Before last Wednesday’s practice, the first of the week for the Washington Redskins in their preparations for the New Orleans Saints, defensive captain Dashon Goldson wanted to make a point.
Instead of breaking off into their usual positional drill routine following the opening stretching portion of practice led by head strength and conditioning coach Mike Clark, the players huddled together at the middle of the field in the indoor practice facility at Redskins Park in Loudoun County, Va.
Goldson made it clear that the team has an opportunity in a wide-open NFC East this year.
