Jim Zorn says that Colt Brennan needs to improve his accuracy?

May 3, 2009

Asked about Colt’s progress during mini-camp, Jim Zorn said:
“He’s moving better and he’s throwing harder than he did when he first got here last year. He’s learning the offense. He didn’t have a lot of reps last year, so now he’s actually under fire.” (redskins.com)

Asked what Colt needs to improve on this year, Zorn said:
“Accuracy. And just the knowledge of the offense. As he gets to know our offense better, he’ll become a better player.” (redskins.com)

Eric Mangini praised David Veikune

MN = Maui News

Happy how Veikune has done in their practices, Eric Mangini said:
“I’ve been really happy with what I’ve seen. He’s fluid for someone his size, and someone who has limited exposure to standing up.” (MN)

About how they are converting Veikune from DE to LB, Mangini said:
“He looked more like a linebacker than a guy converting from defensive end.” (MN)

David Veikune will be used first at inside LB

TT = Tribune Today

About how they will first test David Veikune at inside LB (not OLB as had been thought previously), Eric Mangini said:
“That’s our starting point. So far it’s been positive.” (TT)

TT Note: “Veikune cost Mangini money on a bet made at a Saturday morning meeting. Mangini asked Veikune to diagram all the blitzes in a certain defense, and he was correct on each one.”
