Logan Thomas pass from last night. Nice design (part of me wonders if they could run the RB on a leak as a variation of this too, you’re welcome Scott). Fantastic routes by the receivers. Cam Sims was open before Thomas set up to throw. Terry McLaurin’s route was just superb. pic.twitter.com/TN8Kc5zxeZ

Want to know what good coaching looks like? How Washington is using Logan Thomas.
Last 2 games: Caught a TD, thrown a 29-yd pass, rushed for 1st down on QB sneak from under center and for a first down on a read-option keeper in the gun. He is also having a career year as a TE.

Alex Smith has been more aggressive in throwing down the field in this offense. Think part of it is his trust in/respect of Terry McLaurin because that’s who he’s mostly been going to. Liked the effort to try and fit this one in. Outside CB did a great job sinking back under it. pic.twitter.com/CoUtdKXNJ3

My 40 time never determined who I was! More than a box safety….

.@RiverboatRonHC says he would be a hypocrite if he didn’t give Jeremy Reaves the opportunity he/they did, while maintaining that he has tremendous respect for Eric Reid.
Many don’t get this. It’s why it is important to not just blast off about silly conspiracy theories.
— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) November 27, 2020
This is obviously completely up for debate and we won’t truly know the real answer for another 15+ years.
But there’s a very real argument that Washington selected the best WR in one class, followed by the best running back in the following class.
Both times with only a 3rd.
— Matt Valdovinos (@MVScouting) November 27, 2020
Can’t be emphasized enough about Terry McLaurin:
1) Did what he did at Dallas – 7 receptions for 92 yards, TD-saving tackle, drew 3rd-and-5 illegal-contact penalty – despite being questionable w/ ankle injury2) Nearly half(!) of his NFL-leading 963 receiving yards are YAC (447)

Against the Bengals last week, Antonio Gibson could be heard shouting, “He different!” over and over again about Terry McLaurin.
McLaurin returned the compliment after Gibson’s three TDs vs. the Cowboys:
“He’s very special, and I don’t think he knows how good to he can be.”

The rest of the defense also feasted on Thanksgiving. Other players earning career high single-game grades:
Jonathan Allen: 90.8
Cole Holcomb: 86.2
Kam Curl: 78.6#WashingtonFootball— PFF Washington (@PFF_Washington) November 27, 2020
Every football coach should show this play from Terry McLaurin to his team on film. This effort turned a pick-6 into an eventual field goal.
It’s no surprise McLaurin was voted a team captain unanimously during just his second season.

Terry McLaurin chasing down Jaylon Smith yesterday turned the game around. This hustle is why he’s special. His pinned tweet is a highlight of him throwing a block. The guy is just different than a lot of the players who play the position he does. pic.twitter.com/ELbshGnLGA

Tim Settle, an interior defensive linemen, on a team with FIVE first round picks with him on the D-line, has FIVE sacks this year. Who would’ve expected that? That’s more than Jon Allen and Da’Ron Payne combined.
— Washington Realm (@WashingtonRealm) November 27, 2020
DT Tim Settle has been ultra-productive. Tied for 3rd among DT’s with 5 sacks. He’s done that in 225 snaps. Tied with David Onyemata (332 snaps). Trails Chris Jones (5.5/434 snaps) and Aaron Donald (9/524 snaps)… Settle is a really good fit in the 1 gap system. Really good.

Ron Rivera speaking with the media now, says Antonio Gibson is “starting to show the signs” of being an NFL RB. The rookie is quite good, but I think he can get way better. Sounds like Ron thinks so too.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 27, 2020
The idea that Washington’s skill group was the worst in the NFL coming into the season has been proven loud wrong.
Terry McLaurin has been a top-5 WR in 2020.
Antonio Gibson is an above avg RB and a weapon.
JD McKissic is great in the role he’s used in.— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 27, 2020
You ever up late thinking about Amari Cooper taking less money to stay with the cowboys than us and proceed to get swept by them in two blow outs lmao

First 70 days of the season: 2 wins.
Last 5 days: 2 wins.It is amazing how much easier it is to see hope after W’s.

Don’t give a damn what anyone says, Ron has these guys playing some football.

Rivera on the win: ‘What’s really cool is to watch the energy level after the game…For an hour, hour and a half on the way home guys were having a good time; they’re talking about it. It was really cool. Very gratifying to see guys after they earned it.”
— John Keim (@john_keim) November 27, 2020
Ron Rivera is asked about Dwayne Haskins’ attitude and possible growth in recent weeks. Interesting answer that shows positive steps and what the coach seeks. pic.twitter.com/hM5zkOMvEF

Ron Rivera: The guy that has truly intrigued me is Logan Thomas. All he has done is get better. Kam Curl excites me as he is getting better.

A lookahead idea for the NFL to consider in Week 13: move the Steelers-Washington game from Sunday up to Thursday, while pushing the Ravens-Cowboys game from Thursday to Sunday.
With Baltimore out of the facility until at least Monday, this buys time for the NFL.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) November 27, 2020
The Ravens and Steelers will play Tuesday night, COVID-permitting. That means Cowboys/Ravens (scheduled for Thursday) has to be moved, and that Dallas will have 5 days more rest than Baltimore when that one’s played.
Again, this is what everyone signed up for.

So the Lions fired Jim Caldwell after he went 36-28 and made the playoffs but Matt Patricia still has a job on his way to 13-29 after today’s loss? Can someone enlighten me on the Detroit front office? The Fords are good at cars but football isn’t making much sense.

Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song in the 70s with nonsense lyrics meant to sound like American English, apparently to prove Italians would like any English song. It was a hit, and resulted in this: THE GREATEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN. pic.twitter.com/B3mQWmQgXq
