Through two preseason games, the #Commanders have 8 offensive lineman with 80+ PFF pack blocking grades. pic.twitter.com/g55Aih7BNO

The pull here by Cosmi and the Cross-Buck by Turner are beautiful!

I love how Stromberg, Gore, and Laufenberg worked together vs. this A-gap pressure to keep Fromm clean. Stromberg did a great job processing the stunt, attempting to take on both the crasher & looper before getting help from his RB and RG. Washington ultimately picked up 11 yards… pic.twitter.com/QH3DodjUFw

Strong anchor here my Charles. Hand placement is great. This is how it’s taught. pic.twitter.com/EjKwnkkOeM

Eric Bieniemy on the RBs’ blocking/blitz-pickups: “I thought they put on a clinic this past weekend. … You talk about being accountable, those guys are doing everything under the sun in the pass game to make it successful for our offense where we can make the downfield throws.” pic.twitter.com/pKymmZ3jV7

I see you Cole. Great hat placement on the slice block. pic.twitter.com/JVE9qZBxcR

Kaz Allen showed good patience and toughness on his route. Closed the cushion and crossed the DBs face at the breakpoint and finished with a tough contested catch on 3rd down. I hope this pleases the “I need to see more at WR” crowd. pic.twitter.com/jzxitL5f2Y

Jake Fromm delivered some damn dimes to Tinsley on that last drive pic.twitter.com/bNInwlYs0W

I felt like this pass had definitely hit Curtis Hodges’s hands in real time, but never got the replay. I honestly don’t understand the lack of urgency/competitiveness from him. Fromm threw a catchable ball, & I don’t see a player that looked like he really wanted it. 3rd & 11. pic.twitter.com/TE1wm3Xzbs

Ron Rivera addressing the media. Confirmed McLaurin’s X-rays are negative and said the team will keep him off his feet for the next few days

Ron Rivera on status of Terry McLaurin: “For the most part Terry’s X-rays are negative and his MRI showed the same thing for the most part.” Not gonna lie “the most part” gives me a bit of pause

Terry McLaurin #HTTC
‘Sprained big toe’ = turf toe
– that’s why X-rays were negative but MRI was positive
– MRI likely shows swelling/injury to capsule of 1st MTP joint (big toe)
– these depend on grade (1,2,3)
– very mild, think JJ in 2022, minimal concerns (best case…— Jesse Morse, MD (@DrJesseMorse) August 23, 2023
As planned, Jacoby Brissett took some reps with the 1s. It’s because they want him to get reps with them and because he’ll probably play a lot Saturday. It means nothing other than that. Capiche?

Asked about the LG battle, Rivera said nice things about Charles and Paul. Then, he added the “capable” work of Ricky Stromberg.
Rivera also hinted at a possible Charles-Paul rotation in-game. They did that last season at RT with Cosmi and Lucas.

It seems like everybody is excited about this Washington Commanders defense.
How about Commanders LB Cody Barton?
He told me, “I’ve never been on a defense like this…they’re good, they’re really good. That’s all I’m going to say about it.”

From PG County to the NFL.
As a UDFA, Palloti grad @JaretPatterson made the @Commanders 53-man roster in 2021.
He’s trying to do it again.
JP told me, “I know my opportunity will come whether they want me here or not. It doesn’t matter. I know I belong in this league.”

New Falcons QB Taylor Heinicke said last week it’s challenging to learn the team’s long play calls.
“I like the fact that he’s complaining,” Arthur Smith said. “It’s our job to push Taylor out of his comfort zone. Taylor is a very smart guy… regardless of how he looks.”— Josh Kendall (@JoshTheAthletic) August 22, 2023

Jerry being Jerry: #Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on DE Sam Williams getting arrested for a second time: “This sounds a little hollow, but he is maturing. What was he going, 66 mph? … That’s 32 mph less this year. 98 last year to 66, so that’s improvement.”pic.twitter.com/UxZ4ngcwPt
