The Reds camp, close to full strength





It’s As the Washington Redskins tidy up mobile truck escape from training camp in Richmond, Va. In the first year of coach Jay Gruden, maintain a positive, with a wink grin suggested of the locals." There is no road outside a complaint is a bit bumpy road. We must repair the roads in Richmond, cow," Jay Gruden said. "I'm stiff neck ride in the car. In addition, man, this is a great experience, and these guys really things." Jay Gruden and team President and general manager Bruce Allen pointed out that to improve the team chemistry as a complete mission. "I never want a media circus or anything like that," Gruden said. "I don't know what happened last year, I wasn't here. I think it was pretty smooth. I think everybody's on the same page as far as what we're talking about, what we're doing on the field. There's no hidden agendas I don't think. Hopefully that remains consistent throughout the season, not just in training camp. So moving forward, hopefully we can stay in that train of thought and mentality." Allen said Gruden brought the energy and "focus on today" mantra that made for a smoother ride in camp. Last year, coach Mike Shanahan, spent a lot of time with the media to discuss Robert Griffin lll’s recovering from knee surgery and handling his January 2013 in Seattle Seahawks playoff loss to the damage.
This summer, Gruden can maximize the novelty of the new regime. "I think Jay Chou is a very good job, he and his staff to build up friendship," Allen said. "What we do. Now have plenty of competition, in the football team and patriot, in their work, we want to push us this season. I don't think there is any question, we got better camp. The key is to ensure that we keep getting better and better when we get back to the Redskins Park. "The next global's allegations and Cleveland Brown appointment on Monday night. "We haven't looked at the Cleveland. However, this will be an exciting event, Monday night football," Gruden said. "My brother came, of course, it would have been interesting, and Johnny football. But actually, I want to make it more people how we perform for us, how we under the lights out, excited, and show them what we can do. "Global says changes in the team this week to eliminate the night meeting, the meeting Allen described as "intense" the meeting of the position of the group global daily improvement plan.

Washington Redskins will head to their first training camp workout in Richmond





Washington Redskins After some changes at the top, the Washington Redskins will head to their first training camp workout in Richmond, Va. Washington Redskins on July 24 with plenty to prove. Last year's 3-13 nosedive after a 10-6 record in 2012 led to the dismissal of head coach Mike Shanahan and his son and offensive coordinator Kyle. Washington Redskins Taking their places are Jay Gruden as head coach and Sean McVay as offensive coordinator and they have no prior experience in those respective roles. Washington Redskins Their most conspicuous challenge will be to restore quarterback Robert Griffin III to star status. Heading into camp, Washington Redskins he certainly is the player with the most to prove. Two years ago, the 2011 Heisman Trophy winner/second overall pick in the 2012 draft set rookie quarterback records for passer rating and rushing yards and electrified Washington fans while leading the Redskins to a 10-6 record and their first NFC East title in 13 years. Washington Redskins That season ended with a playoff loss to Seattle in which Griffin tore his right ACL and MCL. Griffin missed the entire offseason, but pushed to be on the field for training camp and to start the season opener after being held out of all four preseason games. He wore a brace to protect his knee for all of 2013 and was never the same dynamic performer that he had been in 2012 before being benched for the final three games by Mike Shanahan to supposedly prevent further hits in a lost season in which Washington would finish 3-13. With his knee healthy and the Shanahans gone, Griffin needs to show that he is more like the dazzling performer he was in 2012 than the lackluster player he was in 2013, or his future and that of the Redskins will be in jeopardy. Washington Redskins Here are other key issues Gruden must address in his first NFL training camp as a head coach: London Fletcher retired after starting every game the past seven seasons while making four Pro Bowls, calling the defensive signals and serving as a captain. Washington Redskins Washington signed free agents Akeem Jordan (98 games, 44 starts), Darryl Sharpton (42 games, 19 starts) and Adam Hayward (107 games, 13 starts), but the leading candidate appears to be Keenan Robinson, Washington Redskins a fourth-round pick out of Texas in 2012. Robinson's rookie year ended with a torn pec on Thanksgiving at Dallas and he missed all of 2013 with a similar injury suffered before preseason began. Washington Redskins However, Robinson spent more time working with the starters in minicamp than any of the newcomers. Washington Redskins The Redskins signed veteran Ryan Clark, which should help at free safety. Washington Redskins And Brandon Meriweather can still play, especially at strong safety, Washington Redskins when he's not costing his team 15 yards or getting suspended. But it's slim pickings after that. Bacarri Rambo struggled as a rookie and has a lot to prove. Washington Redskins Phillip Thomas sustained a Lisfranc injury to his left foot during training camp and that cost him a valuable development season. Washington Redskins The Redskins did not draft a safety, Washington Redskins but cornerback Bashaud Breeland, a fourth-round selection, is versatile enough to move to safety, Washington Redskins.
