The full Jon Gruden "pass rusher" quote from today: Question: What is it so hard to find a pass rusher? Gruden: “It's hard to find a great one. It's hard to find a good one. It's hard to find one. You just said it. College football now, they're not really dropping back to pass and throwing footballs anymore. They're throwing laterals and they're throwing bubble screens. They're running read options. So you have to train these guys. It takes a little bit of time to learn how to rush the passer. We have some guys that are in that process right now.”

Redskins receivers coach Ike Hilliard said they'll focus on Breshad Perriman just learning the X receiver spot and Michael Floyd focusing on the Z. Hilliard said of Perriman, “You can see there's some ball skills there. He's a short strider, but he can roll. It's a matter of getting him comfortable and making him confident.” Hilliard said of Floyd, “Tough, physical. He's a pro. He's been around a few teams. He understands how this works. We're lucky to have him here. He along with Brian Quick will be the oldest guy in the room. We're going to enjoy leaning on him with situations he's been in.”

49ers LB Reuben Foster is officially back with the team after his two-game suspension. Foster was activated to the roster on Wednesday and participating in practice. The team released OL Matt Tobin to make room for Foster's return. Kyle Shanahan has said he's still unsure who will start at the two inside linebacker spots this week against KC but a Foster and Fred Warner pairing still seems to make the most sense.
