The Daily Twitter: 5 January 2019

So basically they're trying to tell us that five punters were better than Tress Way in 2018? I call bullsh*t. #BiasedMedia #HTTR https://t.co/yw6goJWyur

Talent matters more than everything else. 21 of the 23 players named first-team all pros on offense and defense will play in the playoffs this year. The last Redskins player to be named a 1st team all-pro was punter Matt Turk in 1996. That is an incredible run without one.

Would've thought Tress woulda got more love. https://t.co/mbni9R76IR

Tress Way did not make All-Pro. My whole life is a lie.

— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) January 4, 2019

No Redskins player has been named All-Pro while Dan Snyder has owned the team (19 years). https://t.co/xq4dE6NYef

Jay Gruden has officially been told he’s back as Redskins coach for 2019, per source. This has been expectation among many for weeks.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) January 4, 2019

Can confirm Jay Gruden will be back. @JPFinlayNBCS had it first. #redskins

— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) January 4, 2019

Yes, was told this earlier today as well. he was told late in season he was in good shape. so this has been long expected... now we await staff changes. still being decided. https://t.co/XaTW1ivPaF

— John Keim (@john_keim) January 4, 2019

No, way. Who could have imagined based on all of the mounting evidence that Jay Gruden would return? :-)

Next season will be Jay Gruden’s sixth with the #Redskins. Norv Turner was the last coach to get at least six consecutive seasons in D.C. pic.twitter.com/edlkn6xKiK

Thoughts on Jay Gruden's return? Good scoop from our @JPFinlayNBCS. Honestly with where the roster is and his contract status, not sure this year was the time. Give him one more. Blow it all up if next year goes bad.

— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) January 4, 2019

That doesn't seem weird at all at least based on the last 40 years.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 4, 2019

There really hasn't been a point I felt Gruden wouldn't return. the one time it looked iffy was after the Giants game, if they imploded down stretch. but did enough to stay safe.

— John Keim (@john_keim) January 4, 2019

Expected. With Bruce still in the building, it really doesn’t matter either way. https://t.co/zCMlURdyYz

— manny benton (@manny_benton) January 4, 2019

It's much more likely that the #Redskins ADD a legit football front office dude more than doing what everyone (including myself) wants. Nothing 100% yet, but they still believe they are right and we're all wrong, despite all of the evidence that proves otherwise.

— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) January 4, 2019

Now the question is what staff changes are coming if any. Keeping an eye on Bill Callahan for sure from what I've heard. Certainly Greg Manusky's future a hot topic. https://t.co/Zmdq9wWW1G

I remember being at the Caps Stanley Cup finals game when Joe Gibbs was the pre-game main event. Had me thinking which current player would be in that spot. Guessed Guice and he'd yet to play a game. Still hasn't. https://t.co/xraBx4yqu1

There’s a clear solution. One that history notes isn't prudent, but touches all the concerns.

Here's my summary of tonight's Film Room episode.

Russell Wilson: "Hey Tyler, why don't you run that nice corner route over there and I'll hit you in stride."

Lockett: "Nah man, I'll just wing and run whatever."

Wilson: "Alright fuck it we'll do it live."
