Thu, 17 May 2012 06:12:11 -0700 The Washington Redskins will not take part in the HBO series "Hard Knocks" this season, according to head coach Mike Shanahan. The head coach said that he's not inclined to open the doors to cameras and microphones, because it keeps coaches and players from being themselves.
Thu, 29 Mar 2012 06:27:55 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he loves Baylor QB Robert Griffin III not only as a quarterback, but as a person. "He's a great guy, great parents - I had a chance to spend a couple hours with his parents, and you know where he gets it," Shanahan said. "Obviously, you look at the film and you like what you see on film. As we all know, from the collegiate level to the pro level there are growing pains. Every quarterback goes through it. But he's got such a big upside."
Thu, 29 Mar 2012 05:54:44 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said Wednesday, March 28, he will be open-minded about the possibility that the quarterback the team will select in the NFL Draft, either Baylor QB Robert Griffin III or Stanford QB Andrew Luck, will be the club's starter at the outset of his rookie season. However, that's not a given, according to Shanahan, who said the issue of whether the prized rookie starts immediately will depend on the young quarterback's progress during the offseason and training camp. "You put him in there when you feel like he's ready to go," Shanahan said.
Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:03:29 -0700 Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder, general manager Bruce Allen, head coach Mike Shanahan and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, among others, are in attendance at Baylor QB Robert Griffin III's Pro Day Wednesday, March 21.
Mon, 05 Mar 2012 09:29:03 -0800 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he believes the team had a playoff-caliber offense in 2011. However, for Shanahan, lack of depth was the biggest issue. "Well, I think we were a playoff-caliber offense this year," Shanahan said. "But we didn't have the depth that you need to go through a season. You can't lose your left tackle, your left guard, your center. You can't lose your starting running back and tight end, especially your tight end that's your best blocker in Chris Cooley..."
Wed, 25 Jan 2012 05:29:35 -0800 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he currently does not have a franchise quarterback on his roster and hopes to acquire one through the NFL Draft. When asked if he was keying in on a quarterback at the Senior Bowl considering his roster, Shanahan replied, "I think everyone wants a franchise quarterback. If you don't have a franchise quarterback and you say you're not looking for one, then you usually won't be working for very long. Everybody wants that guy. People that usually do have that guy are consistently winning."
Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:09:16 -0800 Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris agreed Wednesday, Jan. 11, to join the staff of the Washington Redskins. He will serve as the defensive backs coach. Head coach Mike Shanahan said he will allow Morris to void his contract if he is able to secure a defensive coordinator position next year.
Sat, 31 Dec 2011 13:32:46 -0800 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he believes that the team will compete for a playoff spot next season because it will have better depth than it did this season. He believes the team would have been a playoff contender this season if it did not deal with a lot of injuries.
Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:46:40 -0800 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said there is no doubt in his mind that he will return to the team next season.
Tue, 27 Dec 2011 07:15:06 -0800 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan admitted Monday, Dec. 26, the rebuilding project he took on was a more difficult task than he expected. "A lot longer than I first anticipated," Shanahan said. "We had less depth than I thought. We were a little bit older at a few different positions. I thought we might keep those players a little longer than we did." The Redskins have lost at least 10 games for the second consecutive season.
Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:03:40 -0800 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan has not been pleased with team captains losing their poise during games and drawing penalties. In Week 14, CB DeAngelo Hall picked up a flag and threw it after he was called for holding. "If you make too many of those mistakes, eventually you're not with us," Shanahan said.
Mon, 14 Nov 2011 06:10:21 -0800 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan indicated following the team's Week 10 game that the quarterback situation will be handled on a week-to-week basis.
Sat, 15 Oct 2011 06:52:02 -0700 Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley (knee) said he is concerned that media were informed he had fluid drained from his surgically-repaired left knee earlier in the week. Head coach Mike Shanahan told reporters Thursday, Oct. 13, about the procedure. Cooley wishes the news had not been publicized "because everyone thinks it's drained, that's a huge deal," Cooley said. "No, that's not a big deal. Guys get things drained all the time." Cooley expects to play in Week 6.
Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:55:44 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan had a discussion with RB Tim Hightower (shoulder) about the way he handled disclosure of his shoulder injury.
Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:37:16 -0700 Washington Redskins CB Josh Wilson (back) suffered a back injury in the team's Week 2 game. The injury, however, does not appear to be serious. "It doesn't look too bad right now," head coach Mike Shanahan said after the game.
Mon, 12 Sep 2011 07:09:49 -0700 The Washington Redskins usually take Mondays off following a win, and must practice the day after losses. However, this week, the team plans to spend "Victory Monday" on the football field. Although head coach Mike Shanahan planned to reward his players with a day of rest after their Week 1 victory over the New York Giants, the players declined. Instead, they told their coach that they're coming to work and want to get better.
Fri, 26 Aug 2011 07:45:59 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan declined to say following the team's preseason game Thursday, Aug. 25, which quarterback is in the lead, or even if he had seen enough to make a determination as to whom his starter for Week 1 will be. QBs Rex Grossman and John Beck are in compeition for the job. "I've been telling you guys from Day 1 and I'll keep on saying the same thing. We're going to evaluate them all the way through camp, all the way through the last preseason game and possibly up until the day before we play the Giants," Shanahan said. "It all depends on if someone separates themselves … As I've said before, I feel very good about both quarterbacks, we can win with both of them. They've played well enough to date for people to see that, even outside our organization, and hopefully they keep on playing well."
Tue, 07 Dec 2010 09:37:35 -0800 Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth told general manager Bruce Allen Monday, Dec. 6, that he would no longer speak with head coach Mike Shanahan, according to Rick Maese, of The Washington Post.
Mon, 22 Nov 2010 18:48:50 -0800 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said Monday, Nov. 22, that he is "98 percent sure" FS LaRon Landry (Achilles') will be unable to play in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Joseph White of The Associated Press.
Mon, 22 Nov 2010 18:41:40 -0800 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said Monday, Nov. 22, he was optimistic CB Carlos Rogers (hamstring) might return in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Joseph White of The Associated Press. Shanahan said he'll "get a feel" during practice this week whether Rogers can return. Rogers was inactive in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans.
Tue, 16 Nov 2010 07:58:51 -0800 Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, not head coach Mike Shanahan, was the one responsible for benching QB Donovan McNabb in Week 8, according to multiple sources, reports Michael Wilbon, of The Washington Post. Kyle, not Mike, is the coach who has issues with McNabb.
Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:08:52 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said QB Donovan McNabb is not in good enough shape to run a two-minute offense without using timeouts, according to The Associated Press. Shanahan also considered not playing McNabb at all in the team's Week 8 game. Shanahan said McNabb has been dealing with hamstring issues for five weeks and did not have the "cardiovascular endurance" to stay on the field with time expiring.
Mon, 01 Nov 2010 11:22:09 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said TE Chris Cooley (ankle, back) was dealing with a sore ankle along with back spasms in Week 8 but was able to return later in the game, reports Rick Maese, of The Washington Post.
Wed, 06 Oct 2010 12:14:57 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said RB Clinton Portis (groin) will miss four to six weeks with a third degree separation of his groin, reports The Washington Post. Fantasy Tip: Portis' injury means that Ryan Torain should be the main back for the Redskins for the next four weeks, at least. Torain rushed for 70 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4. This injury solidifies Torain's value as a top acquisition this week. Chad Simpson and Keiland Williams could receive some carries while Portis is out, but they should not be considered as ownable at this time. If owners are desperate for a roster spot because of injuries or bye weeks, they should strongly consider cutting Portis.
Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:48:23 -0700 The Washington Redskins have gauged trade interest in DL Albert Haynesworth from his former team, the Tennessee Titans, reports ESPN's Chris Mortensen, according to team sources. It is at least the second occasion the Redskins have had discussions regarding Haynesworth with the Titans since head coach Mike Shanahan arrived in January. The Titans definitely would welcome back Haynesworth, a team source said, but maintained that the Redskins' asking price was still too high. The Redskins are believed to want at least two draft picks for Haynesworth.
Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:05:54 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan and DT Albert Haynesworth appear to have ended their feud, reports The Associated Press. Shanahan said, "I think everybody would like to be liked, that's part of being a head football coach. But you want to be respected as well. I've got a job to do, and Albert's got a job to do, and his job is to be the best football player he can possibly be, and it's my job to see to it." Haynesworth joked Friday, Aug. 27, that he was heading to Shanahan's house for dinner and a cigar and that he didn't remember his remarks from the week before.
Mon, 23 Aug 2010 04:15:58 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said DL Albert Haynesworth must practice if he wants to play in games this season, according to Thomas George, of NFL FanHouse. "One thing for sure that is clear to me is that Albert has gotten away in the past with playing without practicing," Shanahan said. "That will not happen under this regime. If he's going to play, he's going to practice, and that is the same with every player here. The days of him playing without practicing are over. And that, to me, says it all." As far as the condition that Haynesworth is reported to possibly have - rhabdomyolysis - that concerns muscle fiber damage, Shanahan said he was not aware of that.
Sat, 14 Aug 2010 04:30:55 -0700 Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth did not spend much time describing his relationship with head coach Mike Shanahan, which would appear to indicate the two are not on the best of terms, according to Rick Maese, of The Washington Post. "He's a head coach, I'm a player," Haynesworth said. "That's what it is."
Tue, 03 Aug 2010 03:57:58 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said Monday, Aug. 2, he may consider letting DL Albert Haynesworth practice at some point if he continues to fail the conditioning test, reports Jason Reid, of The Washington Post.

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 04:57:19 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said during a radio interview that he expects DL Albert Haynesworth to arrive at training camp in great shape despite missing all offseason workouts and voicing his displeasure regarding his role on the defense, according to NFL.com. "...We expect him to come in in great shape and do the things that he's capable of doing. And hopefully he does that," Shanahan said. "He hasn't shown up for minicamp, so guys are gonna be looking at him, to see what type of shape he's in, if he's willing to do the little things the right way. And time will tell. If he is buying in, and he is in great shape, we know what type of talent he is, and we know he can help our football team win."
Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:10:41 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan is a big fan of San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson, according to Bill Williamson, of ESPN.com.

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 04:36:23 -0700 The Washington Redskins' current roster features 13 linebackers, according to CBSSports.com.

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:57:57 -0700 Jason La Canfora, of NFL.com, reports Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth has been upset with the team since head coach Mike Shanahan told the lineman that he wanted him to clog space in the middle and that if he got more than two sacks in a season, something was wrong. Haynesworth views himself as a defensive tackle who attacks opposing quarterbacks.
Sat, 10 Apr 2010 07:19:49 -0700 Thomas George, of NFL Fanhouse, reports Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he could use Florida QB Tim Tebow on special teams initially if the team were to select him in the NFL Draft due to his size and physicality. "I think the guy is such a competitor. Wherever he ends up playing he will do a good job," Shanahan said. "He is such a worker. How are you going to use him? How long will you give him to develop? He is such an athlete. You know he is going to work. Maybe you put him on special teams. He has the size of a linebacker or tight end. He is not afraid of hitting people. It's a way to use him more and early on the 45-man roster. I wouldn't hesitate to do that.''

I am just looking for him to come in and work and be like everyone else," Shanahan said. "No, we're not going to trade him at all, unless someone gives us something we would have to consider - that's pretty standard with any player on your roster. He's a pretty smart guy. He's really talented. I think I can get that out of him.''

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 08:24:30 -0700 Dan Steinberg, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth said during a radio interview that the arrival of new head coach Mike Shanahan should bring structure back to the organization. "We had too many chiefs and not enough Indians," Haynesworth said, referring to the coaching staff. "That's kind of what it was, everybody wanting to be that guy. It was kind of a little ridiculous. Now we've got one chief, and some Indians to follow him ... Now you've got a respected coach in there, I think it'll get back to the normal NFL norm."
Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:52:18 -0700 Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan are installing a much more advanced west coach offense than the one former head coach Jim Zorn ran the past two seasons.

"You just see how professional it is and guys are doing things the right way," Campbell said. "Usually in the past, guys wouldn't be focused like this right now. A lot of guys who showed up (for the voluntary offseason conditioning program) wouldn't be here in the past. And even in the weight room, a lot of guys just used to do their own thing. But it's all structured now. There's a plan for everything we're doing."
