did gruden ever consider benching robert griffin iii? >> i asked coach gruden that. he hesitated for a second. he said if there was more time in the game, he was considering putting colt mccoy back in the field. today at fedex field the fans were chanting for colt mccoy. that's how ugly it was, looking for the best way to describe today's ge went. coach put it best though. >> it looked like the first preseason game is what it looked like. it was not good by anybody on our staff offensively, myself. we got to first initially take the blame and hold some d find out where the confusion is and why we're having so much trouble. >> it was a travesty out there today. we didn't play well. i didn't see the field as well as i would have liked to. we had turnovers, i can't dloe interceptions. we had false start penalties, holding penalties. it was bad ball out there today. >> you've been very consistent the last two weeks that robert griffin iii needs to prove himself. do you think after today's performance he's proved he should be the starting quarterback? >> after today's per

gruden isn't sinking with him. >> i think they need to rally around the quarterback. that's the leader and they need to look at what they can do to make him look better. like catching the ball when >> that would help. a lot of people today agreed with rg3 getting benched, but they also said not to stick a fork in him just yet. still, they are interestedded in seeing just how well colt mccoy performs this weekend. >> i'm meteorologist, topper shutt. just slush right now, but some of the slush could refreeze overnight. we are getting critical north and west. 35á in martinsburg and 34 in winchester. we'll talk about when we think temperatures will go below freezing and where. we'll also take you through the holiday weekend. >>> this is a red alert day. now, wusa9's first alert weather. >> we canceled the red alert now. we don't think the black ice is going to warrant a red alert for the entire metro area. we are concerned about some slick spots tonight. it is 39 at national. the dew point is down to 33. light rain and drizzle. winds northwest at 10. doppler radar over t

today was sort of a retention day for jay gruden. the promises he made about rg performance against caps off, saying he shouldn't have come out to the media and said it. he's upset about making this a big rg iii thing instead of focusing on the team as a whole. here is jay. corrections should be made in-house with everybody involved. the place speaks for itself. the production speaks for itself. i don't have to in -- elaborate on any individual things, other than the team was not good enough, was not prepared enough, was not coach well enough to beat the buccaneers. >> today, head coach jay gruden made it clear that everything he said to the media was said in his office one-on-one. now back to you. >> the red-hot wizards back in action tonight. they host the dallas mavericks. a big test. it looks like they may be getting bradley beal back. he's been sidelined with a broken wrist for about six weeks. he practiced in full with the team this week. though het start, might see some limited action. it will be a gametime decision. bradley b

but according to gruden, they don't do that. they see each other and wave and that's it. >> i was going to say -- >> he's the mouthpiece. >> it is his team, by the way. >> that's what jay said. if he wants to come in -- i just like -- he expected it to be a lot worse than what it is. >> we all did. >> yeah. so it is good to hear. >> cool. >>> so from owner to quarterback, jay gruden was hired for one main reason. and that's to develop robert griffin iii. gruden's background as a quarterback himself and his credit for developing quarterback andy dalton got him this job. as for robert's production under gruden's offense, the head coach is encouraged but made is clear, he still needs time. in fact, he says rg3 has to prove himself. fans are anxiously awaiting for that growth. the are the redskins ready to pull the plug on the guy they gave up three first round draft picks for? >> i think we're quick to judge now. he's still young. he's only played nine quarters for me right now. so i think these last seven weeks will really tell a

gruden later explained that he feels rg3 has struggled running his offense. coach said i has fundamental flaws and explained why he made the surprising decision. >> he's worked very hard on his fundamentals, very hard in the room, on his strength and conditioning. i think now that he has these concepts he can work on and seeing it in the film, there are other ways to work. >> not me against robert. people want to make it out to be, this is just about trying to win football games and forever reason we have not been very good offensively when he's again quarterback. and we have to figure out why. >> so we can make the argument, is this decision being made just to get wins for jay gruden or is this something they feel in the future that roberts is no longer the guy? >> i don't know. i can't figure it out. i'm glad that he has a football mind and is smarter than me. >> somebody needs to figure something out. >> you have to figure, if you're putting hill on the bench for the second time. >> you know what you're doing. >> it's over. that's what that means. >> all r

what is jay gruden saying? >> as you mentioned, he had a few things to say on monday following that 27-7 loss against the bucs. everything rg iii did fundamentally was all wrong. he says sometimes when you are angry, that's when you say the first thing that comes to your mind. today jay gruden said he should not have said those things. >> that was a mistake on my part . after a loss like that, we are very disappointed with the way we played. the question came up about how he played in all that stuff, and i just answer the first thing that came to my mind and sometimes the first thing that comes to your mind isn't the smartest thing. corrections should be main in-house with everybody involved. the place speaks for itself -- play speaks for itself. >> jay also said he messed up in telling rg iii that he did mess up, but he did tell him before he told the media. he said he also messed up and making it more about robert and making it about the team. we will have more on that coming up later in sports at the 5:00 ho

gruden doesn't supply us with cliche staples week after week. he tells -- statements week after week. he continues us how he feels, call -- tells us how he feels and has made it very clear robert griffin, iii is playing for his job now. gruden said he's auditioned long enough. cluck's ticking. he's got to play. we'll see. we -- clock's tick ticking. he's got to play. we'll see. we got to play better around him. some adversity is striking around him and how he reacts to that of on the field, his mental state of mind, how it affects his confidence, hopefully it's not in a negative way. >>> to baseball adam laroche is headed to the windy city agreeing to a two year deal for $25 million with the chicago white sox. he will most likely be a designated hitter and first baseman. he had 26 ho merslast year. despite that he was paid a $2 million buyout. >>> it's high school playoff time with lake braddock and springfield. kyle edwards heaves one downfield. tyreke middleton incredible catch puts the bruins on top. lake braddock held off a push from the spa

jay gruden and robert griffin iii both speak. when they speak, people listen. >> and now the toyota sports desk brought to you by your local toyota dealers. social media continues to fuel the fans perception of the saga at redskins park. jay gruden continue to be the top trending story. the two guys met the media, which was probably the last thing they wanted. a lot of folks might think that everybody is too hard on rg iii, but come on, he hasn't played well. in the fall, the redskins quarterback job is the most important job in washington. three of the last 18 games have been winds. robert griffin was there. both guys looked a little uneasy. >> yeah, you want to talk about being awkward -- i think every ,ingle sentence for rg iii was we are just trying to be focused on san francisco. how is your footwork? we are trying to be focused on san francisco. >> how about jay gruden? >we are trying to stay focused n san francisco. himselfen was hard on being hard on rg iii to the media. both of them seemed focused on san francisco. >> is

of course, gruden is the head coach. whatever decision he makes, we all support. >> every time you see the starting quarterback go down, you are like, man, it sucks being in that position. hopefully i hope he goes in there and does what he is supposed to and what he can do. colt announced he was the starter. some of the guys were just like okay, we have to keep going. he's proving himself with the one game under his belt. he played that monday night a couple weeks ago. >> all right. all the right answers, right? they're going to all support the guy under center right now. but really, the big question and i don't know if any of us know the answer is robert give riffii going to be around next season? >> i don't think so. >> i saw him go down and his teammates didn't come and help him up. and you saw it happen. and that speaks volumes as far as i'm concerned. >> but that's not what this is about though. >> yeah. this is a team decision. >> yeah. >> he's not able to run this offense right now as simple as they made it to hel

and jay gruden yells at everybody. then robert goes back on instagram and says i'm sorry for saying that, that' i meant. i can't even -- i don't even know what i do anymore, because reporting has become very challenging here at redskins park. he said/she said. and we all know that the problem is because the team is not winning. so what were the comments that has started all this? this is robert griffin iii last night. >> right now we have no pro bowl players. and we don't -- we're not playing that way. i'm not playing that way. our receivers aren't playing that way. the backs aren't playing that way, our defense isn't playing that way, our special teams isn't playing that way and we know that. >> robert needs to about himself and not anyone else. it's his job to worry about his position, his footwork, his fundamentals, his read, his job at the quarterback position. it's my job to worry >> all right. it's the coolly report. how would you describe it? >> i think it's chaos. one word. >> how do you fix this right now? you

did jay gruden apologize for criticizing? >> pretty much. he wanted to stand up for the rest of the team, but in so many words he did apologize for being so openly critical of griffin and his performance. that's what we kind of like about gruden, his honesty and openness instead of all the clay shea answers, but robert knows he's going to filter what he says. >> we'll break him of that honesty stuff. >>> the weather real quick? >> cold tonight, no record lows, chilly tomorrow in the 40s and arctic air on friday in the, but 50s and 60s on the way. >> we can hang in there. that's it for us now. the cbs evening news is next. >> i'll be back with jan for your only local news at 7:00. we'll see you then. >> pelley: tonight, shut the front door. an historic snowfall has people stuck in their homes, stranded on the roads. >> keep going. we pulled over under this bridge and we've been sitting here ever since. >> pelley: jericka duncan tells us there's more on the way. nbc pulls the plug on bill cosby after another woman accuses him of sexual assault

afterwards, jay gruden wasn't one to hold back his disappointment. >> he did some good things offensively. offensively we weren't good enough. defensively we weren't good enough. but robert made some great throws, obviously made some poor throws. we'll have to have look at the tape. >>> d.c. united in new york for game one of the eastern conference fines. they have knocked new york out every time they have faced them in the post season. this time the red bulls making it difficult. they shut out d.c. united 2- nil. >>> washington capitals looking to snap a three-game skid. they get their captain back on the scoring side of things. ovie got the third goal for the first time in six games but in the third, sam gagne gives the coyotes the lead. the caps have lost four in a row. i just realized i gave you three losing teams so is i apologize for all the negative news there. >> not your fault. >> it's like when i apologize for the to the people of the coffee-drinking world. the time has come to put down the dark roast you've been putting up with and reach for the one you deserve. dunkin' donuts

jay gruden is still trying to win. he's calling the shots. the coach made it clear this afternoon that this team needed a change. who knows, itd may have helped rg iii in the long run. >> for robert to take a step back and be a backup quarterback is not the end of the world. we have got to continue to learn from this and compete. ruden needs quick decisions. with that offense of line, he really needs quick decisions that will not hurt the skins. golden mccoy is the only quarterback on the roster who has won a game this season. now it will be interesting. will he be the colts? who knows. right now i think it gives them a better chance. >> we know how much money they invested in the future of rg iii. >> we will talk about his pedigree and reputation and how it played into this coming up in sports. in froming news coming northwest washington. police are on the scene of a serious accident at 28th and q street. person was hit by a vehicle. we are told that person is unconscious. police are urging drivers to avoid the area. the intersection is comp

gruden was quick to mention his starting lineup wasn't set in stone. griffin is yet to win a game he finishes this season. colt mccoy has led the skins to a pair of victory, including one over dallas. griffin's future with the skins is uncertain now following his benching. >>> a series of memorial events have been set for marion barry. vincent gray and other officials plan to announce details of the services at a news conference this afternoon. a public viewing at the wilson building is expected to be among the plans. barry known to many as washington's mayor for life died sunday at age 78. he served four terms as mayor and three terms as a city council member. >>> today's big snowstorm is expected to have a huge impact on holiday travel. craig boswell is at union station with more. >> reporter: airports are seeing long lines of holiday travelers watching the weather and the flight status board. a winter storm is hitting the northeast with rain turning to snow. >> 1 to 2-inch snowfall rates per hour. the rain-snow line hugging the coast of 'massachuset

that's what holds the group of guys together, jay gruden. they believe in him, want to play for him, work for him. but between themselves, it's becoming more of an issue than i think needs to ever be handled in the loc. >> and jay gruden obviously had a lot of to say today about robert griffin iii's comments. he also has a lot to say about robert griffin iii's performance on the field. and boy, is it not good. we're going to have that coming up in sports. i'm dianna russini live in redskins park. back to you. >> it's a tough room. >>> the nfl says it cooperated when federal agents with the dea surprised players yesterday. >> they were with medical staffers for the 49ers, buccaneers and seahawks. those surprise inspections came amid suspicions some teams are issuing pain killers to keep the players on the field. this was alleged by former players in a lawsuit year. the its knowledge there were no irregularities found during yesterday's inspections. >> so what's the next step for bill cosby? >> at 5:00 tonight, some people are glad the comedia

they did get their franchise qb back, but gruden hasn't had a chance to see what he can do. griffin has yet to play an entire season. instead they've endured another quarterback carousel. today coach gruden was asked to assess that deposition so far and -- that position so far and it wasn't easy. >> you give him all the reps in training camp and he hurts his ankle. we get a good look at kirk and colt and now it's back to robert, but we feel good about robert's process so far. >> sunday's loss means a 3-6 start for the skins for the fourth straight season, but despite many fans losing hope, the players are not. gruden is realistic when it comes to his team's performance giving it a d or f plus, but he also said this group will fight to the very end. >> you really want to look for guys that compete every day and we're not going to stop competing. we're going to preach competition every day and we're never going to give up. we got to claw ourselves out of this thing. i don't feel like the effort was in doubt in the game. i just think the execution wasn't very good. >>> finally

jay gruden was asked if rg iii can get back to the player he was in 2012 when the ritz kids went to the playoffs. >> obviously, having injuries, the type of quarterback he was, his first year he had 800 yards rushing. quite friendly, we have not won a super bowl since 1991, which is where we are trying to go. we're not trying to go 10-6 and get knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. >> jay gruden looking at long-term goals. the wizards are now 7-3 after losing last night to the mavericks. with lebron james and the cavaliers coming to town, the good news for the wizards is the return of bradley beal. sharp, taking charges one end, knocking down shots the other. he scored 21 points in 26 minutes, he was terrific. the play of the day, the charlotte hornets, indiana pacers. rodney stuckey pulls up, shoots, air ball. but he'll with the putback, game-winner, time runs out, pacers win. the indiana pacers playing beat the clock, they win the game. how much basketball, the maryland terrapins playing host to fordham tonight in college park. maryland is just outside of the top 25 in ranki

questions about jay gruden's harsh criticism of him monday or whether he should have chosen his words more carefully sunday were sidestepped. >> i mean i already said it via the power of social media, so there's no point me saying it again here. >> reporter: monday jay gruden said his team needs to be more careful about what they say to the media and the public. wednesday gruden blamed himself saying he should have kept criticism of griffin in-house. >> it was a mistake on my part and after a loss like that we're very disappointed the way we played. >> reporter: and then gruden was asked whether his quarterback was receptive to his harsh criticism and he said that he was. after all he continued, we're professionals here. we have to be in. ashburn dave owens, wusa9 sports. >> dave also said griffin spoke with his teammates monday. linebacker ryan kerrigan said he didn't think griffin threw his teammates under the bus and said there is solidarity in the locker room. >>> always watching always tracking wusa9 first alert weather. >> i was outside today shooting a story and for a good port

jay gruden, the coach, spoke about the loss a bit ago. our sports director is here to talk about that. what a mess. >> you said it correctly, too. they did leave a win in minnesota, no question about that. there are a lot of reasons for it. the defense was inconsistent, breakdowns, miscommunications, no pressure on teddy bridgewater. they lost containment. they didn't blitz him. you name it. for me, rg iii wasn't tough enough to win it. he was indecisive, took too long in the pocket, rolled in the pressure, and the pick, the interception before the half, was devastating. instead of 10-0 and getting the second-half kickoff it was 10-7 with lost momentum. where are the skins right now with the quarterback situation? here's jay gruden this afternoon. >> a good look at kirk. we get a look at colt, and now back to robert. the jury is still out on that position. we feel good about robert's progress so far and we just have to continue to build and see how he does from week to week to week. hopefully, we can see that here at the end of the season

listen to jay gruden. >> robert had some fundamental flaws. his footwork was below average. he took three steps when he should have taken five, and he took a one step drop when he should have taken three on a couple occasions, and that should not have happened. he read the wrong side of the field a couple of times, so from his basic performance, just critiquing robert, who was not even close to being good enough to what we expect in that quarterback position. >> yes, and if you watch the game, i think you will concur. he will either get better, or his future with the redskins will and. that is how far his quarterbacking skills have dropped since his knee injury, nowhere close to where he was in 2012. >> now, we will find out volumes. >> i do not think anybody would imagine this back in 2012, so much hype, and now such a change. >> yes. >> fedex field. redskins fans facing the possibility. >> plus, the pope's plan to make another trip to the u.s., and when we will know if it will include a stop in our area. >> it is getting more expensive for people in the metro area. how the

gruden says mccoy knows the offense well and gives him a better chance to move the ball. he gets points on the board. as for griffin, he will be the number two. gruden says it wasn't a decision rg-3 was happy about, but that he hoped it will help to work out later in his future. he also talked about what it all means for griffin's actual future in washington. >> i think has a man and competitor, he has a future in the nfl. i'm not going to predict it. i'm not going to sit up here and say we're going to sign him to a 15-year contract or trade him. i'm coaching the quarterbacks i have in the best way that i know how. and that's all i can do. >> now all three quarterbacks were called in to hear redskins park last night and told by jay gruden that colts will get the start. we tried talking to robert griffin iii today but he declined to speak. i'm at redskin park, back to you. >> thanks, diana. >> do you think rg-3's time in washington is over? that is our survey of the day. call or text to vote or cast your vote on facebook or twitter. >>> rushed to the hospital, we'll tell y

gruden said jackson was just frustrated. ladies, it's what happens when bad things happen to bad teams who have young players and they're a little bit immature. it's not good right now and it's not getting any better. >> this is the question. what happens if they keep having games like that the rest of the season? >> the question is they're hoping through this five, now six, now seven-game stretch they can figure out that he's going to be their guy. if they don't, then they're going to go into next season not extend him. that's not what you want to happen. then they'll have all kinds of questions to answer who is going to be your quarterback moving forward. the hope was in this six or seven games he could play enough to say he's our guy. we'll extend him. he's our franchise quarterback. >> nobody thought we would be having this conversation. >> but i've got some good news. wasn't some good news now? the bright stuff because i'm a sports guy. you want us to be happy. you heard about the skins. we've got some good news coming
