It’s called the “Get Right Meeting.”

Many Redskins defensive players gather weekly — at the practice facility in Ashburn or at a teammate like Josh Norman’s house on an off day — to watch a bit of extra film and take pointers from leaders like Norman or safety D.J. Swearinger. The purpose is self-explanatory.

“The Get Right Meeting is just to get right,” rookie safety Montae Nicholson said Sunday after Washington’s win against the Raiders.

Last week’s Get Right Meeting featured some extra motivating from Norman and Swearinger, both of whom were irked by the national praise being heaped on the Raiders, the assumption that the Redskins had no chance and some of the trash talking from Oakland’s star players.
