Redskins Gruden sees RG3 in a 'steady climb' | CSN Washington

He's benefiting from Coach Cavanaugh's presence and he's benefiting from the repetitions. I feel like he's on a steady climb and we've just got to keep him that way."

"When you catch them doing it, they try to act like they didn't and sometimes I tell them, 'Before you get in your stance, know where you're going and get a poker face,'" Knighton said.
