All aTwitter: 1 January 2021 - New Year’s Day (we made it through 2020!) edition

2020 is coming to an end. Take a look at the wonderful ways you helped a child with cancer during a very difficult year. Memories you gave to a family with a child in treatment for cancer.

Happy New Year from

This is awesome. What’s amazing to see is how many opponents come up to Young during/after the game to tell him how good he is and can be. Washington has something special here and everyone knows it https://t.co/mFNw6oVpsw

Reasons @WashingtonNFL's pass-rush should feast Sunday night:

- Eagles by far the worst in the NFL with 62 sacks allowed. (Next closest is the Bengals with 48.)
- Washington is 5th with 44 sacks
- Eagles will run out their 13th O-line combination of the season.

It feels disrespectful to leave out the fact that Washington struck gold with Terry McLaurin in the 3rd round in 2019

— WASHINGTON FOOTBALL (@HogsHaven) December 31, 2020

Some of you think it's a good sign that RR was allowed to cut him. Okay. But eventually Gruden got to cut RG3. And Shanahan got to bench/trade McNabb and trade Haynesworth too. Dan's decisions always lead to misery followed by long overdue/reluctant consent. #WashingtonFootball

Only ONE has a winning record with the franchise:

He retired in 1952.

People gotta stop comparing RG3 and Dwayne. There's zero comparison. RG3 was fantastic as a rookie. Rookie of the Year and the team had a chance at a deep playoff run. Stop.

They’ve been in the red zone twice, including a trip to the 1-yard line. They’ve tried trick plays. They’ve tried a field goal.

On Sunday, Washington could become the first team this century to go 0-for-16 on its first offensive drive of the game.https://t.co/ijFCIDHWXL

Practice report: Today is the big day for Alex Smith. They’ll know a lot by how he feels tomorrow.

My read: He’s clearly not 100%. He might be 80%. Tough call ahead for Rivera.

Ron Rivera on Terry McLaurin (ankle): "You guys didn’t get a chance to see it because we didn’t want you to see it, but he looked good. He moved around. It was a positive step. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow.

Ronald Darby will be facing his former team, of course. He turned out to be a solid pickup for Washington. "He’s been able to stay healthy for us, which when he’s been healthy, he’s played good football," Jack Del Rio said. "He’s been dependable. He’s been productive."

If you guys and gals don’t think that having Collins and Curl on the field together with a true FS wouldn’t be valuable - I don’t know what to tell you.

Call him a SS; call him a WILL - IDC what you call him but Collins on our D along with Curl makes us a better unit. Period!

— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) December 31, 2020

Please people, don’t let this start the cut Landon Collins talk though.

Landon should play as our true WILL https://t.co/Cs8OH0VOmE

— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) December 31, 2020

The difference between a SS and a WILL LB in today’s NFL sub packages(which we are in over 60% of the time) is very minimal.

Plus, he’s already gotten paid.

— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) December 31, 2020

There are many areas where Dwayne Haskins needed to be better, but here's one that stands out: Haskins completed just 26.8% of his passes on throws 10+ yards down the field this season.

That's the worst mark for any QB in the NFL over the past 10 seasons.

He hasn't practiced in two months but wasn't placed on injured reserve.
