ASHBURN Ugo Amadi Jersey , Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins‘ constantly changing personnel reminded cornerback Josh Norman of a game show.“It’s like watching ‘Jeopardy,'” Norman said as players cleaned out their lockers on Monday. “You watch ‘Jeopardy?’ When you watch it, do you see the same people?”There were plenty of new and unfamiliar faces for Washington this season. Despite racing out to a 6-3 start behind a strong defense and the steady play of quarterback Alex Smith, the Redskins eventually placed a league-high 24 players on injured reserve — including Smith and his backup, Colt McCoy, both of whom suffered broken legs — while losing six of their final seven games to finish 7-9 for the second straight season.Coach Jay Gruden said as of Monday afternoon, he had not yet talked to owner Dan Snyder or anyone else in the organization about his future or the jobs of his coaching staff.“When you’re 7-9, whether you have injuries or not, it’s not good enough for this franchise,” Gruden said. “Mr. Snyder demands greatness from his staff and his players and we didn’t deliver.”Gruden said he didn’t want to use injuries as an excuse, but added that it was “impossible” to fully evaluate his players, particularly at quarterback, where the Redskins had four different starters. They finished the season with Josh Johnson, who had last started an NFL game in 2011.Washington has missed the playoffs in three consecutive seasons and in four of Gruden’s five years in charge. Gruden is the longest-tenured coach since Snyder bought the team in 1997, compiling a 35-44-1 record.Uncertainty surrounds veterans Norman http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-drew-sample-jersey , Jamison Crowder, Jordan Reed, Mason Foster, Zach Brown and Adrian Peterson, among others.Peterson, the 33-year-old running back picked up on Aug. 20 to help ease the loss of second-round draft pick Derrius Guice to injury, was one of the bright spots for the Redskins. He led the team with 1,042 yards rushing and seven touchdowns.“I only can control the things I can control and I felt like I’ve done that somewhat, so I’ll sit back and let the chips fall where they may,” Peterson said about his future.As for Smith, there’s no guarantee the 34-year-old quarterback will ever play again after he suffered a compound fracture that required multiple surgeries and a long hospital stay to fight off an infection. The Redskins acquired Smith in a trade with Kansas City after allowing Kirk Cousins to leave in free agency.“We’re obviously hopeful he can turn a corner and start the rehab process and possibly get back on the field,” Gruden said. “That’s all we can hope for right now.”Team president Bruce Allen infamously said after the 2014 season the Redskins were “winning off the field.” They had their fair share of problems once again in that department.The Redskins, who are 59-84-1 in Allen’s nine years on the job, finally acknowledged the end of their decades-long sellout streak as crowds continued to dwindle at FedEx Field. They also received harsh criticism for singing free agent Reuben Foster following his arrest for domestic violence, placed second year safety Montae Nicholson on the non-football injury reserve list following a late-season arrest http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/trayvon-mullen-jersey , released Pro Bowl alternate D.J. Swearinger on Christmas Eve after Swearinger repeatedly complained about defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, and fired several business executives on Dec. 26 after less than a year on the job.Somehow, Washington was still in playoff contention until a Week 16 loss at Tennessee. The Redskins concluded the season with a 24-0 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles that felt like a road game as traveling Philly fans nearly filled up the lower bowl at FedEx Field.As to Norman’s future with the team as a player — or contestant, as he put it — the once-coveted cornerback felt that he was better than his three interceptions showed.“Whenever they decide to have a meeting, we’ll see,” Norman said. “I think it’s one of my best seasons yet, and we don’t grow on trees. So we’ll see what happens.” CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — When he was 8 years old, Brian Burns celebrated when his older brother Stanley McGlover was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the seventh round.Thirteen years later, McGlover returned the favor when the Panthers selected Burns, a defensive end from Florida State, with the 16th overall pick in the NFL draft.“Pretty cool, right?” Burns said Thursday night.Burns said McGlover could barely breathe when the announcement was made, joking that “he’s probably more excited than me. He’s going through it right now. He loves it.”The Panthers drafted Burns to bolster a pass rush that finished 27th in the league in sacks last season. They hope he can become a long-term replacement for likely future Hall of Famer Julius Peppers, whom Burns met as a young boy when he attended a Panthers game to watch his brother play.Burns said it’s crazy to think he’s now viewed as Peppers’ replacement in Carolina.“I am glad to fill those shoes http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/isaiah-johnson-jersey ,” Burns said.The Panthers knew they needed to upgrade at defensive end after losing Charles Johnson and Peppers — the franchise’s top two pass rushers ever — to retirement the last two offseasons.Burns said he had a hunch the Panthers would draft him after Peppers announced his retirement in February.“As soon as he retired I put it together and was like, man, this is going to be crazy if they take me,” Burns said.The first thing that stood out to Panthers coach Ron Rivera when he watched Burns on tape is how quickly he gets off the line of scrimmage.In Rivera’s eyes, he does that faster than everyone else in the draft.Rivera compared him to current Panthers defensive Mario Addison, another speed rusher who has 39 ½ sacks over the past three seasons for Carolina.“He’s very similar (to Addison) as he has that elite get off and those long arms,” Rivera said. “He will be a great complement to the group of guys we have in that defensive line room.”Added general manager Marty Hurney: “The combination of his speed, his change of direction and his ability to stop on a dime and redirect. And then his length. He uses his (arm) length to set the edge on the run.”Burns planned to celebrate by attending a midnight screening of the movie “Avengers: Endgame.”But he’s eager to get to work as soon as possible.“I’m hungry for knowledge and I want to learn,” Burns said. “I want to be coached.”Rivera wouldn’t say if he expects Burns to start right away, instead saying he expects he will fit into the rotation.The 6-foot-5, 249-pound Burns had 15 1/2 tackles for loss and 10 sacks to go along with 52 tackles last season as an every down player. Burns also broke up three passes and forced three fumbles and earned first team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors.He burst on the scene in 2017 when he had two sacks and 4 ½ tackles against Clemson. He finished with career with 124 tackles and 24 sacks for the Seminoles.Burns was the fifth defensive end taken in the first 16 picks of the draft.Rivera said if there is one thing Burns needs to learn its defeating the blocker at the point of attack before trying to find the ball.“Focus in on the guy who is attacking you, finish him off and then go make the play,” Rivera said. “He wants to get to the ball so quickly.”The Panthers are looking to rebound from a disappointing season in which they lost seven of their last eight games to fall out of playoff contention and finish 7-9.Carolina has three picks on Friday night — one in the second round (No. 47 overall) and two in the third (No. 77 and No. 100). Among their most pressing needs is to find an offensive tackle.
