Jack Del Rio
LIVE: DC Jack Del Rio meets with the media https://t.co/QswnMQOk6Z
— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) November 17, 2022
Kam Curl:
Jack Del Rio is addressing the media. Said Kam Curl has always been an intelligent player, but the safety has continued to improve and been an important piece to the defense because of the different positions he can play
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) November 17, 2022
Kendall Fuller:
Kendall Fuller made some great plays at key moments against the Eagles, Del Rio said
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) November 17, 2022
Players are dialed in:
Practice over..
— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) November 17, 2022
Jack Del Rio:"Guys have done a great job in dialing into the work each week and competing." #Commanders
Montez Sweat:
Montez Sweat is "playing as good as anybody on the edge against the run," according to Jack Del Rio. JDR loves Sweat's effort and energy as a whole, and those qualities definitely translate to stopping opponents on the ground
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) November 17, 2022
I asked Jack Del Rio about Montez Sweat's growth this year. JDR believes he's among the best edge run defenders in the NFL and continues to generate a lot of pressure. Once the sacks come, Del Rio feels everyone in the league will be talking about No. 90

Jack Del Rio on going from facing the 8-0 Eagles to the 1-7-1 Texans: "Those that are disrespected are always scary. ... We know what it feels like what it is to be disrespected because we were last week."

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 17, 2022
Scott Turner wants to keep coaching up Taylor Heinicke, of course, and try to iron out his flaws. But, as Turner put it: "He's gonna walk that line. I don't want him to lose that stinger... I want him to play confident and loose"
