Can #WashingtonFootball fans give some love to John Bates?

✅1st in the NFL in @PFF Run Blocking Grade for TEs
✅12.8 Yards Per Reception (9th in the NFL for TEs)
13th most receiving yards among rookie WRs & TEs

Head coach Ron Rivera and GM Martin Mayhew made it VERY CLEAR,

THEY’RE GOING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET A QUARTERBACK #WashingtonFootball

.@JunksRadio: “Could this organization go after Deshaun Watson?”

Ron Rivera: “This organization will be able to do what it needs to do, OK? And that’s all I’m going to say on that.”

— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) January 11, 2022

Ron Rivera on the QB search. Says all options opened, meaning those on the roster, trade, free agent, and the draft. Could add a vet and rookie together.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 11, 2022

As for winning juicing attendance, the @JunksRadio note that could be slow to develop with a rookie QB.

Rivera: "Maybe, maybe not." Cites 2004 rookie Ben Roethlisberger as an example of a team winning with a rookie QB.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 11, 2022

Rivera continues: "Come February 2nd... we're going forward. Don't hold me back. ... Let me go forward. Let's get past and beyond stuff. ... We're going to try to do it the right way. Whatever we do, we're going to do it because we believe it's what right for our football team."

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 11, 2022

Ron Rivera jokes about drafting a rookie QB, "If we draft him, are you guys going to be patient enough to give me two seasons?"

I think it was a joke anyway.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) January 11, 2022

Ron Rivera said he thinks Jamin Davis belongs at OLB in a 4-3.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) January 11, 2022

WFT Martin Mayhew said of Brandon Scherff: "Fans should know we made every effort to get something done and we'll continue to work on that. We made an offer for him to be the highest paid offensive guard in the history of the NFL. We'll keep that dialogue to see where things go."

— John Keim (@john_keim) January 11, 2022

Ron Rivera declined to address whether staff changes are coming this offseason.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 11, 2022

Obviously, with Watson, there’s far more than just “character concerns” going on here. A lot of allegations and lawsuits on going. But sure didn’t sound like that would stop Washington from at least checking out that option.

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) January 11, 2022

Rivera said he won't be at the "Today" show reveal on 2/2. That's also during Senior Bowl week, which is where I'd expect Washington's one football voice to be since several projected 1st round quarterbacks will be. https://t.co/z84KgCLV0j

Ron Rivera tells @JunksRadio he expects Chase Young will attend OTAs.: "Oh, yeah. I do." https://t.co/1hqP5IMvEn

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 11, 2022

Rivera is asked about the McLaurin deal. Jokingly scolds @JunksRadio for putting him on the spot. Says McLaurin's agent listens to the show and doesn't want to provide him with negotiating ammo. Then relents.

"I love Terry. We're going to do everything we can (to keep him)." https://t.co/OCnOZy7GEV

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 11, 2022

Ron Rivera said they've had internal discussion about Terry McLaurin. Without providing specifics, he stressed that McLaurin is an important piece of the team's future and they want to get something done.

(McLaurin has one year left on his rookie deal.)

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) January 11, 2022

Rivera said the team is considering hiring a new head athletic trainer. Ryan Vermillion remains on administrative leave because of a DEA investigation. Washington needs help in this area when it comes to the full evaluation of prospects this offseason.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) January 11, 2022

Not the year we wanted but we continued to battle through so many things on and off the field. Just wanted to take a second to say thank you for all of the support this season for our team and me personally. I appreciate it!

I think if they land a really good QB, offense is pretty solid. OL is good even if the lose Scherff, I think WRs are much better if Samuel is back healthy and Brown steps forward in year 2. Definitely need a Mike LB and LB depth. S is fine if McCain comes back. CB is interesting

Joe Judge was a 38-year-old first-time head coach. He was saddled with one of the worst GMs in recent history in Dave Gettleman (see: the results) and got fired after 2 years primarily because they lost final 6 games w/no QB + things started falling apart. Amazing, vicious cycle.

— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) January 11, 2022

Y’all remember that time Joe Judge tried to sneak diss Washington but then got fired after losing to them in the same week?

Good ass times

Joe Judge being fired is the worst #WashingtonFootball news of the off-season and it's only the 2nd day

The Texans are continuing to evaluate the performance of David Culley and the coaching staff, according to a source. They may not finalize their decision until Thursday or Friday.

— Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) January 11, 2022

Culley did all that could be expected of him.

And c'mon, what are the #Texans seriously "evaluating" over the next 3 days that they could not evaluate over the last 3 months? (Besides Flores' potential interest?) https://t.co/N9C4uMTmhW

Since 2014, when Rex Ryan was fired by the Jets, there have been a combined SEVEN coach searches between the two New York teams. Four for the Giants and three for the Jets. pic.twitter.com/IA9DE3Y5W3

State of the NFL hiring/firing cycle:

7 head coaching jobs open, 21 candidates requested for interviews

3 GM jobs open, 13 candidates requested for interviews

And we're still less than 48 hours removed from the end of the regular season.

Giants - HC and GM
Bears - HC and GM
Vikings - HC and GM
Dolphins - HC
Broncos - HC
Jaguars - HC
Raiders - HC

So far.

At the end of Bryce Young and Will Anderson’s press conference, Nick Saban stops them from getting up to say: “These two guys that are sitting up here, they’re not defined by one game.”

He finishes by stating how proud he is of those two players.
