"We’ve got a team that’s pretty accountable," he said. "We’ve got guys that are really working hard. We had almost every one of our guys come in excellent shape to our preseason this year.

Redskins Middle Man: Barry Cofield | Fanspeak Washington Redskins Blog
The Redskins linebacking corps may be the heart and soul of their defense, but their success level is completely dependent on the line in front of them.

Young: Shanny wanted to keep throwing in Super Bowl rout - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins
In Washington, we haven’t yet seen what Mike Shanahan would do if he had the chance to run up the score on another team. Most of the 11 wins in his two seasons have been decided either in the final seconds or in overtime. The need for Shanahan to decide if he should sit on the ball or continue to pile up points has not come up. That has not always been the case. He was the offensive coordinator for the 49ers in their 49-24 pasting of the Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX. During that game, Steve Young threw a Super Bowl record six touchdown passes

Aqib Talib's court case dismissed, Tampa Bay Buccaneers can breathe easy - Bucs Nation
With Talib's legal issues resolved, it's also possible that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to trade the supremely talented cornerback in the final year of his contract, if they aren't willing to keep him for the long term. This would leave the team with a massive short-term hole at cornerback, but they would at least get some return for Talib. The Washington Redskins would be a natural fit, as former Bucs head coach Raheem Morris is their defensive backs coach. In addition, Bruce Allen is the Redskins' general manager, and he originally drafted Aqib Talib in the first round of the 2008 NFL draft.
