I like that Gruden said he's not worried about Philly's schedule down stretch. He's just worried about Houston because Redskins are in first place and control their destiny. Exactly right mindset.

— Rick Snider (@Snide_Remarks) November 12, 2018

Gruden says he’s not looking at other teams schedules. “If we do our job we don’t have to worry about any of it”

Finished watching back first half of #Redskins offense vs Bucs. 2 notes stand out:
1. Skins need to run 2-min offense more often. Smith and pass game look better spread out like that.
2. Jonathan Cooper played well. Liked that he was active in pass pro, always looked for work

Redskins Place OT Geron Christian On IR, Activate DB Joshua Holsey From NFI List https://t.co/E3cJ5zCjHc pic.twitter.com/Z4zjsNraLj

Chris Thompson said he'll likely know a lot more about his status for Sunday later in the week. Ribs still hurting. Not much can be done; just time. as for Quinton Dunbar, Gruden said they don't know when he might return. "He just can't run full speed right now," he said.

— John Keim (@john_keim) November 12, 2018

The #Redskins rookie class on IR now includes:

2nd Rd - Guice
3rd Rd - Christian
4th Rd - Apke
7th Rd - Quinn (returning)
UDFA - Sims

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 12, 2018

Trent Williams won’t practice this week.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) November 12, 2018

Gruden doesn’t have a feel for Dunbar. He can’t run full speed. Waiting for the nerve to get right. Could be tomorrow, could be 2 weeks... #redskins

— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) November 12, 2018

If the team lets Marshall's clock expire, he goes back to IR but that does not mean they can designate anyone else. They would have just burned the designation to return.

Trey Quinn has obviously been designated as well. We'll ask Gruden if he's going to be back this week, too.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 12, 2018

Gruden said they needed 8 OL active Sunday and that’s why McPhee was inactive. Needed to pull from one spot and McPhee doesn’t play special teams. Wasn’t due to performance. #redskins

— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) November 12, 2018

Trey Quinn will likely be activated on Wednesday or Thursday. Crowder is going to test as the week goes, but he doesn’t feel 100% yet. Will have another MRI to make sure he’s on track, too.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 12, 2018

Jay Gruden said some of Punter Tress Way’s punts are “like hitting a soft 9 iron into the Masters green.” Way has helped the Redskins by forcing teams to drive long ways.

Newly acquired #Redskins LG Jonathan Cooper impressed me in his debut. What stood out most was how active he was in looking for work when he wasn't occupied. DT works to the LT here, so Cooper passes him off and works back inside to help the C pic.twitter.com/zrGVfHhIN6

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 13, 2018

Nice job by Cooper reaching the NT here and cutting him off pic.twitter.com/nytEhxGEdb

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 13, 2018

Bucs tried Cooper early and often with stunts. Handled them well (might even go as far as to say better than Skins typically handle stunts/games). First pass rep here, read the stunt early, passed it off and picked it up easily pic.twitter.com/xVEEhM8jVM

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 13, 2018

Ugh

If it would take a GM title for Kyle to stay, what would that even look like in this front office? There’s a President of Football Operations & two Sr VPs of Football Ops. Does someone else go?

Same for KOC, Cavanaugh is the OC. Can there be two Asst HCs (w/ Callahan)??

— JR (@_jrow14) November 13, 2018

Here's what the #Redskins' record was after nine games since 2008...which, of course, was the last time they were 6-3. Lots of 3-6. Lots.
2018 6-3
2017 4-5
2016 5-3-1
2015 4-5
2014 3-6
2013 3-6
2012 3-6
2011 3-6
2010 4-5
2009 3-6
2008 6-3

A win Sunday means the #Redskins will have won at least 7 games in four straight years for the first time since the 1999-2002 campaigns.

It's crazy that the team is 6-3 and two games up in the division and the story this week is gonna be about the home crowd

#Redskins players are frustrated about the turnout at FedEx Field.

But fans have a right to be upset, too: https://t.co/teb3ywEhiT pic.twitter.com/yvAEE85p54

— NBC Sports Redskins (@NBCSRedskins) November 13, 2018

More Swearinger: "Home games, that's some of the worst things I've seen. I've played on four different teams. Never seen it that bad, you know with other teams' jerseys in the stands, with the boos, whatever it may be. I've never been a part of nothing like that."

— Chris Lingebach (@ChrisLingebach) November 12, 2018

I'm not sure why no one's explaining to Norman and Swearinger why the FedEx Field crowds are the way they are.

1) Most have stuck through Dan Snyder's ownership until this point. Every fan has their own breaking point and most have had theirs in the last couple years.

— Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) November 12, 2018

This is how Chris Thompson explained it today: They simply want support and to have that home field advantage. #redskins pic.twitter.com/hYMJ21EoeQ

— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) November 12, 2018

I think D.J. Swearinger and Josh Norman can be right AND wrong. The atmosphere at FedEx Field is often terrible. There's also 20 years worth of reasons why it's like that. They don't know the context. #Redskins

— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) November 12, 2018

It took a couple decades for it to get to this point, beginning when most of these players were likely in elementary school. It could take many more years, likely when a new stadium is built (if it doesn't price out the average fan), for home-field advantage to return.

— Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) November 12, 2018

4) Norman said the team plays better on the road than at home. Well, play better at home and there will be less boos. Makes sense to me.

5) As Brian Lafamina has said, rebuilding a home advantage will take years (after decades of fan erosion). The players need to grasp this.

— Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) November 12, 2018

Why have the last few years been the breaking point when other years have been worse? Not sure but it's where they're at. Fans are finally standing up to expensive tickets, super expensive parking, bad traffic and a typically lackluster product, especially at home...

— Jake Russell (@_JakeRussell) November 12, 2018

Here's how @notthefakeSVP reacted to Josh Norman's comments about Redskins fans on last night's SportsCenter: "The arrogance of this franchise, to just assume the loyalty of the fanbase was forever, has come home to roost." pic.twitter.com/vstzrfAwaC

How could we complain? We aren’t putting up 300yds passing and fancy stats but Alex Smith is winning us games by simply not turning it over

Would a playoff berth be the mark of a successful season for everyone, if this is the way the #Redskins keep winning? Curious to hear thoughts.

— Riggo's Rag (@RiggosRag) November 12, 2018

The Redskins cornerbacks we’re playing 15yds off the receivers. Tampa would march down the field then the Redskins defense would tighten up! Turnovers and missed field goals
