RG3 Report | Washington Examiner
A better day for Robert Griffin III this week than from when we saw him a week ago. But you always have to keep in mind that the coaches are working on different things each practice.

Redskins Park: Quotes - Mike Shanahan, Robert Griffin

On what Secondary Coach Raheem Morris will bring to the secondary this year: "Well scheme wise, anytime you bring in a coach, there’s always different ideas. You know, Raheem’s been in four-man fronts for about most of his career, some of the best. You take a look at Tampa Bay and you take a look at the coaching staff that they had from Monte Kiffin, to obviously Raheem, to Mike Tomlin. Their four-man front was probably as good as there has been for a lot of years, the last 10-15 years. He brings a lot of ideas from what he’s done in the past to what we’re doing now. There’s always different ideas that you toss around. But basically we have our same scheme, and he does a heck of a job coaching and getting the best out of players."

I’ve been a part of going away to training camp a couple times, and it’s a lot different. It’s a lot different than getting out of your own bed."
