Correctable mistake for Kai Forbath | Comcast SportsNet Washington
"I just kind of swung across my body instead of swinging up to the target," the Redskins’ second-year kicker said. "Very similar to a golf shot, you’re going to slice it if you come down across it."

Poor start altered Kyle Shanahan’s game plan vs. Eagles
"We never got to do our game plan, to tell you the truth," Shanahan said. "We had some stuff in there early, but it wasn’t just that that we didn’t get to do. We didn’t get to do 90 percent of our game plan. It turned into two-minute drill pretty fast. First half we wanted to set some things up, which is what we kind of always do in our offense. But we weren’t able to set anything up, and you don’t want to just run it to run it."

Haslett bristles at questions about Monday’s defensive performance

Cofield says his broken hand didn’t hinder his play too much
"It felt good, pretty much pain-free, still giving the bone an opportunity to heal, which is obviously still important at this point," Cofield said Thursday. "It takes six to eight weeks for a break really to heal like that. I felt like I was able to help the team. [There’s] no substitute for two good hands. But at the same time, I was happy and practice went well for me [Wednesday]. So I don’t expect any changes."

Meriweather says his string of injuries has been ‘very frustrating’
"It’s been very frustrating," Meriweather said in the locker room at Redskins Park. "I told you all last year the worst thing is sitting there watching your team go through something and you’re just sitting there watching. It’s frustrating to sit on the sideline and watch the people that you went through camp with and you’ve grown to love."

Redskins hope familiarity with 3-4 defense helps against Packers
"It helps us a lot," tight end Fred Davis said. "We’ve run against our 3-4 ever since training camp, so I feel like we’ll be able to run a lot of the plays that we ran in training camp, which means we’ve practiced them a lot, and it’ll definitely be a lot smoother, because we’re used to it."

Pierre Garcon: FedEx louder than Lambeau - ESPN
"It’s another stadium," said Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon, whose only appearance at Lambeau came in 2008. "FedEx Field is louder. But the crowd noise won’t be an issue for us. They’ll be excited and pumped because it’s their home opener. Lambeau has history, but they don’t have the weather advantage. It’s going to be an even playing field, to tell you the truth."
