INTERVIEW – LARRY MICHAEL – The Voice of The Redskins (in studio)
- Redskins-Broncos: What To Watch For, Preseason Week 3
- Denver Broncos @ Washington Redskins tonight @ 7:30 PM
- Washington Post: Redskins get serious ahead of their third preseason game, Adrian Peterson’s debut. Redskins Park had a different vibe this week, even if the team downplayed any increased sense of urgency with the regular season on the horizon. Adrian Peterson was signed to bolster a banged-up group of running backs. Wednesday’s practice session had the fewest amount of medical absences in weeks, with just five players not on injured reserve sitting out. The structure switched from training-camp general workouts to specific game preparation for individual players, coverages and concepts. Friday’s preseason matchup with the Denver Broncos likely will be the most game action the starters see this preseason, and possibly their last as many teams don’t want to risk injury a week before the regular season begins. Coach Jay Gruden said he’s still making decisions on how much the starters will play, but safety D.J. Swearinger wants all the playing time possible. “You want to get used to dominating,” Swearinger said. “A chance to get used to dominating would be on Friday. If we can just lock in together as a whole, we can dominate.
