Likely the additions of Muckelroy and Kehl will allow the Redskins to utilize Lorenzo Alexander more as a blitzer from here on out.

"They're still a few pieces away whether it be defensively or wherever they are missing some pieces. But I think they've definitely -- they've got to be in the conversation. They've got a good team, they play good football, they hold the ball for a long time, and they really do some good things. So I definitely put them in that conversation, for sure."

I wouldn’t necessarily call him the most vocal guy in the world, but he’s going to go out there and handle his business. He goes out there and leads by example."

"I’m going to remember both. RGIII’s going to come first, obviously, because that’s what they’re going to ask me about, but when my grandson scrapes his knee, I’ll tell him about the guy who played with a broken arm."

"I believe in myself," Morris said. "My work ethic is ridiculous. Me, just as a person, I know what I’m capable of doing. I chose the path less traveled. Not many people could have chose the path to go to [Florida Atlantic] and be able to come into the NFL and do what I’ve done. Nothing I’ve ever gotten on my path was given — I’ve earned everything. And I know how to go out there and earn it, set goals and attain my goals. Just my sheer work ethic and my heart — you can’t measure a man’s heart, and I have a whole lot of heart."

No stranger to late season runs, Giants’ Coughlin not counting Redskins out
The Redskins believe that they have a chance to become only the fourth team since 1990 to make the playoffs after opening the year with a 3-6 record. The most recent team to pull off such a feat?

Jacksonville won six of their last seven regular season games to finish the year 9-7 and then went on to reach the AFC Championship before falling to New England.

Players cracked jokes about it Thursday, a day after Bears star receiver Brandon Marshall said he had heard that some players were using Viagra and hoping it would give them an advantage during games. Punch lines aside, experts say it’s unlikely the erectile-dysfunction drug would help. "What would that do? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard," Minnesota Vikings long snapper Cullen Loeffler said.

DeAngelo Hall with Brian Orakpo
"I was always taught to let the offense end the game," he said. "So I didn’t need to go back out there. We already gave up 400-some yards passing. I didn’t need no more yards thrown up on us. Then I got to run down on kickoff? Nah. Let’s just go ahead, take a knee, end it, let RG keep the game ball. I should have just caught it and took a knee, but it happened so fast. It kind of bounced in my hands, I was almost running away not to get hit. Before you know it, I was at the 1 [yard-line], and had to slide down real quick."
