The Daily Twitter will be posted at the beginning of every day (at midnight in Washington, DC). The goal is to give readers a handy spot to check the Redskins beat writers & bloggers, and national sports journalists to keep up on the latest news about the Redskins, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

I rather watch Twitter on Monday than the #Redskins on Sunday
— manny benton (@manny_benton) December 27, 2019
I hate Redskins Twitter this time of year. The TL is overrun by fake insiders telling us that X, Y, Z is going to happen, but they "can't confirm." However, they know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who picks up Bruce's empty Coors Light bottles on Dan's yacht who knows

Heard something similar. Believe BA has a vision of what he’d like if he remains. But Snyder def going about some things on his own. Will be interesting. https://t.co/FczMeF5Qs8

So you're telling me Dan Snyder hired some consultants. Sounds familiar. Waiting now to hear the Redskins aiming for Masai Ujiri.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) December 27, 2019
Mentioned one coaching name in here.mentioned him before. Agree with @kevinsheehanDC that IF BA stays could add someone and could be “out of the box”. But ... a few scenarios exist. stay tuned... https://t.co/yatwNCW3jX
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 27, 2019
i don't think so. but only point in this is that multiple scenarios exist. also think could be a difference in what BA is thinking and how he might suggest shaking things up vs. Dan Snyder's thinking...

Rivera/KOC/Kyle Smith feels like not a terrible outcome as far as getting three good people into three important spots. Wouldn’t do a lot to address long-standing institutional issues, though.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) December 27, 2019
My $.02... you don’t put together an independent group of football consultants if your President is safe... and can’t imagine their recommendation was to keep Bruce.

I remembered there was talk of the #Redskins defense being top-ten this year. So I did a search to see what went wrong.
— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) December 27, 2019
Unfortunately, top-ten talk is simply an annual rite of passage in Washington. #FlightMarshals #DCGridlock pic.twitter.com/Yn8arEnZfD
Whatta decade for #Redskins at defense coordinator. Comfort over competence. Jim Haslett inexplicably lasted five seasons. Joe Barry hired over Wade Phillips. Greg Manusky kept for third season off team failing to replace him. #Skins not once had top-10 defense per DVOA or yards.
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) December 27, 2019
Redskins haven’t had a reliable defense since Gregg Williams.
— Sean Kennedy (@EatSleepRedskin) December 27, 2019
That was a long time ago. https://t.co/jWXNgJ8kjv
"One veteran defensive player suggested that the Redskins still have the talent for a Top 10 defense but the pieces simply “aren’t used right.”
— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) December 27, 2019
This defense honestly still looks good on paper... get a competent guy in 2020 and see guys start playing faster + smarter

Chris Thompson (who won the previous two seasons), Jon Bostic and Terry McLaurin.
Plenty of others were great as well, but those guys stuck out and ultimately made our coverage better for you.

Few thoughts/info: 1) Callahan not going to be the HC here next yr. 2) Manusky gone too. 3) There is team interest in Marvin Lewis & vice versa. 4) Wouldn't surprise me if Raheem Morris mentioned in connection w/#Redskins job. 5) Out of box front office hire in play.

Dude was a constant underachiever, barely above .500 but folks remember him going to the playoffs often...

When asked about the possibility of being the head coach in Washington, O’Connell says he’s focused on the game Sunday. He says he’s used to change as a player and a coach. Whatever comes Monday, he’ll deal with then.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 27, 2019
Changes will be coming for the #Redskins, but I still would like for my boy Ike Hilliard to be kept on board. He has been valuable to the growth of the young receiving core. He needs to get a look as an OC too. He’s ready! pic.twitter.com/P3fc25AEKQ

My #Redskins MVP for the 2019 season is Adrian Peterson. He was the glue who held the sinking ship together. Inactive scratch for game one, AP helped keep the team competitive after an 0-5 start.

.@TheTerry_25 has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. Dallas, ending one of the best seasons by a rookie WR in #Redskins history:
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 27, 2019
-- 2nd in receiving yards (919)
-- 2nd in touchdowns (7)
-- T-3rd in receptions (58)https://t.co/56VmHop5Kk
For Kyshoen Jarrett, arm injury ended his playing days, but not his drive... "I went from this 205-pound guy, -- I can tackle some of the strongest men without a problem -- down to a guy I feel is barely recognizable it was definitely a struggle." https://t.co/Aye9EBMtwe

On the flight to Dallas. Let’s kill some time with a Q&A. No I don’t know if Bruce is getting fired. No I don’t know who the next coach will be. Other than that, fire away!
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 27, 2019
If they’re 2 and Chase Young is there, it’s pretty easy to stay put and take him.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 27, 2019
Remember they’re without a 2nd rounder though. So if they drop, trading back might not be a bad option. https://t.co/KhQgrF1WHE https://t.co/MqjppXwAYk
Slightly. If they drop to 3 or 4 then I’d seriously look at Jeudy or Lamb. There’s a few more that are potential game changers too. STACKED class.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 27, 2019
Sims is a slot starter. McLaurin’s a legit 1. Quinn/Harmon are GREAT depth guys, but you can upgrade WR2. https://t.co/CghmAwCZ3k https://t.co/5xkw4aJ6wa
In general, the best coaches clearly define what they want from their players. So a DC has to know what he has and ask guys to do that instead of just running “their stuff.”
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 27, 2019
Same obviously for a HC. It’s what separates Belichick above all else. https://t.co/bzXjDzE6pM https://t.co/Dt0pAdajKG
There was some concern, but I think that’s mostly (if not all) gone. He’s responded very well to added responsibility. He grew a lot. O’Connell talked about it today actually.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 27, 2019
His process evolved from unacceptable to successful. That’s cool. https://t.co/ZJo3v9kcYS https://t.co/FiLUx8mr90
Yes they will and Trent would listen, but he’s 99% out the door. Dan would have some real crow to eat. Don’t know if that happens and would guess not. But Trent does love his teammates.

Folks, this could be the Redskins’ starting secondary on Sunday:
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) December 27, 2019
Corner: Coty Sensabaugh, Kayvon Webster and Aaron Colvin
Safeties: Jeremy Reaves, Kenny Ladler
#Redskins front 7 will be in tact this weekend, but the back end? Holy smokes...
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 27, 2019
CB's: Webster, Colvin outside. Sensabaugh inside. Backups are Dee Delany and JNo
Safety's are...????
Reaves and Ladler or Maurice Smith. Backups the guy who doesn't start and Sensabaugh. Seriously
First 4 fans there who bring a jersey get to start in the secondary. https://t.co/YFs39WTpgu
