Commanders Training Camp 2024

[drumkat44]

Yes it's only training camp but it's especially hard not to drink the Koolaid this year. Just the ownership, complete new coaching staff and a roster overhaul is exciting. To be honest I wasn't a fan of the DQ hiring at first but I'm all in with what he has done so far. So much change I don't know really what to expect but I'm very optimistic! HTTR!!

I'm the same way about Quinn. I think he was the right man for the job now. But was no where near or top choice originally.

Your top choice or Adam Peters? Because he was definitely AP's top choice.

I meant not my top choice. Not sure why my brain put "or" in there originally. That was a lazily put together OP on my part. Should have read:

Gotcha.

Maybe AP knew what he was doing after all, we'll see how it plays out on the field of course.

Reality is that ALOT of these players that have signed with us is due to DQ being here…he’s WELL liked by a lot of his former players in the league…he got the Center from Dallas, he got Bobby Wagner to come here which I believe is HUGE…Fowler, and also the PULL he has with all these coveted assistant coaches up n down our coaching staff…I doubt Ben Johnson would’ve been able to have this pull, even the new coach in Seattle…ALSO, he has inside knowledge on a division rival and that should help too…DQ almost seems like the perfect hire…in Adam Peters I trust

I'm hoping Bobby Wagner is our new London Fletcher, even if only for a season. We need leaders and tone-setters to get this franchise towards leaving the (snyder) past behind. I'm excited for Ekeler in the same tone. Outside of adding a good FA offensive tackle (which is obviously not easy, if even possible), I don't think we could have had a better offseason.

Yes I agree and I LOVE our approach, see what we have in our kitchen cabinets with a new chef in town before we go spending…can Coleman turn into our booked Tackle?! Maybe…would be huge! Can Jayden Daniels quick release/mobility and new offensive system make our O line’s life easier, maybe we’ll see…we didn’t spend on a WR (resigning Samuel’s or expensive free agent), or spend big other than Luvu (I love) and the center from Dallas and Dorance Armstrong (who DQ knows very well with his time in Dallas)…so safe spending and a bunch of 1 year rentals…Wilie and Jonathan can come off the books after this year with huge cap savings…MAJOR cap room coming our way and we’ll have MUCH better clarity of what we have and what we TRULY need…I mean this is down right genius…if we DO struggle, that’s fine cus we’re rebuilding and high draft picks will only help…so WIN WIN

From this ESPN article:

3. Daniels may need some time to develop as a passer, but he is sure to make a major impact right out of the gate for two primary reasons: his elite rushing ability and new Washington playcaller Kliff Kingsbury, who operates the fastest-moving offense in the league. The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner led all FBS quarterbacks with 1,134 rushing yards.

8. Here's another high-impact move by Washington, as Dan Quinn's new-look defense will be anchored by a future Hall of Famer in Wagner. The 34-year-old hasn't lost a step, having led the NFL in tackles (183) last season. He and fellow newcomer Frankie Luvu (foreshadow alert) will combine forces to make up one the league's best off-ball-linebacker pairings.

29. Bobby Wagner might have the bigger name, but don't overlook the addition of Luvu to the linebacker room in Washington. The former Panther is one of only two players with 200-plus tackles and 12-plus sacks over the past two seasons (Demario Davis is the other).

The numbers next to each write up is the ranking out of 50
