Mike In Illinois Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 ASHBURN, Va. (AP) _ The N-F-L has some questions for the Washington Redskins. The league and the players' union say they're investigating Redskins offseason practices to find if there were one-on-one drills between offensive and defensive linemen that the union says are forbidden. There's a prohibition against "live contact." Union chief Gene Upshaw says they learned of the drills from the team's Web site. Coach Joe Gibbs says the team has turned over tapes of its practices to the league for review. If there's a violation, the Redskins could lose some of their offseason practice days. Gibbs says he thinks the Redskins are well within the rules. Tackle Chris Samuels says the drills are for working on hand placement and technique, but aren't used to drive guys to the ground.
