Jay Gruden will again call plays for the Redskins

ASHBURN — Matt Cavanaugh has found himself handling a variety of roles as Washington’s offensive coordinator. He just won’t be calling plays. Redskins coach Jay Gruden will again take that responsibility, which leaves Cavanaugh to manage multiple other offensive tasks.

“It’s a mix,” Cavanaugh said. “I’m doing some of the installation (of the offense), Jay is doing some of the installation. Jay is running the film, I’m running the film. He’s got other duties, obviously, as the head coach, and if he gets pulled out of a meeting and can’t be there, then I’ll take over and fill the void.
