Cooley sat with AP in his 3rd podcast episode, and they said Jay has been hard on the team after the Saints loss, Peterson said he liked that Jay was "100% on them", about the mistakes they made.
What is the name of his new podcast I can't find it anywhere, only Kevin Sheehans.

And guess what... Cooley and Kevin are (kinda) back !!!:

Tape has said big play opportunities have been available but Alex not seeing or throwing. I thought Alex was the best deep ball passer last year? Wtf is going on?
Alex is still learning..

I think I saw him connecting more this past week, he seemed more comfortable than he has. Hopefully that's true. This week will be another good test

I agree.. Also, I think the injuries are not helping Alex. Doctson missed some time in training camp, Reed didn't participate at all until beginning of the season, Richardson has been missing some practice time since he got injured. It's tough for QB to build rapport with receivers if they don't get to practice together enough..
I'm not saying that Alex is completely innocent of this - he is a veteran pro and he should have done better in recent games but I'm not going to hold this against him (at least, not for now).

I still put it a lot on Gruden and preseason. Look it's fine if you don't want to play the starters, I get it, but then your team better not look like they aren't on the same page after 5 regular season games. And with a new qb, and so many missed practices, throwing a few live balls every game would have made sense. I like Gruden for a lot of reasons, but I don't think we will ever be a consistent deep playoff team with him.

This is the most important 3-game stretch in Gruden's career.
We won game one against Carolina, but these next two are just as important.
No point beating Carolina only to lay an egg against Dallas or NYG.
Gruden's head coaching career is hanging by a thread. If he gets canned by Washington he won't get another chance.
You can always go be the OC for your brother in Oakland, but if you want your head coaching career to continue...
NO MORE EGGS!!

hmmmm… maybe a lot more pass attempts in pre season would have helped.

:lol:
Look, "Jay" and "different approach" in the same sentence! That's the football equivalent of seeing a UFO.
You're on a roll, Chico. Tell us the one about halftime adjustments, :laughing2
And throw in the one about sticking with what is working, oh and brilliant play-calls while your at it.....and if we are really good can we please hear the one about our Red Zone offense firing on all cylinders... [emoji849]

I think it might be that he took just about 17 snaps in the preseason with the first team offense? While learning a new offense. To me this is another coaching incompetency by Jay.
