Kirk Cousins:
Jay Gruden on Cousins: "I think we all have to improve in the 3Q. It's been a nightmare for us."
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) October 18, 2015
#Redskins coach Jay Gruden: "The first interception...can't happen. The second one, he took a shot. Not as bad."
— Anthony Gulizia (@AnthonyGulizia) October 18, 2015
Gruden just described Cousins’s 2nd horrible pick as, "like a long punt."
— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) October 18, 2015
Gruden on Cousins turnovers: "I'd like to see what happens when we get our full cast of characters back...We stand behind Kirk."
— Anthony Gulizia (@AnthonyGulizia) October 18, 2015
Gruden says that Cousins isn't the first QB to make a bad decision and throw and won't be last. Says this won't be his last bad decision.

Changes at QB:
"We'd like to see the film before we make any crazy decisions..." Gruden said when asked about Cousins' performance
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) October 18, 2015
Gruden said Cousins left plays out there, but they've invested in Cousins as starter. Sounds like he'll get another chance vs Tampa.

Gruden: "You hate to pin this game on Kirk." Asked if he's QB for rest of the season: "Yeah, that's the intent."
— Dan Steinberg (@dcsportsbog) October 18, 2015
Offensive Line:
Gruden impressed with young offensive line performance, but recognizes "didn't get enough lanes" for RBs to run through.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) October 18, 2015
Gruden on today's OL: "They did pretty good. Running game was tough. That puts pressure on our QB. They played well." #Redskins

Lost opportunity:
"We had an opportunity to win this game...& in the second half we just laid an egg." Says #Redskins need to come out better after 1st half.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) October 18, 2015
Running game issues:
Gruden: "we had no running game whatsoever but Kirk is not at the stage - or is anyone on our team - where they can carry us."
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 18, 2015
Bashaud Breeland:
Gruden on Breeland: "Yeah, he's good man. He's a great competitor. He's good for our football team". #Redskins
— Chadwiko Menendez (@ChadwikoRCC) October 18, 2015
Tampa Bay:
Gruden calls #Redskins game vs #Buccaneers very critical before bye week. "It's code red for us."
— Anthony Gulizia (@AnthonyGulizia) October 18, 2015
DeSean Jackson:
Gruden: "DeSean Jackson didn't travel with the team. He came up here on his own. Has family up here." #Redskins
