Re: Post Draft Free agency targets
 

Ok... I have NO idea why the Miami basically gave us Ereck Flowers...
Granted it's one game, but I watched offensive snaps of last year's Rams @ Dolphins...
Flowers played really REALLY well against a very good DL.
He held his own 1 on 1 against Aaron freakin Donald. He got driven back and beaten a couple of times... but it's Donald... and he never got humiliated, not one "oh my gosh Donald is a monster, nothing you can do against him" play.

We got great value in this trade.

Some worth seeing plays:

He had a lot of these in the game in the run game, giving help to either the C or T and then looking for a second guy to block, very pro active:

Look at him maintain his block and then perfectly pick up the stunt:

Another nice job against a stunt:

1 on 1 in pass pro vs Donald, Tua doesn't step up in the pocket but Flowers did his job there, didn't he ?

Gets tackle help at the end but nice play against Donald:

Much better than watching Darnold throw Martin around like a blocking sled....

I'm just curious about Sam Darnold playing DL ;)

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets
 

Oh. I meant Aaron Donald. Damn fat fingers. 🤦*♂️

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets
 

That is kind of a significant error.

Little bit. 😂

Charles Leno wanted to be in Washington partly because of how competitive we were last year. I think the perception of this team amongst players around the league is changing, and it'll start to benefit us:

This is a big statement and evidence of the culture changing. Great to see

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets
 

Yeah it is nice, but the team was still 7-9. We were obviously extremely fortunate to play in the NFC least, and for Dak to get hurt.
Culture is great, wins are better. To have both would be awesome. We will see.

Well the difference in the team between 2019 and 2020 couldn’t be more obvious. The wins will come as we add talent.

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets
 

The team is trending in the right direction. That's all we can ask for and for it to be happening so quickly is a pretty impressive job by Ron and company.

The Cowboys were literally one onside kick from being 0-4 with Dak, so this notion that Dak is gonna come back and they immediately because a top 3 team in the conference is nonsense to me
