2026 Commanders Training Camp

[vallin21]

I wouldn’t call the season over. We could sign Decker, or move Coleman to LT. It’s 10th day of training camp, and while injuries suck, it’s football. Let’s have some optimism.

It's a crushing blow. Everything was going too well wasn't it

San Fran had injuries left and right last year but overcame and made playoffs and won a playoff game.

If our coaches are worth a damn, they’ll find a way around this. Minimum expectation is still at least a 9-8 record. DQ can’t do that, what’s the point of him. Playoffs might be out the window now but at least a winning season.6

The situation sucks, but at least we have time to respond.

I thought that this is why we keep drafting tackles that we try to turn into guards, anyway … ?

Sign Decker and have Coleman available too.

Fuck no we don't trade any more picks.

Yeah im not interested in doing so, but it is an option and a better one than not protecting 5 I think. I hate that we are even having this conversation.

This. Decker asked for a release after Detroit asked him to take a paycut. Just sign him to bolster the tackle position. Former 1st rounder and pro bowler. 32 years old. Cannot leave this position to chance.

Brandon Coleman was our starting LT when we went to the championship game two years ago, maybe the sky isn’t falling.

It would be awesome if he could lock it down. LT is such a vital position, and Tunsil is one of the best. Hoping there is some type of solution and the oline holds up. Would love to see Coleman make it work.

There's no question that we will see a drop off in quality of LT with Coleman or anyone else - there is a reason why Tunsil is paid as one of top LTs in NFL. But there's also no question that we are still a playoff contender team.

[GridIron26]

Mostly meaningless but still interesting to see the unofficial depth chart as it uncovers two nuggets: (1) Amos is listed as starter over Douglas, so this means they expect Amos to be ready for the season. (2) Reaves is listed as a starter for FS instead of Martin..

Looks like we are rolling with Coleman.

When he was a starting LT (albeit as a rookie), Coleman was solid (0 sacks, 1 QB pressure across his starts, but overall 64 PFF -- 51/89 Ts -- https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/brandon-coleman/123068) but not in Tunsil's league, for sure. The problem is that our division boasts some elite rushers (and we're playing the Rams -- I can only imagine what the combo of Donald and Garrett is going to do to teams this year).

I hope Coleman has improved (and I've always liked him as a player) because if we're trotting him out at LT, his pass blocking is going to need to improve a lot since his rookie season. Not saying it won't or can't, but if it hasn't, I wonder whether they're considering moving him to RT and sliding Conley over to the left (as word is that he's really taken a step forward this year, under Tunsil's wing). I know that's not a simple fix, but it is still a month away from week 1.

Signed Taylor Decker apparently. He was about 10 spots (PFF) ahead of Coleman at OT. But I suspect he's insurance and that they'll roll with Coleman.
