I spoke to Bobby Wagner after practice about the heat in Tampa and if it affected him at all. He said that it did. So much so that he joked with me that he might have to play some preseason games going forward to get ready. I told him that’s not happening. #NFL #RaiseHail #HOF

Many people, including my esteemed colleague, have argued that Jayden Daniels running 16 times in his NFL debut was “coaching malfeasance.”
The concerns are valid but overstated.

Let’s start here: Two rushes weren’t real. One was a kneel before half and another was a swing pass that went backward and was therefore labeled a fumbled rush.
Here are all 14 real rushes: pic.twitter.com/7UmZSlyQ8o
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) September 11, 2024
Of 14 real rushes, seven were scrambles and seven were designed.
I break them down in this story and get into what’s overblown and what’s actually concerning (the two designed inside runs). https://t.co/S1uTNKSrIw

Yes, Jayden Daniels missed some open looks, but overall, it wasn’t egregious. In fact, he’s pretty close to having some explosive plays. @MarkBullockNFL gave a masterclass film breakdown yesterday. And here is one of my favorite clips. #RaiseHail pic.twitter.com/EU1Kg1V9ed

Brandon Coleman looked great in his debut vs Tampa.
Chips down hard on Vea before blocking David at the 2nd level. Creating a Lane for Ekeler. (Vs a Top RZ defense last season) #RaiseHail pic.twitter.com/g91GzP1JFP

Brandon Coleman played two drives against the Buccaneers.
The Commanders scored a touchdown on both of them.
I reallyyyy liked what I saw from Coleman. He should definitely start this week #RaiseHail

Great job by Quan Martin to come down from the Safety position to fill the Hole and nullify the rush.
Wrap em up and wait for the boys to come help. #RaiseHail pic.twitter.com/o5YwA9XfHT

Common critique of Kingsbury. He will argue keeping the outside WRs on the same side of the field enables easier no-huddle/up-tempo to get simpler defenses
Also, outside WRs in this system flip roles from X to Z based on hashmark, so McLaurin goes from being the X to Z regularly https://t.co/GkwIQJZ3iD

Kirk Cousins is clearly NOT healthy.
The Falcons were in Pistol/Shotgun on 96% of their snaps Sunday!!
He has a NEW stance in the shotgun & it tells you everything you need to know about his health.

The problem for the #Panthers is simple and significant; Bryce Young does not look NFL ready. @miketanier doesn’t hold back.
