Curtis Samuel/Logan Thomas:
Ron Rivera said Logan Thomas and Curtis Samuel looked “pretty good” and practiced “pretty well.” If they were to have an injury report (not required today), they would have been limited.

No injury report yet, since a MNF game, but Ron Rivera said of Logan Thomas/Curtis Samuel: “They both looked pretty good.” Said if they listed them, would be limited but: Both took snaps in group work, tho on a pitch count.

Charles Leno:
Rivera on Charles Leno: “progressed very well… works at it…he and Ereck [Flowers] have a real good rapport. .. He was very physical last week; [his game] was pretty solid, very solid. He’s been consistently like that all year. “
Me: was a solid pickup. Quiet is good for a LT— John Keim (@john_keim) November 24, 2021
Danny Johnson:
Ron Rivera on Danny Johnson: “He’s made a play every week.” Rivera appreciates how Johnson seems to have such a firm grasp on route concepts and reading certain things in the secondary

QB of the future:
Ron Rivera said the team isn’t making any decisions on the QB position until after the season is over. Said they still have a long way to go, but they’ll review everything, the draft, who’s out there, what they have on the team once the games are done

Taylor Heinicke gives credit to Russell Wilson for opening the NFL door to shorter, more mobile QBs. Heinicke doesn’t think about his own stature too much. “I just try to do the best with what I got.” I’d say he’s doing just fine lately pic.twitter.com/sG1XcowERv

Taylor Heinicke asked what’s next on his list of childhood dreams – “Beat Russell Wilson.”

Long-term future:
Taylor Heinicke says he doesn’t think about long-term future. I believe him. Players with his route to starting in the NFL rarely take a single game for granted
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 24, 2021
Taylor Heinicke says he doesn’t think about the long term, as far as potentially being the WFT’s answer at QB beyond this season. Says he tries to keep it day to day and be himself out there.

Winning habits:
Jonathan Allen believes Washington has had “winning habits” all year at practice but they just weren’t translating over to the field. If he says it, I believe it. To him, it’s been key that the team hasn’t “switched up” its approach and now they’re finally seeing results
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) November 24, 2021
Communicating better:
Jon Allen said the team really was having good practices earlier in the year they just weren’t translating to the field on Sunday’s. He said now guys are more comfortable playing with each other and are communicating better. #WashingtonFootball #NFL @SportsJourney
