Lions postgame

Anybody see what Jamin Davis posted to IG after Rivera singled him out again for D this week?

oh boy

JDR and Rivera went full stupid on that one. Don't blame Davis for being pissed.

JDR throwing anyone under any sort of vehicle is comical, fucking bum ass coach.

Not a fan of Chris Russell but:
Here's the most interesting part of the #Commanders pitiful defense so far through two games...

Last year, on third-down, they were 2nd worst (31st) in #NFL at 48.47% allowed.

This year, they are tied for 5th BEST (4-13 @ Det, 3-12 vs #Jags) at 28% allowed.
@Commanders
#NFL

Well yeah when they get a first down after two plays you don't get a chance to stop them on third down.

That's hilarious. We ramped it up a notch this year. Why wait all the way until 3rd down when we can collapse on 1st and 2nd down. No more procrastinating.

Jonathan Allen had a good interview w Junkies this morning.

Asked about scheme .. he sd to him it doesnt matter about scheme if the players dont execute. Its up to players to make tackles and plays.

Asked if players arent giving effort - he, like a good captain, focused on himself. Said on that 3rd and 15 where Swift caught ball fell and got back up and scored .. he stopped bc he thought someone would come and touch him down.

Asked if he was still injured - he sd he had no set backs in detroit so hes good to go

Asked about ideal snap count after playing 110 snaps in 2 weeks - he sd ideally 40 snaps a game but it depends on how individual game plays out

Asked about coaches signaling out Jamin - sd he purposefully doesnt listen to media stuff, hasnt heard anything but some players are aware

Asked about his sleeping - goes to bed btw 9-10, maybe take a melatonin night before game

Asked about Jalen - sd they need pressure up the middle. jalen gives more chances for sacks vs a Goff who gets teh ball out quick. Sd if a QB gets ball out quick .. pass rush doesnt matter.

Asked about his favorite drink - loves bourbon neat, drinks the expensive stuff

any good QBs in this years draft?

I think we need to see Wentz for a full season and then judge him. 2 games is simply not enough of a sample size.

We have some really good dudes on this team. We need a new HC that can actually admit we are lacking in talent on defense, and ESPECIALLY at LBer.

I read how critical Rivera was about the players performance during the Detroit game. A good head coach does not publicly criticize or bash his players. He did the same thing in Carolina. It is a shame that he doesn't consider the failures of the coaches to be the reason for the team's failures. I sincerely hope that him and his whole staff are fired after this year. In fact, get rid of the entire staff, especially the conditioning coach. I give Rivera props for straightening out the mess that Snyder gave him, but he is not and (IMO) never will be a consistently winning coach. I have no idea or prediction who should replace him, but he needs to go. Washington will always be a more losses than wins team as long as he is here.

Someone young and exciting! Please not a damn re-tread. Let's move into the 21st century!!

I like that RR finally spoke open and honestly, I'm sick of the coach-speak.

When you do that you open yourself up and your staff to get the same treatment, as we already saw with the post on social media. Also you have devalued your own player who is a first round pick. No one wins doing that.

To me it is very simple. What can Davis do best? What can't he do? Don't ask a player to do something he can't and put him in the position to make plays.

Maybe asking him to cover people isn't his thing. That is their fault for drafting him and asking him to do it. That is poor scouting. By the looks of it he can rush pretty well so have him do that, send him on blitzes, move him around and go get the QB.

Davis draft profile was good size, sideline to sideline ability with good coverage skills

hes our best equipped coverage LB .. but 1 on 1 in space against a Swift or WR isnt ideal for any LB. Teams scheme and move guys around and will get a handful of snaps with a mismatch. That will happen.

Hopefully Davis can become a Marcus Washington

but LBs are cheap in FA

maybe dont use a 1R on a LB unless its a clear cut stud or someone who played LB in college but will be an edge guy (parsons)

Can anyone link to Ron or JDR's comments this week? I saw his comments last week but all you guys are just talking about what he said without actually linking to a transcript.
