He made so many plays, but the ones like this are special. All he needs is the ball and a little bit of space. After that, anything can happen. #HTTWFT @WashingtonNFL pic.twitter.com/84QGXeAgy2

Highlights from WR's coach Jim Hostler press conference:
— Logan Campbell (@loganncampbelll) August 6, 2020
-depth will show more this season than in years past
-McLaurin's growth will come from managing expectations (getting better every day & becoming a reliable receiver)
-No clear receiver for the #2 spot-everyone will compete

Jim Hostler said Terry McLaurin is going to have to be moved around more, go inside and do more with and expand the route tree. That's the next step in his progression.
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 6, 2020
Hostler on Terry McLaurin: "We just need to make him as good as we can make him, as good as we can make him."
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) August 6, 2020
But after McLaurin, Hostler said he does not know who the No. 2 and No. 3 receivers are yet.
Hostler said that Antonio Gibson is comfortable working with the receivers because "it's natural" for him. Called him a "matchup issue" for the defense that the team needs to take advantage of.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) August 6, 2020
Hostler gets into the group. Notes the inexperience. That the group is so unproven makes it hard to know what is lacking. Training camp hopefully helps the coaches figure out what they've got.

Guess I'm going to start a fight, but I find the new Washington helmets uninspiring and boring. Just a helmet with basic numbers like it's 1972. I know it's a stopgap till the new name, but I don't get people just loving them.

The other big change from the new simulation (incorporating opt-outs and Jamal Adams trade) belongs to the #Jets, who have gone from 35.9% playoff odds in #FOAlmanac2020 to 27.2% playoff odds in the new simulation.
— Aaron Schatz (@FO_ASchatz) August 6, 2020
Different types of fumbles are recovered at different rates, but whether the offense or defense recovers a fumble is pretty much random, whether that's an aborted snap (much more often recovered by offense) or fumble on downfield reception (more often recovered by defense).
