Redskins: Quotes from OTA - Mike Shanahan, Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins

(May 24, 2013) - The Washington Redskins held their first full-team practice open to the media since the first week in January and the focus of attention was quarterback Robert Griffin III and his knee. Here are quotes from coach Mike Shanahan, Griffin and quarterback Kirk Cousins:

Executive Vice President/Head Coach Mike Shanahan

On quarterback Robert Griffin III saying he wants to be ready for training camp:

“Well, we’re hoping that he’s ready for training camp. He’s been working extremely hard like we’ve talked about in the past. I think you guys could see today that he’s been throwing for a while. His arm is in pretty good shape. It looks like he’s making a lot of progress.”;

On how closely he watches Griffin III:

“I’ll take a look at film each day, drills he’s going through and how he’s throwing the ball and exactly what he’s doing. You want to make sure that he doesn’t overdo it, and so that’s one of the reasons why you look at the film. But he’s in there getting a lot of treatment, in the weight room every day, doing the things that he needs to do. I think you could see today he’s been throwing the ball for a while. You can see his arm is feeling quite well. So it’s a process.”;
