Kicker duel. Both tried five field goals with each one progressively further back until from the 55.
Nobody missed.

From Inside Training Camp Live: #Commanders coach Dan Quinn joined @MikeGarafolo and me to discuss why he loved today 1-on-1s, the new vibes in the building and Jayden Daniels exceeding expectations. pic.twitter.com/m6ET4U6fKY

This Washington Commanders defensive line up front is DEEP and talented.
Depth = Fresh
Daron Payne told me, “as a D-lineman when you’re playing a lot of snaps in a row, it takes a toll on you…now we can play fresh and that will help us at the end of games.” pic.twitter.com/wwtCpMisV2

Daron Payne lights up when I say the name “Bobby Wagner”
It’s not every day you can have a future HOF in the huddle.
Daron told me, “he’s a pro. You know a pro when you see one…I just know when I come in the morning he’s going to be in the weight room training hard.” pic.twitter.com/mJjqHB8jdU

Watch out for Quan Martin this season with the Commanders.
I know the coaching staff really likes him.
Quan told me that he is, “building off what I did last year, just know what I’m capable of.” pic.twitter.com/cPAQYigmmE

I caught up with Washington @Commanders rookie offensive lineman Brandon Coleman after today’s practice. The former TCU standout is having an impressive camp and has a legit chance to become the opening-day starter at left tackle.#NFL #nflinsider #raisehail pic.twitter.com/AlMLmiZz33

Every camp, Commanders defenders say they’ll communicate better and then don’t.
But today, CB Benjamin St-Juste made the case for why this year will actually be different.https://t.co/i3mwv9S8fi pic.twitter.com/9zvTTUBjx7

One takeaway from today, I was surprised with how much time Dan Quinn spent with the OL.
He spent a significant portion watching pass rush drills and protection. Including the second OL unit. pic.twitter.com/tmGCKFh1Y3

I asked Emmanuel Forbes today about what he wanted to do differently than last year. One of the things he said?
“Creating a closer bond with my coaches.”
Seems telling. He really likes the coaching he gets right now and says he is leaving the past in the past.
