AMAZING catch here by Dotson who goes in for the TD!!!!! pic.twitter.com/veGahYzGa5

The best part about Jahan Dotson’s TD wasn’t the catch. It was the route. The TV copy didn’t show the full thing, but it was FILTHY.

Just for the record, this is a joke with an NBA reference; I post it because I think it’s funny.
The warning is for people who wouldn’t have realized it’s a joke. https://t.co/yNhTQtiFTx

As Howell gets more comfortable, he’ll be able to relieve pressure thru quicker decision making (like he admitted he needed to do on the sack). Like how they moved the pocket a little with him as well. Some PA; sprint rollouts.. etc. He has mobility so will incorporate it

Rate Sam Howell’s performance ⬇️ #HTTC pic.twitter.com/9HcvZv0T17
— DC Sports Experience (@DCsportsXP) August 12, 2023
Sam Howell made good decisions, was accurate and showed off his mobility. Great play by Jahan Dotson on the touchdown reception. Liked the play-calling from Eric Bieniemy. The offensive line absolutely is a concern, but Sam further cemented himself as the #Commanders‘ QB1.

Howell on the broadcast: “I thought I was solid. Obviously got off to a slow start with the first two drives but I thought the third drive was really good. I was proud of our guys with how we battled back after a rough two drives and we gave up a safety. Think our ability to…

Considering the obvious relative strengths/weaknesses of this roster, Quan Martin is gonna have to play a lot and be damn good as a rookie to justify not drafting a starting OL in the 2nd round.

Chase Young played four snaps in Washington’s preseason opener. He came off the field after this play, and Ron Rivera said afterward that Young suffered “a little bit of a stinger.” pic.twitter.com/m83cadddYk

So not that we need more alarm bells for the offensive line but I don’t believe Myles Garrett was even on the field for the safety pic.twitter.com/dWXrPbl6wo

Random guys who I thought played really well in Cleveland:
– CB Christian Holmes (tackles on tackles)
– DE Andre Jones Jr. (This dude is so fast)
– LB Milo Eifler
– WR Mitchell Tinsley (has had a nice camp, too)— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 12, 2023
Commanders 17, Browns 15.
Game balls: Cole Turner, Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy Reaves, Sam Howell, Jacoby Brissett, Christian Holmes.
Gassers: Andrew Wyllie will have an easy time improving on tonight. John Bates & Curtis Hodges (plays they want back on their only target).

Josh Harris on the Commanders: “It’s not my team, it’s the city’s team. Being out here and being part of the team that I cheer for and that I grew up with is incredible. At the same time I can feel the pressure, it’s the beginning of a long season and we have to get it done”

Josh Harris told @JPFinlayNBCS on TV that Ron Rivera gave him the game ball. Smart move.
