Highlights:
Reminded the players how hard that game really was to win (referencing the playoff win vs. Washington)
Says they don't have a special philosophy towards prime time games vs. non-primetime games.
Bruce Irvin is looking good, needs to get through the week.
Pete sounds like he's got a nasty lil head cold
asked if they play differently going against a youngster like Cousins instead of the more elite qb's from the previous week. He said not really and noted that Kirk threw for 400 a few weeks ago so they need to prepare for him as they do every qb
Asked if he recruited DeSean Jackson and said "absolutely". Gave him tons of props in all aspects.
lots of the basic praising for our upcoming opponent in all phases of the game.
Said Norwood is in great shape, and the only reason he hasn't been playing is basically the fact that with his injury he was kind of the last guy ready so it makes it hard to get him out there.
Said lots of supportive things about the Wilson article being discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=97606
Said he has no problem at all with the players who have their blogs and such. He said they do take a risk by putting themselves out there but he's very proud of what they are doing.
On use of the name "Redskins"...said he doesn't have the background to comment astutely but he's glad to see the way people are considering social change in today's environment.
Says they like what they see from Walters as a returner.
Said Simon is progressing well but will still be a few more weeks before he's ready to go. Sounds like they aren't going to try to speed him through the process. This is being discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=97548
