Robert Griffin III and Jay Gruden expect familiarity to breed improvement in Year 2

During portions of their first season together, the messages from Jay Gruden and Robert Griffin III raised questions as to whether the coach and quarterback were on the same page.

However, a few weeks into their second offseason together, the two are singing the same tune. Familiarity should lead to improvements, they agree. All anybody wants is better execution and more wins. The rest will take care of itself.

Speaking shortly before teeing off at linebacker Ryan Kerrigan’s Leukemia Golf Classic at Lansdowne Resort on Monday, Gruden said he believes that Griffin — who battled injury and inconsistency in his first season under the coach — will make a leap forward in his development this season.
