans, feeling good about Seattle’s impressive 31-17 win over the Carolina Panthers in the NFC divisional playoff game? After all, any port in a storm, right?

Why would Redskins fans get any satisfaction over a Seahawks win? Because the man who supposedly helped build the roster of the defending Super Bowl champions was introduced Friday as the alleged new architect of Washington Redskins personnel. Feature Clips 2015

Scot McCloughan — a “senior personnel executive” with Seattle — was reportedly the man responsible for drafting , Richard Sherman, , and K.J. Wright, if you are keeping score.

Of course, the general manager who may have had a small role in building the Seahawks — John Schneider — was the Redskins‘ vice president of player personnel in 2001, so they already had the guy in the building who had hired the guy they introduced Friday in the building, and let him leave.

That, though, is living in the past. That’s not the Redskins way — at least not the last 20 years or so.

The past before that, though, comes right out of the playbook for fresh starts at Redskins Park.

“Seeing all the tradition, seeing the World Championships, seeing the Hall of Fame football players and seeing the stadium sold out and just rabid fans, it all fell into place for me right now,” McCloughan said at Redskins Park on Friday during his introductory press conference.

Bless him, he mentioned five world championships — acknowledging the two this franchise won when it first arrived in Washington in 1937 and again in 1942, recognizing the NFL didn’t begin with the first Super Bowl.

But, when asked how difficult it would be to “infuse his philosophy into the organization, McCloughan answered, “The past is the past.”

His philosophy, I would assume, being winning.

One year to the day, Jay Gruden said the same thing when he was hired as Washington’s new coach.

“We’ve got to forget about the past and look toward the future every day,” Gruden said.

I’ll bet Jay Gruden remembers every single excruciating day of this past year.

McCloughan, 34, read from other excerpts from the Redskins Park fresh start playbook — hitting the most important note, how much Redskins owner Dan Snyder wants to win.

He talked about “sitting down with Mr. Snyder for about five, six hours face-to-face and just seeing the passion he had in his eyes — the passion for the fanbase, the passion for winning, and if he said it one time he said it 20 times, that’s all that matters is winning games here.

“The one thing with Dan which is incredible was just the fact that whatever it takes to win, let’s do it, let’s do it no matter what,” McCloughan said. “They deserve it — the fans deserve it, the players deserve it, he deserves it. You know, just to see — when you see a guy’s eyes light up like that and just see not aggression, but you see him just get excited like a little kid, it was cool as crud, you know?”

Again, one year to the day, Gruden read from the same script.

“I know that interviewing with Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen and everybody here that the passion for excellence is there,” Gruden said. “All they want do is win and they’re going to provide me with every avenue to win. I don’t know what happened last year and I don’t care what happened last year. All I care about next year is moving forward. I am going to provide the players with every avenue, like I said, for them to succeed and be great. So moving forward, we’re going to forget about the past and look forward to the future every day.”

McCloughan told you what he believes you can look forward to.

“I’m going to outwork the next guy no matter what,” he said. “I’m going to have great communication with everybody in the building that matters in personnel and in coaching, and when we make decisions, we’ll make them as a group. We’ll take ownership for the players and we’re going to get better.”

If we are to believe the experts, he did that in San Francisco, where he was the general manager, and he did it in Seattle, helping to build the team that manhandled the Panthers on Saturday night and may be on their way to a second consecutive Super Bowl championship.

If we are to believe McCloughan, that is the future in Washington, D.C.

It’s Scot McCloughan’s turn

By Liz Clarke The Washington Post Sept. 9, 2015

With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the practice fields out back, the southeast corner office at Redskins Park boasts the best view of the squad as it conducts daily workouts.

The prime office space belongs to Scot McCloughan, the general manager known for a keen eye in identifying talent, hired in January to rebuild an NFL team whose championships have become a distant memory. It has been 24 years since the Redskins last won a conference title.

Since bought the team in 1999, at age 34, the Redskins have cycled through eight head coaches trying to snap that drought. The recent past has been particularly dismal, with a last-place finish in the NFC East six of the past seven years and just seven victories in the past two years.

By any measure, the Redskins are a football reclamation project. And as McCloughan enters his ninth month on the job, charged with shepherding the turnaround, it’s increasingly clear that the rebuild won’t happen overnight. At 44, McCloughan is the first Redskins general manager in nearly two decades with a proven track record, having played a key role in assembling Super Bowl-contending rosters in San Francisco and Seattle.

McCloughan brings a different approach to roster-building than his predecessors in Washington, who focused on splashy signings and quick fixes. He favors building NFL teams from the ground up, as he learned as a young scout from his mentor Ron Wolf, the venerable Green Bay Packers general manager and recent NFL Hall of Fame enshrinee. The idea is to draft well and invest in the development of young players rather than buy Pro Bowlers on the free agent market.

The measuring stick by which McCloughan wants to be judged is not whether fans are dazzled by his draft-day moves or wowed by the big-name free agents he lands, but whether his signees prove worthy of a second contract and, ideally, a third.

Meanwhile, he’s working to set a tone of collegiality, open debate and shared responsibility in the team’s administrative offices.

“The thing that’s important to me is that we can have disagreements or arguments about the players, the 53 [-man roster], the draft, free agency,” McCloughan said in a recent interview in his Redskins Park office. “But when it’s all said and done, we all take ownership together and understand that we’re going to have good days and bad days. But if we stay together, there’ll be a lot less bad days. A lot less.” Feature Clips 2015

It’s a sentiment that seems obvious. But if put in practice, it would represent a sea change in the way hard times are brooked at Redskins Park, where the accusatory finger of blame, followed by a wave of firings, has been the classic response to losing seasons.

Though his contract guarantees him total control over the roster, McCloughan preaches consensus-building. And he deserves a share of the credit for the front office unanimity on the seismic shift in the quarterback ranks heading into the 2015 season.

Building a unified front

McCloughan declines to pull back the curtain on how Snyder, President Bruce Allen, Coach Jay Gruden and he all lined up in favor of naming fourth-year backup Kirk Cousins the starter over Robert Griffin III and keeping Griffin on the roster.

According to someone familiar with the deliberations, the decision to change starters turned on two points that all four ultimately conceded: - Cousins gave the Redskins a better chance to win in 2015 than Griffin, whose struggles in Gruden’s timing-based offense were increasingly evident. - And Gruden risked losing credibility with the team if he continued to preach competition and award starting jobs to the victors at every position except quarterback.

Allen, the man chiefly responsible for hiring McCloughan, confirmed the front office unanimity, dismissing a report of a deep divide on the matter.

“No rift,” Allen said in a brief interview following the team’s Welcome Home Luncheon on Sept. 2. “Bad reporting, it sounds like.”

McCloughan deflects questions about his role in that potentially franchise-defining move — and any major personnel decisions.

“It’s not about me; it’s about us,” McCloughan says. “The coaches, the players, the scouts, everybody in this building — ownership, president — all understand that we’re going to fight together and we’re going to try to build something together. It’s not an easy process, but I really feel strongly that we’re taking positive steps.”

So far, his bosses and subordinates like his approach.

“He’s always giving other people credit,” said a member of the Redskins front office who declined to speak for attribution. “He’s open to any opinion, whether he agrees or not.”

Snyder gave him a glowing endorsement at the recent luncheon attended by about 600 ardent corporate supporters. “I’d like you to know that he bleeds burgundy and gold,” Snyder said in introducing McCloughan. “He has been really working tirelessly since he got here. And I believe — I really believe — he has put together a fantastic team.”

A scout at heart

There are different types of NFL general managers, with power and responsibility that vary from team to team. Some serve as management’s chief spokesman in the media and at NFL meetings, adept at news conferences and league politics. Others are consumed by the financial challenge of juggling 53 players’ contracts without exceeding the NFL salary cap. But the heart of the job is evaluating talent. That’s the role McCloughan relishes most, happy to cede public oratory to Allen and rely on Eric Schaffer, the Redskins’ longtime vice president of football administration, to manage contracts and the cap.

Feature Clips 2015

Despite the prime view from his office, McCloughan is a regular fixture at Redskins practices. He often starts out chatting on the sideline with Snyder and Allen. But he’s most in his element when alone on the field, his face shielded by a visor, eyes locked on the drills unfolding before him.

To say McCloughan was born to do this is an understatement.

Son of a former AFL cornerback-turned NFL scout, McCloughan grew up watching game film at his father’s knee. Kent McCloughan’s job scouring the country for Raider-worthy talent was demanding during the college and pro seasons, but he passed on opportunities to climb the management hierarchy so he could spend summers with his sons — David, a former NFL safety-turned Raiders scout himself; Mark, who owns a construction company in Colorado; and Scot.

“My dad was on the road all the time; he worked his tail off,” Scot McCloughan recalled. “But when he was home, we would watch tape. It was more like watching games on Sunday with him — sitting there, listening to him talk.

Kent McCloughan never instructed his boys in how to evaluate players.

“It wasn’t like he forced it on us at all. He didn’t even force what team he wanted us to root for,” McCloughan recalled.

But he listened and watched his father dissect good plays and bad and chose the same career path after retiring from a baseball career that stalled in the minor leagues. His NFL apprenticeship began as a regional scout for Green Bay in 1994.

From there, McCloughan went to Seattle as director of college scouting, then rose up the ranks in San Francisco to general manager, taking on more responsibility at each step.

But at heart, he remains an area scout who lives out of a suitcase and thrives on uncovering all he can beyond a prospect’s height, weight and speed.

“Scot has good instincts, work ethic, conviction in what he believes,” said former Redskins general manager , now an NFL Network analyst. “He knows what it’s supposed to look like. He has a clear vision. He has done it, and he has learned, as we all have, from things we could have done better. I have great respect for him as an evaluator.”

Early signs of promise

Casserly cautions against issuing an early-term grade on McCloughan’s first Redskins draft. “It’s the first month of school,” Casserly said. “Tom Landry always had a three-year rule. The first year, get ’em started. The second year, you see improvement. By the third year, you should be rolling.”

Still, there are positive signs. His use of the team’s first-round pick on Iowa offensive lineman Brandon Scherff triggered the most commentary, with many questioning the wisdom of paying such a high price — fifth overall — on a guard, the spot Scherff has assumed after being projected as a right tackle. McCloughan believes it’s irrelevant where Scherff ends up as long as he pays dividends over the long haul. “He makes guys around him better,” the general manager said. “As he grows as a veteran, the young guys are going to follow him because they know he’s all football.”

Outside linebacker Preston Smith is less polished than second-year incumbent Trent Murphy but shows the makings of a more disruptive pass rusher. Third-round pick Matt Jones, a 6-foot-2, 231-pound running back, pounds the ball with a fury that calls to mind Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch.

“He runs with violence — almost too much,” McCloughan said of Jones. “But with him, with Preston, with Brandon — early on in the draft, I wanted to take football players that set a tempo. I think all three of those guys set a tempo.”

Feature Clips 2015

But McCloughan’s gem in the 2015 draft may prove to be Duke’s Jamison Crowder, a 5-8, 185-pound wide receiver and whose heads-up grab of a ricocheted ball against Baltimore resulted in the starting offense’s first preseason touchdown since 2012.

“His height and his weight and his speed are not comparable to number-one receivers in the NFL,” McCloughan concedes. “Doesn’t matter to me. You can watch tape on Jamison and see a good football player.”

Asked to flesh out the meaning of “football player,” which McCloughan reserves as an honorific for special athletes, the general manager turns, as he often does when words fail, to game film.

“I could show you on tape right now!” he offers.

Game footage is the language McCloughan speaks best. Its nouns include quick-twitch reflexes and effort doing thankless work when the ball isn’t in a player’s hands. Its verbs: Explodes off blocks, jumps up and down on the sideline when a teammate makes a great play. These are markers for toughness, heart, commitment — the attributes McCloughan trolls for in his work. That’s what struck McCloughan in footage of Crowder, whom he studied intently before choosing him ahead of most scouts’ projections.

“To see him go across the middle and catch the ball and not be scared, to see him return punts, to see his quickness and his ball skills and to understand that he’s a football player — that’s what matters,” McCloughan said.

His approach to free agency is much the same, though his signings have been more restrained than the Redskins’ gaudy forays of the past.

Taking on a challenge

With a mandate to beef up the defensive front, McCloughan sat out the bidding for former Detroit Lions star but jumped at the chance to sign linebacker Junior Galette, jettisoned by New Orleans for a series of troubling off- the-field incidents.

He was roundly criticized for the move after vowing to bring only players of high character to the Redskins. But McCloughan staked his reputation on what he described as a two-hour, face-to-face interview in which Galette was moved to tears explaining past mistakes and promising that if given the chance to redeem himself, he’d give back 100- fold. McCloughan has twice made a similar pledge in his own NFL career.

Struggles with alcohol, which he discussed in a lengthy interview last fall with Seth Wickersham of ESPN, led to his resignation from front office jobs in San Francisco and Seattle. McCloughan was a divorced father of three and running a private scouting service when Allen, who had long admired his acuity in spotting talent, hired him as the Redskins’ general manager in January. In a matter of months, McCloughan remarried and told friends that his wedding day, to Jessica Rutherford, 36, a divorced mother of two and former manager of a Gold’s Gym in Colorado, was one of the two best days of his life. Winning a Super Bowl during his tenure in Green Bay was the other.

They were newlyweds in the first six months of marriage when she was forced to publicly apologize for lewd allegations made to a reporter on social media. The ugly episode subsided, but it raised concern about the stability in McCloughan’s personal life given the stress of an NFL front office job — particularly for a man battling personal demons and working for a demanding, ultra-involved team owner. In an interview that took place before the incident, McCloughan described Snyder as unstinting in his support and passionate about the goal they share: Transforming the Redskins into champions.

“Since I’ve been here, it has been nothing but every day, ‘Let’s get better and find a way to win football games!’ ” McCloughan said. “As a general manager, it is so nice to feel that and hear that. It has been awesome.”

Scot McCloughan faces tall order in reshaping Redskins’ culture

By Todd Dybas The Washington Times Sept. 10, 2015

It’s a lonely office, hollow and dim. The glass cases are empty. All four TVs are off. A cardboard box in the back corner has its four flaps open, inviting, but is ignored. Scattered objects populate the palatial desk. A phone, cans of chewing tobacco, contact books. Otherwise, just the barrenness.

“That’s me,” Washington Redskins first-year general manager Scot McCloughan says. “Simple.”

The adjacent draft room has life. Game tape of players runs on the screen at the head of the room. Along one wall is the Redskins‘ depth chart. Filling the other is the roster of every NFL team, in alphabetical order. On the left, offense. On the right, defense. From the ceiling to the floor is a list including the famous and unknown. In the back right, the NFC East is aligned.

This is the simple and delicious for McCloughan. The son of a lifelong scout, given his first NFL job by one of the godfathers of team building, Hall of Famer Ron Wolf, McCloughan thrives on trying to figure out who will be a successful football player. Tape is only the beginning, he’ll say. Getting to the crux of the person, what lurks inside, the detriments and potential, that’s the key. Big, fast, strong? Fine. Tough, competitive, desperate to be better? Great.

In a way, he’s looking for players who mirror himself: The talented grinders. McCloughan stakes his scouting ability not just on his skill to assess, but also on never-ending hours working visits, contacts and tape. An August day that starts at 7 a.m. can end at 10 p.m. The more laborious ones end at 1 a.m. He’s trying to operate with success in the inexact world of human assessment. Results with the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks indicated his formula is effective.

“It’s one of those things, you either have that ability or you don’t,” Wolf says. “I’m talking about the ability to evaluate. Some people think they can do it, but they really can’t.

“I mean, he’s got it. Whatever it is, he has it.”

Yet, nothing can be this free and easy in the NFL, in particular at Redskins Park, a swath of land with football fields and hidden bear traps. McCloughan is in Ashburn because of talent and availability. Typically, someone with so much of the former doesn’t have much of the latter. But, here he is, at 44 years old, starting again. He produced with the 49ers and Seahawks, two power franchises of the last five years, then left. McCloughan calls departing the Seahawks in 2014 a “mutual decision.” San Francisco CEO Jed York said McCloughan leaving the 49ers in 2010 was a “mutual parting.”

This is where things become sticky. You see, this league, this team, this man’s past, do not do simple.

Getting his start

Wolf called, and McCloughan said he would take the job for free. Being a regional scout for the Packers paid $18,500, which was less than McCloughan was making as a fledgling minor league baseball player in 1994, but it paid something, so all the better. When he flew from Seattle to Green Bay to sign his paperwork, he met current Packers general manager Ted Thompson, at the time Green Bay’s director of pro personnel. He told McCloughan that he was the first hire Wolf did not vet by asking him to watch tape and write a report.

Wolf and McCloughan’s father, Kent, built their bond with the Oakland Raiders. Kent McCloughan was a cornerback out of Nebraska who was drafted in 1965 by the Redskins. The Houston Oilers also selected him in the AFL draft the same year. He ended up in Oakland, was a two-time All-Pro cornerback, then a scout for 39 years. Kent worked a lot, a lesson his son would absorb and apply. Feature Clips 2015

“His dad told me he would do an excellent job, and I couldn’t have a better form of reference than that,” Wolf says, “from a person himself who was a superb football player and a really good judge of talent and knew what it took inside, inside, to be successful as a scout.”

McCloughan’s intertwining with Seahawks general manager John Schneider began in Green Bay, setting them on a path of friendship that feels similar to the one Wolf and Kent McCloughan went down. Schneider was an intern for the Packers. Both were recently out of college. They loved the road, football and scrapping for some element of advantage. Instead of their like personalities clashing, they blended.

“John and I, always, always will, have a tight bond just because I think we are similar people,” McCloughan says. “We just fight for what we try to get and respect each other from the standpoint that we fight for what we get. He’s a great person, a phenomenal man. … He’s a high-, high-, high-character guy and I respect the living crap out of that.

“He’d do anything for me. I’d do anything for him, no matter what. And, he loves football like I love football. He loves building something like I love building something. We’re very, very, very similar. He’s just shorter.”

Schneider did not question if McCloughan was handed a job more because of lineage than talent.

“I think it was pretty evident he knew to handle himself on the road and knew how to identify football players, ask the right questions and keep probing,” Schneider says.

Besides, they were having a hell of a time.

Green Bay was the starting point of an ascension for each. By 2008, McCloughan was the general manager of the 49ers. In 2010, Schneider took the same position with the Seahawks.

‘Mutual’ partings

Wolf taught McCloughan core lessons of team building: Go find the competitive person who can still operate in a team environment. Invest in a quarterback, if possible. Find someone who can pressure the quarterback, someone who can protect him, and fill in. With those suggested baselines, McCloughan looks at players and wonders if they can move from average to good, and good to great. Wolf also emphasizes an ego-smashing lesson that is crucial for the talent assessor.

“At some point, you’re wrong, and it’s how you adjust from that standpoint,” Wolf says. “Whether you become a 50-50 guy or whether you grab the bull by the horns so to speak, realize you made a mistake, [and] realize that not in any form or fashion, is this a scientific event here. It involves human beings. You’re going to be wrong more than you’re going to be right. It’s how you get over that hump that determines how well you can do, and Scot had that ability.”

“You can’t be stubborn,” McCloughan says.

In San Francisco, McCloughan gathered picks and future Pro Bowl players such as running back Frank Gore, tight end Vernon Davis, inside linebacker and offensive lineman .

He was a first-time vice president, then general manager. The bespoke Mike Nolan was a first-time NFL head coach. There were surprises neither were prepared for, McCloughan says, so they adapted as needed.

As general manager, McCloughan worked with a ubiquitous rule. His hands were in everything. He had to go see every player. Every decision started and ended him. The stress was as perpetual as his desire; the combination created an insatiable, then debilitating loop. ”And, it wasn’t right,” McCloughan says. “I wanted to make sure everything was taken care of no matter what. So, 24/7, I was thinking about the whole organization. That was tough, that was tough. That’s when I got my issue.” Feature Clips 2015

A month before the 2010 draft, York described McCloughan’s departure as a “private personnel matter,” the kind of vague code-wording suggesting something is amiss. McCloughan was forthright in an ESPN The Magazine story in December 2014, admitting an alcohol problem which sent him to the Betty Ford Clinic during his time in San Francisco. He returned from rehab, and a short time later, was served with divorce papers. His demons were fed anew by the news. In the ESPN story, he said he still consumed alcohol.

Schneider, in many ways, temporarily rescued McCloughan by hiring him in 2010 as a senior personnel executive. He worked the drafts that claimed Russell Wilson and Pro Bowl players such as Richard Sherman and in the fifth round.

“I was happy to be able to offer him the opportunity for us to be able to work together again,” Schneider says.

Things quickly came together in Seattle. Coach delivered his quirky cultural influence. A team that had so long been an NFL bit player surged to become an audacious force. The Seahawks delivered McCloughan his second Super Bowl ring.

McCloughan’s ability to find players is strong and touted. But, after three years with the Seahawks, McCloughan’s reliability was rumored to be in question. He had another “mutual” separation, this one from a longtime friend. More vague words as to why followed.

“That is something that I can’t, that I should not get into,” Schneider says after a pause. “I think that’s a question for Scot. But, suffice to say, we’re still very good friends.”

“Mutual decision,” McCloughan says in the near-empty office. “Very mutual decision. Best for my career; best for my family. I [had] just got engaged at the time. Going forward, that was the best thing to do. I felt like I had opportunities when I left San Fran to go different places — a lot of places. And, I wanted to make sure, because John was in his first year as a GM, I wanted to make sure I could do anything to help him as a general manager and put myself in a situation where I could still see my kids — I [had gotten] divorced.

“It was mutual. And, you know what? I loved it there. Pete Carroll is a phenomenal head coach. The staff is phenomenal. John and his staff’s phenomenal. It was incredible. Beat the crud out of Denver [in the Super Bowl], you know? Just seeing everybody, excitement in their eyes, it was incredible. But, it was time for me to go on. It was time for me to change.”

‘A scout with a title’

After a year away running a scouting service, McCloughan had to come back. Sundays were emotionless. No thrill, no pain, just football on the TV in a quiet town north of Seattle. He says he had options, but the Redskins felt right. He’s known team president Bruce Allen for more than 20 years. He did not know Snyder. He had heard what everyone has heard about the Redskins‘ owner.

“We all have strengths and weaknesses,” McCloughan says. “I got the feeling — just meeting him — I was nervous, I didn’t know what was going to come out of it, but I knew right away that listen, this is about the Redskins, this is about the whole organization being together, fighting together, good days, bad days, whatever, and he totally understood.”

“I’m sure he wouldn’t have taken the job if he didn’t have the opportunity to do it his way,” Wolf says.

McCloughan’s hiring seemed to counter the Redskins‘ recent run of overreach and haphazardness in team building. The list of things McCloughan would do before overpaying a late-career name veteran, or shipping three first-round picks and a second-round pick for one pick, is expansive. He wants to build through the draft, “We have to have picks,” he says, and Feature Clips 2015

is trying to construct a culture akin to the one in Seattle and formerly in San Francisco: A cutthroat camaraderie existed in each place that stars were pushed to maintain.

McCloughan, who says he’s just a “scout with a title,” has begun to delegate, learning from his error in San Francisco. Other scouts can take a first look at a player or first run through tape. When the season starts, McCloughan says he will follow the team closely, trying to decipher how everyone ticks, looking to sniff out angles for improvement. Schneider, who oversees a team that has been to back-to-back Super Bowls, describes this aspect of the job as a dog chasing a car.

“We just feel like there’s never, ever any finish line in anything we’re doing,” Schneider says.

McCloughan will also be on the road as the leaves change. When he goes, he’ll arrive in a college town in the morning. He will not talk to the player he is interested in during the season. McCloughan will instead watch tape, talk to his contacts at the university, watch practice, then take another flight or drive to the next stop as he tries to reconstruct the roster.

The Redskins’ attempts to move from quarterback-centric to team-focused are subtle, but telling. There was a reduction in space occupied by Robert Griffin III’s jersey in the team store at training camp in Richmond. In addition to Griffin, the jerseys of DeSean Jackson, Ryan Kerrigan, Alfred Morris and Pierre Garcon were available. Many Redskins walk around in a team-issued T-shirts that read, “Stronger together,” with the Redskins‘ logo forming an O. On the back, it reads, “TEAM>i”. New strength and conditioning coach Mike Clark put together the slogan.

Were they presented with a blank 53-man roster, Wolf and Schneider would select a quarterback first. McCloughan says he prefers to focus on the offensive and defensive lines. Maybe it’s a savvy public relations response, considering the organization is trying to drum out the singular importance of the quarterback and construct a whole franchise. Though, his personnel decisions since taking over show he meant it.

The Redskins gave a contract extension to Kerrigan, added multiple players to the defensive line, extended the contract of left tackle Trent Williams and selected an offensive lineman, Brandon Scherff, fifth overall. They also drafted Matt Jones to provide bruising support to Morris in the backfield. Griffin was demoted the final week of the preseason and Kirk Cousins was named the starting quarterback.

“The core of your team is built with middle men,” McCloughan says. “That’s why it’s important to draft so well, to have draft picks. To not just be starters, but backups, great special teams players. That’s how you build your roster. You’re going to have your superstars. You’re going to have four or five. The majority of your team is built with good football players. That’s why it’s so important to me to have smart guys, tough guys, intelligent guys that understand their roles and understand it’s about the team.”

Who is McCloughan?

In August, Wolf was set to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He had not seen Kent McCloughan for about a decade. Scot McCloughan was making the trip to Canton, Ohio, for the induction despite training camp going on. He called his dad, encouraged him to leave Colorado and go. Kent acquiesced. Scot set up a car to pick up his 72-year-old father in Cleveland and take him to Canton on Friday night. The induction was Saturday.

Scot sent Wolf a text saying his dad would like to chat, face-to-face. They met Saturday morning at a Bob Evans restaurant. Outside, Kent and Wolf talked. Later at the ceremony, Wolf pointed at Kent on his way across the stage. Scot was sitting next to his dad. His father shook his hand and thanked him for the trip afterward. Recounting the day leaves Scot tapping the executive desk in his new office. His voice wobbles. His eyes shine.

“I want to be thought of, when I’m all done with this, as a good person, a good scout and [that] I took care of my guys,” McCloughan says. “That’s what matters to me. Wins, losses very important. I understand that. But, good person. Ron Wolf was a phenomenal person. My dad is a phenomenal person.” Feature Clips 2015

Figuring out what lays inside the person is the last part and hardest of scouting. It’s when simple turns to difficult, like McCloughan’s time in Washington suddenly did the first week of September. His second wife, Jessica, used Twitter to accuse an ESPN reporter of exchanging sexual favors for information about the team. She also insinuated McCloughan was having an affair with the reporter. An apology said to be from her was issued through the Redskins. The man here to quiet the Redskins‘ maelstroms, who is also working to leave behind his, was in the middle of one, insinuating the troubling pull of Redskins Park is unavoidable and re-raising questions about McCloughan’s personal side.

Back in the 1990s, McCloughan told Wolf he would work for free, even when they talked about a raise after his first season. It was the job, not the money, that drove him. McCloughan loves football to no end. He loves the constructing, the talent tapping, the good times, the Sundays. He loves asking questions. He loves trying to find the right players.

“What’s so important to me,” McCloughan says, “is to talk to my contacts who have been around [a player] for two, three, four years, and say listen, ‘Who’s this guy? What’s he bring as an individual? What’s his character? What’s his passion? What’s he doing when he’s not in the building?’”

As he embarks to fix the Redskins, the same questions are being asked about him. Who is McCloughan? A gifted man who can read other souls, but can’t control his own? Someone who has learned or someone who repeats? The fixer of Ashburn or another of its victims? The “scout with a title” wants to live his football life. It’s just not that simple. It never is at Redskins Park. And it hasn’t been yet for McCloughan.

Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry

‘Live wire’ Joe Barry already has the Redskins proclaiming their love

By Dan Steinberg The Washington Post Aug. 11, 2015

RICHMOND — Joe Barry’s arrival as Washington’s defensive coordinator initiated noticeable changes in both style and substance. Let’s start with the style.

“When you play football, it’s kind of all the same spiel,” observed cornerback DeAngelo Hall, a 12-year veteran who’s seen coaches come and go. The difference from one coach to the next is “just the way it’s delivered, and [Barry’s] delivery is amazing,” Hall said. “It’s like Drake and all this ghost writing stuff. The guy who writes it can rap it one way, man, but because of Drake’s delivery, he turns them into platinum hits. And so the way Joe Barry’s delivery is, so far it’s been amazing to be around.”

Okay, hold up. Did Hall just compare Joe Barry to Drake?

“I mean, it’s the delivery, man, the delivery; it’s the way he’s delivering it,” Hall laughed. “The message is definitely getting received on our end.”

And if Joe Barry is Drake, that would mean Meek Mill is … well, let’s not even go there. Suffice it to say, Hall is hardly the only Redskins defensive leader who’s been wowed by the 45-year-old Barry, a man whose hiring initially left some fans feeling uneasy. Players this month raved about Barry’s enthusiasm, his communication, the way he interacts with colleagues and his teaching methods.

“I love him, man,” said defensive lineman Chris Baker. “He ain’t trying to BS you around. He’ll just come out and tell you exactly how it’s supposed to be done.” Feature Clips 2015

“I love playing for him, because he gives us the freedom to be ourselves, you know what I mean?” safety Duke Ihenacho said. “We’re not robotic out there. He allows us to make plays.”

“His energy spills off onto us,” Hall said. “He’s just a damn joy to be around.”

The energy thing isn’t a gimmick, although it could have something to do with the 10 cups of black coffee Barry consumes each morning before 10, starting about 60 seconds after he leaves his bed. (“I’ll chug coffee,” he noted.) Or with the Red Bull he has at lunchtime. Or with the lessons he remembers from his own playing career as a linebacker at Southern Cal.

“I had to work harder than everyone; I had to be a grinder,” Barry said after a recent practice. “So I think in my professional working life, it’s the same thing.”

Through months of minicamps and offseason sessions and now at training camp, players have joked about the fervor Barry brings to practices, the way he translates meeting room concepts into clear — if caffeinated — on-field explanations.

“He’s very hands on,” Ihenacho said. “He loves teaching, he’s a very detailed coach and he knows exactly what he wants.”

“He’s a live wire,” said nose tackle Terrance Knighton. “If he could, he probably would put on pads.”

“I’m sure he’s pretty sore after practice,” defensive end Kedric Golston added. “It’s him, though, you know what I mean? It’s not false. He’s a guy that you can really tell is enjoying what he’s doing.”

That’s been the case even as Barry has faced one question after another about his previous experience as a defensive coordinator, a two-year stint with the Detroit Lions that ended with an 0-16 season in 2008. Barry patiently discusses that season day after day, talking about learning from failure and growing through struggles, and assuring reporters that “no question is ever out of bounds.”

He seems even to find satisfaction in these exchanges. Players might think Barry is enjoying himself, but they’re probably underestimating matters, because this is a man who likes coaching football more than Donald Trump likes hearing his own voice.

“I wake up every single day and I absolutely love my job,” Barry said. “I mean, I can’t wait to go to work, every single day. And having that mentality and truly feeling that way, I think that gives me natural energy. It gives me juice. I don’t know what it would be like in life when the alarm goes off to be miserable. When my alarm goes off, I’m jacked. I think that obviously helps in the energy that I exude, because I love what I’m doing, you know?”

What he’s doing in Washington is infusing the team’s 3-4 base defense with the 4-3 principles he learned as part of the Tampa Bay coaching tree. While last year’s defensive line was asked to stay square with its matchups and control blocks, this year’s group is being asked to play on edges and get up the field.

Golston described it as creating “disruptions.” Baker said instead of freeing up linebackers, the linemen are focused on “attacking, really making a lot of plays in the backfield.” Even offensive linemen like Trent Williams have noticed the difference, saying “I think the scheme allows them to be a little freer, and therefore they’re playing a lot better.”

Barry cautioned against thinking of this as more freedom, “because it definitely takes discipline to do what we do.” But he said the changes should be obvious to fans when real games begin, that his approach is “a complete contrast” and “completely different” from last season’s philosophy.

Feature Clips 2015

Barry — who grabs you and physically moves you around while explaining his defensive mission — wants his linemen creating “havoc in the backfield,” with rushers like Jason Hatcher, Stephen Paea and Ryan Kerrigan encouraged to get off the ball. He wants them to think about vertical movement and to “play the run on our way to sacking the quarterback.”

Will this work, assuaging fans and allowing Washington’s retooled roster to erase last year’s defensive embarrassments? That’s a question for September more than August. In the heat of training camp, it’s easier just to nod your head when a leader like Hall rhapsodizes about his new coordinator.

“I think he’s going to have a ton of success,” the cornerback said. “I don’t know how he was in Detroit, but since the moment he’s gotten here, man, he’s just been a ball of energy. And guys have wanted to play for him and wanted to do what he wants us to do.”

As for that Drake comparison, Barry laughed, saying “I wish I had Drake’s money,” and then adding “I would consider that a compliment.”

He didn’t have to mention anything about starting from the bottom. There have already been enough references to Detroit.

Offensive Coordinator Sean McVay

Sean McVay surrounded by veteran Redskins assistants

By Todd Dybas The Washington Times June 14, 2015

When Redskins offensive coordinator Sean McVay responds to a question, he sounds like he knew what was going to be asked. Answers are rapid and clear. In more than seven minutes with reporters last week, McVay said “um” once. That pause only popped loose when he was asked about how rookie wide receiver Jamison Crowder was handling domestic violence accusations.

In January 2014, the Redskins made McVay the league’s youngest offensive coordinator, promoting him from tight ends coach. McVay is just 29 years old, narrowly older than 28-year-old wide receivers Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson. When the season starts, he and backup quarterback Colt McCoy will be the same age.

McVay will have another decade to deal with age references before he surpasses most he coaches. Age notes are not new for him. He was 22 years old when his first pro football job as an offensive assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came. Redskins coach Jay Gruden was also an offensive assistant for his brother, Jon, at the time. McVay moved to the United Football League the following season, where he worked for former Redskins defensive coordinator as tight ends coach for the Florida Tuskers. He joined the Redskins and went to work for Mike Shanahan the following season.

There were holes and oddities around the Redskins’ coaching prodigy last season. His job was part coordinator, part quarterbacks coach. He had play-call input, but Jay Gruden also handled that. Most teams had a quarterbacks coach, yet the Redskins did not despite heaving tumult at the position.

In the offseason, Washington brought 58-year-old Matt Cavanaugh in to run the quarterbacks’ room. It hired 59-year-old Bill Callahan to coach the offensive line. Those investments allow Jay Gruden and McVay to to drop in on various factions of the team and defer. McVay moves from offensive group to group. Jay Gruden has time to rush the passer during organized team activities.

Feature Clips 2015

“Having Matt Cavanaugh with the experience he has as a player and a coach has been a great resource for myself and the quarterbacks,” McVay said. “He’s done a great job of sort of implementing the fundamental techniques and the things we want to emphasize on a daily basis from a work standpoint . It’s been extremely valuable.”

Those four will try to fix a Redskins offense that was 26th in the league last season in points scored. The Redskins averaged just 18.8 points per game, one tenth of a point in front of league bottom-feeders the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets.

Going through multiple quarterbacks multiple times for multiple reasons is no path to consistency. So, the Redskins re- hitched themselves to Robert Griffin III in the offseason when they named him the starter and picked up his expensive $16.155 million option for 2016.

The Redskins also appear to have wed themselves to a conceptual shift. When Griffin walked to the podium for his first press conference since the offseason, he wore a “Stronger together” T-shirt. He quickly pointed out that the T-shirt was produced by the team, not him, leaving the uncreative and reactionary to lament the death of an easy storyline. The idea that the Redskins will try to win as a team and not be Griffin LLC, for better or worse, was reinforced by McVay’s answer when asked if Griffin had made progress.

“I think we are seeing improvement,” McVay said. “I think Colt and Kirk (Cousins) have showed improvement as we’ve gone through the OTAs. Coach Barry’s defense has done a great job of giving us a bunch of looks. I think all the quarterbacks have continued to improve each practice.”

The Redskins are in this strange land where they loaded Griffin’s basket with their eggs — the pickup of the option showed that — yet are preaching whole as they try to deter the concept of onus on one.

Perhaps more important than the psychology of perception around the quarterbacks is the team’s inability to convert yards into points. Last season, Washington was a respectable 13th in yards gained per game. A scoring disconnect followed. Among the league’s 14 teams to gain 350 or more yards per game, the Redskins were the only one to average less than 24 points.

After games, Jay Gruden would take partial blame for offensive shortages. He put responsibility on the players, before often following with aggravated statements about his play-calling. Though McVay is in his second season as offensive coordinator, the only thing Jay Gruden will commit to in reference to play-calling is that they have similar offensive minds.

“We’re very close mentally to thinking alike, and that’s the thing,” Jay Gruden said. “When we put together a game plan and you have your third-down situations, you can almost call them together. So it’s very important for us to be on the same page when we install and call plays. But we’ll both have input on game day like we do every game.

“Whether he calls 50 percent, I call 50 percent, he calls 80 percent or 20 doesn’t matter as long as we agree during the week that ‘This is our plan, this is how we’re going to attack and these are the situations we’re going to call certain plays.’ So I feel very confident in him calling plays and obviously I feel confident in me calling plays.”

If it’s McVay making the call, there won’t be indecision. His choice will be brisk, like his answers and career arc. And, this year, he’ll be flanked by two supporting coaches twice his age.

Offensive Line Coach Bill Callahan

Bill Callahan has big designs for Redskins offensive line

Feature Clips 2015

By Liz Clarke The Washington Post June 17, 2015

One of Bill Callahan’s first actions after being named the Washington Redskins’ offensive line coach was to hang a picture of the Hogs in his office at the team’s Loudoun County headquarters.

It is both a tribute to Joe Bugel’s tough-nosed line of the Joe Gibbs era — a unit Callahan studied with admiration as he climbed the college coaching ranks in the 1980s — and a powerful statement about the type of unit he intends to forge under Coach Jay Gruden.

“I’ve always admired what Joe Bugel has done,” Callahan said Thursday after the Redskins wrapped up a nearly two-hour practice at Redskins Park. “He has been kind of a mentor in a lot of ways — watching his film, watching what he had done with the players over the years. And we’re trying to emulate that and carry on that tradition here and live up to the standard that they’ve established.”

Callahan’s addition to the staff represents the biggest coup of Gruden’s offseason moves.

In three seasons in Dallas, where he coached the offensive line and served as offensive coordinator, Callahan transformed one of the NFL’s least effective lines into one of the best. Having three former first-round draft picks to work with helped, to be sure, along with a lights-out quarterback in Tony Romo and running back DeMarco Murray.

Dallas boasted the NFL’s second-ranked rushing attack last season, averaging 147.1 yards per game, and sent three offensive linemen (all first-round picks) to the Pro Bowl, along with Romo and Murray. The Redskins ranked 19th in rushing yards, averaging 105.7 yards per game.

“If you’re going to put resources into any area, I think the line is an important area to do so because they have to protect the edge and have got to provide the opportunities for the runners in the running game,” Callahan said. “Anytime you can get a top-level talent in the early rounds, it helps your situation.”

With Scot McCloughan taking over as general manager, the Redskins are taking steps in that direction. The most high profile was using their No. 5 overall draft pick this spring on Iowa’s Brandon Scherff, whom Callahan is grooming as the starting right tackle — a complement to 2010 first-rounder Trent Williams on the left side.

But character counts for as much as draft-day pedigree in Callahan’s experience — if not more so. Five months into the job, he has nothing but praise for his roster on that count.

“They’ve worked hard, extremely hard,” he said. “I’m really proud of ’em. They’re a good group of kids who study hard and prepare well.”

Asked what appealed to him about joining the 4-12 Redskins as a position coach, Callahan, whose contract was up in Dallas, said he was drawn by the chance to reunite with some longtime friends and good coaches. Redskins President Bruce Allen, for example, was Callahan’s general manager when he coached at Oakland. Before that, Callahan was a member of ’s staff with the Raiders. He worked with quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh for the New York Jets. And in Dallas, he worked with current Redskins tight ends coach Wes Phillips.

“I felt really comfortable and felt confident I could add and contribute something,” said Callahan, 58.

Despite three decades in coaching, Callahan exudes the enthusiasm of a go-getter living his dream during practice. He revels in the nuances of technique and displays an evangelist’s zeal in imparting them to his players, carving out extra time before and after practice to squeeze in extra drills.

Feature Clips 2015

During last season’s practices, Redskins linemen got to rest when the special teams unit took the field. Under Callahan, no more.

“He’s just an extremely detailed guy,” said Williams, who has attended meetings but is being held out of on-field work as he continues recovering from a lingering knee injury. “He’s very intense and requires a lot out of us.”

Gruden has taken note.

“The work that is involved with being a player for Coach Callahan is a demanding thing,” Gruden said, “but I think at the end of the day, he’s going to get the best results out of you because he’s going to demand the most of you.”

Given Callahan’s expertise, Gruden said he will have a major role in play-calling during the season.

“Coach Callahan will be the guy that will devise the running game, pretty much game plan-wise,” Gruden said, “and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he’s calling the majority of the runs on game day.”

No twitch of a lineman’s muscle is too trivial for Callahan to overlook. His eyes stay locked on his players through each drill, and he gives constant feedback.

“Set!” he barks.

“Lift!” he orders each pair of linemen, working in tandem, to burst from their stance and hoist the lone lineman facing them off the ground.

“Gooood!”

For Callahan, the work on the field is a passion, more than a job.

“I love it,” he said. “Absolutely love it. I look forward to practice every day. There’s nothing like it. I’m just an old-school ball coach.”

Wide Receiver Jamison Crowder

Duke’s 5-foot-8 Crowder standing tall in Redskins’ crowded WR corps

By Liz Clarke The Washington Post Aug. 1, 2015

Just a few days into Redskins training camp, rookie Jamison Crowder has begun to stand out. And that’s not easy to do in a crowded field of wide receivers that includes DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon—particularly for a 5-foot-8, 185 guy who lines up in the slot.

A receiver and special-teams ace at Duke, Crowder, 22, was drafted by the Redskins in the fourth round primarily for his punt-return ability.

But in Thursday’s opening session, Crowder’s No. 80 jersey seemed to be on the receiving end of every third or fourth completion, catching the approving eye of Coach Jay Gruden.

Feature Clips 2015

On Friday, Crowder had the savvy to pick up a last-second signal from Kirk Cousins and streak down the sideline to complete the day’s biggest pass play — a 50-yard bomb that had the backup quarterback racing downfield for a high-five.

“It was actually we had a different play called,” Crowder said after Saturday’s walk-through. “Cousins gave me a signal because of the coverage to where I had a go-ball down the sidelined. I was able to get that signal, and he was able to throw a really good pass and I was able to make the catch.”

“‘That was good football!’” Cousins exulted, according to Crowder. “ ‘Good way to see the signal, and way to make a play!’”

Crowder posted three 1,000-yard seasons at Duke to finish his college career with the second most receiving yards in program history (3,641) and third-most in the ACC.

His selection by the Redskins came as a surprise, Crowder said, but a pleasant one.

He joins a roster that’s well stocked in receivers, with the featured roles locked down by Jackson and Garcon. Andre Roberts is the incumbent in the slot, where Crowder has been working during camp. And Gruden wants to get second-year receiver Ryan Grant in the mix, likely in the slot, as well.

“He has done a great job,” Gruden said of Crowder, asked if he could envision a receiving role for the rookie, in addition to special-teams duties. “He’s very smart. He went to Duke and understands the passing game, understands route concepts. He has got good, strong hands, [is] very quick in and out of breaks. But he does have a role as a punt returner, for sure.

“…[Crowder] has got to obviously earn the reps that he gets. When he gets them, he’s taking advantage of them. We’ll see. We’ve got a long time to determine who our third is. Right now, Andre obviously has a firm grasp on it. But he will challenge him.”

Wide Receiver Pierre Garçon

Redskins believe Chris Culliver offers ideal size, confidence, fit

By Todd Dybas The Washington Times Sept. 10, 2015

Gold, sweatpants and tattoos are the visually expressive things about Washington Redskins cornerback Chris Culliver. He wears multiple gold chains. The sweatpants, gray and puffing out from beneath a jersey or pulled up from the ankle to the knee, complete his daily appearance. Every day, walks with his tattoos from wrist to shoulder telling his tale.

He chose his mother’s name, Marie, as his first tattoo when he was 16 years old, mirroring her age when he was born.

His stepfather, James Jefferson, was murdered when he was 8. He was shot on Labor Day weekend in 1996 at Jay’s Big Shot bar in Philadelphia. His cousin was also killed in the same fracas. A bullet grazed his mother’s chest. A tattoo on his neck memorializes his slain stepfather.

He doesn’t want to talk about that, though. Not his mom or his family. The tattooed map of his 27 years that spreads across both arms, his chest and back and even in front of his right ear provide hints of the careening nature of his life. He’d rather leave that and talk about football, focusing on why the Redskins paid him a hefty sum to help shore up a wobbly secondary. Feature Clips 2015

Culliver signed a four-year, $32 million deal with the Redskins in the offseason. General manager Scot McCloughan said he had liked Culliver since the cornerback left South Carolina in 2011, when the San Francisco 49ers selected him in the third round. His three seasons in the league may be unlike anyone else in that draft class.

His first two seasons, Culliver played in the NFC title game. In his second season, Culliver was the nickel cornerback for a powerful 49ers defense in the Super Bowl. His time at the Super Bowl was an extreme learning experience. Negative comments he made about possibly having a gay teammate preceded an apology and reversal in stance two days later. During the game, he allowed a 56-yard touchdown pass to Baltimore Ravens wide receiver . Though, that Culliver was in the position of influencing the Super Bowl as a second-year player was of note.

“There’s a lot that goes on in the Super Bowl,” Culliver said. “It’s a big, big stage. If anybody going to watch any game of the year, they’re going to watch the Super Bowl. … It wasn’t like I was 30 years old in my seventh or ninth year or something like that. You learn and you grow as a player, a person, in general. You’ve got a rookie that come in wouldn’t understand the same thing a fifth-year vet would. I think just experience and growing as a person, that’s the biggest thing.”

He tore the ACL in his left knee and missed the 2013 season. In 2014, when the 49ers began to unravel, Culliver had his best season, producing career-high totals in tackles and interceptions. He was considered one of the best cornerbacks available through free agency after last season. It’s easy for McCloughan to tick off what he likes about Culliver on the field.

“He has size, he has strength, he has toughness, he has competitiveness and he understands the importance of the game,” McCloughan said. “He comes from a really, really good defense. Been to the Super Bowl. Seen what it looks like. Understands how to practice. Understands what to take care of in the weight room and the tape room. All that stuff, he understands, he’s been around it.”

Culliver felt like Washington matched him personally. He said in OTAs that he liked the defensive scheme, was interested in learning from new defensive backs coach Perry Fewell and was excited play alongside DeAngelo Hall, Jeron Johnson and ex-teammate Dashon Goldson.

“I chose here because I felt like it fit my personality,” Culliver said. “My personality’s being physical and playing a lot of man coverage and getting to it and helping this team. That’s what my mindset was.”

Like many current cornerbacks, Culliver prefers playing press coverage. He tries to reroute receivers from the line, using his strength as much as the current rules allow. He said he lets receivers run their routes, then reacts to what he sees. In an ideal world, Culliver is a blend of physical play and consistent coverage. He’s 6 feet tall and 199 pounds, not the oversized cornerback that is in vogue in the NFL, but also not a small corner who can easily be bullied. He should have a chance against fade routes, as well as one against shiftier route runners.

Culliver’s presence gives the Redskins a strong starting point at cornerback. Second-year cornerback Bashaud Breeland will return during Week 2 of the regular season after serving a one-game suspension stemming from a citation for possession of marijuana in Richmond in 2014. Hall is near the end of his career. Third-year corner David Amerson took a large step back in his second season. Quickly, the cornerback room could be Culliver’s to run.

Hall has talked about retirement. Breeland is just starting what the Redskins hope is an extended career, which leaves Culliver as a proposed anchor among the team’s cornerbacks. He has the most playoff experience of any Redskins cornerback, including Hall. He’s also the highest-paid cornerback on the team. The Redskins are relying on Culliver to be a support point at one of the league’s most crucial positions.

“He’s good for the young guys, and he’s 27,” McCloughan said. “I think he’s reaching his prime right now and he’s ready to rock and roll.” Feature Clips 2015

His ferocity showed in the preseason when he was ejected during the second exhibition game for getting into a fight with Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith. It also showed in March 2014, when he was charged with a felony — reduced to a misdemeanor following a hearing nearly a year later — after hitting a bicyclist, fleeing the scene, then allegedly threatening a citizen who followed and cornered his car. He pled guilty to two misdemeanors in June and will be on probation for two years and was ordered to do 40 hours of community service.

“[I told him] this is how we’re going to be, and if you’re not going to be that way, then you’re not going be here,” McCloughan said.

Last year, Culliver was back at the tattoo parlor. Just in front of his right ear, in the slim vertical space behind a narrow sideburn, the word “king” is sunk vertically, in capital letters, into his skin.

The Redskins crowned him with a four-year deal worth up to $32 million in the offseason. Each is trying to revamp their recent past, believing the best is ahead.

Wide Receiver Pierre Garçon

For Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon, pizza investment is about more than just dough

By Dan Steinberg The Washington Post May 26, 2015

On a recent weekday afternoon, Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon pulled out his phone and scanned the previous day’s manager’s report from one of his pizza restaurants.

Two pies had been cooked too long. Another had accidentally flipped over. One customer ordered dinner but then discovered she didn’t have any money; she canceled her order. And several customers who met Garcon in the store told the manager that he seemed like such a nice guy, “that they appreciated that this is more than just an investment for him.”

At this, Garcon put down his phone and smiled. The 28-year old wide receiver is nearly an equal partner in SpinFire, a “fast casual” pizza concept with one location in Ashburn and another in downtown Rosslyn. He and his partner, Paisano’s CEO Fouad A. Qreitem, plan to open stores at Tysons Corner and Wheaton mall before the end of the year, and already are scouting locations in the District, while a franchise soon will open in Dubai, the first of six planned stores in the United Arab Emirates. Garcon has been talking to teammates about franchising locations in college towns, where they could leverage their local celebrity to attract customers. And Garcon said he plays an active role in the pizza-selling business: greeting customers, pitching potential franchisees, taste-testing new sauces, taking out the garbage, and yes, courting the media.

He has lost count of how many SpinFire shirts he owns. Friends say they can tell when he’s been working from the specks of flour on his clothes. He’s developed a knack for spinning pizza dough above his head; “when I’m not busy, I try to work on my skills,” he explained. And he’s already thinking about his next venture.

Sure, local athletes opening restaurants is nothing new. Joe Theismann won a Super Bowl; Kevin Grevey won an NBA title; Boog Powell won a World Series, and all three men put their names on their restaurants. But Garcon and Qreitem wanted SpinFire to spread beyond Washington, so they deliberately kept his name off the storefront. Their concept involved cooking pizzas in 90 seconds; they initially considered making it 88, in honor of Garcon’s number, but again decided it was best to keep pizza and football separate.

And while Garcon has taken advantage of his football fame — bringing Redskins teammates to “Rookie Night” at the Ashburn location, hosting Ryan Kerrigan at the Rosslyn store’s grand opening, promoting the restaurant on his social media accounts and even hiring DeSean Jackson’s cousin — he wants SpinFire to succeed on its merits.

“It’s not about myself or the team; it’s about something different, an actual business,” he said. “It’s not piggybacking off the Redskins; it’s not piggybacking off my name. This is going to be bigger than me. When I’m done, I want it to still keep going. One day we’ll probably sell this company, and then move on to the next thing. … I wouldn’t mind being in business for life.”

Garcon’s introduction to the restaurant industry came several years ago, when Qreitem was seeking a clean-cut athlete to endorse Paisano’s. An acquaintance set him up with Garcon, and as the receiver began pitching pizza, the two became friends. Qreitem was already working on his fast-casual pizza idea, a niche in which a host of local competitors have sprouted in recent years, and Garcon said he wanted in.

He knew nothing about the pizza industry; his favorite pie to that point was a Hawaiian stuffed crust. His retail experience came from high school: jobs selling popcorn at movie theaters, working as a stock boy at Winn-Dixie, and in the Dillard’s department store. He had no experience with getting permits, or supervising employees, or working with dome-shaped 900-degree Neapolitan ovens. But Garcon was risking his money on the project, so he spent time in the stores, read the e- mail chains, participated in the planning meetings, bought portable speakers as Christmas gifts for all his employees, and started experimenting with those ovens.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but he’s involved; he’s deeply, deeply involved,” Qreitem said. “It’s not a front. He’s not a face that we’re using to build a brand. If he left the Redskins today, he’s still my partner and this is still his business. … God bless his football career, but this is going to outlast his career. When football’s over, this is going to be his career.”

Which is why Garcon looks at those reports on his phone, the ones that detail labor costs and store sales and daily events at both his restaurants.

“It’s like your stats,” Garcon said. “You saw how the store did, why someone burned a pizza, why soda sales are so low compared to pizza [sales], why the labor costs are so high. It’s the stats, just like why [one receiver’s] catches aren’t as much as such-and-such’s last year.”

Ah yes, that. You’ll recall that in 2013 — when Garcon caught 113 balls for 1,346 yards — we were debating whether he was a legit No. 1 receiver. Last year, the Redskins brought in DeSean Jackson, changed their head coach and their offense and switched quarterbacks as quickly as SpinFire makes pizzas. Garcon’s numbers plummeted to 68 catches for 752 yards, and no one was talking about that No. 1 receiver debate anymore. It was a jarring transition.

“Who you telling? I lived it. I went through it,” Garcon said. “I enjoy playing football; I’m having fun out there. But when you’re not winning and you’re not getting the ball, you know, I don’t have to say too much. … I always think of myself as a number one receiver, no matter what people say. I don’t listen to it, because I’ve been doubted my whole life.”

If he has doubters in the pizza world, though, it has been hard to tell. Sales at the newly opened Rosslyn store already have passed sales at Ashburn, where the football connection is easier to make. The Post’s Going Out Guide recently sampled eight D.C. fast casual pizza spots; SpinFire finished second, as the “sleeper hit.” And when Garcon visits competing restaurants now, he takes mental notes about how the food looks, and how the employees interact with customers.

“Life takes us places we never thought we’d be,” he said.

Still, when I mentioned to Garcon that I was surprised not to find a single hint of his football career inside his Rosslyn store, he considered the idea.

“You could put my picture right in front of the oven,” he told Qreitem.

“Don’t give him any ideas,” Qreitem replied.

Safety Dashon Goldson

Dashon Goldson ‘drives the bus,’ settles in as a leader in Redskins’ secondary

By Anthony Gulizia The Washington Times Sept. 17, 2015

ASHBURN — Perry Fewell knew what type of player free safety Dashon Goldson was when the Washington Redskins acquired him from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on April 3.

Fewell, in his first season as the Redskins‘ defensive backs coach, had coached against Goldson three times as the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator. He had seen hours of film and the crunching hits, the kind that had the ability to make wide receivers hesitate crossing the middle of the field.

What Fewell was not attuned to was the scope of Goldson’s football intelligence, which is what he quickly noticed when Goldson walked into his first meeting with illustrations of assorted defensive alignments.

“We were having this football conversation and he comes in with all these drawings and different thoughts and ideas, about football and how to communicate,” Fewell said. “He asked a question that didn’t really pertain to the safety, but pertained to the corner, because he wanted the corner to know what to do if a certain motion happened. I knew right then he had a very smart football mind.”

A rash of injuries and suspensions has forced the Redskins to reshuffle their secondary for the second consecutive week. As the team attempts to traverse the challenge that comes with plugging so many holes in the defensive backfield, Goldson will be counted on for his ability to communicate and position defenders in a way that is akin to having another coach on the field.

“Dashon is the dude that drives the bus for us,” Redskins defensive coordinator Joe Barry said. “I think I bragged on him last week on how smart he is, how he calls plays out before they’re happening just because of certain formations or certain splits.”

The Redskins‘ secondary was supposed to be on the mend for the game this Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, with cornerback Bashaud Breeland free to return from suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Instead, fellow corner Chris Culliver will serve a one-game suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, and strong safety Duke Ihenacho underwent surgery after breaking his left wrist in the team’s Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Trenton Robinson, who is expected to step in for Ihenacho, will be reunited with Goldson, as the two played together with the San Francisco 49ers in 2012. “To be out there, it’s surreal,” said Robinson, who used to sit with Goldson during meetings as a rookie that season.

“He’s just smart and in tune, on and off the field. It’s awesome to learn from and see a guy like that work.”

Goldson has an innate ability to read plays before they develop, a skill that has helped him position himself to best utilize his 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame to deliver the most unforgiving hits. Feature Clips 2015

During the 2012 season, Goldson’s last in San Francisco, he was playing the Arizona Cardinals when he lured wide receiver Early Doucet across the middle of the field.

Goldson disguised the play as cover-2, standing alongside strong safety Donte Whitner. Just before the ball was snapped, Goldson switched to a cover-3 look and crept toward the linebackers — a role normally reserved for the strong safety — and leveled Doucet just as the ball arrived.

“He knew it was a crossing route coming,” said Redskins defensive end Ricky Jean Francois, who was also playing with Goldson at the time in San Francisco.

“He laid him out on the ground. Early did not move. It was like he flat-lined. That’s one good thing about [Goldson]: He can tell you how to disguise it. We always called him ‘The Hawk.’ He’s got the bird’s-eye view sitting on top of us, and if he needs to get to a certain spot, he’s going to get there. He can see everything before we do.”

Goldson, 30 and in his ninth season, believes he is playing with a different type of energy after two tough seasons in Tampa Bay. He signed a five-year deal worth up to $41.25 million with the Buccaneers in 2013.

It started well, Goldson said, despite playing in an unfamiliar scheme under coach . Though it was different than what he was used to, Goldson said he was comfortable in an aggressive, blitz-heavy system.

Then the NFL began to crack down on his bone-crunching hits. He was fined nearly $500,000 in that first season, and he was suspended one game for a hit on Atlanta Falcons receiver .

“Tampa was a struggle,” Goldson said. “After the first three weeks, my foot started hurting and my mind was playing tricks on me. Not to make excuses, but I got away from it. Then they started fining me. That messed me up mentally. I was like, ‘[Forget] this, I don’t want to play anymore.’”

Goldson eventually underwent surgery on his right toe during the offseason, which kept him out of organized team activities. He returned for the start of the season, but was never comfortable. The fines stopped, but after Schiano was fired, Goldson didn’t feel like he fit in new coach Lovie Smith’s Tampa-2 defense.

“It was just bad,” Goldson said. “I was just never in it.”

Goldson made 81 tackles in 14 games in 2014, but failed to intercept a pass for the first time since his second season. He also deflected just one pass after doing so eight times the year before.

The Buccaneers agreed to trade Goldson to the Redskins for a 2016 sixth-round pick and agreed to pick up the $4 million still guaranteed.

In Goldson, the Redskins filled a pressing need at free safety. It was a perfect marriage, in that Goldson was reunited with Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan, who drafted him in San Francisco in 2007, along with fellow former 49ers teammates Jean Francois, Robinson and Culliver.

“Every player in the NFL, I don’t care who you are, if your mind is right, your body will follow,” Jean Francois said. “If your mind isn’t right, and you’re around negativity, people trashing you, your body is going to follow what your ears hear.

“I don’t know what the criticism was in Tampa Bay, but I was happy as hell when he came back here because I knew the type of safety he was.”

Goldson said he feels refreshed, both physically and mentally, this season. He knows there are doubts about whether he can maintain his physical play at his age, but he was rejuvenated during the offseason. As a show of how much his Feature Clips 2015

teammates have already grown to respect him, he was voted the Redskins‘ defensive captain prior to the first week of the season.

Now that his mind is at ease, he’s ready to let his play do the talking.

Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan

Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan earned contract extension

By John Keim ESPN.com July 29, 2015

RICHMOND, Va. -- It wasn’t a tough decision, but one thing new general manager Scot McCloughan harped on this offseason was taking care of your own.

And the Washington Redskins just did that with Ryan Kerrigan. He signed a five-year deal earlier Wednesday, making him a wealthy man and the Redskins a happy team. The reality is that he wasn’t going to go anywhere else.

Two years ago the Redskins debated on how much they should give Brian Orakpo -- and whether they should even use the franchise tag on him. This offseason, while they tried to re-sign Orakpo, they wouldn't match Tennessee's offer of approximately $8 million per year. Orakpo was a good player in Washington and though he pressured the passer, he didn’t make the game-changing plays. That’s why there really couldn’t be much of a debate with Kerrigan. From the time he arrived in Washington, he’s made big play after big play. In fact, he’s second in the NFL since 2011 with 15 forced fumbles.

More importantly, he continues to improve each year and, in all my talks with him, has never viewed himself as a finished product. Over his first few seasons, Kerrigan would talk about how he was working on his pass rushes, trying to take a better path to the quarterback with less rounding. Finally, this past season, it clicked.

After not making the Pro Bowl, Kerrigan blamed himself in part by pointing to some games where he felt he had been too quiet. The point: He’s always looking to improve and knows there are ways to do so, subtle as they sometimes might be.

That was evident as a rookie, too, when coaches predicted he’d soon be the equal of Orakpo.

Kerrigan also hasn’t missed a game in the NFL, though he has played through some injuries. He also had arthroscopic knee surgery this offseason, but said recently he felt good.

It was an easy call keeping him around. Is the contract too expensive ($57.5 million, with $24.28 million guaranteed)? He’s now the third highest-paid linebacker in terms of average per year. But contracts are all about timing.

The Redskins have some other key players who are free agents after the season -- left tackle Trent Williams and running back Alfred Morris. The Redskins seem intent on developing their own and then keeping them (the first part has been the more difficult one). Kerrigan checked off all the boxes: Good player, hard worker, popular in the community (the other two are as well).

But what the Redskins need from him is to continue being the same guy. Make plays, be a leader (something he said this spring he wants to become) and be a positive face of the franchise. It's worked thus far.

Ryan Kerrigan might be the Redskins’ most boring star — and he’s fine with that

By Dan Steinberg The Washington Post July 29, 2015

Ryan Kerrigan arrived in Washington four years ago with the money and security befitting a first-round NFL draft pick. Then he looked at Northern Virginia housing prices.

“And I’m like, ‘holy crap,’ ” he recently recalled.

So Kerrigan — still not knowing exactly how his NFL career would progress — crafted his own housing plan. He would sample a few modest options. He would rent, not buy. And he would get to know the area before making any long-term decisions. There was an apartment in Ashburn, then a townhouse in Leesburg. There was another apartment in Leesburg, and then an apartment in Reston, further east than Redskins players typically live.

Which is why Kerrigan — arguably the team’s best and most popular defensive player, and now the owner of a massive new contract — currently lives in a two-bedroom apartment, with a roommate, in Reston Town Center.

“You’ve got Chipotle and Potbelly in there,” he pointed out. “I mean, I don’t know what else you’d need.”

Kerrigan is something of a star now, the rare Redskins player — along with tackle Trent Williams — whose name does not set off a contentious debate among fans and sports-radio hosts. He’s been to a Pro Bowl, has steadily increased his annual output (recording 13 1/2 sacks last season), and has seen his off-field profile rise, with local commercial spots and even a cameo in “Sharknado 3.”

But this was a player who figured his time at Purdue would mark the end of his football career, who apologizes for sounding conceited when he admits that he now gets recognized around town.

So it probably shouldn’t be surprising that a Super Nintendo still occupies a place of prominence in the apartment Kerrigan shares with Redskins.com managing editor Andrew Walker, a childhood friend. (“Ken Griffey, Jr. Presents Major League Baseball” remains their go-to game.) That the living room’s 46-inch TV hasn’t been replaced since Kerrigan’s rookie season. That he has made one major purchase as a professional — a Chevy Tahoe his rookie year — and that during a weekend getaway to glamorous Boone, N.C., friends recently told Kerrigan that he really ought to travel more widely, or do something.

“I don’t really know how to live it up more,” he admitted. “Does that mean buy a boat?”

Some of this may be about to change. Kerrigan and the Redskins reached a long-term deal on Wednesday, according to the team. And with the offseason departures of several defensive veterans, Kerrigan’s status as the defense’s premier player may demand a more prominent leadership role.

He attended Redskins offseason workouts this spring, even when he couldn’t practice because of arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, and other linebackers said he helped as much as he could from the sideline. (The linebacker said he feels ready to start training camp as a full participant.) But Kerrigan said even now, he doesn’t want to force himself to become more vocal, doesn’t want to “talk just to talk.” And teammates explained that doesn’t really matter.

“As an older guy, he’s somebody that I’ve looked up to since he’s been here,” said Kedric Golston, the team’s longest- tenured player. “Ryan’s always been a leader here, even when he was younger, in the sense that he always was a professional: the way he went about his business, the way he took care of his body, the way he worked.”

Feature Clips 2015

“He’s like the big brother I never had out there,” added second-year linebacker Trent Murphy. “He’s not saying anything, but his actions are screaming at everyone. I would say he’s earned everyone’s utmost respect from that standpoint.”

That Kerrigan would reach a deal with the Redskins came as no surprise, since few players on the team have been as public about embracing the community. He became the host of the annual Leukemia & Lymphoma Society golf tournament this year, a role often reserved for quarterbacks such as Jason Campbell and . He’s a frequent visitor at other Washington sporting events, saying that “the Verizon Center’s a second home to me in the winter time.” He’s familiar with a host of every-day nightspots across the region, from Tony & Joe’s in D.C. to Whitlow’s in Arlington to Caddies in Bethesda. (“Good old Caddies,” he said with a smile.) On Monday — two days before his deal was finalized — he finally exchanged his Indiana driver’s license for one from Virginia.

“People have kind of embraced me as their own in Washington, and that feels pretty good,” he said. “One of my goals in getting drafted here was to become not just a player on the team but a member of the community. That’s why I’m always going and supporting local teams, and just being out in public. I want to be able to get the full experience while I’m here, because who knows how long it’ll last?”

It figures to last a while longer now, and in truth, that’s something Kerrigan has thought about for years. He noticed how beloved Redskins alumni like Darrell Green and Jeff Bostic were still embraced in the region, and how former teammate Chris Cooley — who similarly embraced the area — seamlessly transitioned into a post-football career here.

“They still have a presence and still are ingrained in the community,” Kerrigan said. “I feel like I’ve become a member of the community here, and I want to be a member of the community here.”

Kerrigan even invested in his first golf membership during the offseason, joining The Golf Club at Lansdowne, a place popular with current and former Redskins. But a golf club isn’t necessarily the most comfortable ground for Kerrigan, who rarely ventures to Barcelona’s newest outpost in Reston — “it’s a little fancy for me,” he explained, when asked about the tapas spot — and fretted on Monday that he still had to do his laundry before packing for Richmond. Asked about a cleaning service, he and Walker, his roommate, just laughed.

“Every couple weeks we just break out the rags and the soap and the water and the Windex, and we get it taken care of ourselves,” Walker said. “He’s seriously the exact same guy as he was in sixth grade. We still laugh at the exact same jokes, we still tell the same jokes. He really hasn’t changed a bit as far as how he goes about his business, how he treats people. That’s been really cool to see.”

Kerrigan hasn’t changed how he cares for his body, either. He still won’t drink alcohol during the season, a habit he started at Purdue. (“With the amount of snaps I was playing then — and I’m playing now — I need every ounce of energy I can get, and 25-cent PBRs aren’t gonna help with that,” he explained.) He still cooks virtually all his own meals, focusing on “very bland food,” although he boasted that he recently added avocado to his repertoire; “that’s been a revelation to me,” he said.

He lifts weights religiously — he went to a local gym Monday, since Redskins Park’s equipment was already being packed up — and started measuring his calories this offseason. He wound up settling on about 850-calorie meals, consumed six times a day. Smoothies made with kale, carrots, avocados, walnuts, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries became a particular favorite. And even veterans have paid attention to his routine.

“You can show the younger guys, this is what it’s going to take to be successful in this league, by the example that he sets,” Golston said. “He’s a guy that will play as long as he wants to play, and when I say that, I’m talking about 15, 16, 17 years, barring some catastrophic injury. I mean, every day — no matter if it’s the first day of the offseason or the last day of a 4-12 year — he’s doing all the little things the right way.”

Feature Clips 2015

Kerrigan said he wants to be looked at not just as consistent, a popular adjective, but as “consistently really good,” someone who is “an impact player each game.” And with his new contract –a reported five-year, $57.5 million deal — Kerrigan also seems set to become one of the faces of the franchise.

“He’s been one of the faces of the team,” tight end Niles Paul argued. “When you think of the Redskins, you think of Ryan Kerrigan. You may [also] think of Robert Griffin or DeSean Jackson, but you think of Ryan Kerrigan.”

Kerrigan almost blushes when asked about titles like that, the same way he reacts when asked about his brief offseason relationship with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki and the attention that brought. (“I mean, that was something else,” he said. “It just was weird to me how many people were interested.”)

Why does he still seem so surprised by the interest? Because Kerrigan didn’t come to Washington to be a celebrity, or a marquee name, to earn a mansion or a fleet of cars.

“That was never my goal, to be the face of the franchise,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to be a positive representative of the franchise: that when people think of me, they think of the Washington Redskins, and they think of that in a good light. That’s something that’s been a focus of mine since the day I’ve gotten here. And fortunately it’s been able to work out like that. And I guess it’s my responsibility just to make sure that continues.”

Nose Tackle Terrance Knighton

In a big man’s game, new Redskin Terrance Knighton has massive appeal

By Dan Steinberg The Washington Post June 3, 2015

Redskins General Manager Scot McCloughan has been clear about what size of football player he prefers.

“You need big guys up front,” he has said.

“It’s a big man’s game,” he has said.

“I like big guys,” he has said.

So meet new nose tackle Terrance Knighton. The Redskins list him at 331 pounds, which is at least a couple Thanksgiving turkeys away from the truth. Wandering the sidelines at Redskins offseason workouts, Knighton makes hulking teammates appear Swiftian — Taylor, not Jonathan. Defensive linemen are paid to fill gaps; Knighton could plug the Cumberland. He’s clearly Washington’s largest player, which is a bit like saying Manute Bol was once the Bullets’ tallest player: woefully insufficient.

“He’s the biggest person I’ve ever seen,” tight end Logan Paulsen said.

“He makes us all look like children out there,” 258-pound linebacker Trent Murphy said.

“Unblockable, man,” said middle linebacker Keenan Robinson, whose life figures to be easier in the shadow of Mount Knighton. “That’s an immovable force.”

Feature Clips 2015

Ryan Kerrigan called Knighton “a big ol’ dude.” ESPN 980’s Doc Walker described him as “a dancing bear,” the same phrase used by Knighton’s former defensive coordinator, . Peyton Manning once said Knighton had “a massive presence,” while new Washington defensive coordinator Joe Barry called him “an imposing dude.”

And how does Knighton describe himself?

“My body type? Special,” said the 28-year old free agent addition, who is several dozen pounds heavier than Barry Cofield, last season’s opening day nose tackle. “You take anybody around the league and you make ’em my size, I guarantee they don’t move as quick as me and aren’t as explosive as me. I’m just blessed to be this size and move well.”

In high school, Knighton was a 6-foot-2 240-pound pass catcher who also loved basketball. His high school coach once told the Hartford Courant that Knighton handled the ball “like a Globetrotter,” and the nose tackle still insists he can dunk a basketball with a single drop step. By his post-graduate year at star-studded Milford Academy, Knighton weighed about 285 pounds, and Coach Bill Chaplick presented him with two options.

“I told him if he wanted to be a tight end, he’d have to be 250 and diet the rest of his life, or he could be a defensive lineman and eat whatever he wants,” Chaplick said. “That was a no-brainer.”

At Milford, Knighton teamed with future NFL nose tackle Antonio Dixon to create a land mass at the line of scrimmage; teams eventually stopped trying to run the ball up the middle.

“It would make my day if they tried to run against us, because it wasn’t going to happen,” Chaplick said. “You and I could have gone in there and played linebacker behind those two.”

Knighton went on to Temple, was drafted by the Jaguars, and eventually became a star in Denver. He played in a Super Bowl with the Broncos, was named a team captain, won the good guy award for his dealings with the media, became the locker room DJ, and starred in commercials for Bridgestone Tires that riffed off his size.

(“First time on a treadmill?” Knighton is asked in one of the spots, while another has him frantically dealing with an empty refrigerator.)

Knighton started describing himself as the Chris Paul of the Broncos, giving assists to linebackers while he occupied two or three blockers at once. He also spent as much time as he could with guys such as Manning and DeMarcus Ware, learning “what a true professional looks like,” and he hasn’t been shy about bringing those observations to Ashburn. He talks frequently to Robert Griffin III about how Manning prepared, and asks Griffin every day what he did to get better.

“That’s something that Peyton made other players do,” Knighton said. “For example, in the walk-through, I told [Griffin] a lot of quarterbacks go through the motions. When Peyton’s in walk-through, he’s going through his footwork full speed. Timing is something that receivers and quarterbacks continually work on, and that’s something that you shouldn’t take for granted. … We talk all the time.”

Teammates have noticed this, and something else as well: that Knighton moves like a man several shirt sizes smaller.

“When you see someone that big moving that fluidly and that easily, it catches your eye,” Paulsen said.

“He’s a large man that has the athletic ability of a smaller guy,” Golston said.

“When you have a man of that size, you think he’s just gonna be a blob that just sits in the middle and gets his hands on the center,” Barry said. “His movement skills, and his ability to bend his knees, and his ability to redirect laterally, for a man that big, I’ve never seen anything like it. So it’s very, very impressive, and I think we’re going to be able to have a lot of fun with him.”

Feature Clips 2015

Knighton said he played at around 350 pounds last year and weighs more than 360 now, but promised “the arrow’s going down, I know that.” His goal is to stay in on third downs this season, because “that’s where the money’s made,” so he hopes to lose at least 15 pounds before the season begins, and ideally to drop into the 340s.

Knighton was not happy with the free-agency market he encountered during the offseason, which led to his one-year, $4 million deal in Washington, where McCloughan was intent on biggering his roster. Knighton still argues he’s a “dominant” player, and the league’s best run-stopping nose tackle.

“Obviously in the free agency process, people were worried about my weight and things like that,” he said. “Just turn on the tape. Turn on the tape: That’s how I feel.”

For now, media members and fans will continue to gawk at the man who makes a 300-pounder such as Golston look skinny. (“Well, thank you,” Golston said.) Murphy said Knighton occupies “like three gaps.” Barry said Knighton is “a joy to be around,” with a work ethic as ample as his girth. Asked about Knighton’s size, Robinson said “I think he’s perfect.”

Now in Washington, 'Pot Roast' Knighton has beef with rest of the NFL

By Don Banks Sports Illustrated June 11, 2015

ASHBURN, Va. -- Did the weight create the wait? Terrance Knighton can’t help but wonder when he considers the tepid response he generated in free agency this spring. The run-stuffing former Broncos surprisingly lasted longer on the market than expected and received only a single offer he deemed remotely acceptable, a one-year prove-it deal in Washington, where he has the opportunity to earn a modest $4-million-plus in 2015.

Was the big man seen as too big a risk for a big-money contract—call it Albert Haynesworth syndrome—or did his usual 340-pound girth have less to do with it than a mentality within the league that continues to de-emphasize run-stoppers in favor of pass rushers? Either way, the mountain of a man they call “Pot Roast” has a beef with the rest of the league now. The newest moniker he answers to is “the biggest steal in free agency,” a label that motivates Knighton and just might pay off handsomely for Washington this season.

“Yeah, I was [the biggest steal],” Knighton said Tuesday, after going through the paces of another Washington OTA session. “But I’ve always bet on myself. I consider myself a premier player in this league, and I’ve got a lot of football left. This will be my seventh season, so when I hit the table again, there won’t be any excuses next time.”

Considered one of the most consistently productive players at his position, Knighton started 32 games in his two seasons in Denver and drew rave reviews for his work in helping the Broncos make a Super Bowl run two years ago. But he knows that concerns about his weight may have impacted his free agency options, and he was among those puzzled by the lack of interest Denver showed in re-signing him, not to mention Oakland, which is now coached by his former Broncos defensive coordinator, Jack Del Rio.

“Yeah, maybe my weight was an issue for some, but my thing is turn on the tape,” Knighton said. “There have been plenty of big guys. I’m not the first big guy to come through this league. You’ve got , you’ve got . All these types of guys who have been big and successful and got big contracts. But turn on my tape. There are guys at my position in this league who make more money than me, but who can’t fit into my shoes.”

Though Knighton didn’t say it, one of those players may be the guy Del Rio and the Raiders targeted in addressing their interior defensive line needs: former Cardinals defensive tackle Dan Williams, who earned a four-year, $25 million deal Feature Clips 2015

from Oakland in free agency, including a hefty $15.2 million guaranteed. That contract dwarfed the money Knighton ultimately received, which fell far short of the $8 million per year that he reportedly was seeking as free agency opened.

Did Knighton, 28, price himself out of his own market, or were teams worried that a sizable payday would lead to both his body and his game getting softer, the way Haynesworth’s monster $100-million seven-year contract ($41 million guaranteed) with Washington in 2009 so famously led to the demise of his career? If there was any linkage there, it’s not applicable now, and needless to say, the always outspoken Knighton doesn’t understand that potential concern.

“I was surprised [by Oakland], but they went a different way,” he said. “They made their decision and they’ll have to live with it.”

But the reality this spring is Knighton is working out with his new team with noticeably more weight on his massive frame, and that has brought the issue of his size back around. He says he intends to be down to 350 pounds by training camp and into the 340s by the regular season—he’s listed at a laughable 331 on the Washington roster—but is thought to currently weigh in the high 360s or even 370. That won’t work long-term, and it perhaps helps explain why the Broncos didn’t fight to re-sign him, with at least one Bleacher Report story claiming earlier this year that Knighton had been fined hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent seasons due to weight-related issues.

Knighton said he played in the range of 350 pounds last season in Denver, but his effectiveness did not waiver no matter what the scale said. He played 48 percent of the Broncos' defensive snaps and according to Pro Football Focus posted a defensive stop on 8.5 percent of his run snaps last year, good for 11th best among defensive tackles. Denver’s run defense was stout in 2014, allowing 79.8 yards per game.

Though he excelled on third downs during the Broncos' run to the Super Bowl in 2013, Knighton became almost exclusively a two-down player last season as his contract year unfolded. He does not believe there was any coincidence behind that development.

“To make it clear, last year in Denver I didn’t play third downs just because I think for contractual reasons,” he said. “That’s absolutely what happened. My first year in Denver I played on third down. When we made that Super Bowl run, when guys were hurt, I was one of the only stars left on the D-line, and I was out there on third down and I led the charge. So I proved I can play on third down, but there’s a lot of politics involved. I’m just happy to be in Washington.”

Never one to tip-toe with his words, Knighton has said he believes Denver is willing to make anyone expendable, as long as it has Peyton Manning at quarterback. Manning allows the Broncos to look for corners to cut elsewhere on the roster.

“I said that before and I mean it,” Knighton said. “When I say things, that’s how I feel. And they feel as long as they’ve got No. 18 at quarterback, everybody else will fall in line, you know?”

Washington could be the benefactor of the questions that surrounded Knighton’s free agency, and he was definitely the bargain basement centerpiece acquisition of a significant defensive line upgrade in D.C.—which also included the signing of free agent Stephen Paea away from Chicago and Ricky Jean-Francois after his release by Indianapolis. With the return to health of defensive end Jason Hatcher, Washington’s 3–4 front should be much stouter under first-year defensive coordinator Joe Barry.

“I was actually surprised he was available,” second-year Washington head coach Jay Gruden said of Knighton. “We didn’t play Denver last year so I didn’t get a big look at him on tape, but I remember from the playoff run they had two years ago and he was damn near unstoppable in there. He’s got great hands and it’s very tough to sustain a block with him. He sheds blocks extremely well.

“It was a surprise to see him on the market, but when we put the film on, he looked fine to me, so we were excited to get him. He’s a unique guy because he’s such a wrecker in the run game. It’s just hard to find those guys. ‘Yeah, go ahead and run up the middle against him. Now it’s second-and-eight, so good job.’” Feature Clips 2015

Knighton’s weight is at least enough of an issue in Washington for the team to reportedly tie about $450,000 of his salary to his compliance with specific weight clauses. Gruden said Knighton is working with the team’s dietician and strength coach, and is taking positive steps in battling the bulge.

“Maybe teams were worried he got too big and maybe teams were off of the big defensive linemen, because a lot of them want to go smaller up front and rush the passer,” Gruden said. “It depends on a team’s need. The problem with a big man like that is, how much base offense are you seeing? He’s known for being a big run-stopping guy, but a lot of teams are doing a spread-out passing game so often.

“But yeah, his weight, that’s big. I’m more worried about him personally, for him to be in life-after-football shape, and to be able control his weight. He’s doing a good job and taking a lot of good steps. But a lot of it’s up to him. I think he can do whatever he wants to do, because he’s that type of guy. He’s a tough-minded guy, and if he doesn’t handle it, we’ll make sure we help him and try to get him down to where we need to.”

Knighton said his mission this year is clear. He intends to provide veteran, winning leadership in Washington and play his way back on the field on third downs, because “that’s where the money is made” in the NFL. Gruden does not discount that possibility, saying “I’ve seen him do it when he was with Denver. He was on third downs in the playoffs games I saw, and he was effective there. But obviously stamina has a lot to do with it.”

Knighton said while he played as low as 325–330 pounds during his final of four seasons in Jacksonville in 2012, he loses too much strength if he drops below 340. “I’m just naturally a big guy, a 340–350-pound player,” he said. “But I’m a special type of 350 in that I can move like guys who are 300 pounds.”

Knighton’s confidence already has infused Washington’s defensive line room, and Chris Baker, his fellow defensive lineman and near life-long friend from their days growing up together in Hartford, Conn., said Knighton's athleticism will surprise everyone.

“People don’t believe because he’s so big now, but he was a 250-pound all-state receiver in high school,” said Baker, who helped recruit Knighton to Washington, even lobbying for him to come to D.C. via a social media campaign he started. “They don’t make those any more. For a guy his size, you don’t see anybody who can carry the weight that he has and be able to move his feet the way he can. A guy who weights 350 should not be able to move the way he moves.”

Knighton’s next big move comes next spring when he’s again eligible for free agency. Will he have changed the narrative by then with the results of his prove-it season in Washington? By his own account, there will be no excuses next time, or lingering unanswered questions. There is both money to be made and a point to prove this year.

“This is a good group we have in the defensive lineman room,” Knighton said. “We’re going to be fast and physical on the defensive side of the ball, and I’m just here to dominate that line of scrimmage like I’ve been doing the past three years, bringing some leadership and showing these guys what it takes to get to that next level and play in the Super Bowl.”

Let Knighton come anywhere close to meeting those lofty goals, and his profile will again be on the rise, with a resume that speaks for itself.

Running Back Alfred Morris

Alfred Morris, by NFL standards, is overworked and underpaid

By Dan Steinberg Feature Clips 2015

The Washington Post Aug. 5, 2015

RICHMOND — Call up a list of NFL running backs who have topped 3,900 yards in their first three seasons, and you’ll be confronted with greatness. There’s Eric Dickerson and Earl Campbell, LaDanian Tomlinson and Emmitt Smith, Eddie George and Ottis Anderson, Terrell Davis and Adrian Peterson, Barry Sanders and Walter Payton.

It’s only been done 15 times in league history, most recently by Washington’s Alfred Morris, a man who has more yards on fewer carries than did stars like Edgerrin James and Curtis Martin through their first three years.

Now call up a list of NFL running backs who are scheduled to make more money than Morris this season. There’s , the first-round flop who’s already on his third team. There’s , who in five seasons has gained 18 more yards than Morris recorded in his rookie year alone. There’s change-of-pace back Danny Woodhead, and there’s Roy Helu Jr. — Morris’s former backup.

It’s hard to say that millionaire professional athletes are underpaid. Alfred Morris, though, is underpaid.

“I feel bad for him for a number of reasons,” said Davis, the former Denver star and current NFL Network analyst. “He’s already put in a lot of work, and he’s never going to make up that time. He’s never going to make up those years in terms of dollars. He just won’t.”

Davis should know. Of the 15 most productive rushers through three seasons in NFL history, 12 were first-round picks. Another went in the second round. Only Davis and Morris — both sixth rounders — came near the draft’s end.

But Davis renegotiated his contract twice in his first three seasons: once after his breakout rookie year, and again after his Super Bowl MVP campaign, when he became the league’s highest-paid running back. The newest collective bargaining agreement does not allow for such deals.

Yes, Morris’s pay will more than double this season thanks to a league-wide performance clause based on the number of snaps he’s already played. But he’ll still only make around $1.5 million on the last year of his rookie contract — putting him behind plenty of less-accomplished backs.

Meanwhile, Morris trails only Marshawn Lynch in both rushing yards and carries over the past three seasons. At a position that famously chews up and spits out young bodies, the 26-year old is spending his athletic prime behaving like a workhorse, and being paid like a backup.

“They didn’t have somebody like Alfred Morris in mind when they did this new CBA,” Davis said. “Running backs, our careers, they’re not long. So you’ve got to get that money while you can, and typically your early years are going to be your better years. And if you don’t get paid then, they don’t want to give you that big deal after five or six years. They say you’ve got a lot of tread on your tires, and they think you might be on the decline five or six years into your career, which is crazy.”

And as Davis pointed out, it isn’t clear how Morris could remedy the situation. If he turns in another workhorse 270-carry and 1,100-yard season, he’s adding more wear to his body. If he doesn’t — and there’s been talk of sharing carries with rookie Matt Jones — then Morris could be dinged for declining productivity.

“He’s really stuck between a rock and a hard place,” Davis said. “Running back is one of the few positions where what’s on that stat sheet is directly tied to how you are [judged] as a player. You’ve got to maintain that level as a great back, you’ve got to maintain those numbers, and that’s just a harsh reality. … You want to show that you’re an exceptional back, but you want to be compensated for it. What’s fair is fair, that’s the bottom line.”

Feature Clips 2015

This conversation might as well be about applied geophysics, as far as Morris is concerned. He’s been asked frequently about his contract and his future during training camp; his answers emerged unblemished from some How to Say the Right Thing laboratory.

Morris said he’d be happy to share the ball with Jones, but would also be happy to continue his current pace. He said his body feels great, breaking out in laughter when asked if he worries about the wear on his legs. He said he never looks at his stats, and has no idea where his carries and yards rank either in the modern NFL or historically.

“I really don’t know what to tell you,” he said. “I thoroughly enjoy what I do. So if they want to give me more carries, great. If they don’t, that’s fine, too. I’m just gonna come out here every day with a smile on my face.”

This is quintessential Morris. Remember, just a few weeks ago, he reacted to an ESPN.com story that suggested he wasn’t elite by agreeing that yes, he’s not elite. And if he ever thinks about the obvious unfairness of his contract, it’s hard to tell.

“It’s not about the money for him, and that’s what you respect about a guy like Alfred,” said fullback Darrel Young. “The money will show up for him in the end, because he’s worked so hard. I told him I just need a little bit of what he gets.”

Both Coach Jay Gruden and General Manager Scot McCloughan have praised Morris in recent days, and said they want to keep him in Washington for years. (Gruden even joked that Morris should probably ask for the ball more often.) But it’s hard not to worry what would happen if he were injured, or otherwise slowed, before getting that big contract. Well, hard for outsiders, maybe.

“I love it,” Morris said, when asked about his load. “The more I do, the better I do. I thoroughly enjoy it. I’m a workhorse, that’s who I am. So no, it doesn’t bother me one way or the other.”

And so Morris will attempt to become the first player in franchise history to record four straight 1,000-yard seasons, with a salary that also seems like a historical relic.

“It’s all unfair,” agreed Michael Robinson, another former rusher turned NFL Network analyst. “But the team’s job is to find cheap labor. Him, Russell Wilson, those have been some of the cheapest-labor guys that this league has seen.”

Wilson just cashed in with his first mega-deal. Morris — despite numbers that put him among the game’s greats — is still waiting for his.

Redskins’ Alfred Morris is an old-school running back thriving in the new NFL

By Liz Clarke The Washington Post Sept. 16, 2015

In a parking lot of Mercedes-Maybachs, BMW 7 series with tinted windows, Cadillac Escalades and at least one Bentley, the red-and-white bicycle stands out.

Like its owner, Washington Redskins running back Alfred Morris, who rides eight miles round trip to work each day, the bike is a testament to a simpler era with no need to draw attention to itself, notable only because of the reserved Redskins Park parking spot it occupies.

At 26, Morris is an old-soul running back, tough-minded and tough to bring down. He’s also a man of old-school values, in a contract year yet not making a peep about salary expectations when his four-year deal expires. Morris reveres the Feature Clips 2015

great NFL backs of old, treasures the jersey that Hall of Famer Earl Campbell sent him his rookie season and is surely the only Redskin past or present who doesn’t refer to Sonny Jurgensen by his first name.

To Morris, No. 9 is “Mr. Jurgensen.”

In many ways, Morris has one foot in the past as he embarks on his fourth NFL season. But he is hardly standing pat, devoting much of his offseason to improving his pass-catching skills so he can become a more complete back and do his part, in whatever role coaches ask, to help the Redskins rebound from back-to-back losing seasons.

Said Redskins running backs coach Randy Jordan, who considers Morris an exceptional role model: “You see the yards and the production, but what he has probably been more valuable at than anything is being a good leader, bringing along the young players, sacrificing for the team when he has to. He looks at the big picture, and he wants to win. He wants to be part of a winning team.”

To that end, Morris tagged along with quarterback Kirk Cousins as a volunteer receiver on numerous workouts this winter and spring with the quarterback’s offseason throwing coach, .

“It’s another opportunity to get your hands on the ball — to help your team and be more productive,” Morris explained during an interview Wednesday. “The more you can do, the more your chance of being productive on the team and staying on the team.”

The NFL in general has shifted full-throttle to a throwing league, and running backs increasingly are expected to be part of that equation.

At the same time, the Redskins, after a 4-12 season of quarterback instability and offensive futility, are attempting to forge an offensive identity on hard-nosed running. That’s why General Manager Scot McCloughan invested the team’s third- round draft pick on Florida’s 6-foot-2, 231-pound Matt Jones.

That raised questions about whether Morris had lost a step, in coaches’ eyes. A Pro Bowl honoree in 2013 and 2014, Morris has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his three seasons. But his production ebbed slightly each year, as did his yards per rush (from 4.8, to 4.6 to 4.1).

If Morris gave even passing thought to whether Jones would take some of his carries or supplant him as the Redskins’ starter, there was no evidence. He went out of his way to help Jones adjust, Jordan said, and was equally magnanimous to Chris Thompson and Trey Williams.

“Growing up, we didn’t have that much, but we had each other,” said Morris, who was reared in a family of seven boys. “It definitely created a strong bond between me and my brothers. So when these young guys come in, I see them as brothers as well. And we’re all in this together.”

When the Redskins convened for training camp, Jordan was struck by the gains Morris had made in the offseason. His hand-eye coordination was sharper; his route-running was more defined.

“He has become a very much improved receiver, and that’s going to help him,” Jordan said. “You can use him on passing situations and play-action. Because he’s such a good runner, you can get more respect from the defense.”

Morris didn’t dazzle in the preseason, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry. But limited spurts aren’t his forte. For reasons that elude Morris, he hits his stride as games grind on, finding rhythm in the repetition and the hits.

As Jordan puts it: “He’s a guy that needs 20-plus carries to get lathered up. He is one of those throwbacks. You get to carry number 14, 15, 16, 17, and there’s a big discrepancy [in the gains] between those carries and the first 10 carries.”

Feature Clips 2015

Helped by stout blocking from the offensive line, Morris was back to form in Sunday’s season opener against Miami, spotting holes, lowering his head and plowing for chunks of yardage — he rushed for 121 — that helped keep the threat of play-action alive.

“Steady” and “durable” is how Cousins describes Morris. Commonplace words, but the quarterback offers them as high praise.

“He is tough minded, and it reflects in the way he runs the football,” Cousins said. “Tough to bring down, he’s got good body control. He’s got good ability to cut and change directions and all those things lend themselves well to being a good back and consistently being a good back week in and week out rather than just being a guy that flashes here and then disappears.”

Count former Redskins running back Brian Mitchell among the ardent Morris fans.

“He’s not the Barry Sanders type or the guy that does a lot of sexy stuff,” Mitchell says. “But I was always taught that the object of the game was to be successful, be positive and get the job done. He’s mild-mannered, a great kid. He’s not out there blowing up social media sites and doing silly stuff. People act as if he’s boring, but I think boring is great. We always tell our kids to be humble, hard-working, dedicated and passionate. He’s all those things.”

Redskins’ Alfred Morris spends pregame with ‘my Stadium Fam’ of ushers, security guards

By Alfred Morris The Washington Post October 2, 2015

A bit more than two hours before Washington’s last home game, Alfred Morris emerged from the stadium tunnel and ambled down the home team’s sideline. FedEx Field was calm and quiet then. A few players and staffers from the Redskins and the Rams stretched on the field. Others sat on the benches and chatted. Some children carrying colorful flags excitedly lined up to practice a game-day presentation.

Morris veered past all this and headed straight to the far corner of the sideline. Once there, he hopped over the wall, sat down, and apologized for being late.

Thus began one of the most unusual pre-game routines in Washington sports: Morris’s weekly communion with his friends who work in guests services or security at FedEx Field. It’s a tradition he started during preseason of his rookie year — before he became one of the most productive running backs in the NFL — when an usher asked him to stop by and chat. The rookie obliged.

“He was just a normal person, treating me like a normal person,” Morris recalled. “So I kept doing it.”

The group grew, and the conversations became a fixture of his game days. Morris learned all the staffers’s names. He kept in touch with them during the offseason. They started meeting up for all-you-can-eat crab and shrimp feasts at local restaurants. He calls them “my Stadium Fam,” and if you think there isn’t peace and happiness at FedEx Field on fall Sundays, you’ve never observed these 20-minute sessions, which start with laughter and end with a prayer.

The running back slapped hands with one staffer on this September morning, shook hands with another, slapped hands with a third, and then settled back to talk about … what exactly?

Well, fishing. The weather. The latest television shows. The previous day’s action. Family life. How his friends were doing at work. Just the usual stuff NFL players discuss with stadium staffers two hours before kickoff. Feature Clips 2015

“We just talk about regular things, regular life,” said Lorenzo Parker, 31, one of the guest services employees.

“All sorts of things,” said Campbell McKenneth, 45, another regular.

“Just life, basically,” said Elizabeth, who’s in her first season working in that corner of the field. This whole Morris thing still feels a bit unusual to her, so she mostly stays off to the side and listens. But for many of the 10 or so staffers who meet up with the running back on Sundays, these sessions are as natural as talking about “Game of Thrones” at the Keurig machine, or ordering Chinese food every Thursday: just another office ritual.

“He acts just like he’s one of us,” Parker said. “I just look at him like a regular friend. It’s nothing different.”

“My first reaction was, ‘Dang, this is Alfred Morris.’ You know what I’m saying?” McKenneth said. “But seeing how cool and relaxed he was in talking to us, it made us feel cool and relaxed and easy talking to him.”

“I think it does say something for him,” Parker said. “It just shows the type of character that he has.”

There’s been a lot of anguished talk in Washington this week about whether you need to admire the athletes you’re rooting for. Many Nats fans are gutted by the near-certain offseason departure of Ian Desmond, the most fan-friendly of the Natitude era’s core. Many of these same fans feel uneasy — or worse — about cheering for Jonathan Papelbon, the closer with the unsavory reputation who has taken one too many swipes at Bryce Harper’s throat.

Morris, though, appears to be everything you could hope for in a local star: a late-round pick who borrowed his touchdown celebration from a youth baseball team, cherishes his ancient beater of a car, uses his prime parking space in Ashburn for bicycle storage, has refused to complain about his woefully low salary, and has gone out of his way this fall to praise Matt Jones, the rookie who already is eating into his starting role.

At that last home game — five hours after Morris hugged his game-day friends — Jones emerged as the offensive star, with his first 100-yard game. Morris’s response? He spent the postgame talking about mentoring this kid who was filling up his rear-view mirror.

“I’m just paying it forward,” Morris said. “I had older guys who would do the same thing for me, not only in this world but in college as well, so I just always want to give that back. I know we’re competing, that’s easy, but just to be able to help each other, I think it’s definitely been paying off. … I’m happy for him. I really am.”

That’s about what you’d have guessed after watching Morris — in burgundy shorts and a gray t-shirt, with a brown cross hanging around his neck — giggle his way through his pre-game routine. You imagine NFL stadiums as caverns of noise and violence and bad behavior. But there’s a real peace before all that, when defensive coordinator Joe Barry is slowly circling the field in his street clothes, and Tress Way and Nick Sundberg are having a relaxed game of catch, and staffers are jogging up and down the steps.

It was sunny and breezy, almost serene. Morris and his friends could have been having a weekend picnic or waiting for an outdoor show to begin. The conversations, he said, help him “quiet your mind, just have that little peace and just chill out before the game, before it gets chaotic. Because once that whistle blows, it starts, and it starts fast.”

Even asking him about the sessions feels crass, as if he has any reason to explain being pals with his co-workers. Still, he tried.

“I mean, I’m a person just like anybody else. You’re a person; I’m a person; but just because I play a game, they elevate me,” Morris said. “I’m a normal, everyday person; I just happen to play football in the NFL. … I ain’t no better than the next person.That’s just the way I look at life, man. In God’s eyes, we’re all equal, so why should I act like I’m better than anybody else when I’m not?” Feature Clips 2015

Two minutes before 11, the nine people in that corner — black and white, male and female, NFL star and non-NFL star — held each other’s hands and bowed their heads. By now, the stadium sound system was firing up, blasting “Renegades” as ushers prepared for the gates to open. Parker led the small group in their weekly prayer.

Then Morris handed out more handshakes and hugs, and hopped back over the wall.

Linebackers Keenan Robinson and Perry Riley, Jr.

Redskins’ inside linebackers hard at work mastering new defensive scheme

By Zac Boyer The Washington Times August 5, 2015

RICHMOND — The sturdy, silver lunch pail rests conspicuously on the sidelines, gleaming in the mid-summer afternoon sun. Keenan Robinson wants everyone to see it. He wants his fellow linebackers to know that it’s time to put in a solid day’s work.

“I’m a guy that doesn’t need to be reminded, but I bring it to remind other guys,” Robinson said. “Every day, we’ve got to bring our lunch pail, just come ready to work, and this is an opportunity each and every day when we step on the field.”

For all the tumult that struck the Washington Redskins‘ defense during the offseason, between the coaching changes, free agent signings and adjustment in philosophy, no group was less affected than the Redskins‘ inside linebackers.

Robinson, the mike linebacker, and Perry Riley, the jack linebacker, weathered the changes together. Their task during training camp, then, is to become familiar enough with defensive coordinator Joe Barry’s aggressive one-gap, 3-4 scheme to make sure that when the season opens at home against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 13, it’s a well-oiled machine.

“We’re the quarterbacks of the defense, so we have to play strong and lead the other group of guys, and they’ll follow our lead,” Riley said. “We know that it starts with us, and that’s what we’re focused on this year.”

In previous years, under defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, the Redskins primarily ran a two-gap scheme, in which defensive linemen stood across the line of scrimmage from their counterparts, were responsible for clogging up the lanes and let the linebackers do the work.

Barry’s scheme, though, is different. Players will be asked to line up in those gaps, either to bring a premature end to the running game or force offensive linemen to account for what could be a clear path to the quarterback. If they don’t get through, Riley and Robinson can then clean up the mess.

It’s something coach Jay Gruden wanted to do when he sought a new defensive coordinator in January.

“[The scheme] allows us to play faster,” Riley said. “We can just get downhill, shoot our gaps, not worry about playing two or three gaps or running sideways as much. It allows the defense to be more aggressive.”

That transition would have been something to undertake had the Redskins returned the same personnel from last season. Instead, after allowing 27.4 points per game, the third-most in the league, and 5.85 yards per play, the sixth-worst mark of any team, changes needed to be made.

Feature Clips 2015

Robinson, who had a team-high 108 tackles last season, and Riley, who finished with 93, were only tangibly affected. The biggest adjustment was the verbiage and the wording of the playbook; everything else, Robinson said, “has been pretty fluid.”

“That’s the only thing that’s different, so that’s the only thing that we’ve had to try to change and try to learn,” Robinson said. “Everything else has been pretty fluid going from Haslett’s defense to Joe Barry’s defense.”

That steadying presence benefited the Redskins last season, when Robinson, in his first year as a starter, led the team with 108 tackles. Riley finished third on the defense with 93 tackles; the two players combined for 14 tackles for a loss, including 3.5 sacks, with each making 26 stops in the passing game.

Robinson’s emergence was particularly noteworthy because of his history. A fourth-round draft pick in 2012 who was tabbed by the coaches at the time as an eventual starter, he tore his right pectoral late in his rookie season, then tore his left pectoral on the opening day of training camp the following July.

“He’s a very bright guy, and as last year’s experiences, as far as playing full-time, really helped him seeing the game, seeing formations, recognizing formations, making the calls and making the checks,” Gruden said. “Now he’s using different words. Some of it has carried over, but a lot of it has changed. He’s doing a good job.”

Riley has taken note, and he believes last year’s experiences will only help the two successfully navigate the transition.

He’s also kept an eye on Robinson’s lunch pail, which he described as being “just him.”

“As long as he’s still out there balling, he can bring whatever he wants to practice,” Riley said. “It’s something that he does to get himself ready, and as long as he comes ready, I’m all for it.”

Offensive Lineman Brandon Scherff

Brandon Scherff receives high praise from The Hogs

By Jake Russell The Washington Post May 21, 2015

Less than an hour after being selected by the Redskins with the fifth pick in this year’s NFL draft, new right tackle Brandon Scherff was asked about The Hogs, Washington’s famed offensive line unit that dominated in the 1980s and ’90s.

In fact, almost every new, high-profile offensive lineman brought in to wear the burgundy and gold is either quizzed on or compared to that group, and vice versa. And so several members of the Hogs said they were excited about Washington’s new right tackle when interviewed at the 11th Annual Mickey Steele Texas Hold’em Tournament in Grasonville.

Joe Jacoby, who spent more than a decade as a bookend tackle for the Redskins, met the 23-year-old Scherff at last week’s annual Burgundy & Gold Banquet. He discussed The Hogs with Scherff, who said he was just going to be himself as he transitions to the NFL.

Jacoby agreed with that idea, telling Scherff ” ‘You should be you. We were ourselves. We were The Hogs. You don’t have to live up to that. Start your own thing.’ He understood that.”

Feature Clips 2015

When asked if pairing Scherff along with fellow first-round pick and three-time Pro Bowler Trent Williams could mark the beginning of Hogs 2.0, Jacoby reemphasized that this current offensive line should have its own legacy.

“I don’t think we should even go to that Hogs 2.0,” Jacoby said. “I think these guys all gotta build their own identity. I think it’s a good start.”

Hall of Fame guard , who spent 11 seasons with the Redskins, said he hopes this is the start of Hogs 2.0 and had some words for those that are tired of hearing comparisons to the Hogs.

“Like I say, if they want to quit hearing about the ’80s, Hogs and the last Super Bowl the Redskins won, then win another one,” Grimm said. “You’re going to hear about the past until you do something in the present.”

The Redskins, of course, haven’t come close to the Super Bowl in more than two decades, and over the last several seasons have often had less than stellar offensive line play. That has stood out to former Redskins tackle , who played with the team from 1987-1997.

“I’ve always watched the line play with the Redskins, whether it be good or bad,” Simmons said. “And I’ve looked for all the good things to see what we can build on, but I also recognize bad offensive line play when I see it. I think — and this is just me — when I watch it and I critique it, we were soft the past few years up front. I wish they were pushing people back, but they weren’t.

“When you’re a big dude, you don’t like to be called soft,” Simmons said. “You just want to be known as the big guy pushing guys around, and that’s what they’re bringing [Scherff] in for.”

The 6-foot-5, 319-pound Scherff will be making the conversion to right tackle after spending the last two seasons as Iowa’s left tackle, despite many analysts projecting him as an NFL guard.

“I think they’re not gonna spend that fifth pick in the first round to keep moving him around,” Jacoby said. “They wanna lock him in somewhere, get him comfortable, get him used to the system. A year or two from now, if they get another stud lineman and want to bring in another tackle, they can shift him down because he’s more familiar with the system.”

Grimm, who was a senior at the University of Pittsburgh when current Iowa head coach was a graduate assistant coach there, thinks Scherff’s transition to right tackle will be seamless.

“If a guy can play left tackle, he can easily move over and play right tackle,” Grimm said. “He’s got good enough feet. He’s strong enough. He’s tough enough. He’s got a good attitude.”

Raleigh McKenzie, another former member of the Hogs, is currently a college scout with the Oakland Raiders, who passed on Scherff in favor of Alabama wide receiver . He said the Raiders also thought very highly of Scherff.

“You can just tell the guy’s the ultimate offensive lineman. He’s a gritty guy. He’s a tough guy,” McKenzie said.

McKenzie played under current Redskins offensive line coach Bill Callahan from 1995-1996 when he was the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach. He says Scherff is in a great situation and is a “Callahan kind of guy.”

Scherff, who only missed one practice after tearing the meniscus in his right knee in a game early last season, is known for many things, including his ability to play through pain.

“He definitely shows a lot of toughness,” Simmons said. “He’s a big country boy. He likes to rough it. I don’t think there should be any problems.”

As for the long term prognosis of Scherff, the Hogs were optimistic.

“A lot of the guys that play now, I sit there and I watch football and I’m so disappointed in some of the kids’ play,” Simmons said. “I don’t know if the coaches expect more from them and so they don’t give it to them. I think this kid right here is going to be a leader, and the other guys on the team are going to step up and follow in his steps.”

“I think he’s got a bright future,” Jacoby said. “Hopefully he handles everything well and comes in and does what’s right.”

“He’s a smart kid, tough, does all the right things,” McKenzie said “He’s gonna be around for a long time.”

“He’s just a blue-collar tough guy,” Grimm said. “I know [Ferentz] teaches them out there that you play to the whistle, and he’s going to go after and he’s going to work to finish. I think he’s a smart kid. I think he’s going to have a hell of a career.”

Brandon Scherff brings modest attitude to offensive line

By Zac Boyer The Washington Times Sept. 10, 2015

They had been introduced one by one, positionally, then alphabetically, until the public address announcer asked Brandon Scherff to make his way onto the floor of the banquet hall.

Scherff, the Washington Redskins‘ rookie right guard, deferred. He stepped out of the entryway to make room for three- time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams, who received his own introduction moments later. Scherff respectfully followed, taking his seat at the annual awards luncheon at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center only after Williams had done so.

Of all the traits that led the Redskins to select Scherff with the No. 5 overall pick in the NFL draft in April — strength, athleticism, toughness — there may be no better characteristic that has defined his foray into the professional ranks than his humility.

Asked frequently to describe how he’s developed through the offseason, Scherff is quick to reply that he’s improved everything. Questioned about a change from right tackle to right guard after only a week of training camp, Scherff merely acknowledges that he was told to prepare to play both spots.

And, when recalling the moments that followed the announcement that he had been drafted, Scherff expressed no particular delight. To him, it was merely the acknowledgement that it was time to go to work.

“It was just a huge weight lifted off my shoulders,” Scherff said, “and I could finally go on with getting better.”

‘I’ll be happy where I go’

Gripping the lectern under the bright lights of a makeshift press conference at the NFL combine in February, Scherff was presented with the idea that life, as he knew it, was about to change.

The five-sport athlete who had grown up in rural, small-town Denison, Iowa and had become a star at the state’s flagship public university would, almost certainly, have to leave the Midwest if he were to play professional football. With a twinkle in his eye and a crooked smile, he chuckled. Feature Clips 2015

“I’ll be happy where I go,” Scherff said. “A small-town guy in a big city? That’s perfect.”

For Scherff, whose idea of happiness is sitting alongside a small farm pond with a rod in his hand and a lure in the water, there may be fewer cities that provide a bigger departure from his norm than Washington. Scrutiny can be intense, which is almost certainly why Scherff tries to keep a low profile.

Aside from meeting with representatives from the Redskins during that week in Indianapolis, contact between the two parties was limited. Perhaps it was an attempt by general manager Scot McCloughan to throw off other teams; reportedly, the Redskins had only two players ranked higher on their draft board than Scherff — outside linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. and wide receiver Amari Cooper, each of whom were off the board by the time the Redskins were on the clock.

The 6-foot-5, 319-pound Scherff was, still, a fitting selection. McCloughan, entering his first draft with the Redskins, subscribes to the belief that a team is built from the football out. His preference for strong, tough-nosed offensive linemen is well known; Scherff can hang-clean 480 pounds, and last season, after sustaining a right knee injury in Iowa’s season opener, he underwent arthroscopic surgery, practiced the next two days and didn’t miss a game.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden had wanted to overhaul the offensive line since he arrived prior to the 2014 season, and he did so by releasing center , moving left guard Kory Lichtensteiger inside and signing Shawn Lauvao to fill his void. McCloughan took that a step further this offseason, drafting Scherff and cutting right guard Chris Chester, a four-year starter, as well as hiring longtime offensive line coach Bill Callahan to join the staff.

Scherff was viewed by analysts as a player who could play well on the outside, but who would likely excel as a guard, given his abilities as a blocker when teams ran the football. McCloughan addressed the team’s plans for Scherff shortly after he was drafted, saying he would be a right tackle, but when practice began on Aug. 5, not even a full week into training camp, he worked at right guard.

“It’s [about] getting the best five on the field,” McCloughan said. “It doesn’t matter to me [where Scherff plays]. He could play center. He’s one of the five. We want the best five out there.

Remaining humble in the East

The third of four children, Scherff grew up playing several sports, but his love was always football. During the spring of his freshman season of high school, in addition to playing baseball, Scherff played tennis alongside his older brother, Justin — “I tried to spin in,” he said of his serve, because opponents “never expected it” — and also competed in track and field, throwing the shot put and the discus.

It was during his sophomore year, when Scherff won the Class 3A title in shot put, that Iowa’s coaches actually began to take a look at him. Defensive line coach Reese Morgan was stunned by the way Scherff, with poor form, was able to muscle a throw 59 feet, 5 1/2 inches.

“There’s a lot of great athletes, but not with the athletic skills that he has and his frame combined with his work ethic,” said Dave Wiebers, Scherff’s coach. “It’s kind of that combination of those things that could get you to that next level. He’s our first one that got to this level.”

Scherff won the Outland Trophy as the top interior lineman last season, when he earned all-America and all-Big Ten honors. Former teammates have praised his work ethic; Carl Davis, a defensive end who was drafted in the third round by the Baltimore Ravens, said that may be Scherff’s greatest attribute.

“There’s a lot of things that go into being a good offensive lineman in the NFL,” Lichtensteiger said. “He’s been blessed to have a lot of tools to help out, but it’s not like college. You can’t maul somebody every single play. You’re not going to Feature Clips 2015

get those kinds of knockdown shots with the same frequency that you will in college, so you have to hone in your technique and work every day to become better.”

Those long days have, in one regard, inhibited one of Scherff’s favorite pastimes. While in college, Scherff would go fishing up to four days a week, spending plenty of time at a fishing hole on land owned by the family of Austin Blythe, Iowa’s center. Last year, at another pond, Scherff and a friend reeled in a 45-pound catfish, which they cleaned, grilled and ate.

Such excursions allow Scherff to clear his mind, but as he found at Iowa, they can also draw him closer with his teammates. He has already found a few small holes near Redskins Park, and he said quarterback Colt McCoy has expressed an interest in joining him. So, too, has Lichtensteiger, who joked that he’s sure an invitation is coming.

Scherff feels fortunate to be able to pursue doing the things he enjoys, including making a living playing football. That, in a way, could be why he’s unwilling to upset the establishment, remaining humble and deferring to the advice, and wishes, of his teammates.

“I think he just has a different level of maturity to him,” Williams said. “He’s a good player. Obviously, taken No. 5 overall, everyone knows that, so I’m excited just to watch him show [everyone] the reason he was picked at five.”

Punter Tress Way

Tress and Cole Way: Brothers traveled many of the same roads, but are headed in different directions

By Doug Eaton TulsaPeople Magazine May 2015 issue

Tress and Cole Way are livin’ the sports dream — each in his own enviable way.

The brothers’ early athletic backgrounds mirrored one another in many aspects.

Tress, 25, and Cole, 23, both started as kickers in youth soccer. Both played football at Tulsa’s Union High School. Both were proficient punters — and each punted left-footed.

Both received football scholarships at in-state Division I universities — Tress to the University of Oklahoma in 2008 and Cole to The University of Tulsa in 2011.

By happenstance, Cole’s inaugural collegiate game happened to be against OU (and Tress) before nearly 90,000 rabid fans in Norman.

“I was probably more nervous for Cole than I was for myself,” says Tress, who concluded his OU punting career ranked No. 1 in school history with a 44-yard average.

After graduating from OU, he signed as a free agent with the Chicago Bears. He attended Bears training camps in 2013 and 2014, but each time, he failed to make the Bears’ final roster.

Robbie Gould, for the Bears, took Tress under his wing and offered encouragement.

“Robbie told me that I had the talent and that I belonged in the NFL,” Tress recalls.

Feature Clips 2015

Then, fate intervened.

Just a day after getting cut the second time, Tress took a phone call from the Washington Redskins inviting him to tryouts.

“I was given 10 days to make the team,” he says. “I had two good pre-season games and ended up making the team.”

Tress not only became the full-time Redskins punter for 2014, but also tied for the league lead in gross punting average (47.5 yards). He was 10th in net punting average (40 yards).

His longest punt was a booming 77-yarder (second-longest in the league) against the New York Giants.

Along the way, Tress married Brianna Turang, who played softball and soccer at OU. Her father is former Major League Baseball player Brian Turang.

But Tress is not defined solely by his on-field endeavors. He enjoys giving back to the Washington, D.C., community.

“The players have the opportunity to volunteer for community activities,” he says. “I’ve found that I really enjoy working with the NFL Play60 program, where we go out and interact with less fortunate kids. It’s actually my chance to be a kid again.”

Younger brother Cole’s road to the professional ranks took a sudden turn this past summer from football to baseball.

The 6 foot, 10 inch Cole enjoyed three successful years of punting for the Tulsa Golden Hurricane and was named All- Conference USA his freshman year.

He also exhibited dexterity, serving as the holder on extra points and field goals and adding kick-off duties his junior year.

Cole traveled to California with Tress over spring break 2014 to visit his future sister-in-law, Brianna.

On a lark, Cole visited Brian Turang’s training facility to toss a few baseballs. He had been a decent pitcher in high school, but it had been three years since he had seriously played baseball.

After growing three inches and adding about 40 pounds to his lanky frame, Cole discovered his fastball was hitting 90 mph — remarkably about 10 mph faster than in high school.

Turang was duly impressed and passed on the details of Cole’s performance to a scout for the Kansas City Royals.

Next, Cole and his dad, Leo, were invited to a pre-draft workout at the Royals’ Kauffman Stadium.

After the workout, Cole had a hint he might be drafted, but he didn’t know for sure.

Finally, in the last hour of the draft, in the 38th round and with the 1,143rd overall pick, the Royals selected Cole.

“When my name popped up, everyone started screaming and crying,” he remembers.

Cole suddenly found himself with a difficult choice: sign with the Royals and play pro baseball, or return to TU for his senior football season and follow Tress’ footsteps as a punter in the NFL.

He chose the former.

“Baseball has always been my dream,” Cole explains.

Feature Clips 2015

“I had one day to arrange my affairs before leaving,” he recalls. “I spent all day Monday talking to my TU coaches, moving from my apartment, packing, dropping my summer classes and saying goodbye.”

He was assigned to the Burlington Royals, Kansas City’s rookie level affiliate in the Appalachian League in North Carolina, where he appeared in seven games, earning one save.

This past fall, Cole was invited to play in the Arizona Instructional League, which is usually reserved for an organization’s top prospects.

Cole’s future aspirations?

“I plan to work hard,” he says. “I hope within the next two years to be on the Double A (Northwest Arkansas) roster and move up from there. Even though I am 23 years old, I really have an 18-year-old arm since I haven’t pitched since high school. I hope to take advantage of that.”

Tackle Trent Williams

Trent Williams lands five-year extension with Redskins

By The Washington Post Aug. 29, 2015

A week after the Washington Redskins‘ starting offense struggled without him, three-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams has earned himself a big pay day.

Williams announced via Twitter on Saturday afternoon that he has signed a five-year extension.

ESPN reported that the deal is worth $66 million, with $43.25 million guaranteed, which would make Williams the highest-paid tackle in the league.

The fourth overall pick of the 2010 draft, Williams is in the final season of a six-year, $60 million rookie contract. He will earn a base salary of $10.25 million this season. Adding in bonuses, he will earn $14.23 million this season – the richest salary on the roster. Then, his new contract kicks in. The year-by-year breakdowns of that deal weren’t immediately available.

Williams had expressed a strong desire to remain with Washington. In his tweet on Saturday, he described the development as a “dream come true.”

After Saturday night’s game, the lineman admitted he experienced a feeling of relief when he received a call from his agent, notifying him of the news, during the bus ride from the team hotel to M&T Bank Stadium.

“Obviously, every time you’ve got to step on the field and play, you’re taking a chance, and to know that my future is secured, it just allows me to let my hair down and play,” Williams said. “It was a pleasant surprise to know Washington made that commitment to me. My agent, Vincent Taylor, he worked night and day to get this thing nailed down before the regular season started and I owe it all to him. He went to bat for me.”

The Redskins held the same desire to retain the 6-foot-5, 325-pound left tackle. Throughout the offseason, they maintained confidence that a deal would get done. However, the two sides remained far apart on a deal as recently as June. Feature Clips 2015

Although he said he wasn’t worried at the time, Williams said during offseason workouts that he doubted that a pre- training camp agreement was realistic.

On the eve of camp, Washington completed one of their priority re-signings, awarding outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan a five-year, $57.5 million deal. However, Williams remained unsigned.

He said on July 30th that his uncertain future didn’t worry him or serve as a distraction, however.

Williams maintained that stance this week.

“I’m just not going to worry about it,” he said on Tuesday. “It’s up at the end of the year, and as of right now I’ve just got to give Washington one of the best years of my career. That’s my focus, just being better than last year. The contract situation, it’ll work out. Hopefully. I don’t really have a say in that.”

During his five previous seasons in Washington, Williams has gone from talented yet immature player to one of the most respected members of the team, both on and off the field.

In his second NFL season, Williams received a four-game suspension for failing multiple tests for marijuana use. Williams, whose four-game suspension came at the end of that 2011 season, returned the following year vowing to prove that he had learned his lesson and that he could be relied upon both as a player and member of the locker room.

Williams has delivered, serving as one of the team’s offensive captains in each of the past three seasons, while also becoming more dominant and more consistent. He has earned Pro Bowl honors in 2012, 2013 and 2014. This offseason, the NFL’s players voted Williams as the 47th-best player in the league in the NFL Network’s annual Top 100 poll.

“Something like this happens and you just reflect and go over all the years and the lessons learned and go over the journey,” Williams said. “You’re appreciative of all the adversity you went through and all the accolades that you’ve got, and it makes it all worth it.”

Bill Callahan full of praise for left tackle Trent Williams

By Mike Jones The Washington Post Aug. 5, 2015

RICHMOND – When he took over the leadership of the Washington Redskins’ offensive line, Bill Callahan largely inherited a reclamation project. However, left tackle Trent Williams – a three-time Pro Bowl selection – represented the brightest spot, and a crucial cornerstone for Callahan.

The two have only worked together for a couple of months now, but already, Callahan has developed a strong appreciation for Williams and the way he carries himself.

“I love Trent and the way he works,” Callahan gushed. “He’s adopted everything that we’ve asked him to do. He’s receptive, he’s open, and he’s the type of pro that wants to know more. That’s what I get the feeling when I’m around him, as he watches the game, as I observe him watching the game, he’s always got good questions, he’s interesting because he can pick out a nuance here and there that maybe I haven’t seen or bring it to my attention or bring something from his toolbox that I can learn from and then vice versa, so there’s a sharing of information that’s going on.

Feature Clips 2015

“Players like Trent, that are instinctual, that have really good anticipation and have athleticism to react naturally, you can always learn things about that. My thing is I can learn from the players as much as they can learn from me, so a player like Trent is kind of special in a sense where you can learn little bit, get a little more information about how he sees the world as opposed to just coming from a coach all the time, which is huge. … I’m just real fortunate to be around a player like that.”

Training camp represents the first on-field work that Callahan and Williams have had together because Williams spent the offseason receiving treatment to cure a lingering ankle injury. But because Williams attended every meeting and stood near Callahan during many of the practices, the lineman already has a good understanding of the concepts, and isn’t behind in his acclimation process.

As Callahan said, “He’s seen it before. He’s had enough reps.”

But that doesn’t mean that Callahan has taken it easy on Williams. The coach keeps all of the linemen late after the allotted time for practice has ended, using those minutes to correct errors.

“It’s just a matter of tweaking his game or maybe changing a different aspect or maybe bringing something to his attention that can make him a better player,” Callahan said.

But how exactly can Callahan help Williams take his game to another level?

“That’s a great question,” the coach said. “You are always striving to get better in your run blocking, your pass protection, trying to change up your set angles and change up your hand strikes — maybe where he puts his hands or how he’s striking with his hands, maybe it’s about countering and things of that nature when you are in close quarters blocking. So, all of those things, as a line coach and a lineman, we are always talking about. So the fans out there get an understanding of ‘Hey, there’s a lot of combative things that are transpiring.’ So, when you got master Joe Kim out there teaching the D- linemen all the moves, we’ve got to have the ability to counter all of that stuff, so that’s what we’ve been doing. We’ve been working hands this camp more than anything.”

The weighting game: Trent Williams loses 27 pounds, Niles Paul gains it, to gird for the season

By Liz Clarke The Washington Post Aug. 10, 2015

RICHMOND — With a late-season shoulder injury compounding a badly sprained ankle and knee, it was all Trent Williams could do to limp from one meeting room to the next last December at Redskins Park.

He was too banged up to practice; too battered to maintain his workout regimen. So it was no surprise, as the veteran left tackle devoted his work weeks to getting treatment and resting for the remaining games, that he started packing on extra weight.

Meanwhile, as yet another Redskins season lumbered to a losing finish, tight end Niles Paul was hauling in a career-high 39 receptions but getting pummeled by heavier defenders in the process.

So with opposite goals in mind, Williams and Paul vowed to re-sculpt their physiques in the offseason in hopes of staging sturdier, stronger performances in 2015.The 6-foot-5 Williams lost roughly 27 pounds, dropping from roughly 345 to 318.

Paul, a former wide receiver who stands 6 feet 1, added roughly 27 pounds, bulking up to 252.

Feature Clips 2015

And both did it in a smart, systematic way — with help from a team of experts — rather than the old-school NFL approach of gorging on food indiscriminately to add weight or jogging in plastic track suits to sweat off extraneous weight.

The results are stark enough for the average fan to notice at a distance. Redskins defenders charged with tackling or shedding blocks from them can surely tell. And both players say the dividends include more power, energy and confidence.

“I just feel quicker,” said Williams, 27, a three-time Pro Bowl honoree, in a recent interview at training camp. “My wind is at an all-time high. I’m stronger at the point of attack. I get to my spot faster. It just helps in every facet of the game.”

Said Paul, who was named the Redskins’ starting tight end, ahead of frequently injured Jordan Reed, for the first time since his fifth-round selection in the 2011 draft: “[Outside linebacker Ryan] Kerrigan used to treat me like a rag doll in practice. Wherever he wanted me to go, I went. And it’s not that way this year. I’m a lot more aggressive with him.”

However striking their physical transformations, neither Williams nor Paul is going to single-handedly turn a poor Redskins offense into a good one.

But assuming the players maintain their healthy habits long-term, the offseason work ought to pay dividends: Giving each a better chance of avoiding injury, quite possibly extending their NFL careers; and ideally, helping them shed unneeded pounds in retirement when morning golf games and afternoons on the couch replace football practices and game days.

In Williams’s case, the goal was to pare down without losing the explosiveness that has made him an elite left tackle.

“Every year I fine-tune my training and my preparation to be better. This year, my thing was to eat better,” Williams said.

So he consulted with Mike Clark, the Redskins’ new strength and conditioning coach, who had previously worked with Hall of Fame left tackle Walter Jones. In a 12-year career in Seattle, Jones surrendered just 23 sacks. Among Jones’s secrets, Clark told Williams, was that he shed four or five pounds each year toward the end of his NFL career to guard against excessive wear on his joints. The 6-5 Jones’s optimum playing weight was 325.

“The more weight you carry, every step you take is more pressure on the joints,” said Clark, explaining the correlation with injury. “The more weight you carry as the game goes on, the less reactive you are to the ground. You’re not as quick or explosive. It becomes harder, so you want to become lean.”

Williams then arranged a meeting with his personal dietician, Roberta Anding, the sports dietician for the Houston Astros and Rice University, and his personal chef, Tiffany Tisdale-Braxton. Anding laid out a roughly 2,600-calorie-a-day meal plan that included plenty of lean protein and vegetables, designed to get Williams safely to his goal. And Tisdale-Braxton, a former classmate of Williams’s at Oklahoma, tailored recipes and menus around the plan and started cooking full-time for Williams and one of his referrals, NFL running back Adrian Peterson, who also spends his offseason in Houston.

The first adjustment for Williams was eating breakfast, a meal he typically skipped because he is not a morning person.

“The more I looked into it, I realize that if you want to speed your metabolism up, you have to fuel your body,” Williams said. “Once I picked breakfast up, I noticed a spike in my energy level throughout the day, which enabled me to work out longer and harder.”

With Tisdale-Braxton handling the planning and cooking for three meals and two sizable daily snacks, it was easy, Williams said. The pounds fell off, but he never went hungry.

“One day I might have a couple boiled eggs, turkey bacon and fruit for breakfast,” Williams said. “One day it might be an egg-white omelet. She switched it up for me; made it convenient. Soon as I came out of my room, breakfast was ready. I’d Feature Clips 2015

eat breakfast, then I’d go work out. Come home, lunch would be ready. Eat lunch, then I do my second workout or whatever. Then I would come home and dinner would be ready.”

Said Tisdale-Braxton, whose business, Tisdale23 Catering, is named in honor of her late father, NBA star Wayman Tisdale: “Athletes are realizing that there are ways to maintain a larger muscle mass without putting terrible things in your body. You don’t have to be eating as much as you can eat. You can still eat a high calorie count but have it be healthy.”

Unlike Williams, Paul, 26, didn’t sign a six-year, $60 million NFL contract. Personal nutritionists and chefs aren’t in his budget. But he found the expertise he needed in bulking up without sacrificing speed at Redskins Park, where he worked closely with Clark on a new weight regimen and with the team’s chefs on healthier eating.

“My goal was to put on a little bit more weight so that I stood a fair chance against the bigger guys in the league, the bigger guys on our team, the defensive ends,” Paul said. “It had to be good weight.

Instead of skipping breakfast and eating one or two meals daily, Paul switched to three and four meals a day. He was also urged to eat as many healthy snacks, heavy in carbohydrates and protein, whenever he wanted and particularly after workouts.

“We told him not to get hungry, just to eat throughout the day — either a protein shake, a Greek yogurt,” Clark said. “When he’s getting ready to turn the lights out, eat the yogurt and go to bed.”

Under Clark’s direction, Paul shifted his focus to Olympic-style weightlifting, which focuses on building lower-body explosiveness or “BBH,” for short.

Clark explains: “I tell players all the time, ‘You should look better going than coming! Your back, butt and hamstrings better be really, really strong. BBH!”

In Paul’s case, he squatted 515 pounds last season. Now, he’s squatting 605.

“I feel stronger. I feel like a better player,” Paul said. “I feel like I’m not getting manhandled by the bigger guys anymore. I feel like I’m a true tight end.”

Fullback Darrel Young

For Darrel Young, a football life is all about giving back

By Alex Marvez FOX Sports Dec. 23, 2014

ASHBURN, Va. -- Darrel Young's best game of the season came last Saturday when he scored two touchdowns to help lead Washington's 27-24 home upset of Philadelphia.

However, it wasn't the fullback's best moment at FedEx Field in 2014.

Young had quietly decided to become a Big Brother last May to a 12-year-old who needed support while trying to overcome a family tragedy and hardscrabble upbringing. Temporarily living in a shelter is just one of the difficulties Xavier McDonald and his clan have faced.

Feature Clips 2015

The family was in a completely different world when watching a preseason contest against Cleveland from a luxury suite three months after Young came into their lives. His courtesy was more than repaid when Young saw the look on the face of Xavier's mother Areya France after the game.

"She was just so thankful," Young told FOX Sports last week at his apartment near Redskins Park. "She hugged me and was like, 'Wow! I never thought we'd be in a situation like this.'

"I was like, 'God does things for a reason. I'm in a situation where I can help you right now. In 15 years I might need you to return the favor when I'm done playing.'"

Xavier McDonald hopes he has forged his own NFL career by that time. Of course, odds are that this bespectacled, precocious seventh-grader who has his own physical dimensions memorized down to a tee — "4-foot-8 3/4 and 75.8 pounds" — will be watching the Redskins from a distance rather than playing for his favorite team.

But that dream is secondary. Another far more important wish already was realized when Young entered his life.

"I remember my (middle school) counselor telling me they were giving me a mentor," Xavier said. "They said, 'He likes football. He is African-American. And he plays for the Redskins.' When I heard that part, I kind of jumped out of fear because players are all big.

"The day before I was going to see him I was losing my mind. My mom and my grandma were telling me just to chill out, that he was just a normal person and you shouldn't think of him as a celebrity. It worked."

The two usually meet up twice a week based upon Young's football schedule. They communicate via phone or text every day and will continue doing so once Young leaves town when the NFL season ends.

Through Young, Xavier has experienced things he wouldn't have otherwise. Besides that preseason trip to a Redskins game, Xavier was treated to floor seats for a recent NBA game where Washington Wizards forward Nene tumbled into his lap. He attended a car show. He ate at a fancy steakhouse and saw chefs put on a show preparing his meal at Benihana. Xavier even got to meet his idol: Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Those are some of the perks Young can provide, but they don't form the crux of their relationship.

"At first he was a little shy like, 'I can't believe this is a Redskins player,'" Young said. "So we went to Chipotle and I told him, 'Just tell me about you. Be open with me. I'm not a Redskins player anymore. I'm your big brother. Talk to me now. Tell me about school. What's going on?'

"He said, 'I'm angry all the time and I don't know why.' I said, 'That's why God sent me here.'"

Xavier's rage was being fueled by heartbreak from five years earlier and the financial struggles suffered by his family.

Areya and Kevin McDonald never married and had gone their separate ways after Xavier was born. As Xavier progressed through elementary school, Kevin wanted to become part of his life.

Areya was reluctant because she says Kevin had a troubled past, but eventually agreed to let the two begin speaking by phone. A bond was formed over an 18-month period. Xavier and Kevin finally were set to meet in person.

It never happened. Kevin McDonald died in a July 4, 2009 motorcycle accident just days before he was to meet his son. He was 28 years old.

"A whole year-and-a-half of working on a relationship was torn away," Areya said. "That where Xavier's heartache comes in." Feature Clips 2015

Xavier's sullenness and mood swings weren't helped by an unstable living situation. Areya has admirably tried to provide for Xavier and his two younger siblings working as a hairdresser. While staying with her mother in Baltimore, Areya said she would drive more than an hour into Northern Virginia in a car with a cracked windshield that lacked air conditioning and heat in order to get Xavier better schooling.

When living on their own again, Areya said a dispute with her landlord about who would foot the bill for necessary repairs temporarily forced her family into a shelter. The experience left a mark on Xavier that touched the 27-year-old Young when the two first met.

"He said, 'I can't wait to help my mom,'" Young said. "I heard that and was like, 'You're 12, man. What are you talking about?' He just said, 'I'm tired of living in and out of shelters all the time. I hate rats. I hate not being able to wash my clothes when I want to.'

"Now, things have gotten better for them. But hearing that and how smart he was, I was like, 'This kid shouldn't be in this situation mentally. I'm going to try and make it better for him.'"

Helping others is nothing new for Young. He began getting involved in community service and charity appearances while playing at Villanova, but he has taken it to a much higher level with the Redskins.

Young initially didn't stick on Washington's roster as a rookie linebacker in 2009. After spending most of that season working at Foot Locker hoping for another NFL chance, Young re-signed with the Redskins in January 2010 and subsequently was converted to fullback by incoming head coach Mike Shanahan.

The transition worked. Young has become a key cog as both a blocker and short-yardage rusher. He tied the franchise's single-game record for touchdowns by scoring three last season in an overtime win over San Diego (the game ball is proudly on display in Young's dining room). He is a core special-teams player.

But to Allie Pisching, Young is even more valuable off the field. He has participated in a whopping 34 community events of all varieties in 2014.

"We put up a list each week of all the opportunities in the community outside the locker room and I think it's Darrel's personal mission to be the first one to sign up for every single event," said Pisching, who is the manager for the franchise's community and charitable programs. "I don't even think he reads what it is. He just wants to be there and give back."

And to think that in his early days with the franchise, Young was forced to wear a Redskins polo shirt to gatherings because he didn't have a customized jersey.

Young's reason for such heavy involvement and his encouragement of teammates to do the same is simple.

"I was always in the community but then I started to realize I was impacting some lives," Young said. "I then asked myself, 'Why aren't I doing this every week?' I always tell myself how bored I am here in Ashburn on my off-days. Why not just go out there and have some fun with the kids or military? Doing stuff like that has changed me."

Young has a particular interest in military-themed community service because his brother is a sergeant with more than 16 years of service in the Army. The fact that David Young Jr. and his family frequently move because of deployment led to Darrel inquiring about the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program.

"I have a niece and nephew and I'm not able to be around them too much," Darrel said. "I also know there are kids who are less fortunate with what they have. I thought, 'What am I doing that's so important that I can't impact a life?'"

Pisching contacted the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters chapter on Young's behalf last fall to begin the process. A lengthy vetting process followed that included a national background check, psychological evaluation, and personal and professional references.

After no red flags were found, Young was cleared and set to meet with a handful of potential candidates for mentoring. Young initially was looking for an older "little brother," but the bond with Xavier took hold immediately.

"We target kids who are facing adversity and struggling," said John Sanchez, the National Capital Area Big Brothers/Big Sisters executive director of program services. "Every child has potential. You just have to find the right mentor. With what we know about the child, we try to introduce the right person.

"We don't have many NFL players as Big Brothers because of their schedule and how busy they are. But we've been very impressed with what Darrel has done with Xavier. He has improved his grades in school and his self-confidence."

Young notices a difference in the way Xavier is "interacting with people. He's always been a nice kid but now he's more open with things."

Xavier is smiling a lot more, too.

"It's helped my anger management," he said.

The Redskins recently named Young their 2014 Walter Payton Man of the Year, given annually "to recognize a player's community service and volunteer efforts as well as his excellence on the field." Young now is eligible for the league-wide award presented in January at the Super Bowl.

Young makes it clear that his service isn't driven by trying to win this honor, but it was special to him for two reasons. The first is that the late Payton was his mother's favorite player. Darrel wore No. 34 as a high school running back in Amityville, NY, and she cried on the phone when he told her about the award.

The second relates to the negative impact that off-field incidents involving Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson have made on the image of NFL players.

"Obviously, there are a lot of things going on with domestic violence where two people have basically put a name on the NFL for it. It sucks," Young said. "But there are a lot of good guys out there who do good things. The J.J. Watts and Russell Wilsons who visit hospitals.

"That's what you want to be known for. You don't want to be known for a guy who's basically an a-hole."

Young was speaking while sprawled on a massage table having the kinks worked out of his body. He has experienced better days.

Young and the Redskins took a beating less than 24 hours earlier against the New York Giants, marking the team's sixth straight loss. Speculation abounds about whether Griffin and first-year head coach Jay Gruden will be back next season. Young will be peppered with questions about this during a paid weekly Monday night television appearance that requires him to use every ounce of knowledge about politically correct answers that he learned while completing a communications degree at Villanova.

But Young finds a way to make the best out of the situation. He decides to take Xavier along for the 45-minute ride to the television station. Xavier even gets to make an on-air cameo that the two laugh about.

"These two really are like family," Areya France said.
