Jahan is gonna make the team. It’s just a question of snaps. He’s still taken most of his reps w the first team, especially when the Commanders go 3WR. https://t.co/4fTGM5cprX

.@Commanders @JayD__5 the 3 best plays in a QTR of action. He looked decisive in where he wanted to go and the offensive added some effective runs. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/tnd5a89Tm2

The ball placement and accuracy have been there since he arrived. Highlighted some of these on the podcast. Also: he lessens the issues up front by getting rid of the ball fast. Often Saturday in less than 2.0 seconds. And on the PA pass, helped to sell by Cosmi pull action. https://t.co/ADiatHS5DT

I love Terry’s catch with YAC on the next play, too. His release plan and separation at the breakpoint were great. He sold a vertical Stem on both reps, allowing him to beat the DB quickly on the hitch. Good timing and placement by Jayden helps of course. https://t.co/vDyLvckeUS pic.twitter.com/dz1xgqcVIi
