ASHBURN, Va. -- As long as he has been coaching the Washington Redskins, Jay Gruden has never had to think about life without Pierre Garcon.The veteran wide receiver hasnt missed a game in four seasons and is as sure a bet to catch the ball when its thrown to him as he is to be in the lineup. Garcon has 64 catches without a drop this season, providing the rock-solid consistency to go along with DeSean Jacksons speed and sizzle in Washingtons passing attack.I think he is our most consistent player, Gruden said of Garcon. The best thing about Pierre is his durability and availability. Hes always there. He can run every route in the route tree. Hes a tough guy that can catch balls across the middle (with) strong, physical hands.At 30, Garcon isnt producing like his younger days, but in an offense with Jackson and tight end Jordan Reed he doesnt have to. He still has 773 yards and three touchdowns and is a reliable weapon for quarterback Kirk Cousins, who needs 122 yards Monday night against a young Carolina Panthers secondary to break his own single-season franchise passing record.Cousins believes Garcons versatility sets him apart.He can do it all, Cousins said. Youve seen him catch the deep ball and run by people. Youve seen him catch intermediate routes. You see him catch screens. You see him block in the run game. You see him make contested catches. You see him run over people once he catches the ball.Cousins also said Garcons consistency shouldnt be taken lightly. Since a foot injury cost him six games in 2012, his first season with the Redskins, Garcon has stayed healthy and been an important possession receiver for the Redskins.Garcon brushes off the consistency as nothing to think about, nothing to worry about because its his job. His start with the Indianapolis Colts playing alongside Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne paved the way for Garcons approach, which starts in practice.I think there was a standard of excellence there that he knows no other way to do it, Cousins said. Hes always done it at that high level, but hes a very explosive athlete so theres also some natural ability there that you cant coach that when he does run his routes, he gets in and out of cuts in a very powerful, explosive way that is unique to him.Garcon, a pending free agent, serves as an example to young Redskins receivers like Jamison Crowder and Maurice Harris. He wouldve been a perfect tutor for first-round pick Josh Doctson, but the rookie appeared in only two games and may not have enough experience to adequately replace Garcon next season if that situation arises.If anything, this season has been a reminder of how valuable Garcon is to the Redskins as the guy to get the call on the must-catch pass.Its a great comfort to me -- hes just a phenomenal competitor, Cousins said. He works really hard, prepares really hard. Hes a difference maker on our team. He has been now for several years. Hes a guy that youre glad hes been able to stay healthy and continue to contribute.Speed could fade for Garcon in his 30s, but his hands continue to make him a go-to receiver in his ninth NFL season.At the end of the day if you do something over and over youll get good at it regardless of what it is, Garcon said. If you swim every day, youll get better at swimming. If you run a mile every day, youll get better running a mile. If you catch the ball every day, you get better at catching the ball.Game notes Linebackers Will Compton (knee) and Sua Cravens (elbow) did not practice Thursday. ...

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia -- Top of La Liga and now with three wins from three in the Champions League, Atletico Madrids season so far is going to plan after beating FC Rostov 1-0 on Wednesday.Yannick Ferreira Carrasco fired in the winner on a cold night in Russia on Wednesday, and at the halfway point in Group D Atletico is all but assured of qualifying for the knockout stages with an eight-point lead over third place.Carrasco now boasts five goals from his last four games for Atletico after having failed to score in his first seven outings of the season. Against Rostov, the Belgium winger was all action from the start, forcing a save from Rostov goalkeeper Soslan Dzhanaev early on and twice helping to set up good chances that were missed by Angel Correa.Against a tenacious Rostov teaam which had not lost at home for 26 games, the breakthrough came in the 62nd minute when Carrasco met Juanfrans cross with a fierce shot on the bounce after Fernando Torres had failed to convert from close range.ddddddddddddAtleticos star attacking midfielder Antoine Griezmann started the game slowly but played an increasingly valuable role in the second half and could have scored Atleticos second in the 83rd, but Dzhanaev made the save.Defensively minded Rostov has one point from three games in its Champions League debut campaign and rarely threatened to score against Atletico, barring a couple of late efforts easily dealt with by goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
