Ron Rivera says that the mental reps Landon Collins said he was doing during the spring have helped him play fast during training camp. Getting the coaches perspective and thoughts watching the plays

Rivera said standing back and watching the secondary with Chris Harris has been very helpful for Landon Collins. Getting a coach’s perspective on things is valuable insight as he gets back to practice.

Ron Rivera asked about the deep WR corps. Mentioned Isaiah Wright, who had a good day, and Terry McLaurin, whose battle with CB William Jackson III has been a must-see so far in camp.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 30, 2021

Rivera has been pleased with the WRs. It’s only three days, but there’s been good competition. Mentioned how well Isaiah Wright played today and that Terry and Fitzpatrick have been developing chemistry.

Rivera on Steven Sims: "He looks more explosive on the underneath. ... That's what you need from a slot receiver."

Then asked about Humphries, Rivera calls him savvy.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 30, 2021

Ron Rivera asked about Adam Humphries: "You see a very savvy receiver who understands the game. ... He makes those adjustments quickly. He's a veteran guy and he gets it."

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 30, 2021

Ron Rivera on Taylor Heinicke: "I love his competitive attitude and the way he approaches things. ... That's an infectious attitude to have. ... That's what you want. And he makes plays."

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 30, 2021

Rivera said Heinicke has a “never say die” attitude, which rubs off on his teammates.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 30, 2021

It’s interesting watching Cosmi, River said. He practices like there’s something on the line, which is what you want to see from a young player with an opportunity in front of him.

Jon Bostic is perhaps Washington's best example of a veteran who goes out of his way to tutor the younger players, Ron Rivera tells us. Conveniently enough, the team has a first-round LB that could use some assistance as he gets used to the pros, and Bostic will provide it

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) July 30, 2021

Ron Rivera asked about the veteran players helping the younger guys and the collective leadership of the group: "Jon Bostic is probably as good of an example as there is in the group. Just watch him work with Jamin and Cole. Good leaders raise everyone around them."

Rivera on Covid now: "It's harder than last year." Says coming into contact with more people that aren't vaccinated is an issue. Said he has to keep reminding guys.

— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) July 30, 2021

Rivera on COVID list guys..."It's harder than last year because it's open. You come into contact with more people. That's why I carry my mask with me. You have to constantly remind the guys to be careful. This year will be much more harder than last year."
