Alex Smith:
Asked about Alex Smith’s comments that Washington’s defense has been “predictable” defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio firmly disagrees. “Anybody can take shots”
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 14, 2021
Jack Del Rio on the criticism that his defense is "predictable": "Bottom line is we have plenty of looks that we present, plenty of personnel packages that we have presented, plenty of calls that we presented. It's about execution, and we haven't executed at a high enough level."
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) October 14, 2021
More Del Rio: "There's not going to be an answer where everyone says, 'OK' and you stop questioning..." He said people can "question it until we play at a higher level. The bottom line is we're working hard on this."

Jon Gruden:
Jack Del Rio, WFT DC and ex-Raiders coach, on the Jon Gruden emails: "It was, I guess, shocking. Embarrassingly bad for a person in that position... I don't have much respect for it." pic.twitter.com/kET7TH1qV2

Jack Del Rio on the Jon Gruden emails: "It was, I guess, shocking. Embarrassingly bad for a person in that position to have those kinds of thoughts and to express them like that. I don't have much respect for it."

Jamin Davis:
Jack Del Rio on Jamin Davis. Says the rookie LB is being a bit too "careful" in the game. Just wants him to play free.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 14, 2021
LB Jamin Davis trying to be too exact at times, DC Jack Del Rio said. He's been put in a tough position at Mike and can overthink.
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) October 14, 2021
"[We] want him to let it rip a little bit."
Del Rio knows Jamin Davis cares about his craft — but maybe cares too much right now. JDR: "Would like him to say 'To heck with it, I'm going to go play'
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) October 14, 2021
Scott Turner
Antonio Gibson:
Scott Turner on if the shin limits Antonio Gibson: "No. he's good. He's not limited. We take care of him during the week and we make sure he's ready to go, but as of now once Sunday hits he's ready to go."
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 14, 2021
Note: Kansas City the 29th-ranked run defense
Red zone problems:
Scott Turner addressing the media. Felt like the offense moved the ball well, but not finishing in the red zone really made the difference. When you’re in those situations, you can’t leave with three or zero points. They have to score touchdowns.

Tress Way feels like he’s hit a few lower punts this year and is a “little frustrated” with his performance so far. Loves how his coverage team is working for him and is looking to get into his “groove” ASAP pic.twitter.com/W3u9wti3MC
