    The Front Office: Adam Peters and Roster Construction

    The weeks of the offseason where some fans were patting the FO on the back and saying the team couldn't afford Diggs or any other receivers because the team wisely spent all the available money on a highly ranked offensive line is looking really funny now.

    Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 2 - Commander @ Lions

    The commentators seem kind of lost. They just called Hartman Kaliakmanis.

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    If center and LG are in shambles like the camp watchers are reporting, it does not shock me at all that the running game is falling flat. Unfortunately, that sounds like it's going to be up to Jayden to be the running game again.

    2026 Injury Updates

    You know who didn't injury problems? Cameron Cheeseman. Bulk him up and put him at center. He won't have to snap so far, and he's got to be bored of orthodontics and the luxury cars he can afford with it.

    I hate to say it, but maybe he has Josh Doctson's homesickness of the knees?

    Washington Redskins Football Team Commanders History Discussion Thread

    That was never a thought for Shanahan. Beck was acquired in 2010, started in 2011. Tannehill was drafted the same year as RG3 in 2012. I don't think we'll ever really know what they truly thought, but Shanahan's praise for Beck might have been him putting smiley stickers on a tank. Such a...

    Still a risky name, it's inviting him to miss on kicks with odd numbers of yards.

    Hopefully Stevens can keep it together the rest of camp. I wonder if they'll bring in another kicker just for the sake of pushing him, or give the roster spot for another position.

    Willie Smith also did pretty good in his rookie season despite being undrafted. I still don't get how Tyler Polumbus made the team over him, but I guess Smith was a one year wonder considering nobody else kept him for long either. I have a little fear that Coleman will end up being the same, but...

    If nothing else, yeah, I'd kick the tires on Driskel again. Anything but Hartman.

    Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 1 - Dolphins @ Commanders

    If Mariota is going to miss a lot of time, I'd personally want to get a veteran QB besides Kaliakmanis. Preferably someone with past experience in a system that Blough considers most like his own. Doesn't mean he'd make the final 53, but more likely to be helpful to the team in the longrun than...

    The Jayden Daniels Tracker

    Apologize for what? That he hurt some college fans' feelings now that they can't buy Jayden LSU gear, or see his poster on a wall? The whole thing is stupid and getting joked about, but he has done nothing that warrants an apology to anyone. A football player decided he doesn't want his name...

    I guess I understand why they're going to sit Tunsil tonight. I suppose Bates and Allegreti might have earned it too.

    Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 1 - Dolphins @ Commanders

    I'm disappointed Jayden won't be playing. I know, preseason is worthless and all that, but Jayden getting his first drive ever with his new OC seems like it could have at least a tiny bit of benefit.

    ~*Breaking*~ - Dorance Armstrong SUSPENDED for Week 1

    If he said "I could care less" when he should have said "couldn't care less", then it is completely fair that the NFL said "oh, much less can you care about THIS?"
  18. NickyJ

    ~*Breaking*~ - Dorance Armstrong SUSPENDED for Week 1

    He probably placed a bet on a game, but the bet went so poorly that the NFL cut him some slack and decided that the financial loss was worth more than the season long ban. Or it was a bet vs. Goodell and Goodell needs to Armstrong to get paychecks this season so he can pay back the debt.

    The Jayden Daniels Tracker

    Yeah, if that ESPN report about what Jayden's legal team said is going to be the final version of what happened, it's a whole lot of attention for no gain. I'm into stock car racing, and teams there are clowning on it with their car numbers. Sucks that in a season where Jayden is supposed to...

    TV Show Discussion Thread

    I've recently been watching SAS: Rogue Heroes, which starts with their early days in North Africa. 2 seasons completed so far, waiting for the third to drop. Comparing it to other WW2 series, it's somewhere in the range of HBO's war series, but leans into crude humor like Generation Kill.

    The Jayden Daniels Tracker

    "Daniels contacted LSU leadership before fall camp. Lane Kiffin has personally spoken to Daniels." With Daniels getting involved in it personally, I can't find a way to still blame just his mother. Looks dumb, weird, and misplaced. If he balls this season like he has in training camp, whatever...

    Propensity: "a natural inclination, urge, or deep-seated tendency to behave in a particular way or act in a certain standard pattern" This news tidbit sucks and is stupid. But since you use the word "propensity", you are implying that he has a pattern of diva behavior before. What were those...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    It's just semantics, but it grinds my gears reading Daniels has to "find a way" to stay healthy. He got multiple bad injuries in one season. For his entire lifetime, he hardly missed any games. Not in high school, not in college, not in 2024. He doesn't have to find a way. The way is already known.

    Dolphins @ Commanders 8/12 - Joint Practice

    I wonder if the interior concerns include Cosmi. It's kind of odd that there are no names being attached to the ones that are struggling. At this point, it sounds like it's everyone but the tackles.

    Vikings was a frustrating show for me. The last couple seasons leaned a bit too heavy into fantasy. That, and there weren't many characters I liked or respected anymore. I really missed having an Athelstan-like character whose main purpose in the show was having someone for the Vikings to teach...

    To be fair, he didn't say he wanted to trade for draft picks. He said he wanted a TE. Much more reasonable.....

    I have an agreement with the spiders above my shower. If they stay up there, I am not going out of my way to reach them. If they come down to the shower handle, they find out that Mr. Rogers' song about not going down the drain was only meant for humans.

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    I know at this point a depth chart is nearly meaningless, but it's odd seeing Rb divided up into McNichols/Allen and Ford/Henry. It makes it sound like they're holding 2 duels for positions and not aiming for the best 2 out of 4 overall. And seeing Kaliakmanis behind Hartman is disheartening...

    The All Things Offensive Line Thread

    With Biadasz as the center, Allegretti was a backup for both guard and center. Coleman effectively backed up both guard and offensive tackle. By forcing our solid backup into being a doubtful starter and cutting the original starter, the Commanders lost depth at two positions. Coleman being a...

    If he has hope of returning at any point in the season, they'll put him on IR but designate him as eligible to return.

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    This is a very interesting perspective about getting Tunsil that I had not heard before. I thought Tunsil was an opportunistic trade for a star OT that rarely sees the open market, not that it was for the express purpose of replacing Coleman.
  38. NickyJ

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    Because the "depth" we were trying to turn him into is an LG who couldn't beat the player they tried to let walk over the offseason. We are missing a center, safeties, and a street free agent signed a couple weeks ago is seemingly the best healthy CB on the team according to training camp...

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    Since I've been a downer about WR until Diggs got signed, it's time for me to balance it: If Coleman does an admirable job as an OT over the season, and Connerly holds up well, trade Coleman when it gets to the offseason. Quit trying to turn him into a guard, get draft picks or another need out...
  40. NickyJ

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    Personally, I would think very hard about giving Connerly a serious shot at LT while Tunsil is gone. In 2024, Wylie started at RT. He managed well enough the team made a playoff run. I doubt he's gotten better, but I wouldn't want a worse player at LT. That, or Coleman shifts positions again.
  41. NickyJ

    The Front Office: Adam Peters and Roster Construction

    Brandon Coleman has been demoted from every position he's played for the team. Andrew Wylie got demoted. The safeties are a revolving door of demotions. They may not love being demoted,, but they still get their paychecks anyway. After seeing Nick Martin "play" center a few years ago, I've come...

    I'll always remember him as the "we have Jamison Crowder at home" WR after the team let Jamison Crowder leave home.

    Diggs has some big shoes to fill, the last 18 that I can remember to have such a huge role was Trey Quinn. Hopefully Diggs can live up to the legacy.

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    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...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I was over the moon for Fabian and his name, I am over Mars for Diggs. I wouldn't want Diggs on a 2 year deal. For all the praise I give him, I don't want to be tied to him long term if his age does catch up and make things go down hill. The team needs to get a long term solution, and ideally...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I didn't read it as worry, and read it more as "I wonder if fan pressure moved the needle at all" I think it probably moved it a little, but not much. What I wonder about is whether the 49ers injury bug caught their attention and fears someone else would move for Diggs first.

    Today, I feel better about it than I did last afternoon. I spent my time looking back at some highlights of the 2024 season. Highlights, I know. But in the game where we did beat the Eagles, Jayden hit Jamison Crowder in the endzone for the TD. In either that game or a different one, the...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    It is not serious. I've been whining for us to sign Diggs since the day his first round of legal problems cleared. I went to part time whining after a few weeks when I began losing hope. But this for sure hurts Chig's development into a #2 WR. Not that I would have wanted to pin my hopes on...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    It's not too soon. Dyami, Van Jefferspin, Lane, McCaffrey, and Antonio Williams were all going to be 2,000 yards receivers this season, and now none of them are because Diggs is going to be old, decrepit, and soak up all those catches to the tune of 35 catches for 500 yards. It's a talent drain...
