Former Washington Redskins LB London Fletcher on Jay Gruden: 'He's too wishy-washy' - NFL - SI.com

Fletcher is right, especially from the QB's POV (RG, Kirk and now Colt, in turn).

But I give Gruden the benefit of the doubt handling the QB situation because it's pretty unusual. Where there's real reason for concern with Gruden is like I alluded before, play calling, scheme, game management and motivation.

1. He's long struggled with the first three. My opinion the Bengals lost their playoff game last year because Gruden inexplicably gave up on the run for the 2nd half, even after it carried them through the 1st half. Heard at least a few commentators say the same thing. He's just a very inconstant play caller and doesn't really know how to win at the pro level yet.

2. We're still one of the sloppiest, most undisciplined teams in pro football. And I see players go easy and let up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too soon, especially on offense. That's on the team leader. If it's not Gruden, who else?
