ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins were reluctant to make the switch early last season, until success and perhaps a little pressure changed their minds. So they started to let corner Josh Norman shadow the opposition’s best receiver.
There won’t be any hesitancy to use that tactic this season, but it doesn’t mean they always will.
"It's hard for them to travel at times, but will we do that? Yeah,” Redskins defensive coordinator Greg Manusky said.
The Redskins were criticized for not letting Norman shadow Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown in a season-opening loss.
