A deal Scary Terry would approve of

I really like this first play design against what looks like 3-match from the Packers. Two verticals clear out the corners leaving Terry wide open, throw is late and high giving Terry no chance for yac pic.twitter.com/4vT8haElek

I’m fine with Heinicke hitting the checkdown here but he has time to go through his progressions and hit Terry on the backside dig who once again has a step or two of separation. He sort of panics a bit in a clean pocket and hits the checkdown a little too quick pic.twitter.com/YWC1maVCPJ

I’m fine with this decision by Heinicke and it’s a good throw. You can make an argument DPI should’ve been called but I think it was a good play by the corner. But, look at Terry at the bottom of the screen. Always open. pic.twitter.com/tfSFPQObZy

As you know, Antonio Gibson has been dealing with a shin issue. Don’t know that this week will be different for him. Team always has to be ready… https://t.co/TqnlYVK0n9
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 26, 2021
Outside of the redzone issues this was probably the most frustrating play of the game. Gibson has one man to beat for a 75 yard TD but he trips over Flowers’ leg. Very next play is a strip-sack pic.twitter.com/vZmitGZLhF

I’m not sure you can really defend this kinda play. Rodgers and Adams are too good sometimes pic.twitter.com/MEM8G1irxN

Nice work by both Tim Settle and Jamin Davis here. Settle stunts across the face of the C to create disruption and Davis takes advantage with a quick read and fill to make the stop pic.twitter.com/zdlyxveA4B

Aaron Rodgers on @PatMcAfeeShow re: Sunday’s game: “That’s a good front… obviously Chase Young and Montez Sweat are studs.”
Also said he was “inspired… watching #4 run for Washington”
After a rough couple games to start the season, d-line has played much better
— WASHINGTON FOOTBALL (@HogsHaven) October 27, 2021
A lot of talk about Chase Young having the “higher ceiling” as a pass rusher than Montez Sweat. Does he really?
— Disco (@discoque5) October 26, 2021
I said after he was drafted that Sweat might be a better run defender than pass rusher. Not as a criticism, but because he’s very good against the run. This was a great play. Didn’t bite on the fake, went under the sift block and then closed on the back and punched ball out pic.twitter.com/U0yHk105hX

Interesting stat from week #7 in the @NFL in only his 8th career start Taylor Heinicke was 2nd of 26 QB’s to Joe Burrow’s 416 total yards with 363 TY.He had 72 more TY then Aaron Rodgers. @WashingtonNFL @granthpaulsen @john_keim @AlGaldi @1067theFan

Washington did not punt on Sunday but scored only 10 points. That’s weird — but how weird? According to @pfref, this was only the 4h instance zero punts/scoring 10 or fewer points since 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Yep, weird.

I would just say that a choice to seriously explore if not make a Watson trade might suggest who is making the calls — and who isn’t. Keep in mind if you’re in the “WFT should go get Watson” camp. Having not gone to law school, I don’t grasp how any team takes this flyer now.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 26, 2021
Whether obvious or not, mentioning now because the Watson talk/rumor mill likely hits another level at the owners meetings this week. Of course teams are interested in a super talented 26-year-old QB. But that’s hardly all that’s in play here. Huge gamble for any acquiring team.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 26, 2021
Why is everyone so casually pushing aside 20+ sexual assault lawsuits? I don’t give a shit about what he does on the football field, I’m pretty firmly in the camp that I don’t want to discuss a Deshaun Watson trade until we know the truth and that won’t happen for a while

Imagine getting released, having a vacation for a week, then signing with a team who has Herbert, Eckler, Bosa, Derwin and a former pro bowler in Matt Overton as your long snapper. The team also is 4-2. #WashingtonFootball pic.twitter.com/kcZr0C5bj5

I’m all for this team taking 99% of the swings to find the right QB. But Watson falls in that 1% for me https://t.co/36qVDIy0rV

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says of Washington Football Team inquiry that the promise of anonymity for those who came forward is the reason not to make the report public.

When asked about the WFT investigation today at the NFL owners meeting, the Jets’ Woody Johnson reportedly told the media: “We’re here for football.” If ever an answer reflected the collective thoughts of the owners, that was it. Wow. Just … wow.

The NFL has in recent years mandated multiple interviews with external minority candidates for top posts. But with teams embracing the shift to conducting initial interviews virtually, the league wants to make sure they spend more time with a diverse group.
