Here’s a look at the Redskins’ minicamp, in One-Liner fashion . . . .
Defensive coordinator Greg Blache told reporters, “Going to get my prostate checked or doing this? I think I’d [take] two prostate exams to one press conference.”
Blache says he simplified the playbook because, “We are trying to be a hard, physical defense that’s intimidating with our speed and hitting ability, and you can’t do that when you’re thinking about 20,000 different things.”
Special teams coach Danny Smith is looking forward to competition at punter.
Smith also says he thinks skill at directional punting and pooch punting is more important than having a strong leg.
Coach Jim Zorn brought in his former teammate, Hall of Famer Steve Largent, to address the wide receivers.
After CB Shawn Springs intercepted a pass, lateraled the ball to Fred Smoot and watched Smoot knock the ball around like a volleyball, Zorn yelled, “Don’t do that! Don’t mess around like that! You get the ball, you keep it!”
Rookie WR Devin Thomas missed practice to attend his grandmother’s funeral.
The Redskins hope the rookie class bolsters the red zone offense.
T Jon Jansen calls himself “as close to 100 percent as I can be this time of year.”
Says DE Phillip Daniels, “If we can stop teams with our base defenses, we’re not going to blitz.”

Good to see that Zorn already knows Smoot is by far the biggest bitch on the team.

Whats, “As close to 100% as I can be”, before minicamp even starts? Did he get hurt last year or something?

yeah he (jon jansen) got legwhipped and got a pretty nasty injury. I want to say it was a broken ankle/leg combo but i cant say for sure.
Interesting that malcolm kelly made it through the first couple days of training camp without throwing anyone under the bus or making complaints about the playing surface.

Looks like the Redskins are going to be blitzing a lot next year.

Greg Blache is not Gregg Williams. And it’s not just the prostate thing. That D is gonna take a slide this year.
