we do here," Gruden said of the shotgun. "And the people Ive been around would agree with me; the shotgun doesnt improve pass protection.
"It might appear to in your back yard, when youre playing with the kids, because you can see that rush real good. But the timing of patterns, the rhythm of throws and [execution of] the running game is a lot different....

As reported by the St. Petersburg Times, Martin Gramaticas disappointing performance has been among this years more baffling problems. The former Pro Bowl player is 5-for-12 from 30 yards or beyond. The misses include two blocks, a 60-yarder, 62-yarder and 48-yarder.
"Heres a guy that I consider one of the great talents Ive ever seen at that position," Gruden said. "Some of the things he can do kicking the ball are beyond imagination. I always struggle personally for a period of days when I see him miss because I dont understand how he does that. But for whatever reason, I think missing a big part of training camp with the groin pull, maybe his timing just never got right. We had the balls rejected against Carolina.
"And for whatever reason, we have not had the best of Martin Gramatica this year. But we still think hes phenomenal, and we expect him to make two or three kicks to help us win a game this week...."
Also according to the Times, Gruden couldnt be happier with the play of Charles Lee and Reggie Barlow, who were thrust into prominent roles by the deactivation of Keyshawn Johnson and season-ending injury to Joe Jurevicius. The past two games, Lee has 11 catches for 138 yards and a touchdown, a 53-yarder against the Giants.
"Hes made some yards after the catch, which is something we need here," Gruden said. "These next four games are critical for him to showcase what he can do. We like his size. We like his athleticism. We like his demeanor and the way hes working."
In a related note....
Jurevicius underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in Miami on Friday.
