:saywhat:

I tend to agree with you though.[/QUOTE]


Like they are so knowledgeable about the position that they can impose their linebacker wisdom into anyone they field at the position and turn them into solid backers? Hell it is as good a theory as I’ve heard actually Chief. Do I think it is a good plan …hell no. Is it a plan none the less? Hell yes.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

LBs in general are being devalued across the league since so many teams are playing in DB heavy schemes.

More along the lines of what MTK said, but like they played the position, so they have more institutional knowledge as to what caliber of player(s) they need to run the defensive scheme they plan to run.

Can't say the plan (whatever it is) is a good one though as it hasn't worked so far.

I'm just waiting for T Lawrence and Evan Engram to carve them up week 1. I can't help but believe that the 3rd down issues are directly tied to the weak LB corps.

We have no db’s either though. Lol. A couple sort of promising corners i guess. Fuller is solid. Not sure the group is enough to cover the deficiencies of our LB’s.

Devaluing is one thing. Completely ignoring is quite another.

9 DBs aren't enough eh

Pretty sure some moves will be coming in the next few days

Commanders claim 2 DBs off waivers - Tariq Fields-Castro from 49ers and Rachad Wildgoose from the Jets

Wildgoose? I hope be sticks!

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

Tariq (6R pick this year) spurned the Terps for Penn State but I thought looked pretty good in college.

Wildgoose (6R 2021 by Bills) released by Bills at end of 2021 TC, signed w Jets and played a few snaps, not sure if on D or ST.

------------

Either way ... both are big question marks w zero NFL starting experience.

We'll see .. I wanted someone w more a bit experience like Gardner-johnson or Mullens.

On the "49ers Talk" podcast in late June, former Washington GM Scot McCloughan said of Castro-Fields: “I think their best bang for the buck was getting Castro-Fields. ... I think he’s going to play, and he’s going to play well.”

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

None of our guys got claimed, back end depth still lacking

Dane had a 4th round grade. TCF went 6th to the 49ers.

He ran a 4.38 40 at the Combine. Hair over 6-foot.

Apke is back

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

How can Apke and Hudson be eligible for PS? I might be wrong but it feels like both have been activated on the roster for more than 2 years ever since we drafted them.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

Glad we got some back.. not a shock a lot cleared waivers I guess.. speak to talent scouting more than anything no?

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

D Mayo and D Harris were released. So there's three LBs on the current 53 man roster.

I think that's a big misconception - that since most of the players released weren't picked up by other teams, it's an indictment on our scouting department.

Fact is, most teams' practice squads are made up mostly of the players they just released to get down to the required 53. There are only a handful of players league wide who don't clear waivers (like CB Steven Parker), and it makes the most sense to try bring back players who have been with the team all off season.

Mayo? Wasnt he second in line to be mic'd up if Holcomb goes down?

Health of Holcomb may be the biggest question to whether we suck and not if Wentz can be decent.

Welp ... all we can do is tune in on Sunday and vent on Monday.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

Well it's not the end of the world...

Washington now has only three linebackers, but Ron Rivera said, "as of this moment." He then winked when @Matthew_Paras jokingly asked if that meant Jon Bostic returning. Well...

:doh:

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

Keim just said that they're bringing back Jon Bostic. Not kidding.

Ron the GM is letting down Ron the coach.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

They say that the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, Ron must be certifiable. After an entire offseason with at least a dozen better options available he presents us with Jon Bostic. I swear he is reading this board and doing it deliberately just to wind us up

Just threw up in my coffee. Might drink it again. Still won't be as bad as watching our LB squad play.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

This shit is a practical joke. Rivera and Del Rio ride the clown car together to the linebacker room.

Can't wait for another year of never getting of the field on 3rd down. Rivera is going to get fired after this season.

That is a fucking joke.

I had a bad feeling about the direction this team is headed already. Bringing Bostic back is the turd nugget on top.

Year 3. Easy ass schedule. Ron wins 6-7 games again and its shit canning time.
