Washington Redskins 5 biggest concerns halfway through the preseason | Fanspeak.com

“You put on a vest and see,” he said when asked how much he notices it during practice. “It restricts you in a lot of areas, obviously gravity.

From 2009 to 2014, Charles put up absurd numbers. He approached 2,000 total yards from scrimmage in both 2013 and 2010, and put up more than 1,700 total yards in 2012. It’s worth adding that Charles found great success with Alex Smith when both were playing in Kansas City.

Apke had a really good game with three tackles, a pass defensed and an interception off a tipped pass. Apke was in with the 2nd unit so he played versus some of the Jets starters and looked good overall. His speed and athleticism was very apparent throughout his time in the game.
