The Bills staff made a concerted effort to not lose to that front. It’s why I liked what Dorsey and Kromer did. They didn’t want their TEs base blocking their DEs. So they used influence blocks & angles to create some creases. Make them think TE is blocking, DEs prep for contact… pic.twitter.com/sbAOtUI78H

Do you think CJ Stroud is fundamentally further ahead then Sam Howell is? https://t.co/HBnEUowK18

With Washingtons current situation, should developing Sam be more important than winning football games? https://t.co/sfhXv1EN7X

If I’m reading these right, both Washington guards look pretty good, Leno looks okay; Andrew Wylie, not so much. https://t.co/u7xzVbNliK

In 3 games, the Commanders are at 51.7% (16/31) for drives that start in their own territory and reach, at least, the opponents 40 or, what I would call, scoring territory.
After 3 games in 2022, they were at 34.3% (12-35) so they’re off to a much better start so far.#HTTC

Kendall Fuller’s 88.2 overall grade is the second highest CB grade in all of the NFL.
He’s been targeted 12 times, allowing 5 catches for 26 yards on the entire season.

First time running my trenches evaluation, which adjusts pass rush/block grades for difficulty of assignments (double teams, strength of opposing blocker/rusher etc.).

PFF isn’t gospel, but this accords with what my eyes see. The O-line could be better, but it’s more than that. Howell is holding on to the ball the way you’d expect a lot of very young QBs to hold on to the ball. https://t.co/AacxfxA464

The Commanders are 8.5 point underdogs against the Eagles on Sunday.
They’ll play on FOX for the first time since Week-1. Joe Davis and Moose Johnston will be on the call. The Commanders have won 2 of their last 3 at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Cowboys are always looking to bolster their offense, so when I heard a show say Dallas should call Atlanta to see if Kyle Pitts is available, I checked into it.
