Pads on, intensity up. First play of goal-line walk thru, Eric Bieniemy called the first-team offense back to the huddle. Did it again a few plays later. He’s on one today.

Watching 1 on 1 line drills.
UDFA guard Mason Brooks beat Phidarian Mathis with such aplomb that Juan Castillo started jumping for joy.
The other players immediately called for a rematch.
Brooks put Mathis on the ground.

Marcus Kemp (6’4 185) against Emmanuel Forbes (6’0 181).
The big question for Forbes is will his small frame hurt him when he goes up against bigger receivers? #HTTC pic.twitter.com/7ubDBrsRBT

I spoke with Commanders WR @CurtisSamuel4__ about Sam Howell.
Samuel – “The best thing is that we trust him.”
Me – How did he gain your trust?
Samuel – “Each and every day, he puts in the work”
