April 7, 2020 Head Coach Ron Rivera Opening statement: “Just real quick, guys. Before we get started, I just want to make sure that everybody understands that we send our best wishes to Bobby Mitchell’s family. He was a guy that was a tremendous force in this league. Pretty much a trendsetter and pretty much a guy that really helped break boundaries. He was one of those iconic players. Just so everybody knows, we’re sending our prayers and thoughts to his family.” On T Trent Williams: “For the most part guys, it’s one of those situations where we’ve started the process, and during this process, we’ve had several conversations with both Trent and his agent. Being respectful in this situation, we’re not going to really get into details about that for the most part. We are still trying to do that. And again, we’re not quite sure what’s going to happen at the end of the line. He is a player under contract. He is a Washington Redskin, and we’re going to leave it at that and just...

April 1, 2020 CB Kendall Fuller On why he wanted to return to Washington: “Just so many reasons, you can see so many guys have qualities about perseverance. The coaching staff here, their relationship with the players, seeing how they develop guys, and seeing how the corners that they had coming in [in Carolina], [James] Bradberry, Donte Jackson and things like that. Being in the NFL the last couple of years and just being at a place that’s home, that I’ve had some success, that I’ve enjoyed, the first few years I was in Washington. Just the young core players that they have there on offense and defensive side of the ball. You know when you’re a DB and you’re looking at the front seven, you know how important that is for you and you’re success it’s the guys at the front seven that they have up there, that kind of builds to be a part of. Once they called, and my agent talked to me I couldn’t wait to jump on it.” On the difference between now and his first stint in Washington...

March 31, 2020 LB Thomas Davis Sr. On reuniting with Coach Ron Rivera: “It’s definitely going to be exciting reuniting with Coach Rivera, I understand how he likes to operate, how he likes to do things and what he expects of us as players. It’s definitely going to be an exciting time, being back on the East Coast. A lot of people are saying, hey, you’re going to be right back in the system that you’re familiar with but at the same time, it’s Jack Del Rio’s defense, so there’s going to be a learning curve and it’s something that we are all going to have to go through as defensive players. We’re excited about it, I know I am, and I’m pretty sure the other guys are as well.” On his motivation for coming to Washington: “I think one of the biggest things, first and foremost, was the fact that Coach Rivera was there and when I look at this roster. I feel like the pieces are in place to be successful. When you look at in particularly defense, you look at the front four that these...

I was part of a project a couple years ago called '3 Good Things'. The idea was, for participants to take a minute every night before going to bed and think about 3 good things they'd experienced that day. They could be big things or small, personal or work-related. There is a lot of research out there that building this into one's day has a real effect. People report being happier, less stressed, and more satisfied with their life when they incorporate it into their day. This is a scary, hard time. I've been mostly alone for almost 6 weeks which is not conducive to positive thoughts, I can assure you - my wife is up north helping take care of my daughter and her 4 month old as my daughter's husband is overseas. I'm going to do this a little differently. Instead of doing my '3 good things' by myself, I'm going to post them here. If you want to join in - feel free. Today's 3 good things: 1) I had an unexpected day off today. Since I work in healthcare, I have to be honest...

The Redskins are acquiring Panthers 2nd year QB Kyle Allen in a trade that will send the Redskins 2020 5th round pick to Carolina. Allen started 12 games for the Panthers in 2019, racking up 3322 yds while completing 62% of his passes. Allen threw for 17 TDs, while rushing for almost 400 yds. Allen did throw 16 interceptions but was under duress on nearly every passing down behind an offensive line that allowed him to be sacked 46 times. He is a very talented young QB who knows Turners offense. Haskins is still the presumed starter but have no doubt Allen will press him considerably.
