Talking with @afreeman86 now – he says for Washington to have a chance to beat the Packers “duplicate what the New Orleans Saints did Week 1. Double team Davante Adams and roll the dice on everyone else.”

One more from @afreeman86 – says he covered Heinicke in college at Old Dominion and knew one day he’d be an NFL QB. Not sure he’s a long-term starter but he can help as a backup

DB coach Chris Harris says Landon Collins has been ‘a joy to work with.’ He said Collins still sits in the DB meeting room, not the LB room. Collins says he plays LB. Coaches here say it’s not quite that simple; will align in some S spots too. but definitely more in the box.

Defensive backs coach Chris Harris said William Jackson III is “coming along,” but still getting used to the way Washington teaches things. Asked what, Harris points to the way the team teaches press technique versus what Jackson is used to from Cincinnati.

Asked Antonio Gibson if he ever misses being a receiver and thinks about what his NFL life would be like as a WR. His answer: “Sometimes, but I’m enjoying this running back. Loving it… I feel like at running back, this may sound a little selfish, but you get the ball more”

RB Antonio Gibson said he’s confident he’ll play Sunday. Said when he hurt the shin Sunday, it was more about the pain but didn’t feel it altered his play when he returned..

Rivera reiterates what myself and others reported – Washington not interested in Tua. “That’s people trying to drum up business” ahead of trade deadline

Kyle Fuller was active but did not play a single snap last night.
I have to think the Broncos should be looking at trading him, particularly whenever Michael Ojemudia is ready to come back from IR.
Here’s the financial details on that:
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) October 22, 2021
Can the Broncos find a team willing to take on up to $5.8M in salary for a CB that’s fallen below a rookie to the bench?
They may have to eat some of Fuller’s salary to get decent draft compensation, but given their ample financial resources, that should be considered.

So we’re blaming this on Baker Mayfield, right? #Browns pic.twitter.com/iSAta3P4dE
— Roberto Shenanigans (@Rob_Shenanigans) October 22, 2021
Charles is absolutely right. The #Browns couldn’t even give away Odell for nothing in return right now. No team is going to take on his $15.75M cap hit. After the season is over though they can release him and take no cap hit. That seems like a certainty at this point. https://t.co/MTPzK4gXoL

Nate Solder has given up the 5th most pressures in the NFL this year of any offensive tackle at 21.
Giants are probably going to have to spend a high pick next off-season on a young tackle.

One of my favorite under-the-radar OT prospects this year is #Louisiana RT Max Mitchell.
He’s athletic, aggressive and does a great job with his hand exchange. He has NFL starting potential – keep him on the radar. pic.twitter.com/Lb6wprS5R5
