Ron Rivera said G Wes Schweitzer is out of concussion protocol. He will work on the side Wednesday. They need to see where he’s at with conditioning etc. But he’ll be back.
— John Keim (@john_keim) November 21, 2022
J.D. McKissic will be examined again in a few weeks after being placed on IR. And in a bit of a surprise, Wes Schweitzer has cleared concussion protocol and will start working his way back into football shape.

I think most Commanders fans know to temper their expectations for Chase Young when he comes back. But maybe they need to be scaled alllllllll the way back. It looks like Rivera thinks Young will still be playing fewer than half the snaps at season’s end. pic.twitter.com/sFrRkbIDE1

It’s not just that Daron Payne is having an excellent season & blossoming into a great DT.
It’s also that…
…he is durable – one missed game over five seasons.
…he’s still very young – this is just his age-25 season.
This is exactly the kinda player you pay.#Commanders

The #Commanders held Dameon Pierce to just 8 yards from 10 carries yesterday. Allen/Payne/Sweat will get all the attention, but the DL rotation all played a big part in that run defense. Ridgeway, Toohill and Obada all had strong plays against the run to shut it down

He was actually a 5th round pick by the Cowboys https://t.co/flQzbrDWDz

It’s time to give Jack Del Rio some major credit. I was at FedEx when he was booed in the preseason. Many were upset at their approach to the LB position. Many were upset that we let Ioannidis and Settle go. But cheaper rotational players like Obada and Ridgeway has paid off.

Have been feeling this way for a while and Pro Football Reference just backed it up: The Commanders have the second-fewest missed tackles in the NFL; just 33 in their 11 games. Only the Giants are better (and they’ve played one fewer game)
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) November 21, 2022
This is crazy considering PFF has charged them with 63 missed tackles this year lol. Looking through the missed tackles I have no clue how they came up with 33 https://t.co/9NzabSEg21

PFF’s highest graded Commanders from yesterday’s win:
– Jonathan Allen: 90.2
– Brian Robinson: 86.0
– Montez Sweat: 84.0
– Kendall Fuller: 82.8
– Kamren Curl: 82.0— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) November 21, 2022
I’m surprised Darrick Forrest isn’t here, can you share what his PFF grade was yesterday?
— Owen Kidd (@OKiddVT) November 21, 2022
68.5. That’s above average and is still a good grade.
We don’t grade tipped INTs very high. It was a great catch but it was all because of St. Juste. Allowed a catch and then missed a tackle that was taken back because of an offensive penalty but we still grade it
— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) November 21, 2022
I mean there are tipped ints and then plays like the one Forrest made where he lays out, scoops the ball off the turf and lands in bounds. Surely not all tipped ints are graded equally in the system, are they?
— Liberal420lool (@liberal420lol69) November 21, 2022
They aren’t but they won’t be graded as highly as an INT when you’re in primary coverage. Forrest’s INT was graded higher than a usual one
— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) November 21, 2022
We got this dude off of waivers after Dallas cut him. He’s 23 years old and he is under contract until 2025. What a huge pickup by this front office. https://t.co/WhmQqsgFhI

This is wild.
Commanders dropped passes in Carson Wentz’s six games: 13
Commanders dropped passes in Taylor Heinicke’s five games: 0
— Doug Kyed (@DougKyed) November 21, 2022
I’m stating the obvious but I have never heard the question asked to Rivera or Turner? TH operates better with tempo. Why don’t they use it earlier in games to get him comfortable? @john_keim @JPFinlayNBCS @PeteHaileyNBCS @BenStandig @Sam4TR
— Tim Meek (@IndySkinsFan) November 21, 2022
We’ve brought it up to Scott and Taylor. Even though going up tempo earlier might help Taylor, it seems like they worry it could compromise the formula that’s working pretty well (ball control, rest the defense, etc).
Here are the three times they’ve addressed it: pic.twitter.com/dRUGFJU16E

#Falcons make a flurry of moves, including placing TE Kyle Pitts and DT Ta’Quon Graham on IR.
DT Jaleel Johnson was claimed off waivers. Atlanta still has an open roster spot. https://t.co/Ltaj7TPE9u

Rivera said he feels momentum building in the fan base. “I stopped to get gas today and I had 5 people come up to me and congratulate me. It’s a cool thing. … There had to be 10,000 Commander fans [in Houston]. That was amazing and our players mentioned it and talked about it.”

The Commanders are 5-1 since Ron Rivera said,
“Quarterback” pic.twitter.com/PEkZSSKOo8
— Darren M. Haynes (@DarrenMHaynes) November 21, 2022
KUDOS to Scott Turner! This NEEDS to be said…
He’s completely changed his offense (one that Ryan Fitzpatrick said did NOT cater to who was under center) and is now using a LOT of 12 personnel, running the football, controlling TOP and not asking his QB to do too much!
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) November 21, 2022
Ron Rivera showed us his Air Jordans today.
This is what happens when you win 5 out of 6 games. pic.twitter.com/TXP652TfFS
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) November 21, 2022
As @BenStandig noted near the end of the Zoom presser (and I agree), Ron Rivera is borderline giddy right now. Joking around, showing off his shoes. Knows there’s more work to be done but is proud of how the Commanders are progressing pic.twitter.com/FwVBTvjWwR

Zach Wilson feels like the Jets defense let down the offense pic.twitter.com/5N6LBf7yDM
— Ballsack Sports (@BallsackSports) November 21, 2022
For the first time, #Jets coach Robert Saleh left the door open for a QB change, saying all options are on the table. Zach Wilson has been informed his job is up in the air.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 21, 2022
Here were some of the quotes from one of Sanchez’ worst games as a rookie where they lost to the Bills when he threw 5 ints. Compare this to yesterday https://t.co/9v5sL9Y7LF pic.twitter.com/KRkilsntoS

“I have zero sympathy for @ZachWilson. Like, less than zero.”@JOEL9ONE minced zero words about the way the @nyjets QB handled his business in New England on Sunday.

.@danorlovsky7 reacts to Zach Wilson’s comments on if he felt the Jets’ offense let the defense down:
“The comments were pathetic and they reek of insecurity. … He pointed fingers at everyone else but himself.” pic.twitter.com/1Z7JyjEiBw
— Get Up (@GetUpESPN) November 21, 2022
In 2021, Zach Wilson had the worst completion percentage in the NFL at 55.6%.
In 2022, through 11 weeks, Zach Wilson has the worst completion percentage in the NFL at 55.6%.

I imagine more folks now rate the 49ers as the NFC’s best. Can’t really argue against it.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) November 22, 2022
It’s still weird to me that the players have no idea exactly how much time is left at the end of the game. Is there an actual reason why soccer didn’t evolve when the ability to stop-and-start clocks was invented 100 years ago?
