Practice to real time:
Callahan says the biggest frustration is not taking practice to the games. The lack of translation from what he sees in good practices to bad game performance is really disappointing.

Fans:
Redskins HC Bill Callahan: I feel bad for our fans. They come to the game and they expect a quality product, and that wasn’t displayed yesterday.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 18, 2019
Callahan cont'd: "That's what eats at me, that's what bothers me, when I feel that I've let our fans down in that respect. It falls on my shoulders."

Asked Bill Callahan what their process was in deciding to let Montae Nicholson play on Sunday. His first answer was all about Nicholson’s health.

Asked him again about how Montae could play after the tragic events of last week. Bill said Montae wanted to play
DB benchings:
Callahan says Norman, Dunbar and Moreau were benched yesterday because they wanted to look at other players. Their snaps were limited down the stretch

RB snaps:
When asked about how the RB snaps were split, Callahan said O'Connell wanted to have Smallwood in for various passing plays throughout the game. Smallwood ended up with more snaps than Guice and AP. #Redskins

WTF:
"and you can see that manifest itself in the way that they play in Dallas over the years."

Just strengthen your resolve regarding standards, the way you view and coach the game, and maybe you, too, can come back and deliver and 0-16 season.
