Jay Gruden wouldn't have a problem starting Scherff at Guard | ESPN Redskins Blog
If he ultimately becomes a top guard, then it won't matter. If he's just average then it will, perhaps like any other player they might have drafted. Numerous NFL people said they felt he'd be best suited at guard than tackle -- one coach for another team said Scherff could be a good tackle but a great guard.
Jamison Crowder stands out in practice with Houston | ESPN Redskins Blog
One throw I did not mention in the Robert Griffin III post, but it occurred in one-on-ones and involved Crowder. Griffin lofted a perfect deep ball to Crowder, who beat Jackson again for an over-the-shoulder grab. Crowder caught a play-action pass over the middle from Kirk Cousins in 11-on-11 work.

Injuries: The Redskins' secondary is banged up so I'll be curious who will even be on the field for them. They should have safeties Dashon Goldson and Duke Ihenacho available, but the corners might be Justin Rogers and a host of unknowns if David Amerson isn't available.

We're just being cautious. If there was a game next week I'd be able to play, but I'm not. ... We just want to be cautious because we can't afford to have any setbacks right now."
Need to know: Preseason games loom large for back-up QB's | CSN Washington
McCoy and Cousins have both had good plays and bad. Cousins does seem to be doing a better job of protecting the ball; interceptions have been few and far between after being at least a daily occurrence last year. McCoy struggles at times but when he gets into rhythm he can complete several in a row.
