Jarvis Jenkins, Rob Jackson about to start serving suspensions
"I’ve already talked to them about the message," Shanahan said Tuesday. "I think the message is very obvious. After Saturday evening, we cannot talk to them until they come back.

And the only way they are going to do that is if they do the little things over the next four weeks."

Haslett taking advantage of improved pass-rusher depth
Rather than the alignment of two defensive linemen and two outside linebackers and two inside linebackers as he often has in his nickel packages, Haslett had linebacker Ryan Kerrigan and Darryl Tapp lined up in three-point stances, almost as defensive tackles, and had Brian Orakpo and Brandon Jenkins at their outside linebacker positions, and London Fletcher and Perry Riley as inside linebackers as always.

Helu has secured roster spot behind Morris at tailback
"The only thing that’s been settled is Alf and Helu," Shanahan said. "Everything else is up for grabs. We’ve got a good problem to have because I think there’s a bunch of guys there that can play in this league and that can help us. They’re gonna make us have to make a tough decision next week. And really, every play is gonna count for them."

"I think Alfred just looks better, and that’s tough to say because Alfred did as good last year as I’ve ever had someone do for me," Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said. "But, Alf, as you guys know, Alf’s as humble as there is. He always has that. He never feels like he’s arrived, and even after his rookie year he still has that same mentality."
