The Daily Twitter: 8 October 2019

The #Redskins have fired coach Jay Gruden, source said.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 7, 2019

In a recent conversation with someone who knows Dan Snyder well and is aware of his thoughts on potential next #Redskins head coaches that any list of candidates would include: #Steelers HC Mike Tomlin, #Bucs DC Todd Bowles, #Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy.

— Ed Werder (@WerderEdESPN) October 7, 2019

Following on from this;

Current Vegas odds on next #Redskins head coach:

Bieniemy: 5/2
Leftwich: 3/1
Todd Bowles: 4/1 https://t.co/XmNjdokeTQ

Skins fans may be wanting Lincoln Riley, but source tells me "...that job would not be a consideration for him if he were to even have eyes for the league..."

— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) October 7, 2019

I almost have a level of respect for people like Bruce who can lie directly to media members without batting an eye. “The culture is actually damn good” There is no way at this point even he believes that but he’s doing what he can to keep a job. Unbelievable.

Just an FYI: Bruce and Dan leaving that early after a game doesn’t happen ever. The security entourage was fired up and ready to go as we got down to field level. They usually stay afterward for a few hours

Adrian Peterson on if he anticipates any notable changes at 0-5: "I have no idea, to be honest with you. This is a place I’ve never been before. You never know what to expect."

Adrian Peterson on the Pats' D: "They showed a lot of exotic stuff on film, but against us they didn't really. It was like, hey sit back there and allow us to mess up."

— John Keim (@john_keim) October 6, 2019

I know the rumors are all about Gruden, but if Snyder wants to appease the pitchforks at the gates, he should fire Bruce Allen on Tuesday. Why Tuesday? It's the next day the Nats don't play (advanced, eliminated or game 5). Best PR for the Skins at this point. Free advice.

— Bill Rohland (@BillRohland) October 6, 2019

It's going to be very eye-opening for Dan Snyder when he attempts to conduct a coaching search in 2020 and finds out how very few qualified coaches are actually interested...

— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) October 6, 2019

Haskins needs to start the next 10 games. This team is going to have the option of taking a really good QB in next year’s draft. They need to find out if they should.

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 6, 2019

Playing Haskins this season is like investing in a new car and then taking it to a demolition derby to "see what it can do".

— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) October 6, 2019

I don't know why you wouldn't be hoping for Haskins to take every remaining snap and the #Redskins to lose every remaining game.

— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) October 6, 2019

Re: Jay timeline. Wouldn't happen any later than tomorrow morning. If he were to stay (and I'm still leaning no at this point), he would certainly be coaching for his job on Sunday in Miami.

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 7, 2019

Think the ideal combo (to me) is Kevin O'Connell as coach and Dwayne Haskins as QB. If they're gonna stink, let's learn something. https://t.co/FpJtgraf5H

Just passing this along to the TL

No idea about it's veracity. https://t.co/qqF2eogFG2

— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) October 7, 2019

Total media nerd tweet, but IF Gruden gets fired tonight, I'm fascinated to see how the news breaks.

Is it a Schefter/Rapaport tweet?
A team media release?
A local beat reporter scoop?

Curious.

My take from #Redskins 33-7 loss to the Patriots. pic.twitter.com/ETBjpkOt9p

Richmond deal ends next year. The team planned on having its next stadium deal (which will include camp) in place by then, but that's still in limbo. Guessing the next coach will have input on that. https://t.co/yViKY4dx4P

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 7, 2019

only see 2 winnable games. Dolphins next week and the Jets.

— Robert Luke (@RobertLuke8) October 7, 2019

With the loss to New England, the Redskins now travel to Miami to face the Dolphins who are also winless at 0-4.

The Redskins will look for their first win in Miami in franchise history as they are currently 0-5 all-time in regular season matchups in south Florida.

JUST IN: Redskins open -3.5 at Dolphins

FedEx is unquestionably a disaster of a stadium, but in the interest of absolute fairness we must note that it is not Dan's disaster. He inherited it. https://t.co/2ZzopET8yK

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 7, 2019

Trent’s fine. He’s still not getting traded. That became personal. And we know how Bruce handles personal.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 7, 2019

Didn't see him at the game today (he was there a couple weeks ago). Not a great sign. Guice was hanging out in the locker room, which was cool to see. https://t.co/HoqdD7oDR4

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 7, 2019

Love Sims (a fellow Jayhawk), but he's got a lot on his plate right now. Had the big TD, but was also in the wrong spot on that (really bad) interception. https://t.co/2INvESwMzd

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 7, 2019

Game Note:

Steven Sims' 65-yard TD run was the second longest among Redskins rookies in franchise history.

The longest? RGIII 75-yard scamper against Minnesota in 2012.

— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) October 6, 2019

He needs to be getting more heat for the holding penalties. If you put your hands on the outside of a guy's jersey, they're going to call it more often. Doesn't matter how "right" you are if you get penalized. https://t.co/wmUyjG3Z3S

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 7, 2019

Not unthinkable. I think the visiting crowds would be the top factor - and I don't buy that he's staying for the stadium. https://t.co/QmJarSSkcs

Colt McCoy said they had a whole sheet of red zone plays and they didn't run a single one today. #Redskins https://t.co/5Um00U4GSM

— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) October 6, 2019

McCoy took a minute at the end of his presser to praise the defense. He credited their ability to create turnovers and was upset they couldn't produce offensively saying "we had a whole call sheet of red zone plays and we didn't get to call one."

— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) October 6, 2019

Phew, thank goodness #DwayneHaskins didn't play v #Patriots! No way could he have matched Colt's 4.4 yds/attempt & leading #Redskins to 7 pts & 1/11 on 3rd downs. I mean, golly gee, Skins coulda lost big & fallen to 0-5 if #Haskins had played & maybe actually learned some things.

What's the reason for the Redskins second half struggles?

Redskins observations: Players admit, it's cool to sack Tom Brady. (featuring Tim Settle's first NFL sack): https://t.co/WAUI5VA51S

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 6, 2019

Tom Brady on the Patriots fans at FedEx Field: “That was ridiculous. I thought it was pretty amazing. That felt like a home game. Probably from the time that we got to the hotel… till we ran in after the game, that was pretty sweet. We appreciate all the support down here."

— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) October 7, 2019

Josh Gordon on the all the Patriots fans at the game today:

"It was confusing. I would say it felt like a home game just like Foxboro to be honest. It was great to have that support with our fans traveling, maybe we got some converted Redskins fans. But it was awesome.” pic.twitter.com/tVJZv5w0rR

The next time a bad head coach pulls out some excuse after a loss or during a bad season, remember that the Colts' franchise quarterback retired DURING THE PRESEASON and the Colts still look like playoff contenders.
