What is Commanders rookie Josh Conerly's takeaway from first NFL practice?

"You have to know your stuff and know it fast."

That is apparently what has made a big impression on Commanders' first-round draft choice (29th overall), Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly. I say this because he was later asked, "Since you've gotten here to Washington, what have you learned about the style of play from Dan Quinn and what this coaching staff wants from not you specifically, but everything that's currently being built here in Washington?"

Without hesitating, Conerly replied, "That it moves fast, and I'm pretty used to that too."

What does Conerly hope to get out of these three days?
