Commanders Training Camp 2024

I'm hoping Bobby Wagner is our new London Fletcher, even if only for a season. We need leaders and tone-setters to get this franchise towards leaving the (snyder) past behind. I'm excited for Ekeler in the same tone. Outside of adding a good FA offensive tackle (which is obviously not easy, if even possible), I don't think we could have had a better offseason.

Yes I agree and I LOVE our approach, see what we have in our kitchen cabinets with a new chef in town before we go spending…can Coleman turn into our booked Tackle?! Maybe…would be huge! Can Jayden Daniels quick release/mobility and new offensive system make our O line’s life easier, maybe we’ll see…we didn’t spend on a WR (resigning Samuel’s or expensive free agent), or spend big other than Luvu (I love) and the center from Dallas and Dorance Armstrong (who DQ knows very well with his time in Dallas)…so safe spending and a bunch of 1 year rentals…Wilie and Jonathan can come off the books after this year with huge cap savings…MAJOR cap room coming our way and we’ll have MUCH better clarity of what we have and what we TRULY need…I mean this is down right genius…if we DO struggle, that’s fine cus we’re rebuilding and high draft picks will only help…so WIN WIN

3. Daniels may need some time to develop as a passer, but he is sure to make a major impact right out of the gate for two primary reasons: his elite rushing ability and new Washington playcaller Kliff Kingsbury, who operates the fastest-moving offense in the league. The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner led all FBS quarterbacks with 1,134 rushing yards.

8. Here's another high-impact move by Washington, as Dan Quinn's new-look defense will be anchored by a future Hall of Famer in Wagner. The 34-year-old hasn't lost a step, having led the NFL in tackles (183) last season. He and fellow newcomer Frankie Luvu (foreshadow alert) will combine forces to make up one the league's best off-ball-linebacker pairings.

29. Bobby Wagner might have the bigger name, but don't overlook the addition of Luvu to the linebacker room in Washington. The former Panther is one of only two players with 200-plus tackles and 12-plus sacks over the past two seasons (Demario Davis is the other).

The numbers next to each write up is the ranking out of 50

Wagner is instantly the quarterback of the defense…he can read plays pre snap as there’s not much he hasn’t seen…he can keep the flow of communication between the front seven and the defensive backs, for blitzing purposes and helping a lot with allignment. We didn’t have anyone with this type of knowledge in the middle of the defense since Fletcher. He commands respect with his resume, and will show other guys how to be a professional and taking care of their bodies…Luvu is going to be DQ’s Micah parsons…except far far cheaper (once Micah resigns and breaks the market)….Jordan Magee will benefit a lot with Wagner by his side, he could be our Fred Warner, as AP seems to work some magic in late rounds finding stud LB’s

its going be rainy but i am fucking going by myself on my birthday, ha!

So the USA Today newswire did an article on Forbes. Nothing really earth-shattering just Forbes is happy to be under the new coaching regime. I just have to pick on the editors of the article for the final paragraph -


Forbes has gotten off to a strong start in training camp and looks like a different player. The next test is seeing it translate to the games. Washington opens the preseason against the New York Gets on Saturday.


Proofreading is so dead in the news industry. That is unless the Jets and Giants merged into the New York Gets.[emoji1787]

Lol.. It would be nice if Forbes plays better, which would mean we have one less thing to worry about in the future.
