Talked to Ron Rivera about trading William Jackson III: “He really is a man corner…Our evaluation was wrong.” Full intvw coming up on @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/ilcCrDb0N3

The full trade: Washington is sending CB William Jackson III and a 2025 conditional 7th-round pick to Pittsburgh in exchange for a 2025 conditional 6th-round pick, per sources.

These are the TruMedia numbers I referenced about WJ3’s usage. WSH plays plenty of man.
They’d probably argue they play “match zone” — match, carry and pass off as opposed to locking on/ chasing. So it’s not true man? My point is that few teams play a ton of true man anymore. https://t.co/km3wJCFec8

The William Jackson signing was a massive botch. He is the largest financial commitment this regime has made while running the #Commanders. Ended up benched for waiver-claimed CBs and now traded.
Trading him instead cutting him is a win. But man was that a big swing and miss.

#Commanders wound up paying over $24M for Jackson for what amounted to 16 total games. Thats pretty rough
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) November 1, 2022
Look up what we paid per game for Fitzpatrick and Alex Smith. This is chump change.

Oh, and add Carson Wentz to this list.

An underrated pickup this season: DT John Ridgeway. Stout dude. Made plays the other day vs. Ryan Kelly. Still working on the techniques here, but has helped and will help more in the future.

.@Commanders now have won 3W and credit the defense with playing great ball on all levels but it always starts up front. The front 4 is playing as well as they ever have in last 5 years #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/QC0ij9Crxl

Notable PFF grades and where that ranks among their position for the Commanders in the NFL as we reach the halfway point:
– Montez Sweat: 88.6 overall, 6th highest
– Jonathan Allen: 77.0, 9th
– Kamren Curl: 84.5, 1st
– Darrick Forrest: 82.1, 4th— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) November 1, 2022
Would you rather the Commanders stand pat and keep players like Daron Payne with expiring contracts or send them to better teams for draft picks?

.@Commanders #Heinicke took command in the final 2 drives; 21 plays 190 yards for 10 points and the game winner. He is a good fit for this team which is steadily improving. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/EkLg15CFXR

I wonder if this is what Rivera means when he talks about guys freelancing.
3rd & 4. Man-Single High. Looks like Jamin is spying the QB.

Wildgoose and St. Juste both carry their man out of the bunch set. McCain starts to carry his man running a crossing route but he reads Ehlingers eyes and sits on the slant which is St. Juste’s man.
McCain leaves Pittman wide open for Ehlinger to find for an easy conversion.

Big fan of some of the run concepts Scott Turner draws up.
Here they motion Samuel into the backfield and run a trap concept. The goal is for Norwell to leave the frontside 3-tech unblocked and Turner to pull and block him. Leno seals off the backside LB, solid gain on 1st down. pic.twitter.com/ehuAWGtG1t
— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) November 1, 2022
Another fun one. This time it’s an unbalanced line with Lucas at TE on the left and Bates at RT. Then you run a triple option to the boundary with Curtis Samuel.

Thought this was a nice run from Brian Robinson. Power scheme with TE kicking out DE and LG pulling to right side to wrap. Robinson looks to follow his blocks initially but spots a lane to cut back and picks up a nice gain pic.twitter.com/av1RItV2ag
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 1, 2022
This run has a chance if Norwell and Bates can hold their second-level blocks.#HTTC pic.twitter.com/28C0iVwZ1r

A likely major loss: Sources say #Bengals CB Chidobe Awuzie is feared to have suffered a season-ending knee injury in last night’s game and he’ll have an MRI today to confirm. The belief going in is a torn ACL.

This morning we relieved Marcus Brady of his duties as Offensive Coordinator. I wish this good man all the best.
