"Baylor has one of the great offenses in college football, but they didn’t do anything as far as protections and route running," Gruden said after getting a close look at Seastrunk in the three-day minicamp last weekend. "He didn’t catch any balls [in 2013]. So the major [challenge] for him was going to be picking up blitzes and running routes out of the backfield. It’s brand new to him."

"It’s not easy at all," Brunell said of changing the way a quarterback thinks the game. "He’s played a certain way since 9 years old. That’s where good coaching comes in. That’s where study becomes very important. A perfect example is Cam Newton’s development. This year he had more of a pocket presence. He had poise, he was more selective when he chose to run and you could see he really grew. That will be critical for RG III. That’s the type of progress he needs to make."

Thus creates a big opening that Redskins general manager Bruce Allen now must fill. They could always promote Doug Williams, hired earlier this offseason as a personnel executive. Williams was a personnel executive for five seasons in Tampa Bay under Allen and then spent two years as the coordinator of pro scouting. They also have former San Diego general manager A.J. Smith on staff, though he's not full-time at Redskins Park and his focus this past offseason was on the draft.
