D.J. Swearinger Teaches His Tricks At The 'Get Right Meeting'

A defensive captain in his first season in Washington, safety D.J. Swearinger is setting a tone that is rubbing off on some of the team's younger players.

It’s called the “Get Right Meeting.”

Many Redskins defensive players gather weekly — at the Inova Sports Performance Center at Redskins Park in Loudoun County, Va., 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.
