Live from Tahoe: Former Redskins QB Mark Rypien thinks fan pressure will only help RG3 - NFL.com
Rypien just wants this year’s team to follow in the footsteps of his team. "They’re gonna have to uphold a standard that was very high when I played. It was high," Rypien said. "Anything other than going deep into the playoffs was unacceptable. That’s the standard they need to get back to. These younger players need to feel that. Once they feel that and become engulfed in that, you actually rise to the occasion and good things often happen. If they can get back to that and allow that to happen, they’ll have success."

The Redskins Blog | LeRibeus Talks No School, Seafood
"I can go an entire day, from six in the morning to six at night as long as it’s football, lifting, working out, running on the field — you know, learning, watching film. What I can’t do from six to six is having to study there in the middle, you know, just class. I can do football all day long."

Why Jarvis Jenkins Could be the Key for the Defense’s Success? | Fanspeak Washington Redskins Blog
Given a tougher schedule this year , the Redskins will need their defense to step up their game this year and become a complete unit. Like last year the Redskins linebackers are unquestionably the strength of the defense, while the secondary is the weakest point. The defensive line lays somewhere inbetween, and while improvement from Stephen Bowen and Barry Cofield, the key to the line and whether or not it becomes an undeniable strength of Redskins could very well be 2011 2nd round pick Jarvis Jenkins, who missed all of last season with an injury.

Matt Barkley believes he would have been taken before RG3 | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports
Again, Barkley had a great season, and this is nothing against him, but it's hard to see that happening. Not only did Griffin show the kind of athleticism rarely seen on a football field, but he also displayed an absolutely sick combination of accuracy, efficiency and arm strength. In 2011, Griffin put together a great little statistical twosome for the Baylor Bears: he led the nation in yards per attempt with 10.7, and completed 72.4 percent of his passes. NFL teams treasure such a combination above just about everything else. We put RG3 at the top of this year's Shutdown 50, and I don't think there's any doubt that had Andrew Luck not been so amazingly prepared for the NFL, Griffin could well have been the first overall pick. Griffin just does things on a different level.

July 18, 1997: Gargantuan DT Refuses to Report to Camp | Redskin Historian
On July 18, 1997, the Redskins opened training camp without a gargantuan member of their defense, talented 6-5, 320-pound tackle Sean Gilbert. He and the Redskins were in a bitter contract dispute. The Redskins were offering $4 million per season, while Gilbert at one point wanted $5 million. Gilbert’s agent said his client’s demand was based on a "revelation from God." No deal was reached, the Redskins designated Gilbert as their "franchise" player, preventing him from signing elsewhere, and he sat out the `97 season.
