Former Redskins offensive tackle Tyler Polumbus, who co-hosts a weekly podcast, “The NFL Journeymen,” with former Washington teammate Will Montgomery, discussed why Washington produces so many unnamed sources.
“I played six years of my career here, and I just kind thought it was normal for everyone to be complaining to the media,” said Montgomery, who says he underwent a media blackout and avoided social media during that time in his playing career.
“No! No!” Polumbus interrupted, indicating that kind of interaction is not normal.
Polumbus, who played with the Redskins from 2011 to 2014, offered his theory on the primary source of leaked information during his time at Redskins Park.
“You know what the problem is? The front office out there doesn’t set the standard,” Polumbus said on this week’s episode. “I honestly feel like 70 percent of the leaks come from the front office out there. So then a guy comes out and starts complaining behind the scenes [that] a player does it and it’s like, ‘Well, what are you gonna do? Because we all know that half the leaks are comin’ from the front office, so maybe you guys can shut your mouth up there and we’ll shut our mouth down here.’ ”

Last year they were entirely shifty so I guess this can be looked upon as improvement.
