Sam Howell on what this opportunity means to him

#Commanders QB Sam Howell in the first half vs. Baltimore:

– 19/25 passing
– 188 passing yards
– 2 passing TDs
– 0 INTs
– 123.4 QB rating

Very impressive play, and it’s easy to see why Ron Rivera made him QB1. pic.twitter.com/dYkyZeHr9V

Here’s what I took away from Howell tonight.

1. He’s accurate. Even incompletions were right there except for one.
2. Poise
3. Movement in the pocket
4. Deep ball.
5. Two weeks in a row though where he’s taken bad sacks. No bueno.

— Disco (@discoque5) August 22, 2023

My biggest concern with Howell right now is timing in pocket. Held the ball waaaay too long looking for something to break before sack…

… Then he rips a great throw to Cole Turner for a 1st. Bounces back.

Sam Howell goes through his progressions on 3rd and 15.

This was excellent from Howell. Trusted his RB in protection knowing a blitzer was coming, read to his left while that was happening. Then great job scrambling once protection eventually broke down https://t.co/xSVkZqd1ST

Commanders entire starting defensive line and secondary are out vs Ravens.

The full list:

LT Charles Leno Jr.
TE Logan Thomas
DE Montez Sweat
DT Daron Payne
DT Jonathan Allen
DE Chase Young
CB Kendall Fuller
CB Benjamin St-Juste
S Kam Curl
S Darrick Forrest
DT Phidarian Mathis…

Asked about playing time for Monday Night Football for some of his banged up players, Ron Rivera said, “we’re just trying to be careful. Again, the key to it more so than anything else is getting to Week 1.” I read that as no Logan Thomas, no Chase Young, maybe no Jon Allen…

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) August 21, 2023

Another impressive outing for Howell. Think its time to sit the starters the rest of preseason. Howell has shown he has a good grasp of the offense in all aspects from protection to pre-snap reads to route progression post-snap. Process is consistently good, promising.

Sam Howell through 2 Preseason Games..

28-37 pass attempts
265 pass yds

Whatever snapping technique change that Cheeseman has been working on in camp isn’t working…

I’m gonna go ahead and predict we’ve got some long-snappers in camp this week. Wednesday at the latest. #httc #comeOnCheese…

Another sponsorship deal for the Commanders: They announced a partnership with 50 Cent’s “Sire Spirits.” The company’s Branson Cognac will be the official cognac and its Le Chemin Du Roi the official champagne of the Commanders.
