  1. Do the Commanders have trade bait?

    Maybe it's all of Boone's worm talk, probably it's my concern about center, but this morning's thought was do we have any backup players that another team would want? Could we trade a receiver or a linebacker for someone's backup center? Do we have an edge or a D Tackle that someone would trade...
  2. Dolphins @ Commanders 8/12 - Joint Practice

    If I wanted to watch some of the joint practice online is it possible? Anyone know where to go?
  3. What does success look like in 2026?

    I think it's time to tackle the big question. What does success look like for you in 2026? Will you measure it in wins? Will you measure it in player/coach growth? Will you measure it in health? Will you use some other criteria like accolades, ProBowl noms, ROTY, noms, etc.? For me, the...
  4. Filling every level (a roster construction thread)

    For years, perhaps decades, we've worried about talent on this team, but I think if we dig a little deeper the problem wasn't actually talent, but the distribution of talent. Jay Gruden's teams had some very good offensive playmakers, but the defense sucked. There was always a position group...
  5. Welcome to Washington Allen, Gulbin, and Kaliakmanis,

    Someone fill in the blanks for me :D Allen feels like a good short yardage, power back. Gulbin feels a good developmental center Kaliakmanis seems like a good challenger for QB3? All in all, a hail of a draft. If we believe the experts we got a ton of "steals."
  6. Welcome to Washington Joshua Josephs

    https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Joshua-Josephs-DL-Tennessee Scouting Report: Strengths That 82-inch wingspan creates problems before the snap even happens, allowing him to strike offensive tackles at range while keeping his body clean from their punch attempts. First step explosiveness is...
  7. Welcome to Washington Sonny Styles!

    https://www.nfl.com/prospects/sonny-styles/32005354-5952-6035-2123-fe49ff747b1d Overview Styles began his Ohio State career as a safety, but he settled in at linebacker in 2024. He’s improved in diagnosing play development. The former Buckeye diffuses block attempts with crisp hand strikes and...
  8. If the Commanders had the first pick in the NFL Draft they should choose...?

    Let's remove all the caveats. If the Commanders had the first pick and could take any player available in the upcoming draft who would you want for them? Who would be your best player available pick and who would be your best needs pick? Now, no cheating. You are not allowed to say you are...
  9. Upgrades, Downgrades, and work left to do

    Now, that the first wave of free agency is over let's assess where we stand. Where have we gotten better, stayed the same or declined. QB: The same. We're bringing back Mariotta, Daniels is the starter, and as far as we know Hartman is the towel boy not to be allowed on the field. RB: Worse. I...
  10. Putting round pegs in round holes

    skinsinparadise mentioned something about Lane being a screen and YAC guy in college, but not used that way here and it got me to thinking about a pet peeve. Why do teams draft or get a free agent and so often not let them do what they're best at? Why is there such a strong compulsion to...
  11. It's here! My book has made it to Barnes & Noble

    Several of you are familiar with this book's bumpy journey. The publisher ran a kickstarter in the fall that fell $200 short. Even so, they decided they believed in it enough to continue ahead. I think that was partly because the reviews were so stellar. We got raves from two multi-Hugo Award...
  12. Everything is different only the face remains the same

    This is a counter argument. The removal of Kingsbury and Whitt represent a major change in how Washington football has operated over the years. How many years did Rivera keep Scott Turner despite fans and the on field product demanding otherwise? How many years did Shanny keep Haslett? How many...
  13. Grading Mariota

    Looking back on the season that Mariota has had I have this weird vibe that he's played pretty well, but has he? I mean I guess as with all things team-related we are grading on a curve. Mariota has also been dealing with a M*A*S*H unit at wide receiver, a slowed down Ertz, and a defense that...
  14. Sophomore slump vs. Second year surge

    As we begin to think about our needs for next year, I thought it might be an interesting exercise to think about the expected slumps or jumps of our rookies. In doing so, I want to start with how are 2024 picks have done in their second year (feel free to disagree with my assessment because I'm...
  15. The lessons of 2025

    The Good: Laremy Tunsil is a franchise LT. We should extend him. The light might have turned on for Chris Paul. His guard play has been pretty solid once he got his shot to fill in for Coleman. Trey Amos is playing like a second round rookie and is probably at least a solid #2 CB. The bad...
  16. Tell the truth Tuesday

    A couple of thoughts about yesterday: The D held up for a half, but when the dam burst it wasn't a crack but a gusher. We are fundamentally lacking in the trenches. Can't pressure the QB and are becoming soft against the run not just around the edge but right up the gut where Payne and Kinlaw...
  17. Last day! Thanks for all your help and support in making this dream come true

    I've got word that the first rollout for my latest book will start in mid-August. Knowing me, I'm going to enthuse about it a bit. I may also try to recruit help in spreading the word. We're a go! Here it is. Please share and if you enjoy this kind of thing support...
  18. The All Things Terry Thread

    Whether you want to talk about Terry cloth or Terry Crews or even that McLaurin guy... this is the place for you. That's not to say we can't talk about him in training camp or free agent or transaction threads, but feel free to post your support, angst, or aggravation about Terry here. Heck...
  19. Peters and the one-year deal: A feature or a bug

    After two years it's probably safe to say that Adam Peters loves him some one-year deals. He loves them as prove it deals. He loves them as expensive one year rentals. He loves them as a way to get plug and play vets one the field who were once elite but are now probably above average. Is this...
  20. WeTransfer and AI

    Just thought I'd offer the board a head's up. Not sure how many may be impacted by this, but apparently WeTransfer has changed their policy in a way that allows them to train their AI on files being sent through their service. They also are retaining the right to profit off derivative works...
