WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — The Washington Redskins haven’t won a game in five weeks and the pressure of a four-game losing streak is beginning to weigh heavily upon the shoulders of first-year head coach Jay Gruden.

On Monday, following the Redskins 30-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Phoenix the day before, Gruden began meting out equal blame for the Redskins current 1-5 record, which places them dead-last in the NFC East and floundering with ten games to play.

“There are some instances where we work specifically on a look, and we get that look in the game and we don’t get the results that we should get,” Gruden said.

“So some of that the players have to take accountability,” he went on. “Some of it, bad play design or bad defensive design, bad special teams design; the coaches will take responsibility. And it’s a little bit of both, to be quite honest with you. I’m not gonna sit here and blame the players for poor execution, and I don’t think the players can stand up and say it’s the coaches for poor game-planning. I think it’s a combination when you have the record that we have.”

“And as long as we all understand that, and we’re all willing to accept the fact that we’re all letting the city down, the better chance we have to get out of the rut,” Gruden concluded the thought.
