A couple things I noticed from Jeremy Reaves last Thursday was his ability to recognize plays and communicate.
The first example of this is a screen he knows is coming. Dalton signals to his WR and Reaves recognizes it, tells Curl allowing him to sell out to make the tackle.

The next play is the reverse to Lamb who looks to throw it back to Dalton. Watch Reaves, he recognizes the reverse right away and stays with Lamb but doesn't completely sell out and stays patient and ends up making the tackle for loss
Washington is playing man everywhere on 3rd and 3 except for Reaves who is sitting in the hole. He picks up this crosser because he recognizes that Holcomb is about to be picked by the other crossing route.
He switches roles with Holcomb and picks up Zeke, play results in a sack

Last play I have is the 3rd down stop on the jet sweep pass to Lamb.
Again, he recognizes the play early enough to get himself in the right position. Holcomb and Allen are credited with the tackles here but Reaves' hit at the end is what really stops this from being a first down
