2025 Washington Commanders Camp / Preseason

JD5 has no issues fitting balls in tight windows… I trust him to continue where he left off last year.

I don't know if this is related, but I think it is. Years ago, Joe Montana threw a catch to TE Dwight Clark that became known as "The Catch." It was one of those seemingly impossible throws that somehow made its way to the receiver and resulted in a touchdown. In a subsequent interview, I have no idea when, Montana said that they had practiced that throw and catch a million times in practice so the reality was that "The Catch" was a rehearsed play.

I like the fact that Daniels is practicing the timing on these low probablility throws and repeating them enough that they become if not routine, then makeable. It's not that I think he should dazzle us every play, but when the moment comes when "The Catch" is necessary I want him and the receiver on the same page with the timing down.

First padded practice today. Interested in seeing how Bill does (for a variety of reasons).

Was able to go to Training Camp Sunday.
-JD5 looked sharp
-The Lane leaping grab in the endzone happened to be in front of where we were sitting - everyone went crazy! Fun moment.
-Kinlaw is a massive human being.
-Jason Garrett appeared - and god booed like mad. LOL. He's probably looking for a job
-Crowd was great. Everyone having a good time.
-Saw a couple of random people in Eagles and Giants gear. Never understand that, lol.
-Fred Smoot got everyone hype introducing 'Tana

Sounds like either OL is struggling at making a push or the revamped DL is actually better against the run.

Good to see Brob is already in midseason form.

We’ve already heard a ton of good things about Bill. Less so B Rob. I think Bill gets a ton of snaps this year

 

[HOF44]

I think if it’s truly open competition Bill is our main back this year.

 

[RexTomb]

Bill might be a late round sleeper in fantasy this year 👍

Maybe to end the season, but splitting the workload with BRob being the "starter" in September just makes sense.

They should be better at the run now that Dante Fowler is no longer willfully abandoning his assignments and leaving a mack-truck sized hole at the LOS.

Except Von Miller all but promised to ignore the run in his opening presser.

I don’t think that’s really fair. He said they brought him to rush the passer. That’s accurate. They are going to play him on obvious passing downs and ask him to beat the guy in front of him and get pressure.

Last year, we were awful at generating pressure with 4. We had to send a 5th. And we didn’t have a great secondary, and then you have 1 less guy to drop and it makes the problem worse.

Von is going to do exactly what brought him in to do. And our run stoppers will be asked to fill that role. Peters has been really good bringing in veterans and having them outperform expectations. That being said, I have more faith in Von as a pass rusher than in Kinlaw as a run stopper.
