Wes Schweitzer is in line to be the Commanders’ starting center with Tyler Larsen out, according to Ron Rivera. The versatile Schweitzer is getting the nod there over Nick Martin, who is a natural center

Chase Young said he’s still “trusting the process.” He said, “When I’m ready, I’ll be ready. I’m 23 years old; I’ll make sure I’m good.”
Will say, he was in an upbeat mood. What that means? Who the hell knows. Depends if there’s any soreness after working all week, etc.— John Keim (@john_keim) December 14, 2022

Rivera said they made a mistake last year by not disclosing Curtis Samuel’s surgery until late in the season. He said they wanted to keep it quiet, but disclosing it would have bought patience.
“Now that he’s healthy … that’s what it’s all about.”

Heinicke on Daniel Jones’ running: “I’m sure they have more QB runs called for him & he scrambles when he needs to. I don’t think I need to scramble more. I try to stick to the game plan & if the opportunity arises I’ll do it. We have a lot of weapons…let them do their thing.”

Jamin Davis playing with good outside leverage on the TE screen.
Davis said he recognized the screen in W10 (first clip) bc PHI ran it for a TD in W2 (second clip).
One key was the OT not helping the TE vs the DE. “Typically, in this league, you don’t see that too much.” pic.twitter.com/QImX0M86GY

Jim Irsay on Dan Snyder: “I’m not ready to vote him out. I need to hear more and hear my partners talk. I’m not ready to vote him out. Again, it’s been something where you want to get more information about everything is the key.”

NFL EVP Troy Vincent has said protection of QB and defenseless players was a topic in the owners meeting this morning. Raised from the floor was the idea of automatic ejections, and making those personal fouls reviewable.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 14, 2022
NFL exec Troy Vincent is asked about making roughing the passer reviewable. “The officials have been very consistent and accurate, but they are human.” … There will be a “healthy discussion” about making the fouls reviewable, whether it can be challenged or simply reviewable.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 14, 2022
NFL exec Troy Vincent says roughing the passer calls remain down almost 62%, from 121 through Week 14 last year to 76 this year. Disagreed with the controversial call Sunday night for a hit on Justin Herbert. “The question is how do we become more consistent?”

I believe if there has never been a documented issue with a prospect like a crime or an incident, the media should not starting throwing around the “character issues” label
It’s not fair to the kid to have that on his name when it could be something as small as missing a meeting https://t.co/KTxo3ZCODE

If there are actual issues, then the teams will know it and that’s all that matters. If he falls, he falls, and we’ll talk about it after the fact.
We don’t need to be dogging guys on Twitter with ambiguous labels for MONTHS that could end up not meaning anything at all.

The only drawback to Ovi’s hat trick tonight was that we didn’t get to hear @JoeBpXp on the call. He deserved to call Ovechkin’s 800th. Here it was. History in Chicago. pic.twitter.com/L6wdeRXS1S.
