Player evaluations:
Scott Turner made the point that undrafted players like Heinicke can have five good games and one bad, and people will use that one bad showing as a justification. Rivera believes part of that comes from people not wanting to be wrong about their evaluations.

Offenses countering Washington’s defense:
Rivera has seen a substantial amount of chips, double teams and play-action passes over the past two weeks. On how to counter that, those that are seeing one-on-one matchups have to win their reps.

Ron Rivera pointed out at the beginning of the week he noticed that Chase Young and Montez Sweat had face a number of chips and double teams.

Today said he saw an article that WAS is getting the second most doubles/chips. 1-on-1 guys have to win
Drew Terrell
Dyami Brown:
Washington WRs coach Drew Terrell described Dyami Brown as an intelligent player. "Football makes sense to him." ... Terrell said he can explain concepts to Brown and he easily grasps it and executes it at a high level. Doesn't always happen, especially with younger players.
