All aTwitter: 13 August 2023 – Commanders fans post individual player evaluations following 1st preseason game

One of the most hotly contested camp battles is LG

If last night’s game is any indication the competition is OVER

Chris Paul is LG1

Here are a few clips of him in both run and pass blocking plays#HTTC pic.twitter.com/F9vhguqLPW

Only took EB a few seconds to get to Tampa Bay. Howell’s footwork here says he read M/M alignments (correct) since Tampa is the zone side, but he reads it crisply and progresses from 1-3 without sitting on or staring down targets. Looks simple, but I really like this processing https://t.co/E2wE3MW239 pic.twitter.com/kCrdlCGyKI

Nice job by Sam Cosmi at RG here on 3rd&6. DT stunts inside, Cosmi adjusts and cuts him off. DT spins back outside, Cosmi mirrors him then when DT works back inside, Cosmi finishes the block emphatically. pic.twitter.com/I78jLLh5yG

On Howell sack: Browns disguising a blitz, rushing NCB and LB off the left side, with DE dropping out on the other side. OL typically account for 4DL and 1LB. With RB releasing, Howell is responsible for the NCB. Think he sees it but thinks he can throw over it. He can’t. Had RB pic.twitter.com/kDZqoRXBTr

This was an outstanding rush by Chase Young last night. Gets a former top ten tackle off balance, throws him to the side. Has to finish but he was not doing this last year or before he got hurt in 2021. (Video via @NickiJhabvala). pic.twitter.com/6o9yNSURNP

Chris Rodriguez’s longest run came off the back of a really good combo block with Trent Scott and Nolan Laufenberg pic.twitter.com/JAi4zZnULP

Even though this was brought back for a holding call – I think we have found our return specialist in Kazmeir Allen pic.twitter.com/DCrLRH4rBn

#Commanders Risers and Fallers

Sam Howell
Cole Turner
Jahan Dotson
Christian Holmes
Efe Obada
Chris Rodriguez
Andrew Wylie
Quan Martin
Most of the O-line

Overall way more ups than downs tonight #HTTC

— Mason Kinnahan (@Mason_Kinnahan) August 12, 2023

What was troublesome about the O-line is that it didn’t seem like the Browns D-line dis any elaborate blitzes or stunts. They just got beat man on man with simple bull rushes.

Quan Martin is not forgetting #HTTC pic.twitter.com/Lqax9I9Mhe

The logic in it is, if you say I suck and all that nonsense after my first game ever. When I start hooping after that, stand on what you said. That’s all. https://t.co/mIcjH88SYy

Kind of overlooked story — the DBs have looked good in training camp and tonight. But they have new coaching.

DB Coach Chris Harris left this offseason to go to Tennessee.

He was a great coach and was vocal at practice.

Richard Rodgers and Christian Garcia are doing well.

— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) August 12, 2023

Curtis Hodges has all the tools, but he is not fighting hard enough to make it work. Baffling.

— Ken Johannesen (@BurgundyBurner) August 12, 2023

Chris Rodriguez had 5 carries tonight & that’s all he needed for real. Really impressive game, nearly 8 ypc & showed off when he saw even slight daylight. I see it with him. & when the OL could create bigger holes for him as time moves on we’ll see why he had so many yards at UK.

Oh for christ’s sake are we really about to give Rodgers credit for EVERYTHING???

It’s a 3 yard pass to the most open receiver you’ve ever seen. https://t.co/i0W4rEwwhF
