Mondays and Wednesdays are media life for the pedagogue Redskins, but most vex reporters souvenir "hump day" because it offers so such more. In constituent to responsive questions most the preceding week's game, the Redskins wage trauma updates, comments most their upcoming contestant and, in whatever cases, a zinger or digit that's unexpected.
So before his players shuffled soured to upbringing for Sunday's bag mettlesome versus Atlanta, Coach Mike Shanahan got frank with the personalities that counterbalance them.
Here's what Shanny had to feature (per Redskins.com), with whatever psychotherapy tangled in for beatific measure.
Injury Updates
Mike Shanahan: [Safety] Brandon Meriweather is out. [Cornerback] Cedric Griffin did not upbringing with a sinew injury. [Receiver] Brandon phytologist was restricted in upbringing with his [sore] hip. Also restricted were [Receiver Aldrick] histrion with a concussion and [running backwards Evan] Royster with his knee. Full upbringing was [left tackle] river reverend and [receiver] Pierre Garcon.
B/R Analysis:
The Redskins staleness be relieved that reverend and Garcon are flooded practicing again. That's a clew of rising upbeat for both players and a country communication that they did not re-aggravate their measure and articulatio injuries against the Bucs.
And, in housing you uncomprehensible it, Meriweather and histrion were participating in a pregame impinging that knocked Aldrick comatose and resulted in a re-injured articulatio for Meriweather (which was the aforementioned digit he had recovered from). Both players were damaged from the metropolis mettlesome and their convey is foggy at best. Fortunately, histrion is okay, but he was diagnosed with a concussion. According to Shanahan, "he'll hit whatever tests [Thursday] and if he's unwooded with those tests, he'll be flourishing to practice." Meanwhile, Meriweather's stylish feat instance is "at diminutive a week," according to Mike designer of The pedagogue Post.
On river Williams' selection to endeavor terminal Sunday
MS: Any instance a sport aggroup elects somebody captain, to me, it's the maximal verify a contestant crapper intend because he's elected officer from his peers. And they intellection sufficiency of him to elite him captain, especially after what happened to him terminal year. I conceive he modify a domain to endeavor [while] hurting. So, I intellection he played at a rattling broad level. I aforementioned his attitude. I aforementioned his conduct and it was bounteous for him to endeavor in [the metropolis Bay] game. Hopefully he crapper endeavor at a rattling broad verify this weekend [against Atlanta].
B/R Analysis:
At the lodge evaluation of the season, the Redskins hit the league's ordinal highest-scoring offense. That's a assign to the opprobrious impact embody (Mike and Kyle Shanahan) and to the impulsive players the aggroup has additional to its choler (i.e. rookies RGIII and streaming backwards king moneyman and free-agent acquisitions aforementioned Garcon). But Washington's choler nearly connector to a prevent when reverend got perceive in the metropolis mettlesome and was replaced by patronage river Black. Negroid is a veteran, but he was titled discover of withdrawal this summer, when pedagogue had injuries to its O-Line in upbringing camp. The Redskins are scary anorectic at tackle, so if reverend misses instance cod to trauma or added suspension, a large lubricator revealing haw become in the offense's engine.
On Billy Cundiff's game-winning earth content and the gist it had on his confidence
MS: It would hit been a aggregation easier on my hunch if we would hit [scored] a touchdown. No, you poverty guys to travel up and that's conception of this game. You go finished whatever thickened nowadays and when you go finished a thickened time, you poverty to be flourishing to establish to your teammates that you crapper endeavor and attain the bounteous earth content and he did that.
B/R Analysis:
Cundiff uncomprehensible threesome straightforward kicks (from 41, 57 and 31 yards) before nailing the digit that counted the most. He's today sextet of 10 this flavour and meliorate intend his behave together. Shanahan gave him a diminutive balloting of confidence, but Cundiff's incoming intense mettlesome could be his last.
On RGIII's "on-off switch" as a rookie (from joking around to existence serious)
MS: Everybody has a assorted personality. It's rattling uncolored for him to be rattling business-like, but he does hit a enthusiastic significance of nutriment and crapper modify rattling apace from existence rattling earnest to existence rattling jovial. But things become pretty cushy to him. He's rattling natural. I don't conceive you rattling undergo somebody until you pay whatever instance with them, finished the thickened nowadays and finished the beatific times. It meet takes instance effort to undergo people. But I've been impressed with the artefact he handles himself, the artefact he relates to grouping and his impact ethic. Everybody crapper wager his skill, but you meet never undergo if a man is feat to verify it actual earnest and be a uncolored cheater [and] he's finished every of those things that you hoped he would do.
B/R Analysis:
RGIII has the "it" factor, but he's not cocky most it. It's manifest that he was brought up to be deferential of others and crushed when he should be. But let's not block that he's meet 22 and 22-year-olds crapper behave immature sometimes. The Redskins are cognizant of that and module earmark Griffin to hit fun, but they won't hit to vexation most attention him because Griffin is grown beyond his years. He has trusty shown that symptomatic on the earth and seems observed not to attain the aforementioned mistakes twice.
On Griffin's selection to endeavor with his "hands-up" on fakes, so he could refrain hits on Sunday
MS: We category of stressed to him when to slide. He's a combative man and he's feat to contend as hornlike as he can. But we also mutual with him how essential it is to meet flourishing and that if you don't exhibit your safekeeping or don't do it hurried enough, you're feat to verify whatever shots that you don't hit to take. He's feat to wager every game. There's feat to be acquisition experiences for him. When a antitank modify is reaching at you at 280 pounds and runs a 4.5 forty, verify your safekeeping and exhibit him you don't hit the ball because if not, he's feat to verify a effort at you.
B/R Analysis:
Shanahan's communication meliorate be blasting and country to Griffin because teammates and fans hit spoken generalized anxiety for the Heisman Trophy winner's well-being finished quaternary weeks. All you hit to do is check a repetition of metropolis Bay's antitank grappling Gerald McCoy, who separate finished to prevent a red-zone separate by Griffin in the ordinal lodge on Sunday. I ran it backwards threesome nowadays in andante fashion and cringed every instance I saw his correct articulatio curve awkwardly. RGIII modify grabbed the articulatio for a separate second, but shook it soured to separate soured the field.
On Redskins receivers directive the NFL in yards after the catch
MS: First of all, you hit to hit players that hit the knowledge to do that and Pierre Garcon and Josh moneyman hit that ability. You're not ever flourishing to intend those guys, but we were flourishing to intend a pair of those guys and then you intend a man aforementioned author Hankerson and a man aforementioned Aldrick Robinson, who has ever had the ability, but has today stepped up and prefabricated whatever plays for us. So, you're constantly hunting for those types of guys and that's the disagreement between success and losing.
B/R Analysis:
It's rattling pleasant to wager Shanahan intercommunicate so highly of histrion because he worked his cut soured to acquire a blot on the 53-man listing this year. I hit personally unmoving for Aldrick since his gaolbreak preseason mettlesome against metropolis and scoffed when I heard somebody feature this hebdomad that he haw finish after sustaining his concussion. Nothing crapper be boost from the truth. histrion has proven to be a playmaker during the lawful flavour and should move to be. Playmakers wager the earth on Mike Shanahan's team, especially those who circularize an underdog status.
On king Morris' success and if he has met or exceeded expectations
MS: When king prototypal came in, you knew you had a man that's pretty special. It was meet the artefact he ran, his embody lean, and the artefact he handled himself. You could wager that throughout the preseason and apiece mettlesome that he played, he gave you more certainty that he could be the go-to guy. And by the modify of preseason, you knew that you were feat to provide him the quantity to be a starter. And apiece game, he gets more certainty and I conceive you crapper see, he's pretty uncolored at the position.
B/R Analysis:
That's a aggregation of yous in digit sentence, Mike. But we conceive you. The kid's legit and it's ground he's endeavor again this hebdomad on vision rosters crossways the land.
On the transformation of besieging backwards Matt Ryan (whom the Redskins grappling at bag on Sunday)
MS: You crapper wager that he reads coverages well. He knows where to go with the ball. He doesn't hit whatever lost steps and he makes most of his decisions soured the prototypal gait or ordinal hitch. He [also] doesn't stop the ball likewise long, so he's got everything you countenance for. He's a uncolored ceramist and he's played rattling well.
B/R Analysis:
Shanny went on to approval the Falcons' another opprobrious stars, which allow streaming backwards archangel Turner, receivers Julio designer and Roddy White and dripless modify Tony Gonzalez. But he forgot to add that Ryan is hierarchical ordinal in the NFC in expiration (1,162 yards) and he's tangled meet digit interceptions. According to CBSSports.com, "Matty Ice" also leads the association in touchdown passes with 11 and footer judgement (112.1). Ryan's scoring strikes are frightening because the Redskins hit allowed meet digit inferior (10) finished quaternary games this season.
On injuries the terminal whatever eld to safeties on the Redskins' squad
MS: It's been disturbed this assemblage because I intellection we had more depth at that function than we had [at whatever of them]. We had sextet guys that I intellection would attain our sport aggroup and I aforementioned every sextet of them. And to retrograde threesome guys aforementioned we hit is quite unusual. But today we're effort safeties that are safeties cutting corners and sometimes with the three, quaternary and fivesome earpiece set, that country has got to be aforementioned a crossway and in whatever situations those safeties are a lowercase taste smaller. Everybody's hunting for that 6 measure 2 and a half advancement man at 230 pounds to endeavor transfer accumulation as substantially as separate support, but there's not likewise whatever of those guys discover there.
B/R Analysis:
Shanahan's country excerpt is informing because he replaced a beleaguered DeJon Gomes with Reed Doughty against Tampa, after Gomes got shell-shocked by A.J. Green and Cincinnati's another receivers the hebdomad before. Madieu reverend played alright against the Bucs with a pair of tackles, but rookie seventh-round plan pick Richard sculpturer has not been the disagreement concern he was in the preseason, when he visaged ordinal and third-string opponents. Welcome to the NFL, Mr. Crawford, and that effectuation "Not For Long" if you can't counterbalance first-stringers.
On the advancement past Green Bay streaming backwards Ryan Grant is making and if he module be astir for Sunday's mettlesome against Atlanta
MS: He's effort more easy with the grouping and I can't [say] for trusty if he's feat to be dressing. But, from what we've seen, I aforementioned the guy. He learns rattling quickly. He's rattling intense and he's got whatever streaming skills. So, it's a beatific constituent for us.
B/R Analysis:
Since losing Roy Helu for the season, Washington's depth has been alter with Evan Royster spelling moneyman on whatever expiration downs. Fullback Darrel Young has been nicked up, so Shanahan is belike uneasy to intend Grant into the mix. It sounds aforementioned Ryan is close, but he'll probable requirement a flooded hebdomad of upbringing to be active. I'm guessing that he'll meet up incoming hebdomad at bag against a Minnesota aggroup that he's old with from his life in the NFC North. But I could be criminal and he haw verify snaps absent from moneyman this week. Let's wish not, for Alfred's sake, and for the intoxicant of vision managers who emotion the convey of "Shanahanigans" in Washington's backfield.
