It’s Dallas week (L)

Max protect with only Dotson, Samuel and McLaurin on routes. Double-team Lawrence and Parsons. Still get sacked 5+ times.

Id focus on Parsons and hope D Law has another sleepy game. He had 3 sacks vs giants so hopefully hes due to go quiet for the next few games.

Hes also questionable but seems like a full go Sunday

Dallas - 24
WAS - 20

It'll be close because their offense lacks the firepower at WR but their backs will run well on us.

A late game fumble or pick will seal the deal for us

Gotta be able to run the ball. Run that shit repeatedly, and hopefully tire their front 7 out a bit, would make the passing game easier.

This would really be a great game to have Robinson. Wish this game was a couple weeks later.

Hard to have any optimism, especially reading our injury report (https://www.commanders.com/news/commanders-cowboys-week-4-injury-report), and realizing how depleted our Oline might be...

Leno, Schweitzer, Charles and Cosmi with injury designation... this has the potential to get reaaaally ugly...

LOL U Guys actually have a defense...

And a strong d coordinator. Ravens fucked up letting him go and you can see the results in Baltimore, their defense isn’t great.

So I googled for an article on us bringing up Wes Martin from the PS, seeing how thats going ...

Found a Martin. Nick Martin .. apparently we signed him last week, younger brother of boys Zack Martin.

Looks like Nick martin will be starting C on Sunday ... fudge

The Washington Commanders may be down to its third center as Wes Schweitzer did not practice Wednesday. Schweitzer is in the concussion protocol. If he doesn’t play, recently-signed Nick Martin will start at center for the Commanders Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

Schweitzer started in last week’s 24-8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in place of Chase Roullier. Washington placed Roullier on injured reserve last week with a significant knee injury. Roullier is seeking a second opinion before deciding on having season-ending knee surgery.

Martin is the younger brother of Cowboys All-Pro guard Zack Martin. Like his older brother, Nick Martin attended Notre Dame in college.

Washington signed Martin last week. He played four seasons with the Houston Texans after being drafted in the second round in 2016, making 62 starts. Last season, he served as a backup center with the Las Vegas Raiders after being released by Houston.

Nick says he reminded Zack that the younger brother is 2-0 against each other in the NFL.

Nick Martin said he talks to his brother Zack fairly regularly. When they talked this week, Nick reminded Zack that he’s 2-0 against him.

Schweitzer wasn’t the only Commanders offensive linemen that did not practice Wednesday. Starting left tackle Charles Leno was held out with a shoulder injury. However, Commanders head coach Ron Rivera isn’t concerned about Leno.

Additionally, offensive lineman Saahdiq Charles (shoulder), offensive tackle Sam Cosmi (knee), cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring), and running back Jonathan Williams (illness) were all limited from the Commanders’ practice. Defensive ends James Smith-Williams (abdomen) and Casey Toohill (concussion) and defensive tackle Daniel Wise (ankle) returned to practice with limited participation after each missed last week’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Week 4 ... and were on our 4th center (roullier, larsen, schweitzer .. now Martin, Nick Martin).

Well at least if we lose, my expectations are already on the floor and drilling into it trying to actually get underneath it, so I won't be too mad.

I'm probably going to make the mistake of going out and watching it too. Because it's the Cowboys. Hard to pass on those games.

Ah yes, but for all the lovers of good omens out there Nick Martin is 2-0 against his brother, so who needs a coaching staff when you have sort of Mojo going ( yes, yes I have lost all sense of reality with this team)
