Just read this great article about Kerrigan and how committed he is to maintaining his body for football.. Perhaps there is not much else Redskins can do to prevent injuries, only players themselves need to put in the work and commit to body maintenance on their own? Kerrigan gave a great example - "If you are out here working your ass off in training camp and going back to the hotel and ordering burgers and fries for dinner, you are going to struggle the next few days."

I could be wrong, but it sounded like Kerrigan was calling out some people in this interview...at least people that are no longer with the team.

That's what I thought too, sure seems like it. I hope there's at least one or two players that his words rub off on, we need all the help we can get at preventing injuries.

I wouldn't be surprised but, in view of the first five games on their schedule, it might be grossly unfair to fire him mid-season.
Game 1 - at Philly
Game 2 - Dallas
Game 3 - Chicago
Game 4 - at NYG
Game 5 - New England
Why is everyone worried about the schedule so much? Do the Eagles have the 85 Bear defense? They can be had. Is Tribisky Pat Mahomes or something? I see possibly 2-3 wins in there. Or 1-4 / 0-5. That's why you play the games. No one knows who's going to turn the ball over or when the Pats may fall off a cliff.

I'll take a gander, the Pats will fall off a cliff when Brady and Belichick retire. They laid the foundation for their entire culture. Until then they could start 0-5 and I'd still think they could be in the playoffs.

If my memory serves me right Belichick has always treated the first 4 regular season games like preseason. They have been 2-2 in September quite a few times, then finish with 12 or more wins.

Pats have been starting slow the last few years...they lost to the Lions last year...are we better than the Lions? Of course, under Jay...Skins have started slow as well.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said he expects tight end Jordan Reed to be available for the season opener at Philadelphia. Reed entered the concussion protocol after a hit in Thursday's preseason win at Atlanta. "We're quite confident that Jordan will be fine," Gruden said. That's good news for a team whose passing game revolves largely around Reed.

4 of 5 playoff teams ain’t no joke.

And when isn't Gruden overly optimistic about players coming back from injury? Also concussions usually have a cumulative effect. The more you get the easier you get them and the longer the effects last.
