    The All Things Offensive Line Thread

    The run game/lackthereof due to no push by the O-line has me worried because I think the O-line will be decent enough in pass blocking on downs where a pass isn't a 75% or higher probability but if the inability run block creates 2nd and longs routinely, my worry will set in.

    The Front Office: Adam Peters and Roster Construction

    I've been a pretty big Adam Peters defender since he was hired considering the task at hand rebuilding an entire roster with little leftover from the previous regime worth keeping. I also still ultimately felt this was at least a 4-5 season project despite any isolated seasons where they might...

    The Jayden Daniels Tracker

    Eh....to me he should be looking downfield initially because those are likely where at least his first two reads are on most plays. The dump off option is usually the sneaky one that is there if nothing else is open.

    Washington Redskins Football Team Commanders History Discussion Thread

    Wasn't the main criticism of Kliff when they hired him that his scheme tends to start out of the gate hot but was poor at making adjustments as the season goes on and opponents get film and make adjustments? I think the ultimate separation had more to do with Quinn (and maybe front office as...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    To be fair, on the Jayden Daniels sack wasn't the primary issue that both Tight Ends missed their assignments on the overload blitz? One of them was John Bates who has years of service as a premier blocking TE that to me at least suggests this was rust or a mistake and am willing to give him...

    Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 2 - Commander @ Lions

    That first series on offense is sort of why I was not sure if it was worth it to even play Jayden in the preseason, especially if they were going to come out and not run the ball on the first two downs. Now the question is whether 1 series was the plan the entire time or if the O-line getting...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    I was okay with Quinn depending on who the O-coordinator was. Wasn't too hot on the Kingsbury hire but it's not like I can lie and claim I was displeased with the 2024 season but I also figured the building of the team was still a work in progress and assembling a championship isn't always a...

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    Teams release capable players all the time when they are confident that the depth is ready to step up and take on the starting role. I am not saying that in this specific situation with Biadascz it was the right call but a lot of winning teams that build through the draft turnover veterans all...

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    The O-line is the main concern for me headed into the season but not necessarily because I think they will be as terrible as that last place ranking, I just think there is a chance they could be as a unit just mediocre enough to hold the scheme back. When I look at the skill position players...

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    I am really hoping the front seven and pass rush can carry this defense early on. Get after the passer and force errant throws, miscues, bust up timing. Even a healthy secondary on this roster has question marks.

    Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 2 - Commander @ Lions

    I like seeing the starters play a little in preseason but I also understand the question of how much are they really getting accomplished playing a series or two for the entire month of August. I think for rookies there is an exception since preseason is at least one step closer to what it will...

    Yep and let's be honest, not that I am shading Purdy, but he was drafted right onto a talent-rich contender of a team.

    Random NFC East Thoughts

    Can someone explain the Jaxson Dart love to me? What exactly did he show in his rookie season that seems to have so many already convinced he has the goods and will be a franchise QB? I am not saying he won't or can't but he didn't do anything from what I saw that planted the seeds of being...

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    Exactly. No one talks about the 49ers going all in on bust Trey Lance as the future because they happened to have drafted Purdy to zero fanfare with the final pick the following draft. No GM hits on all their picks, but mistakes are quickly forgiven & forgotten about if your ratio is on the...

    My memory isn't nearly as good as it used to be, but some names just etch themselves into the brain!

    The All Things Offensive Line Thread

    Losing a top 3 LT is never going to not be a blow to the line, but it doesn't mean the next man up isn't going to be good. Remember when Trent would get hurt and Ty Nseke was dragged from the grave to start and while he was no Trent, he held his own.

    2026 Injury Updates

    So is Amos still recovering from last season's injury or is that specific one in the past because from what I remember he was cleared to start participating again but then the ankle.......(injury?) thing happened and he hasn't been on the field since. Is this a situation where the coaches are...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    You always want good depth at every position but I'll be honest once Diggs was signed and solidified the WR2 spot, I am more comfortable with the room at 3-6/7. I think Williams initially might have been forced to into a role he wasn't ready for and/or something outside of his skill set but as...

    The Jayden Daniels Tracker

    Yeah a big problem with this entire story is how much "extra" stuff seemed to get added in when ultimately this is a pretty simple case of hey if you want to keep making money off my name, image, & likeness then I should be compensated for it since it is way past the expiration period, yet it...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    I also am curious as to why there is an assumption by some of the prediction folks that the defense will be all-world terrible again this season. I am not expecting a Top 10 defense in 2026 but it should be improved in a lot of areas and if the offense gets back on track the defense doesn't need...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    Honestly I think a lot of the negative predictions for the team has a lot to do with how tough the schedule is out of the gate. A lot of the national media likely thinks the season will be buried within the first 10 weeks. You combine that with two new coordinators and there is a natural...

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    Yeah and I have always been of the mindset that a good WR beats a good DB 9/10 if it is truly a 1 on 1 situation because there are just so many possible routes being ran and reacting is always harder than acting. There are a small handful of elite DB's who I'd expect to regularly lock up a #1...

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    One understated aspect of Diggs joining the WR room is to beat zone coverage. Looks like he was doing that at camp too. Sometimes having a veteran who has a good feel for the game and has seen every defense the NFL has to offer can be a comforting presence because they have a good recognition...

    What does success look like in 2026?

    I think the interesting situation here is that you have a HC in this third year causing whispers from the peanut gallery totally independent of the coordinators now so the question is will the coordinators even end up getting a chance to grow with the younger personnel if the organization...

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    With Tunsil likely out most of the season (I am going to assume the entire season unless a playoff berth is up for grabs going into the final few weeks) is it plausible even if they like Brandon Coleman in the LT role they will look to sign a quality vet for depth & rotation purposes just to not...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I think outside of the Lattimore trade (probably the most "putting all the marbles in for right now" move of his tenure so far) I like how AP is going about signing older vets. These are mostly short term contracts that are not blowing up cap or ability to make more moves and they feel designed...

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    Responding way late because I was on vacation for the last week but the whole "What is a true #1 WR?" thing.....I sort of look at it the way I do the QB position. I think in a normal season there are probably anywhere from 4-6 QBs that actually make their roster better. Of course having any...
