New offense:
Ryan Fitzpatrick is addressing the media. He's been focused on learning and growing in the offense. It's not the easiest offense to learn, he said, but the past two days have been good in terms of retention.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 29, 2021
Fitzpatrick said the verbiage of offensive schemes are going to be different everywhere you go. Some of the main differences come in how offenses are designed to attack defenses.

New team:
Fitz on his new team: "We like each other. It's got a real team feel to it."
— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) July 29, 2021
Florida man:
Fitz is a Florida guy: "The weather doesn't compare. It's really nice out here."

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) July 29, 2021
The first player to sack QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in the NFL was Washington S Sean Taylor.
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) July 29, 2021
"I saw a Sean Taylor jersey out there just now and flinched."
Ryan Fitzpatrick, asked about getting sacked 5 times vs. Wash back in the day, including by Sean Taylor, said, "I just saw a Sean Taylor jersey out there and flinched. He was an incredible player. At that time I probably didn't know who sacked me but yeah he was great player."

Figuring out his teammates:
Ryan Fitzpatrick said that he's in the phase where he's trying to figure out guys. Where they're comfortable, what they like, an how they can work together. It's something that comes with time, but all of that will show up in those games later in the season
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 29, 2021
Logan Thomas:
An example of Fitzpatrick working with teammates. He was talking with Logan Thomas about getting the right feel for a certain play, and when the play came up, Thomas was exactly where he needed to be.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 29, 2021
Fitzpatrick said Thomas' quarterback background definitely helps him understand the defenses. He just has a way of getting open and finding weak spots in coverage.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 29, 2021
Roster confidence:
Fitz used to play the numbers game when it came to his spot on the roster… Are they gonna keep a fullback? Is it two QBs this year or three? But he eventually learned that wasn’t helpful for his own game, and now he’s locked in on himself and himself only
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) July 29, 2021
Fitzpatrick has been in the league for a long time, and he's learned that focusing on what he can't control is not productive. Doing the things that put him in position to be a better players and embracing that mentality has helped him a lot in recent years.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 29, 2021
Scott Turner:
Fitzpatrick is also excited about getting a stronger bond with Scott Turner. He wants to be able to anticipate what Turner is going to call in certain situations and know why he's calling those plays.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 29, 2021
Kids:
Ryan Fitzpatrick said that his success against pressure is thanks to all his kids, and getting accustomed to the chaos. Joked that when he's in a hotel room by himself it feels weird by contrast
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 29, 2021
Washington friends:
Fitzpatrick says he can feel one thing that’s different in Washington- “these guys like each other.” Fitz says some teams are too cut throat and it leads to friction

Sam Cosmi:
Chase Young on how he can make Sam Cosmi better: “Give him everything I have… Going in and everyday and destroying him.” This guy is awesome
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) July 29, 2021

Learning in practice:

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) July 29, 2021
Montez Sweat:
Chase Young on Montez Sweat: "I feel like between me and Montez is that brotherhood love and natural competition. We're not really competing, but we are competing, if that makes sense. .... We keep each other going."
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 29, 2021
Young said he has a brotherhood and a natural competition between him and Montez Sweat. He always tries to play hard because Sweat is doing the same thing on the other side.

Chase Young said he and Montez Sweat push each other. "If Montez is going and I'm slacking, I know I've got to pick up the slack because I know he's over there busting his ass. We keep each other up."
— John Keim (@john_keim) July 29, 2021
LeBron James:
Chase Young spent his offseason taking advantage of his new celeb status with appearances, but made sure to work out during his travels. Mentioned LeBron James -- both with Klutch agency -- worked out on Space Jam 2 and eyed that dedication as he sought to focus.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) July 29, 2021
Chase Young said he looked at LeBron James' work ethic — working out between filming "Space Jam" — as motivation to keep active while he traveled around the country for sponsorship opportunities. He made sure to keep up his workouts.
