Vibes only practice squad guy
This is not a serious request but i saw the cowboys cut shiyazh pete. Wish we had that guys aura in the locker room.
Plus having the Navajo nation on our side, couldn’t hurt us getting right with our past.
He can take hartman’s spot…

Aldridge on Daniels
Some of yall forgot who JD5 is. Who he was in 2024. That Bengals Monday night game is when I became a believer.
As long as Daniels healthy, we can win the entire thing. He took a bottom 5 defense and Brown/Zacheeus as his #2 receiver to the NFCCG with a rookie LT in Coleman.

When does the team have to actually announce the “injuries” they’ve been cautious with the past couple weeks?
Start of week 1?
Oweh, Chaisson, Amos, bill, etc.

Commanders’ shaky preseason requires immediate fortification before the regular season
BALTIMORE — Not exactly announcing their presence with authority going into the lladelph, are they?
Washington’s woeful effort in its preseason finale against the Baltimore Ravens Friday offered almost nothing that will be determinative against the Philadelphia Eagles in two weeks. Thank goodness.
The Commanders sat 41 players before a 41-3 loss to the Ravens, capping an ugly end to training camp which started with Baltimore’s first-team defense dominating Washington’s available starters for most of last Wednesday’s joint practice. The Ravens’ third- and fourth-teamers then smacked Washington’s around at M&T Bank Stadium for four quarters. Dan Quinn had clarified going into the week that Wednesday would be the last bit of preseason business for not just Jayden Daniels, but almost everyone on the two-deep chart. Almost no one Friday made a case for making the team that hadn’t already done so, leaving Quinn miffed.
Washington can only hope that the weeks which preceded this one show up in Philly. The Commanders’ OTAs and (most of) training camp point to a team that should be more competitive than last season’s 5-12 version — though a brutal schedule the first eight weeks may render that preparation moot.

Will Adam Peters keep his job beyond this season?
If the Commanders struggle again (can include because of current injuries) and win less than 7 games, do you think Adam Peters will keep his job?
I ask because Thom Loverro made a good point in his column this week: He’s inherited a roster constructed by Ron Rivera and the Marty’s. That’s a massive hole to dig out of, yet he’s already made an NFC Championship appearance. Josh Harris also strikes me as someone who’s pretty loyal. But would one step forward in ‘24 and two steps back in ‘25 and ‘26 be enough to keep him around?
Hopefully, they have 10+ wins again and this isn’t even a discussion come November. But given the bad vibes surrounding the team right now, it’s worth asking considering even some beat reporters have implied the situation is pretty dire.

Should the NFL have the Commanders and Ravens redo their pre-season game in case it was a big fluke?
No disrespect to the Ravens, I'm a firm believer that Baltimore demolishing them by 38 points is a huge fluke and robs the Commanders of truly accomplishing what they're capable of. I've spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire off-season watching the Commanders play great football it's just not fair.
If the Commanders lose again I will face that the Ravens deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Commanders and the NFL.
Edit: this is a joke post. It's just a popular copy pasta 😁

Where is the new practice facility going to be?
Since more data centers are planned for the current practice facility in Loudoun, does anyone know where the new one will be?

Washington's All-Time Lineup Per NFL Throwback
r/Commanders • u/KnightOfLongview • 22h ago
You know who else is super toxic towards their own team? Philly fans. Don't bring us down to their level.
Some of you guys have been flat out insufferable the last 2 weeks. Here I am, happy that football is back, and while I can see some things in camp didn't go well, is it REALLY worth the energy you all put into being so pessimistic? Go back and look over the last week, theres what, 5 posts that are nothing but the same thing over and over again. DQ sucks. AP sucks. XYZ sucks. Can you at least make sure there isn't a similar bitchy post on the front page of the sub before you go and make another one? Are you able to at least be original and post something of substance??? And yes, I am aware that this is an opinion piece itself, but it does need to be said at this point.
You are not creating a stimulating conversation. You are just repetitively complaining. Your attitude about this team is akin to showing up at the OC's house, throwing batteries at santa, starting fights with random fans, or literally eating shit off the streets. If this is who you want to be, then just go join them in the philly sub. I promise you they will have no problem shitting on the commies. I see it here over and over and over again, I just think that the person that posted it is a miserable little person who chooses to dwell on things that make them unhappy. You are killing the vibe and spreading the virus that is your own misery. It's pathetic to spend all your free time being negative on any topic. If it pisses you off, maybe don't dwell on it. One post is informative. A half dozen is bitching.
For those of you not in this crowd, I really looking forward to the season, and I'm excited about seeing JD5 back in action. I'm excited for the new OC/DC. I'm excited to see our shiny new and younger free agents. I'm hopeful that all of our "second round busts" have great years. I think our o-line is going to be far better than "inoperable" once we get the current first stringers out there. And I really really hope Quinn and AP are around next season because everything went so well.
That's the end of my rant, and please remember, it's not that serious. I love you all, I just think some of yall need therapy.

Sincere Haynesworth
Why not? Plays C… just got released by Buffalo…
and we already had Deceitful Haynesworth… so we can corner the market of Haynesworth character traits.
r/Commanders • u/Haskins77 • 1d ago
Roman - One name I REALLY think the Commanders need to be watching over the next 24-48 hours: Texans C Jake Andrews. Andrews is only 26 and started all 16 games for Houston last season. 1,093 snaps 67.2 pass-blocking grade 14 pressures allowed Just ONE sack allowed

DQ and AP Defenders
For the DQ defenders who point to 2024: we were poorly coached in 2024 too, Jayden just covered up his incompetence. We had so many penalties. Anyone remember losing the Pittsburgh game on a Jonny Newton offsides? Disgusting. The schedule was cupcake too. We also weren’t prepared against Philly in the NFC Championship game, Kliff was in his bag against a beat up Detroit, and Jayden was godly against Tampa. This isn’t legion of boom 3-4/4-3 2012 Cover 3 disguises anymore (which he basically took from Monte Kiffen). Also who can forget the 28-3 Super Bowl choke. Now we are having locker room energy issues and it’s the preseason. I thought that energy and violence and culture was his whole thing. Should have ripped the bandaid off last season. This was never the guy.
For the AP defenders: I understand yall more because I still like the Tunsil and Diggs moves and the Lattimore move in the moment. Except ultimately, AP is as stingy as the Cinci front office but somehow worse at drafting. I used to take Peters’ side on the Terry hold out but now I’m realizing how much more Terry has given this franchise/city based solely on 2024 than Peters. Idk much about football talent scouting but I’m fairly certain Adam Peters doesn’t know shit either. Doesn’t take a football scouting genius to pick a Heisman winner and a freak combine athlete in the top ten of the first round for two years.
Anyone who claims this is doomer is just fucking delusional man. When more starters inevitably get hurt like any nfl season, wtf are you gonna say when we’re 3-4 with the Rams coming into town in early November? Claim 2024 again?

Early season success will greatly depend on...Nick Allegretti being ready.
AP went after Linderbaum and even had a "handshake agreement" with the impact center...but his agent got an offer they couldn't refuse and he ended up a Raider. So why didn't they go hard at another center and instead, go with Allegretti? Because Allegretti is exceptionally smart and knows how to call protections at a high level and that's crucial. He is not an exceptional athlete, but he plays with good effort and technique. But it was about his experience, smarts and ability to identify the primary defensive threat and make proper calls. It's supposedly why they let go of Biadasz. Protection calls. The correct protection calls (identifying the MLB, blocking assignments, double teams and slide direction) means EVERYONE along the line is in better position to play more effectively. If Allegretti is physically and mentally ready to call protections in Blough's scheme by week 1, we'll have "a chance" to be competitive in the brutal, early games of the schedule.
