Redskins say special teams struggles are about 'effort' | Comcast SportsNet Washington
Paul trembled as he spoke because he was so upset. "It’s almost heartbreaking," he said. "I’m not a starter on this team. My role is largely on special teams. So I take pride in what I do on special teams. People complain and say it’s a coaching thing. But it’s not a coaching thing, it’s an effort thing. It’s for each player, each individual, 11 people out there to have to want to make a tackle, to have to want to make a play, to have to want to make a block. And that’s not happening right now. And that’s why we are terrible on special teams."

Why it is a good thing Mike Shanahan isn't fired (Yet)? | Fanspeak.com

After another embarrassing loss it is easy to call for Mike Shanahan's head (and the entire coaching staff) and hold him accountable by handing him his walking papers. It would be completely well deserved and most of the fan base would likely support such a move. Not firing Shanahan though seems to be the call, and it is probably the better decision for the Redskins brass. Now don't get me wrong, Mike Shanahan deserves to be fired 5 minutes after the end of the Giants game in Week 17, but firing him now would probably do more harm than good for this team.

RG3: ‘It’s not what the game’s about’ | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

"Can I defend Dan Snyder for a moment?" Sanders asked on NFL Network Sunday night. "Because I know him, and Dan is a good dude. The Dan Snyder I know [does] not meddle in what’s going on with his team and his franchise and with the quarterback. He befriends his players, and they are crazy about him. I’ve never seen a player say anything derogatory about Dan Snyder. So let’s get that straight. And how did this report just come out? It happened, what, last year? And a year later, now you want to bring this mess up? I don’t know if there’s any validity to that."

Griffin understood reasons for Shanahan putting in Cousins
"It was tough," Griffin said. "I understood. You don’t fight that. As a competitor, you don’t care what’s going on on the field or what the score is of the game. You want to finish the game with your guys. That was tough, but I understood. You still have to sit there and do everything you can to help Kirk Cousins [go] out there to perform, move the ball and score. I thought I would try to do that effectively."
