Redskins Practice 10/3: Jay Gruden Presser

That other sport in town:

Gruden walked into a room with a half-dozen reporters and was confused. Baseball, he was told. "Reminds me of my Arena press conferences."

Trent Williams practiced fully and Gruden feels good about his chances of playing. Lauvao was limited. Optimistic about him too.

Seattle's defense:

Gruden on SEA D: "The one thing you want to avoid against them is 3rd down & long." Said he wants to use Alfred Morris "as much as we can."

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) October 3, 2014

Gruden says the ability to run Morris frequently will ease pressure on Cousins and the line.

Gruden says Seattle's defense does slightly alter what the #Redskins can call especially in the red zone' because they have smaller targets.

Jay Gruden says Richard Sherman is very physical, plays great coverage and uses his hands extremely well. #Redskins @sportsjourney

Redskins special teams:

Gruden said he's looking for the special teams unit to make a big play -- ie block or touchdown -- to bring some momentum #Redskins way.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) October 3, 2014

Gruden says he does see improvements in the special teams but eventually he wants to see a big play (blocked punt or returned kick/punt).

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 3, 2014

Gruden says the special teams woes are player related more than scheme related. #Redskins

Brian Orakpo:

Gruden on Orakpo: "He has had some plays where he's forced the issue" and other guys get the sack instead.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) October 3, 2014

Gruden says coaches expect more from Orakpo and thinks he can improve. Says he has helped create sacks for others but needs to do more.

Russell Wilson:

Gruden on Russell Wilson: "He's like Houdini back there" in terms of avoiding the rush, extending plays http://t.co/WzkGy6R64P #RedskinsTalk

Home field advantage:

Gruden said playing the Seahawks at home at FedExField is a huge advantage. Wants to see guys play with pride and passion.

Giants game:

Gruden: Everybody "laid an egg" against the Giants.
