    Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 2 - Commander @ Lions

    I listen to every Keim podcast, and I know we have a long history of listening to the exact same podcasts and somehow at times hearing completely different things. So with that caveat, here's the impression I've gotten from Keim on the Biadasz situation: A. They thought Biadasz was an...

    Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 2 - Commander @ Lions

    I was fine with them releasing Biadasz — but only if they had a legitimate replacement lined up in free agency. Apparently, judging by Keim's podcast, they actually had two targets, although who the second one was remains a mystery. But Peters doesn't get brownie points from me for swinging and...

    Ravens joint practice should be interesting. The more I hear and I watched some of it when out for dinner last night how dominant the Giants were over the Dolphins -- the less I take from this team's week with the Dolphins. Raanan was on a podcast weeks back and seemed not completely sold on...

    Agree. When I said the WRs sucked from what we hard, I saw a little of it myself, in camp and that extended to the preseason and Peters let it ride. But I don't think he will repeat the same mistake at O line this summer -- that wasn't sarcasm, I meant it. I am not as high as some are on...

    Josh Taylor, is just a fan, but as I mentioned for a dude who went to 11 practices its hard not to catch things. The 2 O lineman he highlighted that looked good in camp, are the same ones ironically Quinn hits on here.

    That was beyond bad, that Jayden series. embarrassing. Before we heard rumors they might look at the waiver wire after the last cuts or might try to make a trade. Now I think they have to do so. The Lions did us a favor by game planning to exploit Washington’s center. Showcasing that you can...

    If they suck, I'm fine with dumping Peters, but I doubt they will. I don't think Peters has done a particularly good job building this roster so far.

    He was just speculating that maybe he could unseat Paul at guard. It's all speculation. Keim made the point that if you are a backup center, you need to play guard, too. In college he played right guard one season, then left guard the next season, then center last season. As for what they...

    He won't just play the slot. But considering that's his niche these days and Quinn saying like 4 times or so in a press conference that Diggs will play slot, i am thinking that's where he's primarily playing.

    I’ve heard Antonio has had a good camp, but not a great one. But expecting a guy who was arguably Clemson’s third-best WR to come here and immediately be a legit #2 was always asking a lot.

    2026 Commanders Training Camp

    I watched a YouTube video about Diggs' offseason, and it got me even more fired up about the signing. A. He seemed genuinely bothered by the off-the-field issues and talked about having to refocus and work through those distractions. I also watched a separate video where Mike Florio—who's a...

    Could be. What I found interesting is that two of the people pushing back on my Peters/WR takes also had much lower expectations for the team. When I pressed them on their projections, they were perfectly content with a mediocre season. One of them also wasn't nearly as high on Jayden as I am...

    Yeah I am elated. Anyone who recalls my posting history at ES, I am much closer to being a homer than a hater -- aside from what I felt about Bruce-Dan. But generally, I am much more likely to drink the Kool Aide than not. I think them signing Diggs is a game changer. That was such a big...

    Absolutely. And as for why just 1 year deals of late. his age. You typically don't get long deals late 20s and 30s. Even Terry basically got a defacto 1 year extension. And while he's been according to most who covered him, a good locker room guy -- he's had his share of off field issues...

    For me I am optimistic about the season. to me Diggs was the missing ingredient aside from adding a veteran center. The only overhang for me about the season. A. While i don't mind ignoring the national media in all its forms they've been right more than wrong about this team over the years...

    Yeah, Ertz gets crapped on some from this fan base but he clearly was a target that Jayden really liked -- as Logan has said even at this advanced age Ertz was an elite route runner. Remember the playoff game against Philly -- the WRs were blanketed, it was a one more show, Ertz. Adding...

    Bullock One of the first things that stood out to me when watching Diggs film from last year wasn’t the route running or the catching ability. I’ll certainly get to those things in this post, but the thing that jumped out to me most was his ability to make himself available. Diggs consistently...

    Don't know if Newton is struggiling but just noticed upon my listening and I listen to just about everyone, Newton has had no mentions. As to Peters first draft, purely judging by camp buzz, Luke might break out. That trade down with the Eagles is looking epic bad so far.

    Agree with Ben and ditto Finlay making a similar point. I don't love the work Peters has done, don't hate it either. But hated the approach of putting the team on Jayden's back -- its not the way to develop a young QB. A year ago, the Commanders’ limitations at receiver were shockingly...

    Yeah I definitely can see Diggs getting the most targets. Hyperbole from Lynell but i like the enthusiasm because he’s been somewhat negative. But he likes what hes seen in camp and digs the Diggs sigining.

    Interesting to listen to Logan on this who of course has been watching camp. He seems to think based on the style of offense Blough is running Diggs might get the most targets-catches as the possession guy which opens things up for Terry as more of the big play guy.

    The room as it was before was potentially fine, I don't disagree. But heck why is fine the standard? I don't expect Peters to trash any of his units, he's going to sell them all including the CB room which he has done. But based on his actions, i doubt he was privately cool with the WR room...

    I got grief for making this point about the Chig signing. i like Standig, he was on Sheehan recently and was asked do you think Diggs signs here or not -- his answer was no. Keim has been pounding the table that this signing is likely.

    Yeah I defended the move at the time because I got the impression they'd sign a decent Fa or draft someone highish for that spot. Neither thing happened. If I had to pick themes why I am not as sold on Peters as some here. A. He's just as bad so far as Bruce and Ron as to missing on great...

    I don't think that was a hard one. And if I recall it wasn't just me. They needed a corner. He played for Daronte. He was available. But I get how it feels out of the blue -- he's a not a dude who gets discussed much as to the NFL, he's become a below the radar guy.

    Agree. I get the sense that Croskey-Meritt isn't the best with the mental side of the game -- whereas Rachaad White is. And it might be a reason why White wins the job or its almost an even split. White isn't an explosive runner. But he can run routes and he is a good pass protector.

    According to Keim the issue with Croskey and the passing game isn't his hands, but knowing how to run routes.
