Jay Gruden expected to return in 2018

I knew Jon Gruden was taking his son (Joe Rock) to the Raiders.

I'm not upset. With all the injuries the 'skins have had this year, I think it had a lot to do with strength and conditioning, and we need someone in there who will better train our players up to avoid injury rather than to look like beast mode. I will say though, Deuce is stacked! I used to look like that back when I was more familiar with Photoshop, LOL!

Completely agree. Something isn't right with the way we manage our injuries. I don't know if it was Deuce or not, to be fair.

But we might need to get with the times on some of the sport science stuff. Recovery, prevention, anything. Or maybe some of these guys just need to stop being pussies (REED).

I think your last sentence says it all.

I lean that way too.

I wish I could find the clip - remember the 3rd and 1 against New Orleans where Gruden ran Perine to try to pick up the first down, which would have iced the game? Niles Paul missed his block in the hole, the Saints blew up the play and the rest is history.

Well after Perine got stopped there the camera showed Jay. He shook his head, and I read his lips. He said to himself 'this team has no fucking balls.'

I was too mad at the time to find it funny, but it was. It's also an indictment of the lack of toughness on the team (save for a handful of dudes), which is partly a reflection of the coaching staff, and partly the mindset of the players.

I think, in addition to getting healthy, we need to grow some onions.

The absolute lack of competitiveness and toughness was the most heartbreaking thing about this season. Our team often looked like scared rabbits. Some games we look like we just didnt want to play or were too scared to play.
Im not talking about the guys like moses- who trucked it out all season, there are certainly people that played and played hard that give props.
But there is something wrong when you cant pick up 3rd and 1 consistently or
guys arent laying them selves out there to put it all on the line.
Is that a reflection of Cousins? Gruden? Upper management? Do we have too many oft injured guys that are just worried about getting a paycheck than winning the game? (Niles? Reed? Lauvou?)
i have no clue- i have been a big Gruden supporter- but if anything this is my harshest critiscism of him - he needs to get his players to step up and crush the opposition mercilessly. Be unforgiving and dominant.

They need a killer instinct. There's no excuse with not being able to pick up one yard, especially if the game hinges on that play.

It's hard to say that grown ass men and pro athletes don't have any balls but it def looks like our team was lacking it, and Jay has no room to talk with his sissy ass play calling in games.

I think athletes are trying to keep themselves healthy because they want to be just marketable enough to chase the $$$.
