From the episode

Mike Washington being able to do things after contact, like Fitz said, is why we might see the split come a little bit more.

Mentioned at 23:30 – 24:30

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Washington's after-contact ability could earn him a bigger split with Gentry.

Jeremy Bernard notes Mike Washington can do things after contact, which may lead to a more balanced split with Ashton Gentry; this suggests Washington could see increased opportunity despite Gentry's role. Bernard compares the potential split to peak Austin Eckler (800+ rushing yards, 600+ receiving yards), indicating Washington has receiving upside.
