Jets | Impressed with two rookies
New York Jets defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman has spoken highly of rookie S Calvin Pryor and CB Dexter McDougle, but he’s not handing out any starting jobs just yet. Thurman said SS Dawan Landry will always have a key role on defense.
Footballguys View: The Jets learned last year not to bring their defensive backs along too quickly, having had to throttle back their use of Dee Milliner until he got settled late in the season. Pryor isn’t banged up like Milliner was, and has a good chance of ending up in that starting strong safety spot, while McDougle is a guy who needs some reps and will likely rotate in for some time. Both are big hitters though, so we expect to see the Jets use them to enforce the middle of the field, something the defense has struggled with for years.

Redskins | Robert Griffin working on mechanics
Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III, who spent part of the offseason working out with quarterback guru Terry Shea, has been focusing on using a quicker release – more over the top – and having a more narrow base when he throws. Head coach Jay Gruden said the team has harped on Griffin’s fundamentals, and he likes how Griffin has responded. ‘This is all a learning process for him,’ Gruden said. ‘It’s important for him to take natural strides every day and get better. The thing about Robert is that is his intent when he comes to work every day. He’s a sponge for information.’

Redskins | DeSean Jackson, Robert Griffin building chemistry
Washington Redskins WR DeSean Jackson and QB Robert Griffin III continue to build chemistry during organized team activities this week. ‘Our chemistry right now is a work in progress,’ said Jackson, who tweaked his left hamstring and sat out part of practice but said afterward he was fine. ‘The more we get out here and keep working and staying after practice and running routes and getting our timing down, I think sooner or later we’ll be in great shape.’
