Asked if there was any confusion about Griffin's injury, Gruden sidestepped a bit. "Obviously there were signs" of a concussion, he said.

Gruden on Griffin work: "I would have gone more the other day, to be honest. We need work, regardless of if he takes one shot or 10 shots."
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 23, 2015
Gruden says there were "a couple coverage glitches" and said Griffin, center, staff could've done better to avoid them.

Gruden wants to production from 1st team offense w/ RG3 in charge; rg3 "didn't have much of an opportunity in (Det) game" b/c of protection

Playcalling:
"So far with Robert, unfortunately as playcallers, we’ve done a poor job of getting our team into a rhythm. We haven’t got a first down and then followed it up with a nice bootleg or something like that. We’ve just been first down, second down, third down, punt, it seems like."

Offense with the backup QBs:
"It's not troubling," Gruden answered on Sunday. "I'm glad we're having some success somewhere. You know, Kirk [Cousins] and Colt [McCoy], that's a tribute to them. They're doing extremely well. The pass protection has been excellent, and really with our [starting] group, we haven't been able to muster a drive."
"We've had looks at all three quarterbacks and based on what we've seen at practice for the whole training camp, and offseason, and game situations, we feel like Colt is in the lead," Gruden said then. That, of course, was before Griffin surged past McCoy with a strong January and February.
"You know, with Kirk and Colt, when they're in there, we can get a couple first downs, [and] we get into a rhythm as playcallers,"
RG3 vs the Ravens:
Gruden says Robert Griffin III, if cleared, will start Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens. #WASvsBAL
