The Daily Twitter will be posted at the beginning of every day (at midnight in Washington, DC). The goal is to give readers a handy spot to check the Redskins beat writers & bloggers, and national sports journalists to keep up on the latest news about the Redskins, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

Two people with knowledge of the situation say Jay Gruden could be fired if the Redskins lose on Sunday. (via @Lescarpenter, @ngreenberg) https://t.co/n5IGlgYxwJ
— Dan Steinberg (@dcsportsbog) September 27, 2019
All bets are off if the Redskins start 0-4 but firing a coach before playing the Patriots is like weighing in after hitting the buffet.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) September 27, 2019
You don't call the team meeting before you play the Dodgers. You do it before you play the Marlins. Why have a new coach debut vs the Pats?
IF* ...Jay's certainly on shaky ground but it'd be rude/irresponsible for me to just run past that.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 27, 2019
Two options IMO - O'Connell or KOC becomes OC and they let him call plays and let Callahan handle everything else. Not sure which is the better option. https://t.co/ktrtbzFOap
Oh yeah, I get his track record. But it’s kinda a natural link. Rex Ryan was the first to tell KOC to get into coaching, KOC has a lot of links to Rex’s Jets staff already. Rob already on staff, so it would be him or Horton to take over mid season
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) September 27, 2019
Nah, the point in firing Jay has nothing to do with Kevin. It has everything to do with not thinking he's the right person to lead the team. Jay is trying to save his job. You can dictate to Bill or Kevin equally "play Dwayne" in a way you can't to Jay.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 27, 2019
Something folks forget when they ask why not play Dwayne Haskins now: He might not be ready. That's no knock, but what analysts said pre-draft and what Jay Gruden states now.https://t.co/UjNqMLzgCS

Mr Snyder:
— TheHogSty (@TheHogSty) September 27, 2019
This is how to set a new culture & tone for your tm:
1) Get rid of Bruce
2) Have a presser. Tell everyone it's a new day, it's all abt winning, nobody's more important than the tm, anyone causing drama will be gone
3) Hire an outsider to run the tm w those guidelines
.@JayGlazer seems to think Bruce Allen is bulletproof. His simple reasoning is probably right. Allen is Snyder's best drinking buddy. So we live in a fan nightmare. pic.twitter.com/vNs6xgUFDa

Yeah I’ve been with Jay basically my whole career. I love Jay. I love being a Redskin. I HATE losing. I wanna be a champion so bad and I’m gonna ride with my squad through it all.
— Chris Thompson (@ChrisThompson_4) September 27, 2019
Hasn't gotten much attention, but @ChrisThompson_4 is No. 3 in NFL in YAC per ESPN. And yet through 3 games he has been targeted just once on 1st-half 1st-downs & just twice on 1st-half 2nd downs. More early-down passes to CT is a way to mitigate #Redskins' run-game struggles.

— The Redskins Wire (@TheRedskinsWire) September 27, 2019
That’s the nature of the game. Especially for QBs. I don’t do goal line but I better be ready. Maybe back when you played that was a thing but coach Shanahan didn’t do it either. Different times.
— Chris Thompson (@ChrisThompson_4) September 27, 2019
Ok Super Bowl champ/coach. You have all the answers. I wasn’t even coming at you sideways at all. But I guess because I haven’t won consistently(because, unprepared? ♂️), I can’t have an opinion or I can’t speak on when something is true or false. Got it. https://t.co/uXgzwMvf8o

Not sure how badly Jay Gruden wants to keep his job. But he had two paths to staying: 1) Prove chemistry with Haskins. 2) Make the playoffs. Seems he basically threw a grenade at Door #1, opened Door #2, and immediately got mauled by tiger.

The Redskins' futility streak has sparked endless questions about their ineptitude. But few answers ever manifest.

Bears have a tough front but I thought the #Redskins OL showed some fight. Liked this rep, Penn manages to run Mack by Keenum. Roullier wins his rep and then Scherff slides over to finish the block. Flowers does just enough before an emphatic finish. pic.twitter.com/JguqPS5QNN
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) September 27, 2019
Here’s that coffee house stunt by Danny Trevathan. Initially rushes then fakes dropping into coverage. Scherff looks to help inside, Trevathan bursts past untouched. Another note on the play - thought Roullier did well against Hicks, lost some ground but ended up winning the rep pic.twitter.com/36NDFU7d2r
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) September 27, 2019
Flowers is improving at LG... Catches the DT lunging, puts him on the ground. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/BDtOKwPV0i
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) September 27, 2019
This was the play Scherff got hurt. Flowers taken inside but drives his DT to the ground, ends up rolling up on Scherff’s leg. Thought Roullier was superb in passing off a stunt and working around Flowers to do just enough to get the looping LB. Penn with fantastic rep at LT pic.twitter.com/0LI90048mt
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) September 27, 2019
Nice rep here by RG Brandon Scherff. Works outside to pick up Mack stunting inside. Absorbs initial contact then works to help Roullier secure Hicks before finishing the block on Mack. #Redskins need to get him signed... pic.twitter.com/fxuI89CGpu
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) September 27, 2019
Liked this rep from C Chase Roullier in the run game. Gives the DT a bump to help Flowers secure the block and open the lane, then works up and seals the LB inside. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/VBf9UsoWrS

Watch how quickly Sweat recognizes the play-action and gets in the face of Prescott. He was called for roughing on the play, however that was a BS call. pic.twitter.com/zAMUSV810M

Not practicing on Friday: Terry McLaurin, Brandon Scherff, Jordan Reed and Chase Roullier.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 27, 2019
That’s not a good sign for Sunday for any of them.
If Terry McLaurin can’t play then Robert Davis would take his place. Also helps that Trey Quinn and Paul Richardson can run routes from different positions. So it gives them some versatility and flexibility.
— John Keim (@john_keim) September 27, 2019

Some of you are commenting on the ping pong table again in the #Redskins locker room. Look, players have every right to play on it after practice which is when you hear them. Also, it’s mainly Sundberg and Tress who plays. Both are solid on Sundays so what’s the issue?
— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) September 27, 2019
Dwayne Haskins told us he doesn’t compare himself too much to rookies like Jones or Murray. He instead focuses on matching QBs like Brady and Brees

This year: No Malik Jackson & Timmy Jernigan on DL, no DJax + others. Win on a short week, at Lambeau vs undefeated #Packers
Could u imagine?
Replay was originally intended to fix the obviously wrong call that decides a game. It wasn't supposed to be about challenging the spot of the ball in the first quarter. It's not supposed to result in perfectly officiated games. Expectations have become unrealistic.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) September 27, 2019
Supporters and critics of the NFL's new replay-for-interference system each got something out of the Eagles-Packers game. The NFL got it right (on the Eagles' TD) and probably got it wrong (on the failed Packers' challenge) Thursday night.... https://t.co/XmWdmvyYyf

It’s the right play to let it play out when it’s not painfully obvious that a guy is down. Wentz was obviously down.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 27, 2019
This is such a waste of time and ruins the whole flow of a game.
