I think Bill Callahan has identified that last year was who the #Redskins ‘are’ before Alex Smith’s injury. That was a run oriented, don’t turn the ball over, and play defense team. That might be the blueprint going forward this season. They will try to be more physical under BC.

For the second day in a row, the refs are back out at practice. Dan Snyder is out in attendance again. The offense ran 7s to kick start the session. Wes Martin is on the side field pulling a sled around.

RG Wes Martin (#67) got away with what looked like a hold on this play too https://t.co/5cRqgztgdd

#Redskins news: The team has promoted Phil Rauscher to offensive line coach taking over for former OL coach and now interim head coach Bill Callahan. Also, Aaron Stamn was hired as an offensive assistant.

Pads on. Refs are here.

Wes Martin (chest) isn’t in uniform. Penn (hamstring) is back in. Davis (concussion) is here. TBD how much he does. Reed is not here still.

Man, I'm used to coachspeak during pressers, but this Manusky presser is brutal.

"What was the difference in the 2nd half against New England?"

"Well uh they just ran the ball more, made some adjustments, and we couldn't stop it. Got to get better."

Just a small nugget for #Redskins fans who need something positive heading into Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.

Skins are 3-0 over the past three seasons in Week 6 contest. Could they make it four straight over four years?

Ok there you go! ‍♂️

Redskins announce WR Jehu Chesson placed on IR.

WR Jester Weah signed to the practice squad.

Carry on.

Among those who worked out here this week: WR Simmie Cobbs. Was cut here last year. Opted of course not to sign this week.

Check tonight's forecast. But even if it were clear for Gordon I think I would like AP against the Dolphins with a coach who wants to RunRunRunRunRunRunRun.

Also: my fantasy advice stinks in general. But I think this is OK. https://t.co/wYh1q7i6YA

#Patriots owner Robert Kraft on @nflnetwork just now: “We all love Gronk and I think the bottom line is, he hasn't put his retirement papers in. We can always pray and hope …. That's a good academic argument that there is hope for us still with Gronk."

Conversely, if the Rams lose this game with three extra days of rest against an injury-ravaged 49ers offense, there will be major concerns about their Super Bowl viability. These are the gifts you need to capitalize on if you want to keep up in playoff seeding. https://t.co/ildhDEshC7

Ed Reed’s comments underscore the fact that the appetite currently exists for an Old School Football League, with ‘80s/‘90s era hitting and everyone fully aware of the risks. That may be the best chance for an alternative pro league to thrive. https://t.co/lWFn3uqFAd
