Joint Practices in future training camps:
Jay Gruden said he wouldn't mind having joint practice again as long as they could keep camp here and not have to travel for it.

“It exposed some things we really have to work on as a staff,” Gruden said of the week. “And it exposed some things we have to work on as players. We competed very well. I’m excited the way we came off the ball and competed in drills. But moving forward we know that we have a long way to go, but we’re not as far as we think.” Gruden said the Patriots’ no-huddle tested their ability to communicate on the field. In a game, coaches would be wearing headsets so they can communicate with one another and relay more to the players, for example.

Robert Griffin III vs the Patriots defense:
Jay Gruden: Jay feels going against a tight man to man defense was great for Robert Griffin III and #Redskins offense.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) August 6, 2014
“Sometimes we have a different approach,” Gruden said. “To see another team attack our defense and go after our coverages and our fronts in the run game and passing game was great for our defense. Same thing for our offense. Seeing another style of defense, more man-to-man, tight man-to-man, some mixture in coverages, a couple different blitzes -- it was great for us. It’s great for Robert, it’s great for the receivers and it was great for the coaches.”

Jay Gruden says he likes Lichtensteiger's play at center. @Rich_TandlerCSN and I thought he looked good this week in drills #RedskinsTalk
