‘FitzMagic’ part 9: Fitzpatrick takes reins as Washington QB
Associated PressASHBURN, Va. — Ryan Fitzpatrick and his magnificent beard plan to lead Washington on to the field for the season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 12. “As we get going into the season and having those defined roles and being able to really take all the reps and work on all the little nuances with different guys, that’s when everything really gets heightened and becomes a big deal,” Fitzpatrick said. “Fitz’s experience and his overall knowledge — football knowledge, football acumen — really just said, ‘Wow, this guy’s really got it together,’” Rivera said. “To me, managing a game and making the right decisions, it doesn’t necessarily mean just dinking and dunking and throwing short passes,” Fitzpatrick said. “This as a great opportunity for me — one that maybe I haven’t even had an opportunity like this in my career,” Fitzpatrick said.
