Williams says the defensive line is much better just because of the addition of Tomsula alone, but talent additions help as well.

Offense depends on Cousins:
Williams thinks offense will all depend on how Cousins does getting ball to receivers. The WRs are talented enough, it's riding on Cousins.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 13, 2017
Williams: "Nobody is more confident than Kirk Cousins." #Redskins
— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) August 13, 2017
Williams: "everybody knows Kirk can play this game. He's proved that. Now it's about taking it to the next level, and he knows that."
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 13, 2017
Williams says Cousins will do no less than he did last year. But being in this system third year should lead to growth.

Jonathan Allen:
Williams: "Jonathan Allen is the guy that he was hyped up to be." Says he needs to learn to use his hands a little better for the pro game.

Skins Exec VP Doug Williams: Jonathan Allen is the guy he was hyped up 2 be. Soon as he learns the pro game…he’s gonna be a beast in there.”

New role in organization:
Williams said the biggest takeaway from this camp is him learning to be in his new position #Redskins
— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) August 13, 2017
Soft practices?:
Williams says that the Redskins can't use rules restricting contact during camp as an excuse for not being ready to go Week 1.
— Nora Princiotti (@NoraPrinciotti) August 13, 2017
Williams on training camp intensity comparisons from his era to now. Yeah, there's a difference, but "We can't use that as an excuse."

D.J. Swearinger:
D.J. Swearinger "has brought a lot of swag to this defense," Doug Williams said #Redskins

First guy Williams mentions as player who needs to step up without Trent Murphy is Junior Galette. Then Ryan Anderson, Chris Carter.
— Nora Princiotti (@NoraPrinciotti) August 13, 2017
Junior Galette:
Williams w Murphy gone, it's opportunity for Galette to "show he can stay healthy & be that guy." If not, then it fall on Smith and Anderson
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 13, 2017
Williams on Galette: "How many guys can have two Achilles' on two different ankles and work as hard as he has to get to this point?"
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 13, 2017
Williams: "I do believe if we can get him on the field we'll see some of the Junior Galette that we're looking for."
— Nora Princiotti (@NoraPrinciotti) August 13, 2017
Concern on offense:
Doug Williams' main remaining concern is the offense after not seeing a lot of promise Thursday night.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 13, 2017
Colin Kaepernick:
Williams gets a Kaepernick question. The former QB passes on diving into the controversy. Says Redskins have 3 quarterbacks.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 13, 2017
'Williams on Kaepernick: "[He’s] not my concern. We got 3 guys in camp and those are the guys we’re gonna concentrate on." #Redskins https://t.co/p5L4t6pH9c
