Pick 6:

Skins Coach JGruden says decisive INT unfortunate ; not assessing blame . Cousins had to throw quickly; Grant fell.

Jay Gruden says Ryan Grant really should not have done anything different. .says he got bit by "turf monster" ..#Redskins

Gruden avoided assigning blame on OT pick-6. Said Cousins didn't want to take a sack, so he got the ball out quickly. And Grant fell.

3rd and 10 playcall:

Gruden on if he liked the call of bubble screen pass to Crowder on third-and-goal from the six: "No. No. That was awful."

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 12, 2015

On the bubble: "Instead of giving the quarterback a one man show there, we should've given him more options." He's still mad about it.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 12, 2015

Jamison Crowder:

Gruden on WR Jamison Crowder: "He gets the ball in space and he's very dangerous." Said he has rare ability to know when to make cuts.

The loss:

Gruden on #Redskins loss: "Losing should hurt every time and hurt more next time. Our guys are starting to understand that."

Converting turnovers to points:

Jay Gruden says they have to put "our foot on their throat" when they force turnovers and don't score on ensuing offensive possession.

Dustin Hopkins:

Gruden on #Redskins K Dustin Hopkins: "He's proven he's pretty good. He missed one, but made one in crunch time."
