Sometimes I wish Swearinger would just be quiet. This isn't one of those times:

Also that one game we did win out of the last 4, the D still gave up 500 yards, Tampa kept shooting themselves in the foot. Idk who's to blame but it's not like the D has been injured like the offense has.

"That's why we don't get respect as the Redskins -- we don't do the simple s--- right," Swearinger said. "We do the simple s--- right, I guarantee you we get respect. So we don't need no damn respect. I see why we get disrespected, 'cause we don't win the big game. We gotta win the big game. Only way you win the big game is you prepare for the big game. That's every day. And that's gotta be in your heart."
"That laughing s---, man, that s--- for the birds when you're losing," Swearinger said. "If you're losing, if you ain't no championship team, it ain't no reason coming in the building and laughing -- unless it don't mean that much to you. Unless you're just doing it for the money. But if you're doing it from the heart, that s--- gonna mean something to you when you walk in that building after you lost two games in a row. It's gonna mean something to you.

Is it the coaching? Are players just playing for the check? No easy answers here. Only obvious problem I see is HHCD isn't ready, which should be obvious. Guys get months to train and prepare, OTA's, training camp, preseason games to learn schemes. Asking a guy to cram all that into a week is tomfoolery.
