RICHMOND, Va. - Bruce Allen knows well the history of Washington Redskins quarterback controversies. Sonny Jurgensen vs. Billy Kilmer in the 70s. Doug Williams vs. Jay Schroder in the 80s. Heath Shuler vs. Gus Frerotte in 90s. In 2013, the popular take-sides issue isnt QB vs. QB. Its QB vs. coach. Robert Griffin III vs. Mike Shanahan. And Allen doesnt see this one going anywhere. "I dont see a controversy at all," Allen said Friday. "I know somehow Billy and Sonny are laughing that we created a quarterback controversy with Robert Griffin. But we have a very competitive player whos dying to play football and we have a very experienced coach whos doing the right thing." Training camp came to an end for the Redskins on Friday, and from beginning to end it was dominated by Griffins return from major knee surgery. The enormously popular quarterback and reigning NFL offensive rookie of the year moved well despite the brace on his right knee, whether he was rolling right on a bootleg or sprinting 100-plus yards along the rope barriers to slap hands with fans after practice. It was a remarkable sight, considering that his surgery was seven month ago for an injury that often takes more than a year to completely heal. Still, he felt he should have been doing more than he was allowed under Shanahans practice plan and wasnt shy about saying it publicly. On Monday, Griffin escalated the saga by saying he didnt like the plan and didnt fully understand it. The backlash was such that he made a special statement the next day to announce there was "no conflict" between him and the coach. On Wednesday, Griffin took his first 11-on-11 snaps of camp, albeit against a scout team defence. Shanahan has vetoed Griffins desire to play in a preseason game, preferring instead to focus on the Week 1 regular season opener Sept. 9. "Hes doing well right now. He is ahead of schedule. ... Weve had no setbacks so far," said Allen, knocking his fist superstitiously three times on the wooden podium. "And the goal is for him to play in Week 1. Dont know if itll happen." Other highlights from Allens state-of-camp news conference: — Allen made it sound as if a contract extension for Shanahan isnt imminent. Shanahan is entering the fourth year of a five-year deal. His future could hinge on whether his relationship with Griffin turns into a full-blown rift. "This isnt the time that wed be talking about the head coach or any of that stuff," Allen said. "Mike is really focused on this season." — Allen said the Redskins are still feeling the ramifications of a $36 million salary cap penalty imposed by the NFL in 2012 and 2013. He said the team will probably have to renegotiate some contracts to stay under the cap when the final cuts are made, and that the penalty will also have an effect on negotiations to sign two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Orakpo to an extension. "That salary penalty will hurt us for a number of years," Allen said. "Its not just those two years, because of the repercussions of it down the road." — Allen hailed the Redskins first year of camp in Richmond as a success. He said "well over 150,000" fans attended, surpassing the teams goal of 100,000. The larger-than-expected crowds created some logistical issues, especially when about 100 people were treated for heat-related problems on Fan Appreciation Day. "Well prepare for that better" next year, Allen said. Allen and team owner Dan Snyder regularly walked to practice from the team hotel, covering several miles each day and greeting fans along the way. He said the two came across quite a few parties at various restaurants as during their trundle on Thursday night. "We didnt do any karaoke," Allen said, "that I remember." Michael Strahan Jersey .

Catcher J.P. Arencibia, who was penciled in to get his first start of the series and hit ninth, was scratched after suffering a knee injury while warming up in the bullpen. Its a right knee problem Arencibia says has been lingering for some time. "I mean, its stuff that I deal with the whole year," said Arencibia. "It was there a little bit more than usual. Im wanting to play through everything possible. It just didnt feel like I could really go." Arencibia suffered a flare up during a pre-game bullpen warmup session, conducting a drill in which he practices blocking pitches. He underwent an MRI and the Blue Jays expect to have the results on Thursday. Happ Returns J.A. Happ, pitching in his first major league game in exactly three months, couldnt hold an early 7-2 lead and the Blue Jays lost 9-7, failing to sweep the Mariners.dddddddddddd "Obviously not how I wanted it to go," said Happ. "We should have won that game. We scored seven runs early and I wasnt able to keep us holding on to that. Not the way I would have written it up and not what I was hoping for but looking forward to the next one already." Happ didnt get a decision. In four-plus innings, he allowed seven runs (six earned,) on seven hits and three walks. Happ struck out two Mariners. It was May 7 in Tampa Bay when Happ was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of the Rays Desmond Jennings. Happ suffered a skull fracture and lacerated ear. His most significant injuries, however, were strains to the PCL and MCL in his right knee, which occurred as he fell to the ground. In eight starts this season, Happ is 2-2 with a 5.84 ERA. Happs next scheduled start is Tuesday when the Blue Jays open a three-game series with the Red Sox at Rogers Centre. ' ' '
