Of course, everyone's situation will be taking into context here, including mine and my future here," Gibbs said.

Tue, 08 May 2007 16:02:34 -0700 Joseph White, of The Associated Press, reports Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs has decided to change the policy he has used for a long time. Gibbs made all of the team activities and practices voluntary until the mandatory minicamp in June. Gibbs said he would try anything to get an improvement from the 5-11 record in 2006. Some of the players who took advantage of the time off include RB Clinton Portis, FS Sean Taylor, WR Santana Moss and WR Brandon Lloyd.
Sat, 05 May 2007 09:51:44 -0700 Jason La Canfora, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs said the team has not considered signing free-agent WR Keyshawn Johnson (Panthers).
Tue, 01 May 2007 19:15:58 -0700 Gary Fitzgerald, of Redskins.com, reports Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs is comfortable with the team's defensive line. Gibbs said the team did not feel any sense of urgency to add defensive lineman during the draft, and hopes better talent in the secondary will help improve the team's sack totals. "When you look at the overall structure of the defense, what we felt hurt us last year with the pass rush, a lot of it was the coverage. That was the problem for us. With the guys we added at corner [in free agency] and now what we added at safety, hopefully what we can do is play much tighter coverage and much better coverage. It's going to force [quarterbacks] to hold the ball," Gibbs said.
Mon, 16 Apr 2007 11:19:21 -0700 Gary Fitzgerald, of Redskins.com, reports the Washington Redskins are hoping to improve in the red zone in 2007. Last season, the Redskins scored 21 touchdowns in 42 opportunities in the red zone - a 50 percent clip. "I'd sure like to see us have someone make some individual plays and get us in the end zone," head coach Joe Gibbs said. "When the field gets tightened up like that, it takes someone to make a big individual play. I'd say (the red zone) is one area where we haven't run the ball as well as we would have liked, too."

Head coach Joe Gibbs and assistant Gregg Williams have not offered an explanation for the benching. Archuleta said, "Do I deserve an explanation? I don't know if an explanation matters anymore because what's done is done. I pretty much know what's going on. I pretty much know what it all stems from." Archuleta did not go into detail, but he added he hopes the team will be more upfront with him when they meet for exit interviews next week. "I'm a grown man. I don't like getting lied to," Archuleta added. "All people want is for people to be straight up with them. I don't mind bad news. I don't mind negativity. I don't mind if somebody says to my face what my flaws are and what I'm doing wrong and what kind of person they think I am." Archuleta was signed in March to the richest contract for a safety in NFL history.
Tue, 19 Dec 2006 11:18:02 -0800 Jason La Canfora, of the Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs plans to use both RBs Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts often in 2007.

"We feel great about those two guys carrying the ball for us," Gibbs said. "They've been great partners in the past. Clinton leads off and Ladell had a huge portion of the offense and what he's done this year has been great -- great for him and great for us."

One source close to Gibbs said, "The only way he goes is if he has a health issue. But that hasn't been an issue at all. He's on the treadmill every single day.

On one play, Redskins RB Clinton Portis was given a 15-yard taunting penalty after he appeared to spin the ball in the face of Texans LB DeMeco Ryans.

Mon, 21 Aug 2006 20:47:31 -0700 Gary Fitzgerald, of Redskins.com, reports the Washington Redskins intensified their practice Monday, Aug. 21, after head coach Joe Gibbs voiced his displeasure with the team's effort Saturday, Aug .19, in their loss to the New York Jets. WR Brandon Lloyd said, "We thought it was going to be a light day, but it was definitely faster paced. There wasn't as much rest time between plays and there were higher repetitions."

After reviewing tape of the game Sunday, Aug. 20, Gibbs added, " Special teams -- very poor showing. We gave up a lot of yards rushing. ... Our third downs were 3-for-11, very poor. ... I thought we would get a great effort playing extremely hard coming home, and we play a game like that. It does a number of things to you. You get upset about it."

"Obviously, when you're at 53, you need to calculate who will be there," Gibbs said. "I think you could always move up, and when you get through with your final calculations you have to decide if it's smart. We've had some people talk to us about it, but it is not very likely we'll be able to do something."

Gibbs said, "Right now, for anybody in this organization - I would hope in the entire town - to be focused on anything other than Philly would be ridiculous. We're getting ready to play the most important game that a lot of our players will play. ... If we lose the game, we're not going anywhere. So my mind-set is on one thing, Philadelphia. That's the way I feel about it."

Gibbs said, "You get emotional, you get carried away with things and you say things that you wish you hadn't said." He went on to say, "I never feel like the referees cost you a game. You play your way out of a game. It's never one play, it's never one call. Everyone who was in that game, including me, that was making calls, could have won the game somehow. An official is never going to cost us a game, in my opinion."
