Speed, versatility and depth

When I look at the Washington Football Team roster, three words come to mind: speed, versatility and depth.

Ron Rivera’s tick list for players seems to be something like this:

___ “fit” (a. culture; b. scheme)

___ versatility (able to play more than one position/do more than one thing)

___ athleticism (particularly speed)

___ upside potential

Washington’s head coach seems to believe that character creates the foundation for a winning roster, the roster needs a competitive advantage — for the 2021 Football Team that means speed — and the roster needs depth in order for the team to stay competitive when injuries inevitably occur.
