Four decades ago, George Allen, the father of current Washington Redskins team president Bruce Allen, coined the "Future is Now" slogan for the Redskins. It’s no longer used, but it always applies in Washington.
Redskins coach Jay Gruden understands that well.
“I don’t think patience is in the dictionary here in D.C.,” Gruden said. “We have to be good now. We were 9-7 two years ago; 8-7-1 last year. Expectations are high. They’re always high for this area, and we have to perform.”
