have selected Jayden Daniels with the 2nd overall pick. What are they getting in the LSU QB? I took a closer look:

I assume by the line “I’m not taking meds for a leg that isn’t broke”, you’re also not putting on a seatbelt in a car until you have a crash and you’re not locking the door to your house until you get burgled?

Jordan Reed has every right to be furious, clear hit to the helmet and it goes uncalled. Has to be frustrating, especially for a guy with a history of concussions.

In his presser today, Kyle Shanahan was asked if he felt defenses had figured out the zone read. His answer was fantastic

Great shot by Fox here. Keenum didn't like the look so called "kill, kill". Behind him, Adrian Peterson told him to keep the run called, so Keenum then calls "reload, reload" and Peterson gets the ball handed off

This is a terrible roughing the passer call on Chase Young. Young should have just made a proper tackle attempt, in fairness, but it was never roughing the passer

How bad do you have to be on defense to have a player catch the ball, fall to the ground, then have time to get back up and run inside untouched for a TD

Jahan Dotson is kinda insanely good already. The patience on the route to get the DB to commit outside, creating space to break inside is good. But the catch is just incredible. Check the end zone angle

This is an absolutely horrific decision to throw by Heinicke, but the ref runs into a defender and Samuel somehow manages to come away with it and roll into the end zone for a TD. Incredible

During the season, someone linked me a very clear screenshot of a Kyle Shanahan playcall sheet from when he was with the Browns. So, I decided it would be fun to go over that game and try to match up some calls to plays.

Washington been doing this a lot recently. Empty set, Dotson in weak side slot running a slot choice. This is gonna be a killer route for him going forward. Think Crowder/Reed

This was a nice highlight package by Fox. Chase Young has a sack, fumble, separate fumble recovery for a TD, all in the 1st half.

Chase Young is so good. Lines up outside the LT, watch him point to the WR split. He knows a crack block is coming and is alerting the defense to a crack toss to that side. After the snap, he swims around the crack block and occupies 2nd puller to give Bostic free run to RB

Adrian Peterson makes up for his earlier fumble, killing the game with a 64-yard TD. The sweep play has been the

best run this season. Worked again here.

Washington should probably trade McLaurin in the offseason. He’ll be 29 at the start of next season and this team is looking more and more like it needs a full rebuild. Guy deserves a chance to go contend somewhere
Terry McLaurin, when asked if he’s frustrated about getting only three targets and zero catches against Miami: “Nah, I ran a lot of cardio. It happens. It comes with it when it’s tough, but yeah, it’s frustrating.”

Sam Howell can't find an open target on 3rd and long, looks to scramble and go off script. Gets his eyes back up after rolling out and finds a target for a first down

Incredible. Bruce Allen has averaged 10 losses a year for a decade and still has a job.

Terry McLaurin is a stud. Cut up of some of his routes vs the Bears. Watch how deliberate yet smooth each step of his routes are. Angles of the routes, the particular footwork in and out of breaks. Natural at creating separation.

Can forgive the offense to an extent. Young QB in his 6th career start. Naturally going to be ups & downs. Howell showed fight
But the defense is in year 4 under Rivera/Del Rio. To give up 27 points in the first half at home, 40 overall, against an 0-4 team is disgraceful

I'm 95% sure I heard McLaurin on the broadcast after that catch shouting "don't put a safety on me"

Great job by Haskins feeling the pressure from his left while he's working the double move to his right. Spins out and rolls left, then does well to get his hips around and deliver a nice throw to Kidsy. Holding call wiped it out, still a strong rep by Haskins

This is the

"Philly" concept that they installed last year. Been a core concept for them, named it Philly after Chip Kelly ran it with the Eagles. 2nd clip is Colin Kaepernick running it in 2015, before the Skins even installed it.

No, McLaurin is getting a step regularly. Heinicke is constantly throwing high and behind him, giving Lattimore a chance to get back and break it up

Incredible play by Dwayne Haskins. Avoids multiple rushers with good movement in the pocket while keeping his eyes down the field. Finds TE Jeremy Sprinkle for what would have been a first down but Sprinkle dropped it

Chase Young’s sack - catches the LTs outside hand with his own and never lets him get it set. Prevents the LT from cutting off Young’s path to the edge. Young takes the edge and closes on the QB for the sack.

Daron Payne started off the 2nd half by creating a 3-and-out on his own. 1st down, got a sack. 2nd down, TFL, 3rd down, batted down a pass. Set the tone for the

defense in the 2nd half

Howell has something y'all. Bounced back from a 21-3 hole, just scrambled for a 1st down on 3rd&10, then throws this TD to McLaurin. Remains to be seen if Howell can make the most of his talent, but he definitely has something

Pretty damning indictment on their offseason that they’re benching one of their key free agent signings and it isn’t for their third-round pick

Nice throw by Howell here, but fantastic route by Jahan Dotson. Believe Andy Reid/Eric Bieniemy call this "Seattle". It's a sail concept but the sail route is made to look like a deep over. Dotson sells it nicely before breaking sharply back outside.

This was an excellent pick up by Sam Cosmi. DE baits Leno at LT to commit then drops into coverage. LG Charles and C Gates occupied by DTs, leaving LB free to rush inside. Fantastic awareness by Cosmi to spot it and slide across to pick it up.

They got great value in Sweat, but…
Chase Young was having a very strong season and looking like he was finally reaching his potential. At 24, Young had plenty of time to develop still. A 3rd-round comp pick is the best they could get for him?
95

If I’m the
#Commanders
, I wouldn’t be trading Chase Young. I’d be looking to extend him.
I would consider separating him and Allen. Young and Allen both best attacking freely with teammates playing off them. Sweat/Payne good reacting and playing off others. Shift could boost all

So I was sent this picture of Jay Gruden’s call sheet from the

Holcomb officially gone. Been a really solid and reliable player for Washington at the LB spot with very little help from other LBs. Held the defense together until Jamin Davis started to come on nicely this year.
The
#Steelers
agreed to terms with former
#Commanders
LB Cole Holcomb earlier this week on a three-year deal pending physical, per source.
Holcomb, 26, has started 48 games for Washington. A big addition to Pittsburgh’s defense.

Bill Callahan's philosophy that he laid out in his opening presser: "Rushing attempts and pass completion percentage matter".
#Redskins
ran 26 times for 104 yards, completed 9/12 passes at a rate of 75%. Didn't score a single point.

On the Haskins INT, Trey Quinn was at fault. Quinn sat down between the LBs, then moved again after Haskins had already released his throw.

The sooner Snyder is out of the league, the better. Deflecting and discrediting is typical Snyder tactics, but using Brian Robinson to do it is disgusting, even for him.
