Ron Rivera Presser: Today’s practice wasn’t good enough, we have to take ownership

Washington Football Team Head Coach Ron Rivera addressed the media for the first time since it was revealed that he is starting his fight against cancer. He confirmed that Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio is Plan B for days when he perform his duties. Rivera plans on being at every practice, but Del Rio has enough experience to step in if needed.

Rivera has very vocal about his displeasure with the team and the way today’s practice went. He lit up the team, and explained that they have opportunities, and what is happening in practice now isn’t good enough to win in the NFL.
