Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden called out Robert Griffin III after the quarterback called out his teammates.
The Washington Redskins are 3-7 and have just about a zero percent chance of making the NFL’s postseason this year.

However, the team has bigger problems than that. Their head coach (Jay Gruden) and franchise quarterback (Robert Griffin III) are not on the same page.
After Griffin III suggested that his teammates need to play better after their 27-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Gruden unleashed on the quarterback Monday, saying RGIII “needs to needs to worry about himself,” among other critical comments.
Gruden: "Robert needs to worry about himself.... I'll worry about everybody else. ... He elaborated too much"

Gruden: Griffin "had some fundamental flaws...From his basic performance, critiquing Robert, it was not even close" to where it needs to be"
— Mike Jones (@ByMikeJones) November 17, 2014
Gruden on Griffin's aspirations: "some times you don't need great. You don't need elite on every play."

Gruden: RGIII overthrows: "those were big plays...Big difference in the game: Josh McCown hit his 3 w Mike Evans. We missed DeSean 3 times"

Gruden might be correct in his criticisms or RGIII, but he has surely created another controversy for his team to deal with.
Staying united in tough times is crucial in team sports, and the Redskins are instead falling apart.
At this rate, the Redskins won’t only not be in the playoffs, they’ll be competing for one of the top picks in the draft.
