What also happens, at least with these two players [Knighton and Lichtensteiger] -- as well as guard Spencer Long -- is trading the information to help one another. This doesn’t happen all the time, but it is going on now with this group of linemen.

“We know when it’s time to work and when it’s time to help each other out,” Knighton said. “You have to get each other better but at the same time look out for each other. At times he’ll get me on something and I’ll ask him what he sees in my stance and vice versa.”

while we can be encouraged about reports of the improvement by Griffin the reality is, he probably is going to require a lot of help and time to bring his level of play up to where he should be to be a good NFL QB

the good news is that he does not appear to be the disaster that some predicted a little while ago

Duke Ihenacho - DB - Redskins

Duke Ihenacho is getting the "first crack" at the Redskins' strong-safety job.
He's competing with Jeron Johnson. Our money has been on Johnson, but Ihenacho took all the first-team reps on Thursday. "We’re going to go out there and let them play," coach Jay Gruden said. "Duke’s done a good job so far, and those guys are going to line up and see what happens."

CSN Washington expects Duke Ihenacho to open the season as the starting strong safety.
Ihenacho has been getting the majority of first-team reps over Jeron Johnson. The Redskins have more invested in Johnson and aren’t expected to name a starter until late in training camp. Dashon Goldson is locked in at free safety.

I think that's a bit unfair...go take a look at some of the great QB's over the past couple of decades and you'll see double digit picks during the first year...her's a freebie...Luck 43 picks in his first 3 years.

difference being Luck has taken his team to the playofffs every year, wins games, and is a 4th quarter BEAST. Kirk has ZERO gusto in crunchtime and well... is NOT Luck.

Grossman? Oops brain fart
But I hear ya

Coaches have observed steady improvements in Moses. He’s doing a better job of using his length to his advantage, he has gotten stronger, and he’s moving well. Is he a better right tackle than Scherff? They don’t know the answer to that yet, but they’re intrigued with the possibility enough to see how Moses does at that spot, and how Scherff does at guard. Some draft analysts projected Scherff as a better guard than tackle. However, Washington’s talent evaluators believed at the time of the draft that he has the potential to be a great tackle or guard. Coaches now believe that Moses is a future starter in this league as well. So, Callahan is trying to find the best combination.
How did Moses look versus the starters? Pretty solid. Two different times, he did a good job of riding Ryan Kerrigan and steering him wide and away from the quarterback. Moses did well in the run game as well. Scherff looked solid at guard. He said “it doesn’t matter where they want to play me.” He believes he can handle either.

And then this happens. .. DJax and Hall hurt on first day of joint practice. SOB!!

Jackson was helped off the field and has returned, but he’s in a t-shirt and has his shoulder wrapped and iced. At this point however, the injury is not considered serious.

DeAngelo Hall says he tweaked his knee and groin. Achilles' tendon is fine.

Hall said his groin muscle was already feeling tight before practice, but he wanted to suit up because the #Redskins' depth is already thin.

DeAngelo Hall isn't super concerned about his injury.

Pretty sure he wrote that intentionally. Get the joke?
