Run defense:
Gruden - The glaring plays were the long runs. He’s a great back but we made it easier on him
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 10, 2018
Gruden says they’re still trying to figure out the defensive issues. They are trying to figure out how to get guys in the right spot.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 10, 2018
It’s one guy here or there, but it keeps happening.
Penalties:
“It’s an issue that’s plagued us all year.” -Gruden on the penalties
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 10, 2018
He says 14 flags to 2 for New York is odd, but they’ve got to be better.
Josh Johnson:
Gruden says the Giants were playing the same coverages when Johnson came in. He says for the most part he did a good job.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 10, 2018
He says Johnson’s lack of consistency over time is why he’s bounced around so much. He’s intriguing, but he can go very up and down.
Gruden on Josh Johnson - There’s an upside there we can build off

Gruden on Ha Ha Clinton-Dix - He’s finding his way
