The Texans and Redskins had been practicing together since Thursday.

And not only has this altercation been captured on a Redskins staffer’s iPhone for the world to see, it’ll likely be the best part of the season premiere of HBO’s Hard Knocks next week.
Gruden said he will reconsider “going three straight days in pads” against another team for joint practices in the future. Baker said that when he removed his helmet and confronted the player, the player hit him with a right hook and a brawl ensued. Sadly, the second-to-last play of the Super Bowl ended with a melee between players on the field and some who ran in from the sidelines. It even looks like stars Robert Griffin III and J.J. Watt were involved in the scrums.
“We all have the same mentality”, Moses said. Is that too much to ask? “Coach Callahan teaches that it’s all about technique and fundamentals”. He’s got the best first step of any of the OLBs and every time I see him, he’s closing in on the quarterback. Now he has a similar player in Brandon Scherff, who I’m sure he’s seeing similarities to during training camp practices. Texans running back Kenny Hilliard ran over Redskins safety Kyshoen Jarrett.
An unnamed assailant (Jadeveon Clowney?) came onto the field in street clothes and shoved a player before retreating and being scolded by his coach. Hilarious, and a little uncomfortable.
There’s no way Dissinger’s crew could’ve planned for Saturday morning’s brawl. I’ll put the quotes below leaving names out for the moment.
“I think I’m finding my niche”, he said.
“Obviously, it wasn’t a good situation, but we missed an opportunity to get better today against a good team”. Unfortunately, we didn’t get it done. “I think the day that you start to get complacent, the day that you start to feel like you’ve made it is the day that you begin your decline”.
I got into writing back in 2007 because I had a little spare time on my hands and love to express myself through words. The third day in shorts there is no way they can really fight cause there is no contact…. It’s intense out there.
It’s just too bad the two teams don’t face off in regular season…
Eventually both teams were separated and work continued with the Redskins and Texans having intersquad work.
“I’m proud of how aggressive we were”, Paul said. It was good. Absolutely.
Things seemed to settle down until what was considered a violent tackle during practice resulted in the main eruption. And thankfully, you have Coach Number Two.

Texans wide receiver Deandre Hopkins later tweeted out: “Sorry bout the violence @ESPNNFL but we don’t take s–!” Could his return help Washington get back on track?
