So, @TheAthleticNFL will release NFL stadium guides, and the bosses would like fans to answer a few questions about the Commanders Field game-day experience…

More home fans = better vibes, and there are more reasons to attend now. Does that work?https://t.co/lfSMyjtoEt

Correction on this: Quinn misspoke and clarified that it was a meniscus injury https://t.co/cWDYd8amIL

Quinn said Johnny Newton and Coleman will get individual reps but get a better sense on his team drill work later this week. Both players are improving, Quinn said

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 19, 2024

Quinn said T Brandon Coleman (pec/shoulder) is a “little further along” than DT Johnny Newton (foot/soft-tissue injury). Expects them to do individual work early in the week. Uncertain when they’ll return to full-team drills. Quinn said he’ll have a better idea late in the week.

DQ on Commanders kicker: “The competition for us at that spot is not settled”

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) August 19, 2024

Dan Quinn basically said they’re still looking for their kicker and cut-down day will open up more options. That’s where their No. 2 spot in the claim order should help them.

Washington has signed DE Justin Hollins and released LB Bo Bauer, who injured his leg Thursday in Miami. Bauer was carted off the field.

Jayden Daniels when asked if he’s ever practiced sliding: “Nah. I haven’t.”

How is that possible? DQ and company should add that to the practice schedule this week. Somebody get Daniels and the Commanders a slip-and-slide.

yup lol

Do we like or not like this Ian?

— Josh Downs WR1 (@jekluFF) August 19, 2024

would be a lot cooler if Terry got manufactured some “easier” looks from the slot me thinks but Hopkins certainly made it work so we shall see

— Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) August 19, 2024

This is the traditional air raid philosophy when installing the base offense

Play your X and Z receivers “left and right” to maximize the reps

I.e.: the X only has to get good at looking over his right shoulder when catching the ball on slants / hitches and doesn’t have to…

I keep saying that it is likely one of the rookie QBs will be very good, one will be very bad, and the others will be kind of below-average and typical for rookies.

It sure does feel like Caleb Williams is going to be the good one and Jayden Daniels may end up as the bad one. https://t.co/2oc4pkhmPT

Sorry, let me make it clear, it feels like Jayden Daniels may end up as the bad one *not through his own fault.*

— Aaron Schatz (@ASchatzNFL) August 19, 2024

The new Commanders’ staff has been clear about their big advantage entering the season: The element of surprise.

Play-caller Kingsbury has focused on baseline aspects like playing fast, OL at point of attack and receivers winning in space. The fun plays and wrinkles are coming. https://t.co/uM0oczvJph

#Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa discusses the difference between having Brian Flores as his head coach vs. having Mike McDaniel.

This is a brutally honest answer from Tua… Positive energy and empowering someone goes a long way.
