RICHMOND — The sturdy, silver lunch pail rests conspicuously on the sidelines, gleaming in the mid-summer afternoon sun. Keenan Robinson wants everyone to see it. He wants his fellow linebackers to know that it’s time to put in a solid day’s work.
“I’m a guy that doesn’t need to be reminded, but I bring it to remind other guys,” Robinson said. “Every day, we’ve got to bring our lunch pail, just come ready to work, and this is an opportunity each and every day when we step on the field.”
For all the tumult that struck the Washington Redskins‘ defense during the offseason, between the coaching changes, free agent signings and adjustment in philosophy, no group was less affected than the Redskins‘ inside linebackers.
