ASHBURN, Va. -- One day last week, as he was watching film, Washington Redskins safety D.J. Swearinger noticed something along the defensive front. It made him smile. The young fellas, Jonathan Allen and Da'Ron Payne, weren’t being moved despite two blockers trying their best.
It was only a drill in the spring. Still, it was a welcome sight for Swearinger and the Redskins’ defense.
“I seen both taking on double-teams and not moving an inch,” he said. “That’s impressive.”
That’s what Swearinger wants to see this season when players are in pads.
