So Griffin starts the short week game. When he sucks, does Gruden push McCoy back out there?

let him play even if he sucks out there.........

[Slateman]

Griffin looked better. The two deep passes to Jackson were good. Only taking two sacks was nice.

He missed some receivers and then that interception was bad. He really needed to make a better read there. But, the point is, he has improved since he came back from injury.

Oh and extending Trent Williams should be the highest priority this offseason.

As an Eagles' fan, today sucked, but you guys deserved the win and I have no issue with that.
As far as RG3 goes, IMO Jay Gruden simply does not have the capital (no pun intended) to completely nuke RG3's career in Washington. If this was Bill Belichick or a Super Bowl winning coach saying all of this stuff, ok ... but it's Jay Gruden, middling Bengals' offensive co-ordinator who magically got a five-year guaranteed deal in Washington and, seemingly, the ability to nuke RG3's career.

Like most, I'm not sure if RG3 is the long-term answer in Washington, but at the very least, the stupid coach shouldn't be calling him a spoiled, stupid baby in public and do his best to make this work.

Nothing Jay Gruden has done this season makes me believe the Redskins should bring him back, other than the four guaranteed years on his contract.

I know I said the Skins need to concentrate on offensive linemen, but Danny Shelton would make this defense go

Sign Mike Iupati and/or Clint Boiling and/or Rodney Hudson. Trade back from the number 6 pick to the middle of the first round. Draft Danny Shelton. Pick up a an extra 2nd or 3rd rounder. Pick up an OT in a OT rich draft in the second round. Then take two third rounders and package them together and get up in to the second round and take Durell Eskridge. Take a guy like Jake Smith or Brandon Vitabile in the later rounds to learn the center position.

LT: Trent Williams
LG: Spencer Long/Shawn Lauvao or Clint Boiling
C: Vet center on a two year deal or Kory L
RG: Michael Iupati or Spencer Long/Shawn Lauvao
RT: Rookie RT (Ronnie Staley, Tyler Sambrailo, Tyrus Thompson) battles it out with Compton. But the rookie RT has to be able to play LT some.

NT: Danny Shelton
FS: Tyrus Thompson

Rest of the draft should focus on defense. I could see Hatcher and/or Cofield being salary cap cuts. Corey Crawford could be a late round pickup
Would love to see them take another corner for depth, like Eric Murray or Byron Jones.
We may need another ILB, as Robinson struggles to stay healthy. Jacoby Hale or Jordan Hicks have nice speed and could do well with blocker eaters up front.

I think if you build up an offensive line with young free agents and a rookie tackle, you have enough protection for Griffin to show something next season. Which means you have to get him studying film and working on pocket passing techniques. Which should start January 2nd of next year and continue until Week 1. And if Griffin can't do it, at least you have an offensive line built up that can protect for a rookie QB in 2016.

He's hurt again

Redskins and DC Jim Haslett have mutually parted ways. To be honest I haven't watched every Redskin game but the ones that I did seemed like the D was playing lights out or at least at a higher level. This sounds like bad news for Washington.

There you have it! Stats don't lie.

Did anyone else listen to Bruce Allen's joke of a presser this morning?

[Guest]

I think Haslett did the best with the personnel he was given, but most importantly, he did the best the past two years with an offense that couldn't get itself out of a wet paper bag. I do not really agree with letting him go, but someone has to take the fall and he's the one with the most tenure.

I also think that this is leading to Raheem Morris getting the promotion to DC, and if that's the case, I would have rather stuck with haslett.

Don't need an OT to play LT, you're forgetting about Morgan Moses who we drafted last year and can develop into a decent backup.

I would love it if we were able to snag Iupati in FA but I still think we should draft another OG and possibly a center. Can never have enough Oline depth.

Defensive play calling has been a major issue for the skins for the past couple years. Haslett loves to run cover 1 and cover 0 and send the house but we don't have the personnel to run these schemes. It requires shutdown corners (which we don't have) because they're playing with virtually no safety help over the top. This in turn typically leads to huge plays (see the long catch and run TD by Dez in the last Cowboys game).

I don't think I will be able to watch any skins games next year if that happens. I'm hoping Gruden can have some sway in bringing in some new blood. The old schemes obviously aren't working, we need to find someone who can tailor their schemes to fit the personnel.

It's like continuously trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
