Riverboat Ron on the Radio

Redskins Head Coach Ron Rivera along with Kyle Smith have been pounding out free agent acquisitions and roster moves at a dizzying rate over the last week.
Washington had traded top corner Quinton Dunbar, signed two running backs in J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber, two tight ends Logan Thomas and Richard Rogers, two offensive linemen Cornelius Lucas and Wes Schweitzer, and three linebackers Kevin Pierre Louis, Thomas Davis and Jon Bostic. Oh don't forget about Kendall Fuller and Sean Davis.
My head is spinning. Yours is too. It's OK.
The Redskins had a ton of needs and have filled many but certainly far from all holes.
Even with all of that on his plate, he still found some time to join WFNZ-Charlotte and Kyle Bailey on Tuesday for a chat.
Listen to the entire interview here starting at about the 16-minute mark.
A big topic for Panthers fans and of national interest is Cam Newton.
Ron Rivera says on WFNZ that there was no interest from Washington in Cam Newton.

"We have a young football team with a young QB. We have a chance to establish this. Where we are right now we made a commitment to young guys."
On the Redskins quarterback situation after they acquired Kyle Allen on Monday.
Ron Rivera on @wfnz talking about Kyle Allen: "Kyle fits what we do. He understands what I'm looking for and what Scotty (Scott Turner) is looking for."

He adds that Haskins and Allen will compete. "Nobody knows what will happen."
Is Dwayne Haskins the starter?
Host: "Is Dwayne Haskins your starting QB -- is that what you're going into camp believing -- or are these guys going to compete?"

Rivera: "That's what we're going into camp believing, but they're going to compete."
Rivera also spoke about the complicated draft process especially if the NFL doesn't loosen restrictions or postpone the dates of the draft.
Rivera regarding the NFL Draft: "You're going to have to rely on your scouts and what they've been doing on the scouts for at least three years. ...Now you're going to see just how good your scouting departments are."
