"Going back to defense is easy for me," Alexander said. "That's where I started and I fit right back in. But we'll see how it goes. In training camp and the preseason games, I might get some run on the offensive line, too."
Bugel Keeps It Going
Offensive line coach Joe Bugel is beginning his 31st season in the NFL, and he doesn't see his streak ending anytime soon. Bugel started his career as an offensive line coach with the Detroit Lions in 1975 and joined the Redskins in 1981, when he began molding the decade's dominating offensive lines. Starting in 2002, he took a two-year absence from football before rejoining the Redskins in his current capacity.
"I'm probably good until I'm 85. Maybe 100," he said. "I love those guys [I'm coaching]. I love being around them. They keep me young. They keep me vibrant. I tried to retire one time. I didn't enjoy it too much."

Cornerback Shawn Springs was not present for any of the final eight OTA sessions. Running back Clinton Portis and defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin were excused from OTAs this week and wide receiver Santana Moss missed the final two practices with the flu. . . . Zorn said he does not have a full day off planned for the players until after the preseason opener Aug. 3 against Indianapolis at the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. The players will get one evening off during the first two weeks of camp, Zorn said. . . . The Redskins did not employ referees during these OTA practices and Zorn said he will use officials only sparingly during training camp. Former coach Joe Gibbs had a team of referees on the field for every session. . . . The team signed safety Chris Horton, a seventh-round draft pick from UCLA and the first of this season's picks to sign, and released safety Justin Hamilton.
