Jack Del Rio Presser: Jamin Davis has to play better, he didn’t play very well last week

Jack Del Rio, Scott Turner, and players speak to the media after practice

Thursday is coordinators day for the Washington Commanders and Head Coach Ron Rivera gets a break from questions. Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio was up first after the injury report revealed Cole Holcomb is dealing with a quad injury that limited him in practice today.

Del Rio praised Darrick Forrest for his first career start in place of injured Kam Curl. He said the moment wasn’t too big for him. Del Rio said the moment wasn’t too big for the second-year player and he came up big for the team. He was asked if he was surprised by Forrest’s performance, but said the team has worked all offseason to prepare players for moments like this, and he’s off to a good start. Del Rio is proud of Forrest for taking advantage of his opportunity.

Pride wasn’t a feeling Del Rio felt when watching another second-year player. His comments about Jamin Davis are going to get all the headlines today(here included), and he acknowledged that he gave the media some quotes to run with, but he was just trying to be honest. Del Rio said Davis’s performance was just so-so and he has to play better. He didn’t play well vs the Jaguars, and they expected more from him after watching him in practice and the preseason this year. Davis covering slot WR Christian Kirk was a bad matchup, and not something Del Rio wants to happen going forward.

Four guys rushing as one:

“Yeah, pleased with the effort and energy that’s gone into that. Preparing to rush as a unit, as opposed to individual contractors. That’s been an emphasis for us throughout the offseason. They’re putting in the work, they’re playing off each other. They’re playing fast, they’re really working at it. It was a really good start. I think the effectiveness of the rush was much stronger than the sack total would indicate. Love the way they got after it.”
