Hard Knocks:

Asked about Hard Knocks "Hopefully we're not mic'd up. But they do a good job of staying out of your way". #redskins

Lack of big red zone target:

Gruden: I would love to have a 6'4 WR (regarding redone) but I like the guys we have. Jordan Reed and DeSean play big down there. #redskins
