Notable for Sunday:
*Terry McLaurin needs 55 rec. yards to reach 1,000. He’d be the first WAS WR since Henry Ellard (’94-96) to have 3 straight 1,000-yd seasons.
*Tress Way needs 108 punt yards to hit 30,000 in his career. He’d be the 6th active punter in the 30K club.

Additionally
* 5 receptions gives Curtis Samuel 250 for his career
* 1 reception gives Logan Thomas 150 for his career
*1 rushing TD puts Antonio Gibson in the top 10 in franchise history
*1 sack moves Jon Allen past Andre Carter for 8th all time in franchises history

Ron Rivera said with Chase Young, he’s had a “good couple of days” but we’re really at the same point as before: see how he feels tomorrow and Sunday.

Ron Rivera said rookie OL Chris Paul is “someone who is going to make a mark. I say that because when you talk to some veteran defensive linemen, they talk about him being a guy that can lock you up. They told me unsolicited, ‘Wow, coach, we have to keep an eye on this kid.'”

They definitely like him. Athletic; locks onto guys. Good camp. But was raw. Curious to see how he fares next summer.

The Washington Commanders have everything in front of them. They don’t need “help”. They’re not “In the Hunt”. This is it. This is the time.

Since we discussed on the pod, today I asked Ron Rivera if they’ve thought about using Taylor Heinicke AND Carson Wentz in the same game. After he gives me a playful stare…

So what happens to all the fans that bought $100s even $1000s dollars of gear? Is the new owner going to reimburse? You can’t change the name AGAIN (after one damn year) There is no way….I (for the most part) have gotten used to it & I love the gear https://t.co/NZRiw0MOx1
— Chris (@CPark_1985) December 16, 2022
The same to what happened to the people who spent a 20X’s more on Redskins gear. Just keep wearing it. My question is, if you or whoever bought Football Team gear knowing the name would change then it seems you/they are ok with buying Belters gear anyway
