Kam Curl on Deshazor Everett going on Injured Reserve: "I hated to see that, but somebody has to step up."

Curl understands this because he had to step up when Landon Collins went down.

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 17, 2020

Jack Del Rio is addressing the media right now. With Deshazor Everett going on IR, Del Rio said the defense will miss him. He expects the players who replace him to play well.

Rivera says that Cole Luke will indeed be the 4th safety. https://t.co/imMCWN4geE

Ron Rivera said he's "very hopeful" that Antonio Gibson will return at some point in the stretch run... Called signing of RB Lamar Miller an "insurance policy" just in case. Reminder: Miller can't play until next week vs. Carolina.

.@RiverboatRonHC says he is spending a lot more time on the offensive side here in #WashingtonFootball as opposed to what he did with #Panthers. @WashingtonNFL

— Washington Football On SI.com (@WSHFootballSI) December 17, 2020

Reminder: He's still on IR. Needs to get back into football shape after an extended time off.

Also, even if the FB had stayed in the flat on this throw, Curl picks it off. Baited Mullens.

— John Keim (@john_keim) December 17, 2020

Second time this season that Ron Rivera brought up how Kam Curl would have been drafted higher if he had a Pro Day.@WashingtonNFL ended up drafting Curl in the 7th round, and he's emerged as one of the best defensive rookies in the NFL.

“[Washington] should be Super Bowl contenders within the contract of Chase Young.”

Rivera and Kyle Smith have injected the roster with an influx of elite, hungry talent with flexible contracts.

Thanks to wins over the Steelers and 49ers, Ron Rivera is now 27-15 as a head coach in December/January of the regular season. That's a 64% win rate. #TisTheSeason

Young rattled off Montez Sweat's stats...Says he's playing "crazy good...unbelievable."

— John Keim (@john_keim) December 17, 2020

Young said he and Montez Sweat have talked about being one of the best tandems in the NFL: "Why not talk about being the best? To be the best you've got to talk about it; it has to be something you think about every day."

— John Keim (@john_keim) December 17, 2020

.@youngchase907 on some poeple comparing him to the impact Sean Taylor made:

Terry McLaurin on going over 1,000 yards: "It felt good... It felt better to win... First time I've ever had that in my football career so that part is cool. It's even better that we're on a win streak now."

— John Keim (@john_keim) December 17, 2020

Tried to get Terry McLaurin to open up a bit about competing with DK Metcalf this weekend. Key word: tried. "It's not me vs. him, it's Seattle vs. Washington." The guy is just too classy and smart and team-oriented

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) December 17, 2020

Del Rio laughed when asked what challenges DK Metcalf presents. "The guy's a monster," he said. He can run, catch and has speed.

Washington center Chase Roullier said he'd love to stay in Washington but leaves all contract matters up to his agent while in season. His rookie deal expires after this season.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) December 17, 2020

Chase Roullier on Jamal Adams: "We're always going to know where he is... We've been putting together a great game plan in order to combat some of the things he does very well." Adams has 8.5 sacks. Yeah, 8.5

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) December 17, 2020

Asked Chase Roullier about Lions center Frank Ragnow who played last week with a fractured.throat. Chase explained he could barely imagine doing so but did say if there was a year to do it, 2020 is it because you can be a taddddd quieter on the line

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) December 17, 2020

Think Ron Rivera regrets not placating Quinton Dunbar?
- #WashingtonFootball is 2nd in pass defense per DVOA & 6th in 3rd-down D

- Fuller, Darby & Moreland all have better @PFF grades than Dunbar’s

- Dunbar has played in just 6 games & now has missed 21 games over last 3 years

Won’t be doing shows for a bit after a positive Covid-19 test. Thankfully, no fever & I feel fine. Just can’t smell or taste anything which was my clue to go get a test.

So, I will hunker down and hopefully can be back at it before too long.
