new number for @CurtisSamuel4__ ⚡️ pic.twitter.com/bpdMKIxWnv

— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) April 21, 2023

Final season college rushing with sacks removed:

Anthony Richardson
Attempts – 97
Yards – 713
TDs – 9

Sam Howell
Attempts – 127
Yards – 1072
TDs – 11

This isn’t a Howell>Richardson take. It’s a Howell probably has more upside than some realize take.

Wow.

Washington Commanders DE Shaka Toney has been suspended indefinitely for gambling on sports.

He won’t play a single snap this season. pic.twitter.com/wJx8BggKm5

— Scott Abraham (@Scott7news) April 21, 2023

There’s undeniable hypocrisy involved in NFL cashing in on sports betting while suspending players for betting. Undeniable. At same time though, players share in revenue the league and teams get from sportsbooks. And no league ever anywhere can allow players to bet on their games

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 21, 2023

The NFL must be extra harsh with its gambling rules to preserve the honesty of game results. It’s vital to the industry.

Try not to be shrill and arch about the suspensions.

(Logs off so everyone can be shrill and arch about the suspensions).

Finding info in the NFL Constitution and Bylaws is like shopping at a Costco in another state. Nothing is ever where you think it should be, so you will wander around looking for almond butter for an hour.

Washington’s edge rushers:

Sweat: 1 year left

Young: 1 year left (pending 5th year option)

Obada: 1 year left

Smith-Williams: 1 year left

Toohill: 1 year left

Toney: suspended indefinitely

Edge needs to be addressed in the draft badly.

For Williams that loss will be at least $382,906 in salary plus he will now have $6.877M in guaranteed salary ($5.37M for 24 and 25) vanish. #Lions

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) April 21, 2023

Episode 555 – #Commanders‘ trade down in last year’s 1st round was smart. How likely is something similar this year? I discuss that & much more from Ron Rivera’s & Martin Mayhew’s pre-Draft press conference, including the sale, Hendon Hooker & Chase Young.https://t.co/AEX6VtX4bS

— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) April 21, 2023

I’m in the camp that Rivera talking about May 2nd means they’re picking up the 5th year option on 99. Think they wanted to see how he showed up in April, etc. I just don’t see how you’d string it out only to deny and make it this huge thing.

Thank you to the @Commanders . It was truly an honor to receive this award. https://t.co/5W3eD7eZx6

With Bobby McCain gone, I’m looking for a jump from Percy Butler this season. He had some growing pains but I like his aggressiveness. https://t.co/32QaFUdiLW

Anthony Richardson is a QB prospect in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 10.00 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 1 out of 915 QB from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/EV9myLx2dp pic.twitter.com/tWPU9IVuUd

— Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) April 21, 2023

My take on the most underrated prospect at each position in the 2023 draft:

QB: Tanner McKee
RB: DeWayne McBride
WR: Tank Dell
TE: Brenton Strange
OT: Nick Saldiveri
IOL: Luke Wypler

DT: Kobie Turner
ED: Viliami Fehoko
LB: Nick Herbig
CB: Garrett Williams
S: Anthony Johnson Jr.

The Falcons have released veteran CB Casey Heyward.

— Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 21, 2023

We had one of the co-creators of the S2 on my radio show. He said if a player scores lower in one or more of the testing areas, it simply means a team might build the offense around his other strengths. Not dissimilar to how a team may not ask weak arm QB to make certain throws.

— Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) April 21, 2023

And furthermore, any psychological or cognition tests are also part of the big puzzle teams put together. Physical profile, athletic profile, leadership and character profile…. many pieces go into this for each position and not just QB. Football character is right at the top.

— Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) April 21, 2023

S2 consideration for Houston fans:

Only two teams per division can subscribe to that service. It’s a big part of how the company offers those teams an ‘advantage’. The two AFC South teams are Tennessee and Indianapolis.

Shouldn’t be surprised Nick Caserio isn’t a huge S2 user.

— John Crumpler (@JohnHCrumpler) April 17, 2023

This is also fairly new testing and technology isn’t it, Lance? I just looked the company up and not saying it’s a scam but it is definitely being given a lot more credibility on Twitter than I would imagine the NFL gives it. They use an XBOX to do the test right?

— TyGrey (@ItsTyGrey) April 21, 2023

7 years pro football. Longer in college and even longer in baseball. The tests have been around for decades. Proven testing.

— Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) April 21, 2023

There have been instances where you say yes (Burrow, mahomes and Allen) but not all great testers have been good or even average QBs. You still have to be able to play. However, it’s my understanding that no low scorers have become great QBs whether by coincidence or directly.

— Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) April 21, 2023

With a score of 18/100 that means that cannot process at an Elite level.
Hendon Hooker’s 48/100 is low but probably could be worked around.
Bryce Young’s 98/100 is why Carolina mortgaged their future to get a Franchise QB…

— CD Johnson (@CDJohnsonVP) April 21, 2023

Seeing the S2 results leak like this…you can bet agents will be reticent to let top QBs take it in the future. Feels like – just like wonderlic – it’s one of those things that can only cost you money rather than make you money.

#Colts GM Chris Ballard was asked how much lying goes on right now:

“Oh, everybody is lying. I might be the most honest one, unfortunately. But everybody is lying. Usually, I just either dance around the question or give you an answer. Today, I’m a dancer.”

He kept it real.

1. the Eagles were never 9-0

2. after 9 games, the Eagles were not leading the NFL in sacks

3. they trailed multiple other teams in sacks

4. at no point in the season did they lead the NFL by 30+ sacks or anything close to that margin

5. this presser “exchange” never happened pic.twitter.com/rFcTaB8QSt
