Gruden says Jackson still hopes to do work Friday. Even if dresses might not play whole game. Feels comfy if grant has to play instead

Philadelphia Eagles:

Gruden says #Redskins D must pursue & wrap up to defend Eagles screens that can hit for "gigantic chunks of yards." #RedskinsTalk

Kirk Cousins:

Gruden calls cousins a "very poised" player.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 18, 2014

Gruden says one of the most important things for Cousins going from backup to starter is adapting, being flexible week to week #RedskinsTalk

Gruden: We're throwing more looks at Kirk in practice. 3rd down and redzone. His attention to detail & everything #Redskins @sportsjourney

Ryan Grant:

Gruden: "I've been a big Ryan Grant fan since the first day he's come in here." Said the rookie runs great routes.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 18, 2014

Gruden praises Ryan Grant's approach. Has given him the nickname "Clinic" because he runs every route like a clinic tape.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 18, 2014

Practice:

Gruden said the #Redskins will pump in loud crowd noise at practice tomorrow. "That can play a major part on your offense."
