Redskins getting Mark Sanchez ready with sleep pods, flash cards

ASHBURN, Va. -- During a team meeting earlier this week, Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden singled out quarterback Mark Sanchez for a minute detail that, to him, was actually a big deal. And he wanted it known just how big.

“Sanchez!” Gruden said, “Get in front of a mirror and do your cadence 100 times tonight!”

As the Redskins try to stay in the playoff race with an injury-ravaged offense, they were tasked with not only crafting a game plan, but returning to the basics to get their quarterbacks -- Mark Sanchez and Josh Johnson -- ready for a game.
