OT: 2024 Washington Commanders off-season thread: change we can believe in!

[CapitalsCupReality]

Gonna get this kid killed…

 

[marcel snapshot]

Sure we scored (maybe). But how many of those hits can he take?

 

[ynotcaps]

Glue the f***ing helmet to his ears!!!

 

[John Price]

Guy on Tampa named Mike Green, hilarious if he wore 52

 

[marcel snapshot]

Sure, run the kid again for a meaningless TD after he almost got killed on the last one. Are you f***ing kidding?

 

[ynotcaps]

Still the only Redballer with a TD all season...

I don't expect the defense to be this bad all year, but yeesh. The stench right now...

The amount of times they penetrated into the backfield and couldn't wrap op Baker was fairly pathetic

This isn’t NFL football. This won’t work.

Your franchise QB needs to know how to slide and keep his helmet on. It’ll be a miracle if he plays out his rookie contract.

The immaturity/arrogance is a thing.

Wait were there slides he didn't do well? Helmet thing is up in the air on who is responsible for that.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm not worried about sliding (OK, tumbling). I am very worried about the percent of the offense that is devoted to designed QB runs.

As stupid as it was for EB to have 5th rounder Howell dropping back on 70% of snaps, it's even stupider to have the rookie #2 OA run by design on 40-50 of snaps.

And the D. My dog hates it when we're on defense. "No, I'm not yelling at you, buddy. You're a sweet - YOU STUPID MOTHER******S, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????"

That was way too many QB runs

 

[Langway]

So many new faces. Same old reliable shittery.

Jesus, relax. Kid is not showing arrogance or immaturity. He’s playing within their system.

 

[bacchist]

Now I get to yap all year about how we should have traded down and picked up an elite OL and another critical piece instead of going after a shiny new quarterback toy.

And it will fall on deaf ears….can’t rebuild Rome in a day.

Did you watch the 1st half? He rolls like a toddler.

Take away those garbage time completions and yards and we're looking at Dewayne Haskins numbers give or take 30-40 yards rushing. His inability to find open receivers at this level is concerning. It's only one game but the same shit everyone who wasn't swooning over him called out pre-draft happened. I thought the line played decent, a lot better than last year. There were plays where he had more time to throw than Howell did his entire series and he checked down repeatedly. He can't slide to save his life, literally. He'll be injured if he continues to run for 80-100 yards a game. He took several ugly shots today and teams don't even know how to scheme for him yet or catch his tells. This team doesn't look any different to me on D. In fact they might be worse with no impact edge rushers now. Going to be a long year. Arch Manning 2026 draft here we come!

Watched the whole game still don't know what you are seeing but we can agree to disagree.

To be fair he doesn’t have receivers. All Bowles has to do is cover Terry. Everyone else is mid. It’s too early to judge him as a passer but his running style was apparently totally neglected by the coaching staff in the offseason.

I was in the prove it camp for Kingsbury and I’m now one foot in the clown show category.

It’s shocking how bad the D was.

Then you might want to get your eyes checked he rolls like a dunce. He doesn’t even slide. Worse than RG3.

Was he doing anything that Lamar does not do?

 

[twabby]

I'm glad I decided not to go to the game!

 

[EroCaps]

Lamar is actually great at protecting himself and still gets hurt. Not a great example.

By all means cheerlead and then ghost this thread when he suffers a catastrophic injury.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Looks like I was right in suggesting people would be losing their minds if he ran like Lamar lol….

I’d like to see the tape dissected and see where he ran when he should have thrown….

Tampa's secondary had a ton of guys out and we didn't take advantage of it. No chance that Brown and Crowder didn't get open the entire game. Him having no one to throw too except Terry is a bail out take. He only attempted 11 balls to WRs. Too much checking down and too much pull the ball down and run with a ton of time to go through progressions.

His forward roll is a joke. How did this not get identified by staff? He was doing it in college.

 

[tycoonheart]

This coaching staff ain't it.

Wasn't very enthusiastic about the Quinn and Kingsbury hirings, but figured I'd see how they would show for the first game of the season. The team looked unprepared, had some dumb penalties in the first half, and looked like they were still in pre-season mode. Defense couldn't stop TB offense, and offense couldn't do much other than Jayden scrambling for first downs. Its only the first game of the season, so not calling for them to get fired but sometimes you just get the feeling like they're not going to cut it. Its the opposite of the feeling I got with Carbery, who, even though he wasn't setting the world on fire early last season, you go the feeling as if he knew what he was doing based on how he talked about the game and his players.
