Help us pick a theme for our new mascot!

Vote for one of four categories ⤵️

— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) August 13, 2022

Anybody that vote Hogs for the Commanders mascot is wild

Don’t do it lol

— ⚡️URGE (@SurgeTheShooter) August 14, 2022

Remember @Commanders fans, nobody said we can’t have more than one mascot! Let Hog represent our past, but let A (K9) Dog represent our future. @whoisjwright @Joey_Socrates pic.twitter.com/xf9FBcqH58

Me: you hear the commanders have a poll out to pick a mascot?

Wife: …do they need one?

This is the hog. I even shamelessly put it on a helmet to show it’s depth. @brydfly pic.twitter.com/PBWpG9QYOQ

Nah give us something fresh. Fans clinging onto the past are ruining the rebrand. The corny new fight song is a great example. We broke tradition with the jerseys. Do the same with everything else. The fight song should have respectfully been retired w/ the name Redskins. https://t.co/O5QO5EeKjK

What should be the new @Commanders mascot?

Hog
Dog
Historical Figure
Superhero

I asked some of the fans at today’s training camp practice.

He stole the show during the @Commanders first preseason game.

Rookie RB @BrianR_4 is confident he can be an impact player in Washington.

He also idolizes @AdrianPeterson!

Aye @whoisjwright this should be our fight song bruh. This is who we are. Stop playing and bring our music home.

Scott Turner will be calling plays from the sideline this season rather than the booth. Rivera said he likes that and can see the rhythm.

Oof….

He’s going to get his linemen flagged for holding bouncing it out like that too. https://t.co/tZi71rdLWB

— Robbie Duncan (@RobbieDuncanOL) August 15, 2022

The presence of an actual WR2 is gonna do wonders for this offense. Washington hasn’t had both a WR1 and WR2 since 2016

— Trey007 (@Tresse007) August 15, 2022

I know Dotson didn’t do a whole lot, but did see a couple routes that were excellent; he just wasn’t the primary target on the play. Was wide open to the inside on the quick third-and-5 throw to Samuel. Not saying Dotson should have gotten the ball, point is the route was nice

— John Keim (@john_keim) August 14, 2022

Jamin Davis looks more comfortable when closer to the line. Felt was used that way more Saturday. Blew up one lead block that led to a 1-yard stop (Forest/Allen)…The play was made by Davis meeting the FB 1 yard deep, moving him back and forcing an early and wider cut by the RB

— John Keim (@john_keim) August 14, 2022

Carson Wentz in the preseason opener (per TruMedia):

-46.2% of targets went to TEs
-90.5% of plays from 11 personnel
-avg. 2.38 seconds to throw (was 2.67 last season)
-76.9% comp
-15.4% pressure rate

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 14, 2022

Should be noted: There were things to like about Fitzpatrick — smart, ran a good huddle etc — but it was taking time for him to grasp this O. Was different for him.

— John Keim (@john_keim) August 14, 2022

TV Analysts really convinced themselves and the casuals that Wentz was a bottom 3 QB last year. #Commanders

— Buffalo Nickel (@OlSkoolMD) August 15, 2022

Biggest concern for me from Commanders preseason opener remains 3rd down defense. WSH finished 31st in NFL last year on 3rd down, Panthers converted 3 straight 3rd downs with Baker and 1st team offense vs WSH 1st team defense pic.twitter.com/Ir6CFdKLfy

— KB (@KBDCSports) August 14, 2022

The question isn’t whether Sam Howell is as good as Carson Wentz. It’s whether he’s good enough (or will be) that Washington can move on from Wentz after this year or the following.

$53M in cap savings over two years can go a long way. Howell will make <$2M over same period.

PFF not in love with Sam Howell’s performance https://t.co/gj5JVRDzHE

Ron Rivera said the preseason game helped coaches see little details to point out to players, like WR Dyami Brown’s rounded cut on this play.

“If he comes and cuts that off sharp … he doesn’t give that safety enough time to get there to make the play.” pic.twitter.com/4iYGf4qM49

The #Eagles are trading former 2nd-round WR J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to the #Seahawks for DB Ugo Amadi, per @TomPelissero.

Seattle had planned to release Amadi, find a trade partner instead. A fresh start for JJAW.

The #Broncos are signing veteran LB Joe Schobert, source said, some important help at a key spot. Schobert, who starred for the #Browns and most recently was with the #Steelers, recently tried out in Denver. He helps fill the void created by an injury to Jonas Griffith.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 15, 2022

An MRI confirmed #Browns C Dawson Deaton suffered a torn ACL in practice today, sources say. After Cleveland lost starter Nick Harris the other day, another player at the position goes down. Ethan Pocic and Brock Hoffman still standing, though.
