Robert Griffin III:

Gruden: "I don't think RG3 saw the field well...we have to see the film" #Redskins

— Dianna Marie Russini (@NBCdianna) November 16, 2014

Gruden said there were "concepts" where redskins should've had open receivers and Griffin didn't see them for whatever reason.

Asked if RGIII proved he deserved to be the starter after today's performance:

Gruden: "After today's performance, nobody showed they deserved a start anywhere." Said he won't pin loss on any one player.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 16, 2014

Gruden said he didn't think there was a point to changing QBs. "We've got to coach him up and find out what's holding him back."

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) November 16, 2014

Jay Gruden "That's something he has to find the answer to and we have to find an answer." On Robert struggling since 2012.

Mental mistakes:

Gruden said #Redskins had a good week of practice. Effort was there today. Just a lot of mental mistakes.

— Tom Schad (@Tom_Schad) November 16, 2014

Gruden thought his team had a good week of practice. Unsure why it's not translating.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) November 16, 2014

Gruden said someone didn't blitz on Evans TD pass vs. Riley. Would've been a free blitzer, he said.

— Tom Schad (@Tom_Schad) November 16, 2014

On Evans TD on Clark and Breeland, Clark didn't come over fast enough. Both players knew assignments.
