Digging deeper into Ron Rivera’s press conference comments at Tuesday’s OTAs

I’ve always found press conferences by head coaches fascinating — for what they say, what they don’t say, and what seems to be at the top of their minds.

Tuesday brought us an opportunity to listen between the lines a bit when Commanders head coach Ron Rivera handled questions from the local reporters at OTAs.

I don’t want to try to cover everything he said (it was a pretty long media session), but I do want to discuss a few things that I heard (or didn’t hear) from Riverboat Ron.

Let’s start with #10.

Curtis Samuel

Ron Rivera was asked if he feels he can “close the book” on Samuel’s groin injury.
