Alex Smith to the podium. He says the RPO’s will be better some weeks than others, but he thinks they take the pressure off a playcaller. You don’t have to play the run/pass chess game. The defense dictates the best option within the play.

Jordan Reed:
Alex Smith on Jordan Reed - He’s capable of doing about all there is. He’s a difference maker, without a doubt.

Trent Williams:
Smith said he knew Trent Williams was a special player, but being on the same field with him made it a little more real. He said it’s something that he’s noticed in practice, too but nothing quite like a game.

Ryan Kerrigan:
Smith when told Ryan Kerrigan has never missed a game: “That is a ridiculous stat.”

Wide receivers:
Smith credits the WRs for being selfless and only caring about winning during a week or weeks when they don’t get the ball much. Said it’s not always like that... #redskins
