WASHINGTON (AP) — With Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne anchoring the defensive line, and Adrian Peterson hardly looking like a 33-year-old, the Washington Redskins have established what sort of team they are. It's quite a drastic shift from who they've been under coach Jay Gruden until now.
Their defense stops the run — gasp! — and their offense — get this! — moves the ball on the ground.
"It starts up front, in the trenches," Gruden said Monday. "Those big guys are doing a great job."
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Jonathan Allen knows Daron Payne can play through pain, but is glad his former Alabama teammate doesn't have to with the Washington Redskins.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins have paired two Alabama defensive linemen in an effort to upgrade their run defense, drafting Daron Payne to join Jonathan Allen in consecutive year first-round picks.
Allen showed star potential until a foot injury cut his rookie season short in the fifth game. Four picks ahead of where they got Allen, the Redskins thought it best to roll with another Crimson Tide big man by taking Payne.

Prosecutors say they will file nine counts of felony child abuse against the California mother of 10 children who officials say suffered long-term abuse in a filthy home.
FAIRFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Children removed from a squalid California home described acts of intentional abuse that resulted in puncture wounds, burns, bruising and injuries consistent with being shot with a pellet gun, authorities said Monday.
Sharon Henry, chief deputy district attorney for Solano County, said she was "horrified" by the statements from the children and that torture was carried out in the house "for sadistic purposes." She declined to elaborate.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Taking a defensive lineman from Alabama in the first round for the second consecutive year, the Washington Redskins chose tackle Da'Ron Payne with the 13th overall pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night.
The 6-foot-2, 311-pound Payne is considered a top-notch run-stopper, and he'll line up next to former college teammate Jonathan Allen, Washington's initial selection in 2017.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council on Thursday condemned the sale of African migrants into slavery in Libya as "heinous abuses of human rights" that may constitute crimes against humanity.
A presidential statement approved by all 15 council members and read at an open meeting called for speedy investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Rookie defensive lineman Jonathan Allen isn't returning to the Washington Redskins lineup any time soon, a blow to their revamped defense but one they believe they can survive.
The team put the first-round pick on injured reserve Thursday after he underwent surgery to repair a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot. Coach Jay Gruden said there's "absolutely" a chance Allen can return this season despite the usually long timeframe to get back from this kind of operation.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Washington Redskins rookie defensive lineman Jonathan Allen has a Lisfranc sprain in his foot and will miss some time, according to coach Jay Gruden.
Allen could miss three or four weeks, Gruden said while providing injury updates Monday. Gruden said kicker Dustin Hopkins has a hip injury that could also cause him to miss the Redskins' upcoming game at the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles and that they'll work out some free agent kickers this week.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — When the Washington Redskins turned over almost half their starting defense from last season, coach Jay Gruden didn't know how it would go.
"You're never quite sure until they get here," Gruden said.
The Redskins' defensive newcomers are here, and so far they're spectacular.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — When Jay Gruden watches college football, it's no surprise the program that has won four of the past eight national titles sticks out.
"You watch other defenses, no disrespect, and then you flip on an Alabama game, it's different," Gruden said.
In his first season as a starter, Malik Hooker blossomed into one of the best defensive players in college football.
The Ohio State safety had mostly played on special teams before stepping into a major role in his third season for the Buckeyes and turned into an All-American and first-round NFL draft pick.
Jonathan Allen went from a key member of Alabama's defensive line rotation in 2015 to the Crimson Tide's most dominant lineman and a Heisman Trophy contender in 2016.
New Redskins defensive coordinator Greg Manusky tells his players he doesn't have a crystal ball to always know the right play to call, yet before stepping on the field they have an idea what to expect.
"A lot of pressure," linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. "You look at the install sheets for when we're installing our defense, you see a lot of lines going forward."
WASHINGTON (AP) — A few months ago, Jay Gruden famously said of the initial two first-round picks during his tenure as coach of the Washington Redskins: "One's played two downs and one's a guard."
He sure seemed more pleased about the way things went this time around in the NFL draft — and the disarray that had been the hallmark of Washington's offseason diminished, at least for a few days.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins hope to have found short- and long-term upgrades to their 28th-ranked defense on the second day of the NFL draft.
Washington went back to the Alabama well Friday night to take outside linebacker Ryan Anderson in the second round at pick No. 49 and selected injured UCLA cornerback Fabian Moreau in the third round with the 81st pick. Anderson's selection came after the Redskins took Crimson Tide defensive lineman Jonathan Allen with 17th pick on Thursday.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — New Washington Redskins defensive lineman Jonathan Allen probably did not intend to make a pun when asked about what it felt like to wait and wait and wait before being picked 17th overall in the NFL draft Thursday night.
"It's tough," he said, "but when you do get that phone call, it's definitely a load off your shoulders."
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — One day away from discovering where their professional paths will lead, NFL draft prospects gathered for some impromptu football.
