Bobby McCain will be Washington’s nickel CB moving forward, Ron Rivera said. He wants the three best run-fitting safeties — McCain, Kam Curl and Darrick Forrest — on the field at the same time.

Jamin Davis wore the green dot on Monday night, which is a “huge” development for him, Ron Rivera shares. Since he’s now in a position where he isn’t coming off the field, he’s trusted with making the calls on defense and Ron is encouraged by what he’s seeing from him
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) November 18, 2022
Ron Rivera said a big reason for Jamin Davis’s improvement this year is the coaches learning how to push him. As Rivera explained: “Jack really jumped his ass.” (You remember the storyline after Week 1 …)

Still can’t believe how mad people were last week, to the point they cussed out Ridgeway & wanted him cut.. lol.. he’s still making plays though. pic.twitter.com/x4nKg8J84C

In the last five games, Washington’s defense ranks third in points allowed and sixth in total yards.

Despite early optimism, it might be too early for #Commanders pass-rusher Chase Young to play this Sunday vs. the #Texans, source said. His 21-day window closes on Nov. 23 and the #Falcons game on the 27th sounds like a better target. He’s doing well, just may not be ready yet.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 18, 2022
Chase Young today. They really want to see him push off that knee with confidence. Won’t play until they see it. Another week would help. The likely outcome too. DL in good shape. pic.twitter.com/05HO34wb5u

There are a few reasons for this tweet – but a FAR #1 is that I want a rookie QB under at LEAST 5yrs of control and I want this staff to have NO PART in selecting him
Also want more money in 2023 to fix the mess of an o-line this staff created!
…So don’t read too much into it https://t.co/dn42TFWOyZ

The #Commanders disciplined multiple players after social media videos showed them drinking on the flight back from Monday night’s win in Philadelphia, per sources.
Ron Rivera reached out to the league Tuesday morning and addressed it in a team meeting. No NFL discipline coming.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) November 18, 2022
An NFL spokesman said of the #Commanders: “The league reviewed the matter this week and we’re satisfied with the discipline administered by the club.”
The NFL is still reviewing the #Titans situation from last night. Mike Vrabel said the club is cooperating with the league.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) November 18, 2022
Notable in the #Commanders case: the club didn’t provide the alcohol to players.
Roger Goodell sent a memo to clubs today threatening “significant discipline” for violating the longstanding league policy prohibiting alcohol in team facilities and on team planes and buses. https://t.co/dsRvb9L8yN
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) November 19, 2022
The NFL has a policy against alcohol on team planes or buses. The league has started an investigation regarding whether that rule was broken in Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing’s case. https://t.co/HGg7xhBtpk

This is a simple rebuttal to Travis Kelce.
In Week 9 Washington ruined their chances of coming back vs the Vikings with a dumb penalty on a FG attempt.
The Vikings cheered, the long snapper fist bumped.
How come it’s an issue when we do it? #HTTC https://t.co/LLCxXkmWlI
— The Podfather (@TheBurgundyZone) November 18, 2022
At its root this has nothing to do with Taylor’s celebration, Travis’s brother is on that team. He’s pissed that they lost, not that Taylor was celebrating. Don’t insult our intelligence.

Maryland AG Brian Frosh announced today a settlement with the Commanders for failing to return security deposits to ticket-holders. The team has to refund all deposits that have not yet been returned to consumers within 30 days, and they must pay a $250,000 civil penalty.
