Run game mistakes:

Gruden says the running issues have been the same mistakes from different people. He says the youth is a reason for a lot of them.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 9, 2015

Asked about the continued struggles on the ground, Gruden said it's missed blocks by O-line, RBs missing holes + not running thru tackles.

Gruden says run game doesn't have to be uber explosive, just wants something better than what has resulted. #Redskins

— Anthony Gulizia (@AnthonyGulizia) November 9, 2015

Gruden says common thread between #Redskins' failures on run defense and offense is group effort. No singular issues.

Kirk Cousins:

Gruden on Cousins' decision-making: "Sometimes Kirk can overthink some things. ...He's got to be decisive+live with the decisions he makes."

Faster start vs Saints:

Gruden: "We have to come out faster. We're playing another future Hall of Fame quarterback in Drew Brees ... It's a great challenge."

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 9, 2015

Gruden stressing importance of fast start versus New Orleans. "We can't putting ourselves in 17 point holes."

DeSean Jackson:

Gruden on return of DeSean Jackson: "We'll get him rolling again." Said it'll take time after he missed preseason and 6-plus games.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 9, 2015

Gruden says DJax not being here in OTAs and on sideline much of camp stunted cohesion, some reason why not as much involvement yesterday.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) November 9, 2015

Will Compton:

Gruden says Will Compton played well yesterday. Perry Riley still has nagging calf injury, but ultimately coach's decision to play Will more

— Anthony Gulizia (@AnthonyGulizia) November 9, 2015

Gruden said Will Compton's increased playing time at inside linebacker yesterday was a coaching decision.

— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) November 9, 2015

Gruden says possible Will Compton (who split time w Riley yesterday) takes over at that starting ILB spot. Under consideration.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) November 9, 2015

Jeron Johnson:

Gruden thought Jeron Johnson played well, gives the #Redskins a consistent option at strong safety.

Matt Jones fumble:

Gruden says Jones fumble a bang-bang play. RB coach Randy Jordan not so kind. Gruden relayed Jordan mantra: "If it hits RB hands, it's his."
