Granted, we weren’t outside running routes in the sweltering heat with pads on our shoulders. And we weren’t lined up in the trenches, pushing and shoving with 250 to 300-pound men. The Washington Redskins were. So perhaps, it’s a break well-deserved.
As well-deserved as it might be, however, the break ends tomorrow. The Redskins will have a couple more days off over the course of the preseason, but once the regular season hits, it’ll be a grind for seventeen weeks. No exceptions.
The Redskins know this well; they’ve been the victim of the grind too many times.
