Just going to leave this here..

If Howell was on the cowboys the national media would be going insane over him.

He’s got a big time potential, dude looks like Russell Wilson out there!

QBs (3) Wentz, Heinike, Howell
HB (4) Gibson, Robinson, Mckissic, williams
TE (3) Thomas, bates, turner
OL (10) Leno, Cosmi, Norwell, Roullier, Schweitzer, Turner, Charles, Lucas, Paul, Ismael
WR (6) McLaurin, Samuel, Dotson, brown, Sims, Mline

26 offense

LB (4) Holcomb, Davis, Mayo, Hudson
CB (5) Wj3, Fuller, St juste, Elder, Johnson
S (6) Curl, McCain, Forrest, Butler, Reaves, Parker

24 Defense

Young and Larsen are on PUP

Robinson may have to be count against initial 53 then designated and moved to open up roster spot.

DT Bada is an international pathway player ... and doesnt count towards the 53? Can be protected stashed on PS? Not sure.

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

CB depth after our 3 starters falls off real bad. NEED A VET CORNER asap.

LB - i think we only have 2 NFL caliber players, NEED A VET LB asap.

Kicker - Slye worries me.

TE - will probably go w 4 given injuries limited participation by our top 3.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

IPP Players don't count during the offseason but would if they make the 53. As I understand it you can put a guy on NFI at anytime, not required to wait until after 53 cutdown. That tends to be the case with IR guys, unless you are shutting them down for the season

I hope so, that would make sense.

Agree about CB, LB, and TE. I'm OK with Slye.

What happened on Joey Slye’s miss? Ron is clear: He overkicked it. Believes that’s a constant with Slye; his first kick is often overkicked because he gets “so frickin excited” according to Rivera. Wants Joey to kick with more smoothness

I hope so. But Im at like a 4/10 worried. if we cant trust him on anything 50 and longer ... does RR go for it more?

idk .. im a bit worried. Miss 48 yarder, other team gets the ball in great position and we struggle to score points anyway.

The Washington Commanders have cut safety Steven Parker, per source. Signed during camp and had a chance to stick.

A candidate for us?

Joe Schobert was released by the Broncos -- had 120 tackles last year.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

I'm almost against bringing a proven vet LB now. It should've been made 6 months ago. This staff thought it was ok not to. Prove it to us now.

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. We're trying to win games here. If they improve the team, you bring them in.

For sure. But I'm not in charge, so I'll allow myself to be tongue in cheek if and when they do, cuz it should've been done earlier and even an experienced vet would have benefited from a full TC to learn the defense... Better late than never I guess.

You're preaching to the choir somewhat, judging by the messages on here I think we mostly all agree that you are absolutely right. Yes their seemingly stubborn insistence through the whole off season that they are happy with what they have is immensely frustrating for all of us (but continue to vent if you need to :))

Great fucking word man .. had to look that up.

Thanks for the updates

They have to have a corner or two they already know they are bringing in. But if its a guy who has been sitting around ... why wait? Hopefully its a trade of a late round draft pick for someone decent.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

LB Hudson and OL Wes Martin cut per Ben Standig


Hudson was a favorite that never developed…time to get that vet LB

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

Yeah I quite liked Hudson his rookie year, but he seemed to regress badly. Maybe they like Eiflers upside more

You're probably right, and after the Nate Gerry signing, I had promised to stay quiet on this LB issue for a while... but it's funny to see everyone spotting interesting FA LB prospects now, while for months I've been saying we need to freakin sign somebody right effin now, and was told "don't freak out, wait for after the draft" and then "stop freakin out, waiting works in our favor, the more we wait, the cheaper we'll be able to sign a vet LB" etc... And now everybody is freakin out... It's hard to not be in "told ya so" mode.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

With Elder and Johnson gone..they looking CB I would imagine

How many days did Wes Martin spend on our roster? That's as cold a cut I've ever seen...

Surprised to see Bradley-King go, I imagine we would try to sign him to PS?

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

[quote=GridIron26;1320536]Surprised to see Bradley-King go, I imagine we would try to sign him to PS?[/quote]

Kinda surprising indeed. Result of DE depth I guess. Young, Sweat, Smith-Williams, Tohill, Obada, Shaka Toney. That's 6 DE. We only kept 5 last year.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

[quote=Chico23231;1320483]I gotta imagine he is better than Hudson and Mayo[/quote]

idk I know nothing about him but the back of his football card isnt good.

PFF 28.6 last year w 25 tackles.

Was 2017 all rookie team ... he does play ST which is becoming a need for us

I cant see him being the kind of candidate we want. We need someone that can come in and learn quickly and potentially play a bunch of snaps.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

Our depth at CB is very bad and alarming

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

I guess our D will be all D linemen and safeties. Actually, not too surprised about Hudson, Johnson and Elder - none has been particularly impactful and the fact of their experience doesn’t really make up for that.

It’s a tough business.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

Nothing earth-shattering really. I'm good with the list.

I'm a little surprised they chose to keep 5 TEs, and released both D Johnson and C Elder. Not that either is all that good, but going with four CBs is too risky in my opinion.

I'm glad they chose Williams over Patterson.

Should see a number of these guys on the practice squad.

I will be shocked if they don't sign a CB and a LB in the next couple days.

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

Our LB corp is putrid. There is no way they compete with that group. No way. To not address it after last year is inexcusable. There is nobody out there that is going to make a difference either at this point.

What is so insane is Del Rio and RR were LB’s. How do they not understand the importance of the position?

Re: Commanders Regular Season Thread vol 1
 

Maybe they don't value the position as much as we think they should [I]because[/I] they were LBs...

:saywhat:

I tend to agree with you though.
