The RG3 vs Jay Gruden Beef...
These two have been cooking all day!
RG3 vs Jay Gruden:
Live in Action
Usually, we have to wait decades to hear a former coach and player air out their beef live to the world. Usually, it comes in the form of a documentary or a tell-all book. But in the beauty of today’s world, we get to watch it all unfold live on Twitter.
RG3 and his former coach Jay Gruden have been going back and forth with each other over the past few days cooking each other on Twitter.
In case you need a refresher, Gruden was the Commander’s head coach from 2014-19, a period of time that saw the team transition from the often injured RG3 as starting quarterback to Kirk Cousins. Their time together time saw dysfunction that seemingly only Washington was capable of during the Dan Snyder years.
Few would have guessed the two were on great terms, but the dirty laundry they have been throwing is awesome, and it all started with a simple tweet about the Philadelphia Eagles.
Gruden started things off by offering an apology to any quarterback he subjected to a night like that of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was repeatedly pressured in a 32-9 loss.
Less than a half-hour later, here comes Griffin jumping in. “SAY WHATTTTT???” he responded.
Gruden responded by questioning if he really didn't prepare Griffin for pass rushes, at which point Griffin tried to go for the kill by saying the coach had told him he didn't know how to coach a dual-threat quarterback like him.
This seemingly left Gruden shocked cause he didn't respond until the next morning. Where he was seemingly conceding that he wasn't right for Griffin, blaming his coaching staff and sending a well wish.
That could have been the end of it. That seemed like the end of it. But of course that wasn't the end of it.
Griffin reawakened the feud with a clip from his podcast going through a past incident with the coach. Griffin accused Gruden of pushing him into a news conference in which the quarterback subtly criticized his teammates, then threw him under the bus a day later.

Gruden hilariously responded saying: You really want to play this game?
Then telling him to go race a pigeon, since RG3 raced a hawk on live TV before a Seahawks game last season:
But that wasn’t the end this is where things get dark. Gruden went a step further with a takedown of Griffin's post-Washington career, then opted to delete the tweet. But of course, I got the screenshot:
