Commanders TEs had a very solid debut and they’re hoping to be joined by this guy in Detroit. Cole Turner missed the opener but Ron is optimistic he can suit up in Week 2 pic.twitter.com/PvU9o6dpM9

Cole Turner was a full participant @ practice today — he and Logan Thomas in 12 is extremely intriguing. Two big, athletic bodies to flex out.
Whole new dynamic for Wentz with those two healthy.

Top 5 fantasy QBs through Week 1 (ESPN):
1. Patrick Mahomes
2. Josh Allen
3. Carson Wentz
4. Jalen Hurts (RB)
5. Justin Herbert— COMMANDERS FOOTBALL (@HogsHaven) September 14, 2022
I love the way Ron Rivera is building Carson Wentz back up. https://t.co/wHE0FwH38w

Carson Wentz had 2 of the 5 most improbable TD passes of the week (3. 49 yards, Terry McLaurin; 5. 24 yards, Jahan Dotson). per @NextGenStats

In recent years there have been two guys to come to Washington that everyone told me were bad guys and when they got here it couldn’t be further from the truth
One is Deangelo Hall and the other is Desean Jackson. I am getting close to adding Wentz to that lost

Don’t see this too often. Del Rio calls a CB blitz off both sides with Tampa-2 behind it. Both DTs sink drop back into coverage to replace the CBs. Very risky, definitely opportunities for the Jags, but pressure from Jackson off the edge did enough to make it work. pic.twitter.com/1z1Ccz4mKI
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) September 14, 2022
Just to show people want to push their narrative and don’t actually pay attention I have had several people tell me the 3-12 the Jags had on 3rd downs was due to drops.
There wasn’t one drop on 3rd down. Not one. The closest was a pass off of Jones fingertips on 3rd and goal
— Mark Phillips (@GoingCommander) September 14, 2022
After watching the Lions’ opener, I feel comfortable saying two things.
Washington better…
1) Be on-point with tackling. Swift, Hockenson, St. Brown and Williams are all combinations of powerful and shifty
2) Be in sync on the O-line. Detroit brought crazy heat on Jalen Hurts— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) September 15, 2022
Aidan Hutchinson only had one tackle in his rookie debut but the Lions sure tried some funky things with him. Look at how close he and Charles Harris are on the left side of the D-line here. Overall, Jalen Hurts was able to run away from pressure, something that Wentz can’t do pic.twitter.com/7SwMARnqYI

One more note on the game-winner from Sunday: Nice blitz pickup from RB JD McKissic. He’s come a long way since he was a college WR. pic.twitter.com/jnUuM8Dk6T

One game down for Logan Thomas.
He will continue to get better with every game.

Scott Turner only had 4 games of play calling experience when he arrived in Washington. Will Grier and Kyle Allen. Since then he shuffled through; Allen, Smith, Haskins, Heinicke and some guy named Garrett Gilbert.
He’s only 40. Buckle up. Might have his guy.

Mike McCarthy doesn’t want to put a timetable on Dak Prescott’s return: “Everyone feels good about the surgery that Dak went through from the medical perspective. From my perspective, he had surgery. These next 7-10 days he’s in a healing stage. Let’s get over that hurdle first.”
