3. The Redskins have committed 18 penalties in the first two preseason games, with three unnecessary roughness penalties in the first half (two by DeJon Gomes). Even Fletcher was called for one, on the second play from scrimmage. Fletcher pushed Pouncey to the ground drawing the foul (for some reason, I initially thought it was the tight end, but it was indeed the center). As a captain, he must be more mindful of his actions. Nobody knows this more than Fletcher.

It's my biggest complaint with Shanahan. No discipline. Leading the league in penalties has to stop if we ever want to be a contender. You can't keep winning football games if you shoot yourself in the foot over and over again. It'll eventually catch up to you once your luck wears out.
