The Washington Redskins got blown out on Monday night at the hands of the New Orleans Saints and after the game Redskins safety D.J Swearinger was not in a joking around mood. Swearinger said he wants to see a better commitment from the team and thinks that since coming to the team the culture hasn't been up to par with some of the other teams he has been with.

D.J. Swearinger thinks the team does too much joking around at practice and sometimes aren't serious enough, and it leads to results like Monday night.

“That’s been the history of the Redskins,” Swearinger said, via Richmond.com. “I’ve been preaching, trying to change the culture. But it takes all 53 players with the same mindset. Not only the 53, but all of us in this together. Coaches and players have to have the same mindset that we’ve got a championship team. We go to practice, there shouldn’t be any [freaking] joking around. Shouldn’t be any more joking around from nobody. We got blew out. Shouldn’t have any more playing or joking around. When it comes to work tomorrow, we need to be all business.”

A lot of the time the problems start at the top and run throughout the entire organization and maybe that is the issue the Reskins are running into. There have been a lot of missteps with the organization and a lot are talking about the quarterback change made this offseason.

The Redskins traded a first round pick for Alex Smith and let Kirk Cousins walk. Cousins has played well for the Minnesota Vikings while Smith has left a lot to be desired.
