Redskins' offense ready to pounce on mismatches vs. Jordan Reed

RICHMOND, Va. -- The play triggered a mini-controversy, but was another example of making a change at the line of scrimmage for the better. It happened in a red zone drill when the Redskins' first-team offense was facing the No. 1 defense.

With tight end Jordan Reed aligned in a tight slot position to the right and running back Chris Thompson split further outside, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins pounced on a defensive move. When safety DeAngelo Hall walked up to the line of scrimmage across from Reed, Cousins called an audible.
