This defense is gonna be a monster this year.

Calling top 5, maybe top 3 in the league

I didn't say he'd be a bust, I think early impressions are good. Just saying him getting burnt is an inevitability, hope fans don't overreact when it does happen.

I can see that

Re: Commanders 2023 Off-Season Thread
 

The defense definitely looks ready for prime time, but unless the offense takes a big step forward it will be wasted.

I want to see Forbes when the pads are on and he's got to deal AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. Until then nothing else really matters.

Early returns are he's holding his own.. IN PRACTICE.

Practice performance is a bit Schroedingers cat. It's not game day performance but until game day comes around its the best measure you have. All you can ask of a player in practice is to do their best, and if they do, that's good. You don't dismiss a players performance at practice just because it's practice.

I just think we need to temper expectations. Let the kid play in an actual game before we crown him the #1 corner.

If he was getting schooled right now I doubt the same people saying it’s just practice would give him the benefit of the doubt. He’d already be labeled a bust.

Agreed. That goes for looking good or bad, like Matty alluded to. Certainly doesn’t mean that is who he is gonna be on the field, but it is no doubt an indication that they have a big learning curve ahead of them. That is when you hope he has a good work ethic, and that we have a solid staff.
Anyway, What else is there to do in the offseason other than measure performance in practice and practice is all we got. It is a pretty good estimation imo, unless you are a proven vet.

Saw that we had interest in Kareem Hunt, I wouldnt be opposed to him coming in.

Man a couple years ago yes. Now, I support the youth movement [B]unless[/B] they think the rookie isn’t ready.

Always like Hunt
