From @nextgenstats: @theterry_25 was targeted 7 times on deep passes (20+ air yards) in Week 4. That's the most deep targets by any player in a game since 2016 (when NGS began). McLaurin had 4 receptions for 94 yards and 2 TD on these targets.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 7, 2021

Washington WR Terry McLaurin currently owns the longest streak of targets without a drop. He's seen 190 straight targets and hauled in 128 consecutive catches without a drop. And he routinely makes difficult/absurd catches.

What a player. pic.twitter.com/Ip1KqM923n

Did not realize this Sunday, but with 123 yards against Atlanta, Terry McLaurin tied Gary Clark (8) for the most games with 100+ rec yards by a burgundy and gold wideout in their first three seasons since 1950.

McLaurin has been unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/Ck0l4pYnF1

Scott Turner said that Ricky Seals-Jones will fill the role of Logan Thomas at TE. John Bates will fill the role that Seals-Jones was playing before the Thomas injury as far as how many snaps he gets. Sammis Reyes might replace Seals Jones on special teams. #WashingtonFootball

Samuel played 25 snaps against the Falcons, 37.3% of the snaps. Part of that, however, was that Dyami Brown and Cam Sims both got hurt and couldn't finish the game.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) October 7, 2021

This is interesting. Washington OC Scott Turner typically likes to use gun runs in short yardage situations. Fans typically hate them and prefer under center runs. https://t.co/QwurqPiw36

Heinicke finally went up a decent amount on madden +5 a 69 overall now.

My Taylor Heinicke take, as succinct as possible:

He's better than I anticipated. He's mostly played very well. Bills game worries me b/c that was the best 'D' they've played and it was ugly. I just need more sample - and good play - vs strong defenses before I buy in more.

Easily the best blocking I have seen since the Bears return teams in the early 2000’s. @WashingtonNFL pic.twitter.com/EvZ37ZcvDf

The Cowboys asked Jaylon Smith to remove his injury guarantee for 2022. He declined. He would still be with Cowboys if he gave up the guarantee.
But he would have been cut in offseason. Now he is a Packer, playing for contender with more playing time.

In #LARvsSEA, the punt was blocked and recovered by the kicking team. The punter kicks the ball again from behind the line of scrimmage. This is a legal kick and the result of the play was the ball was ruled down at the 11 yard line. pic.twitter.com/saAYrCKlzp

So Seattle gets the big play, lets the clock run a ton unnecessarily (including while the pass catcher celebrates), runs low on time, then misses the FG. With a HC/QB who have been together 10 years.

I understand that what makes college football great is stuff that the NFL for the most part can’t replicate…atmosphere, regional rivalries, creative coaches, etc.

But parity and more diverse championship hopes just matter more to me, so I just prefer the NFL. Different strokes.
