#Redskins HC Jay Gruden says Roy Helu had poor technique on one sack...A lot of things to blame.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) December 8, 2014
Gruden says protection issues aren't structural. Simply a matter of guys being beat individually, or QB holding ball too long.
— Tom Schad (@Tom_Schad) December 8, 2014
Gruden said the reasons for protection issues vary. But it's not scheme. One common theme is poor technique. Guys are just getting beat.
