Chase Young:
Jack Del Rio: Chase Young is “an excellent football player.” He doesn’t care for any outside narratives that say otherwise about No. 99 pic.twitter.com/WAZG0vItPK

Jack Del Rio (as you would imagine) not buying the 'social media experts' when I asked him about Chase Young pass rushing repitoire if he doesn't win initially on pass rushes. #WashingtonFootball @team980 @LockedWFTPod

Start fast:
One thing that’s not on Del Rio’s weekly PowerPoint: don’t start fast. He’s always preaching that his players start fast and stay that way from start to finish
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) September 22, 2021
Jack Del Rio also says he does NOT have a sign in his office/meetings telling his guys to not start fast. Clearly, disappointed by two quick TD drives allowed in both games so far. #WashingtonFootball @team980 @LockedWFTPod

Scott Turner
LIVE: Offensive coordinator Scott Turner speaks to the media after practice https://t.co/yGwtYILAzq
— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) September 22, 2021
Terry McLaurin:
Scott Turner is up. On McLaurin’s improvements, he said the more exposure he gets, the better he’ll be. Clear example is how McLaurin improved against Bradberry. Finished the night with 11 catches for over 100 yards.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) September 22, 2021
Taylor Heinicke:
Scott Turner up: On what he wants to see as Taylor improves...."Consistently making good decisions."
— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) September 22, 2021
Turner said he knows Heinicke will have ups and downs, but he has the skillset and tools to play consistently.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) September 22, 2021
OC Scott Turner says Taylor Heinicke's vision is a strength of his. Does admit what I think was obvious from #TNF last week, the only sack allowed was on him. TH has to throw that away, despite Cosmi getting beat pretty quickly. #WashingtonFootball
— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) September 22, 2021
Found this to be a compelling answer. Scott: "Taylor can have five great games and one bad game" and as soon as the bad game happens, everyone points out that he wasn't drafted https://t.co/f5ylyJSRlV
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) September 22, 2021
Turner: Heinicke has earned the confidence of this team
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) September 22, 2021
Ricky Seals-Jones:
Turner has some praise for Ricky Seals-Jones. Said he’s handling what’s asked of him well. He’s a good blocker. And of course his TD was outstanding.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) September 22, 2021
Interception:
Scott Turner says on the late INT from Heinicke -- he called the pass play because the #NYG had all their timeouts plus 2-minute warning..."It was Taylor forcing the ball where it shouldn't go." Admits Terry was bumped off route which screwed up timing. @team980 @LockedWFTPod
— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) September 22, 2021
Got Scott Turner's thoughts on his 4th-quarter, second-down pass vs. NY that was picked off: “We’re not just going to run the ball... We want to win the game on offense… I wouldn’t change anything.” Taylor “skipped a step” in the progression and forced the ball, Scott said
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) September 22, 2021
Scott Turner explaining the decision to throw the ball on that 2nd down play in the 4th Q.
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) September 22, 2021
NYG had all their timeouts. Wanted to take the offense to win the game. Wanted that first down, so Washington could then run the clock down after. Like better decision making on that INT
J.D. McKissic TD:
Scott Turner also admits what I pointed out at the time that the J.D. McKissic TD run late in first half was not called. Heinicke saw 'a look' which was obvious based on how #NYG were lined up. Said it was a risk. @team980 @LockedWFTPod
