I think some folks are making far too much of a practice on August 8th in the rain. They don’t play for a month. It’s the beginning of a rebuild. Sky ain’t falling folks. Lotta football left.

Was really hoping for two joints, not one, so I could watch the him v Jets D one of the days. I was with offense today. Excited for preseason game for this reason.
Also really hard to judge QBs, WRs today in rain. https://t.co/TDpgk01Rm3

Practice is over. Gonna say that’s a good thing. Rough or up/down day in all three phases. Rain didn’t help but that’s part of the deal.

Tamp down your expectations. Offense hasn’t been able to find a rhythm or generate anything explosive in limited team reps. https://t.co/xNR6FoqjgU

Overall, the Commanders joint practice was a market correction for any runaway expectations about this year.
One bad practice can’t doom a season, but it can dampen enthusiasm that the offense will excel right away. pic.twitter.com/JWgN8l5UAm

As Brandon Aiyuk’s hold-in (and spree of trade rumors) continues, the #49ers will bring in a veteran. Robbie Chosen, known a bit more for name changes than production recently, has nevertheless made 86 starts in an eight-year career https://t.co/itCxL1RKlk

Nick Foles retires: 71 games played, 58 starts, 29-29 record, 14,227 yards, 82 TDs, 47 INTs, one Super Bowl titlehttps://t.co/EWYOAq6blR pic.twitter.com/nXzur2LMf9

The retirement of Nick Foles leaves two QBs from the Class of 2012—the 75th pick, Russell Wilson; and the 102nd pick, Kirk Cousins. That group was considered one of the best in years. But fair to say the final result will be way different than what anyone expected.
