the postseason. the redskins have four, with seven games to play. so, can they win six of seven? who knows. today jay gruden asked if practice intensity is the blame for this loss after a number of players expressed frustration that the team just didn't seem up for this one after last week's big win. >> maybe that's the case, if they feel that way, then i have to do a better job of making sure they don't get a big head. it has been difficult to practice on fridays, thursdays with the amount of injuries we've had, guys not being able to practice, we can't go very long. for the most part, players have to get ready to play. and i have to do a better job of getting them ready to play. if they're not ready that's on me. >> well, with more on the redskins loss, the vikings, here's the misery monday edition of the good, the bad and the junkies. ♪ ♪ >> putting kirk in a bad spot where he has to attempt 45 passes, that's not his sweet spot. can he do that, yes.

big games when he throws 45, 48 times, sure t as happen happened before rp but that's not where you want him. you want him probably in the mid 30s for attempts. you want a balance with the running game. it's just a disturbing trend with the skins over the last five games. they cannot establish a rushing attack and it's hurting them. >> all that being said, they scored 30 points. when you go through and look at the losses, it's not like they're losing games 14-13. they're generally speaking generating offensive scoring points. what is letting them down week after week is the defense. >> i don't think that changes. it might change a little bit based on the opponent. if you put the giants twice, you can't imagine the giants are going to score on you. i certainly don't think it changes against the saints. >> the saints are going to look at that film and see what adam did and see what stefan did and drew brees is going to be licking his chops. he has a running game. speaking of running games. redskins have no running game. that's been a theme throughout the season.

went 200 against the rams. they can't generate a rushing attack. it all falls on the passing game. that passing game is limited, too, because most of the pass being games is to tight ends. >> pryor is going to have a buck 50. >> that's the same thing you said in 2017. they have to throw it his way. if the redskins are going to salvage their season, it's probably not going to start this week. it's going to start those last six games. >> that's a tough job. in new orleans, doug, that's where the game is. there's not much hope from them the next game. this doesn't help running back ag ra vated his ankle sprain. he could end up on the injured reserve with chris thompson, the only other back on the team. gruden said today the redskins will sign another running back and quickly. wizards hosting the sacramento kings tonight, looking for their third win in a row. they don't have to
