It's going to be fun for me watching this team gel. Bark and the WR's should be great out of the gate. If Goedert is used correctly(not the crap from last year) we should be fine. Hopefully we can extend drives and not have the defense on the field for 45 minutes a game. People forget CJG is pretty good! And if Mitchell learns fast he could be a shut down. Still curious where they plan to fit DeJean into this defense. I believe the packers are in for a rude awakening in Brazil,but that's just me lol

The Washington Commanders are being sued by The Native American Guardians Association, which has been trying to get the Commanders to change the name back to Redskins.

The lawsuit states:

"The logo on the Redskin’s helmet is an actual person, it’s Chief White Calf. Every time they go out on that field, they were honoring Chief White Calf and they were battling on the football field with the same honor and integrity and courage. They should continue to honor that.”

Via NBC Montana.     I will call them the Wuss as usual until it's changed back because of the moronic caving/pandering BS

It seems the Eagles have been working on this.   Along with QB under center, motion, rolling left..etc.

Bunch of the short passing game

Whoa.... 6 times...that's the 1st quarter in plenty of games for Hurts. 

You stated only running three times. When even the guy you are comparing him to is running six times. Didn’t game than forty years ago. You can still be a pocket passer. But the game evolved. Elite freaks playing LB and Dline just are so much  more ….in most any way.

You are just stuck on making Hurts somebody else. Makes no sense. He is who he is …embrace it.

Caught in the moment of recency bias. Dak had a huge stat season. But I look for more than the stats. The guy has never won a playoff game. Stinks in most big games. I’d rather have a just decent player that can handle the pressure moments. Number one O last season. How did it go in the postseason? Really any postseason. A guy who’s a stud week one but can’t win a playoff game really does nothing for me.

I think our secondary is being overlooked and will surprise some

They were 31st last season…only because Washington was historically bad. But I think Fangio can really make things quite difficult for O’s to read. I expect it take time. He’s likes to roll coverages. Have two high S and much of the time show different  than the actual playcall. Disguise. But it takes time to get all these guys working this stuff out. Moving parts and guys gotta really know their job…but also the others job. That way they pass things off and can be moved to be interchangeable. That makes it very tough to read for any QB. That’s what the good D does. They trick you. They understand the rules that most O follow. So this allows them to completely be setup for it.

Sure is huge. The little guys have to run 4.4 or better to be a DB pretty much. So very few can make it through playing 20 games. Think it especially is a need when you are trying to extend a player like Slay. He needs to be able to suit up in the playoffs healthy. He looks to have a ceiling of 9 or 10 games he can suit up for at this point in his career.

I know we are transitioning this kid from WR to TE,but I would be really tempted to use him as the slot near the GL. I know he is a rook,but he has 4.6 speed(fast for a TE).

I just know about this kid. Only so many roster spots. Hard to see where he fits in.

We have depth,it's just untested. Paris has played,but the numbers aren't good,perhaps his career will be rejuvenated here, Ainias rookie-jury out although he was "my guy" in the draft. Johnny from FSU,also a rook,jury out. Covey,not really used as a receiver. Don't know much about the other roster WR camp bodies-jury out. I see nothing wrong with adding a BU outside guy like Michael Thomas. If  AJ misses time,Smith can slide into the slot(ala JJ). If Smith misses time,you'd still have AJ/Thomas out.Thomas has lost a step,but still a viable outside BU. I really don't care what the other 31 teams have or don't have. If we can add a little depth,then we should. if we're going to try another run(which I expect we will) then you are going to need outside guys down the stretch. Once again we have some untested slot guys, Ainias COULD play outside but he is untested there also. Adding a vet like Thomas or similar would make sense. We have enough loot left to do it. Let the other 31 teams do whatever they want,I don;t care what they do or don't do. Even if none miss time,there is an option to use all 3 with Smith in the slot. You'd have 3 experienced weapons that way. Rotate Paris,ainias or whomever. The more looks you give the tougher the defenses have it

I’m thinking bigger …find a trade. There will be options. Not thinking as big a move as Aiyuck…but a quality WR.

Finished 7th because the whole team collapsed. I'm glad Hurts is being more vocal now,we need him to lead now. Being "nice" and a fun guy to hang out with is great,but all have jobs to do and they need to do them for 18 games

I don’t know if I’d say they collapsed on O as much as the book was out on them….and couldn’t adapt.

I agree if you are referrring to how matchup based everything is nowadays.

You can’t force a team and business to make who you want the face of the company. You are just buying into the cheap obvious theatrics at play. This is obviously orchestrated just like how Snyder setup that huge millions dollar fund for Native American tribes to get them to side with him.

He so clearly has been leading since day one. He welcomes each player to the team…as soon as they become a member. I don’t see him needing to he too rah rah

It’s kind of smart in some ways. They need to use these streaming companies to figure out all the best ways to do it. They don’t have the expertise they do. So it basically works out to where they get free pro advice on how they need to do things. It is a much better way of going about business than paying tons to some computer geek company to try and figure it out. Which is what they’ve been doing so far.

Can I state.... you give this Washington team way too much of your time.   We are getting older now,not worth our time on this stuff.  Like worrying about the color of the napkins at a wedding...a wedding that's not even yours.   Who cares about Washington's team name?   Whatever it is , it will be below the Eagles in the standings, that's all that matters.

I'm ok if Slay doesn't play another down for the Eagles.   My focus is on the young guys. 

Denzel Mims was cut. He would be a long shot hoping we could unlock him. But he has all the physical tools.
