Packers defense:
Bill Callahan says he’s expecting lots of complexity from Packers defense. Know there will be looks they haven’t seen before. #redskins
— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) December 5, 2019
Preston Smith:
Bill Callahan on Preston Smith - Players evolve. Players mature.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 5, 2019
Callahan at the podium.
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) December 5, 2019
He doesn't necessarily see a different person out of former Redskins player Preston Smith. "You don't know what can make a spark in a player's career. Hope he does well, but not too well on Sunday." #Redskins #HTTR
Aaron Rodgers:
"I don't think it will ever be perfect," Callahan said on the preparation for Aaron Rodgers. #Redskins #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) December 5, 2019
Steven Sims Jr.:
With Trey Quinn in concussion protocol, plan is for Steven Sims to remain at punt returner. He’s been practicing all week on the Jugs machine. Callahan wants to feature Sims more on offense as well.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 5, 2019
Steve Sims Jr. gives the #Redskins a lot speed and quickness at the slot position, Callahan said. Sims had more snaps at the position when Trey Quinn went down with a concussion against the Panthers. #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) December 5, 2019
Matt Ioannidis:
When Bill Callahan really likes a player he kinda smiles as he describes that player. Just did it with Matt Ioannidis. Have also seen it with AP.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 5, 2019
Rushing yards vs Panthers:
Callahan said the #Redskins probably got the Packers' attention last week when they rushed for 248 yards. It's fair to say that is probably accurate. #HTTR

Greg Manusky Presser
Montez Sweat:
Greg Manusky to the podium in Ashburn. He says Montez Sweat’s really starting to figure out how to use his length. Getting the reps has been huge and they’re starting to take hold.

Nate Orchard/Chris Odom:
Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky said he was surprised for Nate Orchard and Chris Odom. Said he was impressed with how Orchard learned the system after coming off the street. #Redskins #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) December 5, 2019
Fabian Moreau:
Manusky: Fabian Moreau has been playing really well overall the past few weeks. He's looking forward to seeing what he can do against the Packers. #Redskins #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) December 5, 2019
Jimmy Moreland:
Jimmy Moreland has good overall understanding of the nickel corner position, Manusky said. He's got a good speed and quickness to help him succeed at the position. #Redskins #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) December 5, 2019
Defensive adjustments:
Manusky says there were minor adjustments they made after the first two touchdown drives Sunday, but the biggest issue was they let up two huge drive starters. One big play. One penalty.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 5, 2019
Those are big indicators for success and they were 0/2 in the first two drives.
Aaron Rodgers:
The Redskins have worked on trying to simulate Aaron Rodgers’ snap count. “He’s one of the best at getting people to jump offsides,” Greg Manusky said. “If you do jump offsides you have to make sure you still cover on the back end.” Rodgers will take shots in these spots.
