Redskins practicing up today, but its what happened after they got your attention. It is a first. Jay gruden does the post game presser after every practiced. He was only asked four questions, it lasted one minute. Thats it, thats it . This is what happens with the remainder of the season. The redskins had an interesting thursday. Theyre prepping for the cardinals and in the playoff hunt. They could avoid three straight wins. Looking at the bright starred, if you look hard enough you can see them smiling at redskins park. A win will help the mood all across the dmv. Bad taste in their mouth. Just one win in the last five games. The defense a major factor, allowing 374 yards per game in that stretch. And giving up the most points per game in the entire nfl at just over 26. Josh norman, one of the team leaders, knows just where the frustrations lie. I think communication for us is lacking and suffering in areas in which it was good in the beginning. Injuries, everybody has injuries. If you want to go around and make an excuse on injuries, then you shouldnt be playing out there in the first place. Were on the same page, man. We have to all speak the same language, same lingo.
