In the end, the game came down to the blocked punt, block fg and the fumbles, 4 plays.
I think Gruden is very aware of the right side of the line's limitations. Maybe he didn't really believe the tape when Free Agency and Draft time came around, and wanted to see if he could get more out. But fact is, if the game plan had been skewed more to the deep throws, it would have been worse no matter who the QB was. And, the Skins adjusted and were getting consistent drives after the first one or two. Given that Houston had a new coach, we hadn't seen Clowney/Watt together, and they had their other star who was out most of last year back, I give the team a one week pass.

Now this week, no such thing. All the cards are on the table at this point.
