LIVE: HC Ron Rivera speaks with the media https://t.co/JMYSMtGyUJ
— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) October 18, 2021
Lack of discipline:
Rivera said he sees a lack of discipline, which "falls on me."
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) October 18, 2021
Mistakes in places that require attention to detail — lining up properly, tackling, etc — have been sloppy for Washington as of late, and Ron Rivera has mentioned multiple times that he's got to coach differently and respond differently to those errors

Kyle Allen:
Ron Rivera said he hasn't considered a switch to Kyle Allen: "I've been very confident in what we've done with Taylor [Heinicke]. ... Not every week is going to be as productive as we want it to be."

"Not every week is going to be as productive as most people want it to be - as we want to be - so we'll just have to wait and see what happens going forward." - Ron Rivera backs Taylor Heinicke, says the last two weeks are part of his growth process

Taylor Heinicke:
On that Heinicke to Humph screen that resulted in a 4-yard loss and contributed to a missed kick, Ron says Taylor could've just abandoned his play-fake and gotten the ball out quicker. That's a nuance that comes with experience pic.twitter.com/UBWvabx4sJ

Kamren Curl:
Ron Rivera on Kam Curl: "He is a good football player and we have to find a way to keep him on the field as much as possible."
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) October 18, 2021
Curl played all 82 defensive snaps against the Chiefs.
Landon Collins:
Ron Rivera says Landon Collins plays "his best football" when he's down closer to the line of scrimmage
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 18, 2021
Ron Rivera on Landon Collins, who has played almost entirely in the box lately: "I think that's his strength. I think when he's down in the box, closer to the action, he plays some of his better football. ... I think with him, a lot of is is how he fits to what we're doing."
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) October 18, 2021
Tackling issues:
Rivera said the team has been limited in practice time lately because of injuries. Leads to more walkthroughs. Also makes it harder to work on tackling, which was a weakness in yesterday's loss.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 18, 2021
Jamin Davis:
Rivera said Jamin Davis has played progressively better over the past few weeks. He did play a little more laterally at times when Washington wanted him to be a little more downhill, but there were several plays when he showed his ability to pursue.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) October 18, 2021
Ricky Seals-Jones:
Rivera said he's like the way Ricky Seals-Jones has stepped up. Seals-Jones had four receptions for 58 yards and a TD against the Chiefs.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) October 18, 2021
Depth:
Ron Rivera likes his roster and #WashingtonFootball's depth:
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 18, 2021
"I feel good with the depth we have. I feel good with the players we're playing with." He said a major issue has been having enough healthy bodies to get done what he'd like to accomplish at practice.
Coaching approach:
Ron Rivera says he may need to change his coaching approach this week. #WashingtonFootball
