Jay Gruden: Jordan Reed must work on blocking technique to cut down on penalties

Tight end Jordan Reed this season has proved himself to be more durable, and thus, a more reliable weapon for the Washington Redskins’ offense. However, a weakness remains in Reed’s game: His inability to avoid penalties.

With two holding penalties and an offensive pass interference call on Sunday, Reed saw his tally for the season increase to 10 – which is tied for first on the team with right tackle Morgan Moses.

Reed has now been called for holding six times this season, and offensive pass interference three times. He also has a penalty for illegal touching.
