2022 Commanders Training Camp discussion

The Jags are still unsettled at LG (although they do have a great RG) so it's not necessarily a good thing that they picked up Wes Martin. I'd love to see Martin play the way I thought he could when we drafted him.

It's hard to see Wes making the final 53. He's probably just here to get them through the preseason since he knows the system.

We dont have any studs on our O line but we got a lot of starter capable guys.

Leno - Lucas - Charles
Norwell - Schweitzer - Charles
Roullier - Larsen - Schweitzer
Turner - Schweitzer - Charles
Cosmi - Lucas - Charles

Thats 8 right there to start season, 9 once Larsen comes off PUP. Love Lucas and Schweitzers swing abilities. Such good low key signings.

To say that Charles is starter capable is a stretch. Unlike Schweitzer and Lucas he has not been available when needed so he remains unproven.

Charles is NOT a capable starter. id put him as 3rd on any depth chart. Spot duty on the inside, okay. Everyone else is capable. None are top tier or pro bowlers. Lots of capable depth.

Leno and Cosmi worry me on pass pro long developing plays though, which we should see a lot more of. Last year, easy to look good in pass pro at tackle with the ball coming out in 2 seconds.

Don't be surprised if Schweitzer starts over Turner IMO.

It is. I think Sunny put it best: no pro bowlers, solid unit, good depth

Im a big Schweitzer fan. I love versatile good under the radar guards. Randy Thomas was one of my favs.

Schweitzer gets at it and can play C in a pinch. if Roullier isnt ready or goes down mid game, I think Schweitzer goes in at C.

You need an IOL swing guy that can play like you need a swing T that can play.

Leno/Cosmi holding up on long passing plays worries me though.

I also love the spirited way that Schweitzer plays the game.

I have no concerns whatsoever about Charles Leno's pass blocking. I think he is one of the better pass blockers in the League. His PFF pass blocking grade for the 2021 season was 87.3 which is excellent.

Cosmi is clearly a better run blocker than he is a pass blocker but he is improving fast as a pass blocker. He's very young and there could be a Pro Bowl in his future. So, I'm not very worried about him either.

A PFF guy (or some stat geek) said we were bottom 10 on longer developing pass plays.

I cant find anything on the internet re OL rankings for long pass plays.

Leno worries me. Cosmi worries me. Especially if left 1 on 1 vs a speed/outside move guy, or responsible for picking up an outside rushing LB/edge.

We'll see.

RB1 typically isn’t your main kick returner.

It’s clear they are carving out a different role for him.

I wonder how he feels about it -- i.e., whether he views it as a demotion. Playing time is earned, and he has to understand that the team needs to make use of him in ways that is less likely to lead to fumbles (getting him the ball in space and away from D-linemen who are the ones forcing fumbles). I just hope he has a good attitude about all this and wants to focus on whatever he can do to help the team. Based on what I have read about him, that's what I'd expect.
