I'm glad he said that. I didn't see or read the presser. But we have heard it for a while, but the same mistakes are repeated over and over again. Hope Gruden is the one that actually does something about it finally.

So far I like everything about Gruden. Seems like a very no nonsense approach where he's not trying to sugarcoat things. I do wonder how he would be after a win though because, say we stopped Houston before that last FG and then drove the field for the game tying TD and somehow win the game, it doesn't erase the mistakes we made in that game. Hopefully he's not on a stay medium thing, but is evaluating each player on a certain level and is finding ways to stress fundamentals to these guys in practice.

One thing that worries me though is that we were making mistakes like this in preseason as well. We had a few turnovers that ended long drives by our offense. We need to fix that or get players on offense who don't make those mistakes. One thing I love about Griffin is that he's not known for being a gambler/gunslinger and showed Sunday that he could execute a gameplan, but that fumble shouldn't happen. Same goes with the Morris fumble that was called back - need to have extra protection on the ball. And Paul is out of my dog house despite his fumble, but I'm going to need him to expect to be caught on those plays since he's not a burner.

Gruden did hint at replacing a guy like Helu on punt protection. We'll see next week.

There must be some some really bad players that are free-agents if Orakpo is rated 3rd best player available.

 

I think Brian Orakpo is the ARod of the Redskins. Lining the stat pad against nobodies.... or in insignificant games (after the playoffs are a long shot) or at times when the game is out of reach (large leads or deficits). He is the anti-clutch.

I've been asked a few times if I ever thought about starting my own podcast. Yes, but hasn't gone much further than that.

 

NFC East = Big Ten. Great tradition, lots of $$$, big names, but the on-field product is certainly lacking

 

Orakpo wants QB hits reviewable http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11493790/brian-orakpo-washington-redskins-says-roughing-quarterback-reviewable?ex_cid=espnapi_public …

 

I had a question on a play I saw broken down yesterday. Don't know if it's a read weakness or personnel weakness.

 

RG3 comes up & audibles based on D personnel, not D alignment (he had 2 options coming out of huddle)

 

BxGf-tNIQAEE9oX.jpg

 

Play turns into empty set. Morris at top w/ Paul in the slot. Texans aligned in 1 high safety so either cover 1 or 3

 

BxGgf1SIQAEChiQ.jpg

 

WSH is running a high-low concept with Morris and Paul. That means you read the CB. If he goes high, you throw low

 

BxGgruvIMAEchoQ.jpg

 

If CB breaks on low, you throw high.

 

BxGgwHZIIAAvkif.jpg

 

In this case, it's a hitch with an outside seam route (fly), instead of corner route.

 

BxGg3B4IYAA3v18.jpg

 

RG3 looks to his read (CB) who stays deep enough to respect Paul. Ball should come out to Morris now.

 

BxGhAK2IIAA3F0R.jpg

 

Instead, he takes off then dumps it to Garcon (who ran the mirrored Morris route on other side)

 

BxGhGe0IgAA5YNQ.jpg

 

So did Rg3 not read the CB correctly or does he just not trust Morris to make the catch?

 

If he doesn't trust Morris, why didnt he read the CB on other side of the field who had the same high low conundrum with Garcon/Roberts

For what it's worth, I don't think Alfred Morris cut-blocking Jadeveon Clowney is what sent him out with injury.

Might not have even been field which he told D.J. Swearinger. You decide.

 

Clowney comes running free on a screen pass to Helu.

 

BxGluQnIcAAnlEs.jpg

 

Clowney jumps to bat pass but Rg3 fits it past him and Clowney is coming down on one leg.

 

BxGlzh0IEAAENec.jpg

 

Here is Clowney coming down on this angle.

 

BxGl6YNIUAEIstc.jpg

 

As you can see in the background, he immediately clutches his knee

 

BxGl-9EIcAAoEnl.jpg

 

And while the focus is on Rg3 who was knocked down, Clowney clearly grasping at knee in foreground.

 

BxGmGx9IMAAWLoD.jpg

 

Clowney played two more downs on the next series not showing any explosion. Then went off the field and into the locker room.

 

#Redskins are planning on using short term I-R designation for Barry Cofield as Jay Gruden mentioned was a possibility. Not official yet.

Said last week that #Redskins could not afford Cofield injury because shifting Baker to NT weakens two DL positions. It's not good.

.@BurgundyBlog Totally agree...I asked Haz last Thursday about this scenario and Baker last Friday. This was a double blow.

@Russellmania980 Real shame for unit poised to improve. But team shouldn't get a pass for not rostering a true backup nose among seven DL.


Two sources tell @ESPNRadio980 that WR Nick Williams has been released from the #Redskins practice squad. Skins looking for bigger WR's.

 

According to a person familiar with the situation, the #Redskins have released Nick Williams from the practice squad.

 

Among the tight ends working out for the #Redskins today were Mike Higgins, Kevin Brock and Tony Scheffler.

 

Scheffler, who played eight years in the league, had planned to retire this past spring.

 

For those wondering, I had Orakpo with 10 pass rushes Sunday. Ten. that includes two screens, one smoke route. Dropped to cover 7 times.


One thing Chris Baker does well: Occupy blockers on stunts. Freed up Jenkins a couple times this way

49ers release running back LaMichael James

 

 

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- Running backLaMichael James was released by the San Francisco 49ers on Monday.

 

 

Coach Jim Harbaugh announced the move a day after his team's 28-17 win at Dallas. James has sought a greater role in the running game, but he had just two carries for no yards against the Cowboys on Sunday.

Harbaugh, who has an open-door policy with players, wouldn't talk about whether he met with the frustrated James, saying, ''We thought it was in the best interest of our team.'' The 49ers later re-signed wide receiver Kassim Osgood.

James was a second-round draft pick by the 49ers in 2012 out of Oregon. He also has handled return duties while playing in 15 regular-season games for San Francisco.


Would LaMichael James be a good pickup to help our special teams?
