RG3 shows progress at Redskins training camp

buzzz worthy. . .

By Mona Austin

Robert Griffin III has gone “back to the basics”says Redskins Head Coach Jay Graven.

The Washington Redskins are getting ready for some footbaaaallllllll!

Redskins training camp has started in Richmond, VA and Robert Griffin, III (RG3) is shaping up as the starting QB this season.  The Skins started training last week and despite rumors that the former Baylor U star was getting the axe for a sluggish performance over the past couple of seasons due to injuries, he'll be leading the way.  After three seasons, the pressure for Griffin to prove he is worth his $16.2 million paycheck is high.

"We'll go into the season with Robert as our No. 1 guy," Coach Jay Gruden said at this year's Combine in February. "It's up to Robert to continue to grow and mature as a quarterback and as a person. Moving forward we want to see improvement. It's up to us as a staff to get more out of him."

Coach Gaven has been testing Griffin's readiness over the last five days and told reporters Wednesday, so far his leading man's progress is on par with his expectations.

"He's been doing fine.  We're going back to the basics.  It's all about repetition now," sad Graven.

The Redskins opened training camp at the Bon Secours training compound in on July 30. They have been interacting with the media and community groups outside of practicing. They have canceled a walkthrough session previously scheduled for 4:10 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 7 an will face an opposing team tomorrow.  The team’s open joint practice session with the Houston Texans at 8:35 a.m. on Friday remains planned as scheduled.

The Washington Redskins will confront the Miami Dolphins on September 13 in their first regular season game.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
