Ron Rivera on what he’s looking for Thursday: “Consistency.” He doesn’t want offense to go three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out. On defense, he wants to see communication and making sure they’re on the same page.

Limited game plan vs New England:
No game planning this week, it gets more and more the next two weeks. Will treat the third game vs Ravens as a mock game week
— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) August 10, 2021
Ron Rivera said Washington’s game plan vs. NE will be limited. The focus for their first preseason is more on their guys and evaluating the talent they have and how they handle the first live action.

First preseason game with Washington:
There’s a lot of things Rivera is looking for during the preseason games that he didn’t get the chance to see last year. One of the most important is how everyone is gelling together.

Bill Belichick:
I asked Ron what he appreciates most about Bill Belichick. His answer: “There’s no apology for who he is.” Also said he has no problem watching guys like Bill, Andy Reid and Pete Carroll and borrowing from them. That’s a huge part of coaching in the NFL
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) August 10, 2021
Ron Rivera on Bill Belichick: “The best thing about coach is there are no apologies for who he is. He’s true to form. …I enjoy watching him. … They were a dynasty basically, and now they’re rebuilding and it’s going to be fun to watch.”

Michael Jordan story:
Ron Rivera shares a story that Michael Jordan shared with him one time about judging players when moments get big & important. That’s not exactly a preseason game but bigger test ahead.

I asked Ron Rivera if any players have stood out since the WFT started practicing with pads. He mentioned something Michael Jordan once told him … pic.twitter.com/2KWRVN9RsI
