Random Commanders Thoughts

[Kel Varnsen]

I think something to keep in mind is that being a coach is more than just on field instruction. It’s game planning, reviewing film, making substitutions, and managing a group of guys among other things. The on field coaching and technique, I’m glad these guys are out there teaching. But there is a whole different side of coaching that takes a huge commitment. I know Kerrigan is looking into it. Not sure about Sapp, but I’m guessing he’s probably there just for the on field instruction part.

Saadhiq Charles is hurt...

I have zero faith he's going to ever be anything for us.

Certainly hasn't been a factor so far, has he?

Are you saying he's got a new injury? I haven't heard anything but I have not been as tuned in as usual lately...

I was reading it last night on someone's page, but for the life of me I can't find that article now. He's been on the sidelines again

5 things to know about Jeff Zgonina, the Commanders' new defensive line coach

The Commanders have a new defensive line coach in Jeff Zgonina. Here are five things to know about him.

Played at Purdue. Not gonna lie, that bodes well for Ryan to at least learn under him no matter how long he is here.

Nephew plays in the NFL. He has vested interest in the league.

Pretty good article.

REALLY cool article from the eyes of the University of Miami's former strength coach. I'll share the part on here about Sean Taylor (and a hell of a little tidbit), but it's got a lot of other cool stories.

Miami Hurricanes’ all-time Freaks List: Allen Bailey, Sean Taylor, Willis McGahee and …

Andreu Swasey, the strength and conditioning coach who helped 100 Canes become NFL Draft-ready from 1998 to 2016, names some of his phenoms.

theathletic.com

we had a lot of other guys at their position — (running back) Willis McGahee, (linebacker) DJ Williams, (safety) Sean T. — who were freaks in the room.”

It’s been nearly 15 years since Sean Taylor – a 2004 first-round pick of the Washington Redskins – was shot and killed by intruders in his home. Taylor was only 24. He made two Pro Bowls in four seasons before his death and remains a fixture in Hurricanes lore.

What kind of athletic freak was he?

“T ran a 4.38 and had 40½ inch vertical,” Swasey said. “He always used to try to disguise his weight. That’s the catch nobody really knew. He weighed about 236. Everybody thought he was 220. He always used to beg me, please don’t put me on the scale. Because he thought we were going to move him to linebacker. I told him, ‘You’re too athletic to be moved.’ Just freakish athleticism at that size.”

Del Rio talked to the media today for the first time since the ‘dust up’ boondoggle In June.

First question (from Keim) is…you guessed it.

 

[Boone]

And there were several others… luckily Del Rio has figured out these guys don’t want (and the public can’t handle) real answers and he refused to bite on any of them. Kind of disappointing even guys like Keim are trying to go there again.

I was VERY surprised that Keim led the band.

I’m sure JDR’s wife and accountant approve.

A couple strange coincidences in the Browns' QB carousel of Mayfield and Watson :

Watson's first game, after he's back from the 11 game suspension - against his old team.
Mayfield's first game this season - against his old team.

And yet another coincidence, which then makes this news related to our team :
Wentz' first game as a WC, is against his old coach, his first NFL coach.

I BELIEVE this was the guy that ran on the field to celebrate, also resulting in a penalty on the field.... so i can't really be upset about it, gotta be better.

 

[Primus Porcus]

Looks like Bradley-King was hit too

[Boone]

That’s great news

More good news ... the team is retiring Sonny Jurgensen's number nine this year.
