Lets look at some news and notes about these OTAs.
Washington Redskins' Alex Smith makes strong, steady first impression - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN (http://www.espn.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/36543/ball-is-ball-alex-smith-makes-strong-first-impression)
Cousins and Smith may be close in stats, but def different on the field. When Cousins completed a long pass in practice...he was celebrating it. Alex makes the throw, expects a completion, then moves on to the next play. Keim said in another post that he expects Smith's approach maybe to go a little farther in the lockerroom. Smith is all business right now getting into the playbook, fun will come later.

Allen - Payne - McGee with Ioannidis as first in rotating. Sounds right and Payne in there at nose first. Good.
Redskins OTA observations: Let's all get excited about Derrius Guice | Redskins XTRA | richmond.com (http://www.richmond.com/redskins-xtra/redskins-ota-observations-let-s-all-get-excited-about-derrius/article_c82838a8-5eb3-11e8-8ae5-c3a34fc40f49.html)
With linebacker Zach Brown absent, the staff gave the second starting spot to Josh Harvey-Clemons, and are clearly hoping for big things in his second year.
--Likewise, at cornerback, Orlando Scandrick got plenty of work in opposite Josh Norman, with Quinton Dunbar becoming the third cornerback in nickel situations. Scandrick can also play slot corner, so view that as a fluid situation at the moment
I also read a couple things about Richardson and Quinn...all positive. WR is gonna be an interesting bag...Im just hoping for health in that group when the season opens.
