Quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh began his tenure with the Washington Redskins last year and, much like a rookie or free agent moving to a new team, had to play some catchup.
“I don’t care how long you’ve been doing it [coaching] and I have been doing it for a while, you feel a little behind,” Cavanaugh said. “You aren’t quite sure how everything is supposed to sound and you are trying to visualize a play when it’s called and a split-second have an answer for the quarterback when he makes a decision.”
Joining a team that switched starting quarterbacks right before the regular season didn’t particularly make his job easy, which is why he, and the entire organization, is feeling a lot more comfortable as the 2016 season approaches.
