Q&A With Redskins President Bruce Allen

Excerpts from Redskins President Bruce Allen from an Oct. 7 press conference. Edited for length.

Why the fans should have confidence in upper management:

“I don’t believe anybody is hiding from their record. Our goal is to obviously change that . . . When you’re around this building enough, you can feel the passion of these players. You can feel the ability of these players and you can see the coaches working their tails off to try and come up with a winning game plan.”

On if the quarterback decision will be made by Head Coach Bill Callahan:

“It’ll be up to coach Callahan who plays at any position the same way it was up to coach [Jay] Gruden on who’s going to play. We’re thrilled to have [quarterback] Dwayne [Haskins Jr.] here. We think his future is very bright. Whatever gives Coach Callahan the formula for success I’m sure he’s going to do.”
