It's always refreshing to have the correct perspective on the situation. So many overreactions on Adam Schefter's tweet yesterday that it made me sick.

This WR corps has so much swagger! I'm excited.

Re: Official Redskins Off-season News and Rumors - Part Quatre
 

QB Robert Griffin III (right knee) did similar throwing drills to those we’ve seen the last two weeks. He moved smoothly rolling to his right at a brisk pace on a keeper. He ran long sprints after his throwing work. Afterwards, he limped slightly but noticeably.
“Larry [Hess, head athletic trainer] told me that coming out here,” Griffin said. “I asked him if he was joking because he does joke like that a lot, about me limping, but I didn’t feel like I was limping. Wasn’t sore at all. I did think he was joking, but he said he was serious and some people were saying they thought I was limping, but, nah, I wasn’t.”

Good. I hope that he is learning new moves, without which he likely won't be DPOY.

"Last week, Orakpo unleashed a wicked spin move against Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams, who acknowledged Orakpo is a chore to block. Head coach Mike Shanahan has noticed."

Thats the first time Ive read Orakpo and spin move in the same sentence. If he adds another move, that could be pretty big. All he normally had in the past was a speed rush and bull rush. Not saying DPOY big, but he doesnt have to be that to have a successful season.

Heck yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

Re: Official Redskins Off-season News and Rumors - Part Quatre
 

Good back and forth about the offense. Not really breaking any news, but both sides are brought up in a respectful back and forth:

First thing he has said that I really don't like. Look it's great he wants to be out there, and seeing him in the few clips running around he looks great, but if the trainer and others are telling him he is limping, he needs to hear that and accept it.

I could see it happening, he must be really fired up about the team now that we have a real offense to help the defense. After the experience with Zorn era, he must be pumped to have Shanny as coach and winning team. And of course, it's contract year for him.
