I haven't either. I went to the KC game and personally didn't see a lot. Huge throwing lanes for Chiefs' qbs to throw into. My bigger concern is I think we will be improved, but there are so many really good teams in the league. A lot of games do come down to coaching, special teams, and luck. Wentz will have to totally ball out for this team do really do something this year.

Good luck to him in his future non-football career.

As for the Commanders, it's not a loss because he never had a strong enough base to play NFL football in the first place. I got tired of seeing him get trucked in pass pro when he played. I realize that I'm acting like a shit right now but, to me, cutting Ismael is yet another example of this organization letting an under-achieving player stick around for several years when they should have known much sooner that he didn't have what it takes to fill a role on the team. I bet you could name some other players of that ilk who are still in the organization.

The coaching staff and the front office need to drop their player development hubris and sign veterans who can do now what they need done now. Time is up! I'm tired of losing.

Thanks for that breath of fresh air. I hope they read this.

They probably couldn't have made a better choice.

I like this for two reasons. He is a Leader and is a sponge on how the game is played. He will relate to players VERY quickly and should adapt to game plans as well. Some players, though not getting it done faster than others at the top, can relay to players who can and the results can be as good as Charley Taylor with the Fun Bunch/Smurfs. Or Richie Pettibone and that Washington D that kept evolving to changes.

Very good to see. Kerrigan is still fairly young and could have a bright future in coaching. He was a stud and hard working his whole career. I knew when he was at Purdue, he was going to be great. Hope he makes a positive impact on the dline and team.
