-Hard working group of guys, we play physical

-Inconsistent, penalties hurt us a lot

-Off a play here a play there, a person here a person there

-Not converting 3rd downs, limiting our opportunities to continue drives and create more plays

-Mark got knocked around a lot

-Made a bad decision in the red area (just one?)

-Avg. 4.7 yards per rush, but not happy with the running game (helped by a reverse)

-Concerned about pass protection, 6 sacks allowed

-In general, felt they did a good job on kickoffs. Hall handled the kickoffs (I didn't even notice)

-Don't get a better play than what Rock made, don't know if anybody means more to the football team than Rock Cartwright. Example of a real Redskin (interesting comment)

-A bunch of guys made great plays on that return-Demetrick, Kedrick, Chris Cooley

-Need more guys around the ball on kickoff coverage though

-Will be turning in one of the special teams penalties for review

-Four 3 and outs defensively in second half, happy with the physicality and hustle of the defense

-Problem was penalties. Seven penalties.

-Need to be more effective in pass protection and rushing the football

-Clinton wants to play every week, and he's a joker so he'll try to joke around with the media. But Gibbs and Clinton speak every day and there's no miscommunication between the two

-No word on whether he'll play against Houston

-Springs is day-to-day

-Mark has been like the offense in general, inconsistent

-You can probably find a play to show MB threw it away too quick, but it's not a theme

-Would he approach preseason next year the same way he approached it this year? Probably not

-To be quite truthful, bitterly disappointed they went 0-4 in the preseason

-Ultimate responsibility for what is going on is Gibbs' (the sacrificial scapegoat)
