2026 Commanders Training Camp

On this morning's Locked on Commanders' podcast, the CBS host mentioned Newton had a practice sack and a couple of good plays in the last practice. Did his reading of BGO make him realize he needed to ramp it up?

BGO is powerful, we could resolve world hunger and cure cancer no less manage the team if people would just listen to us 🤣
 
To the point from the tweet below, Diggs is definitely the opposite. He's not a long-strider at all. His game is built on elite footwork, explosiveness, and suddenness. It'll be fun to see how his style complements Terry's.

If this season goes well, I actually think it's very possible both Diggs and Terry are back in 2027. Yes, they'll both be on the older side, but this front office might be thinking differently than teams in rebuilding mode. If Washington is truly in a Super Bowl window, you maximize the window.

The question is: where are the replacements coming from? Elite or even good, young receivers almost never hit free agency. Maybe they finally spend a premium draft pick on a receiver in 2027, but even then, can you count on a rookie to walk in and immediately replace Terry as a No. 1 option? That's a huge gamble.

This isn't a rebuilding team. This is a team that was one game away from the Super Bowl a year ago, with a franchise quarterback still playing on a rookie contract.

Good to hear. I like Harrison when he's been interviewed but otherwise its the one podcast I don't listen to.

Not really relevant, but over the last few months my eyes have been suffering. They would get blurrier as the day progressed, I started to experience double vision, and a salty irritation. It took me a long time to get to the eye doctor due to scheduling. I figured the best case scenario was that my denial of aging was done and it was a sign I finally needed glasses. I was at peace with it. Turns out, my vision is still 20/20. The problem was dry eyes. The ophthalmologist told me to get this heated blindfold thing and a pair of blue light glasses. They've worked great, but one of the results of the treatment is I spend fifteen minutes in the morning and evening blindfolded. So, I decided that was good podcast time.

If only there were politics on BGO, we would make it so :evil:

I can see other teams looking to request late August trades for some of our borderline players before cuts. We haven''t really been in that position forever.

At what positions, do you think? I’m much higher on this roster than I was last year’s, but I still struggle to think of a position group that’s as deep as you’re describing. Not even one, if I’m honest
 
All - I can't make TC on Monday and have a couple of tickets and parking. If anyone wants them, message me and I'll send them to you. I believe that you'll need to provide your name & email address to receive them. If you don't have a seatgeek account, you'll need to create one to use the tickets.

Edit: posted in Classifieds too...but that board doesn't get much traffic

Maybe linebacker? Crazy as it is to imagine we have too much strength/depth at linebacker. Not sure anyone would expend a flyer on Madrano or Magee, but maybe?

If I covered this team and found out I had the one podcast that wasn’t in the weekly rotation for SIP I’d have to lock myself in the lab until I came out with a better podcast, no excuses

I was thinking the front 7 on the D which is crazy to think it is possible. Same goes for the WR's. There will be teams that need improvement at the lower half of their WR groups and we have some guys that fit that need.

Unless Magee gets hurt, he’s making the roster. How many LB’s will we carry, Styles, Chenal, Luvu, and Magee should be locks.

I agree, though i will say I saw some reports that they had Owen’s lined up essentially at off ball LB, assuming primarily in passing situations.

I wonder if doing things like this signals that they could carry less LBs than we may traditionally think, for two reasons. First, because we’ve got position flex in guys like Owens who can fill in, and second, because if you’re doing something like that with Owens in camp, its because you’re planning on moving him, or second, because you’re planning on keeping him which means you’re carrying even more safeties.

Watched a Josh Taylor video about the Wrs, good stuff.

Basically he thinks that Van Jefferson is likely the guy who doesn't make the team (Keim speculated the same). Dyami likely beats Burks. Burks makes the team though if they carry 7. Luke is looking like the starter at slot with some Z. Diggs and him likely interchange slot-Z. Lane makes it as a punt returner albiet struggiling in camp as a WR especially with drops ala his drops during the season.

I notice there's no mention of Antonio Williams in your recap of Taylor's video. Luke starting in the slot is where Antonio was speculated to be. This makes me wonder if signing Diggs is because Antonio isn't the draft day steal everyone was making him out to be. He's a rookie and has time, but just not someone the team can lean on day one.

Or they don’t want to tip their hand
 
Hoping to see some footage of Diggs today
