i get you but honestly you need a josh allen type and that shit will set your franchise for years. i would not pass on a potential franchise QB and then build around him.

this is RR's team if it fails this year in year three i blow it up.

I really didn't think Davis played bad on Sun. They did what they should be doing and that is blitzing him a lot more.

Also you don't rip your players to the media. That to me is a BIG no no. Ron saying openly "we're running out of time" about Davis is WRONG. All Ron had to say was "Jamin is working hard, he did some good things out there and there are some things we need to clean up." You simply don't say what Ron said.

What if the players openly called you out for your stupid ass decision to go for two when there was no reason to?

I like that RR finally spoke open and honestly, I'm sick of the coach-speak.

When you do that you open yourself up and your staff to get the same treatment, as we already saw with the post on social media. Also you have devalued your own player who is a first round pick. No one wins doing that.

To me it is very simple. What can Davis do best? What can't he do? Don't ask a player to do something he can't and put him in the position to make plays.

Maybe asking him to cover people isn't his thing. That is their fault for drafting him and asking him to do it. That is poor scouting. By the looks of it he can rush pretty well so have him do that, send him on blitzes, move him around and go get the QB.

Totally agree. Tossing a player under the bus is 100% the wrong way to go. JDR is trash. I'm done with that bozo. Ron knows better too. These guys ignored the LB spot so they have nobody to blame but themselves.

[punch it in]

RR Needs to include himself in that running out of time thing. We are getting worse in year 3 not better.

[skinsfaninok]

I thought RR was a Defensive mind... Well after 3 years of shit defense he's clearly not

[BaltimoreSkins]

I didn't see the entire presser. Right now it doesn't matter if you have Fred Warner at LB if the DBs are playing the way they are.

Not a fan of Chris Russell but:
Here's the most interesting part of the #Commanders pitiful defense so far through two games...

Last year, on third-down, they were 2nd worst (31st) in #NFL at 48.47% allowed.

This year, they are tied for 5th BEST (4-13 @ Det, 3-12 vs #Jags) at 28% allowed.
@Commanders
#NFL

Well yeah when they get a first down after two plays you don't get a chance to stop them on third down.

that is actually a interesting point; is there a metric that shows if your team gets other teams to third down.

That's hilarious. We ramped it up a notch this year. Why wait all the way until 3rd down when we can collapse on 1st and 2nd down. No more procrastinating.

Jonathan Allen had a good interview w Junkies this morning.

Asked about scheme .. he sd to him it doesnt matter about scheme if the players dont execute. Its up to players to make tackles and plays.

Asked if players arent giving effort - he, like a good captain, focused on himself. Said on that 3rd and 15 where Swift caught ball fell and got back up and scored .. he stopped bc he thought someone would come and touch him down.

Asked if he was still injured - he sd he had no set backs in detroit so hes good to go

Asked about ideal snap count after playing 110 snaps in 2 weeks - he sd ideally 40 snaps a game but it depends on how individual game plays out

Asked about coaches signaling out Jamin - sd he purposefully doesnt listen to media stuff, hasnt heard anything but some players are aware

Asked about his sleeping - goes to bed btw 9-10, maybe take a melatonin night before game

Asked about Jalen - sd they need pressure up the middle. jalen gives more chances for sacks vs a Goff who gets teh ball out quick. Sd if a QB gets ball out quick .. pass rush doesnt matter.

Asked about his favorite drink - loves bourbon neat, drinks the expensive stuff

We have some really good dudes on this team. We need a new HC that can actually admit we are lacking in talent on defense, and ESPECIALLY at LBer.

I read how critical Rivera was about the players performance during the Detroit game. A good head coach does not publicly criticize or bash his players. He did the same thing in Carolina. It is a shame that he doesn't consider the failures of the coaches to be the reason for the team's failures. I sincerely hope that him and his whole staff are fired after this year. In fact, get rid of the entire staff, especially the conditioning coach. I give Rivera props for straightening out the mess that Snyder gave him, but he is not and (IMO) never will be a consistently winning coach. I have no idea or prediction who should replace him, but he needs to go. Washington will always be a more losses than wins team as long as he is here.
