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

[Capsman]

17 is a great receiver but just doesn’t have breakaway speed after the catch. He’s quick but top end speed is above average. Would be nice to get a big receiver who can take those to the house. Someone like that with Maclauren would make us deadly.

Porter Jr cheats like every play

big Ekler TD machine

Every time I watched SD they treated him like a situational receiving back who shouldn't be trusted with anything resembling power.

SD fans have long argued that their coaching staff misuses everyone and gets the least out of the roster and I can't say they look wrong now that this guy escaped. He's been a favorite guy to watch for a long time. Tuten at VT reminds me a lot of him, for future purposes

Shitty tackling on Pickens was shitty.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Lots of bad tackling on this drive…

 

[Capsman]

This defense simply can’t put games away when they have to. One way or another they will let a team right back in.

Thats one big reason they just traded for Lattimore. They really just lack talent in the secondary. Can't fix every hole in one year.

I still don’t think Whitt is a particularly clever d-coordinator. The type who makes his defense better than the sum of its parts. There’s a reason we don’t get many turnovers, not much disguised. Like that earlier 3rd and long dump off for a 1st down he blitzed 2 but could have disguised it and dropped one into coverage. Made it an easy conversion for the Steelers.

 

[usiel]

Lot of dropped passes today.

Guy is competent and that's an upgrade

Was that a bad pass or did OZ drop it?

I agree he is an upgrade. The guys we had before took more talent and made them worse.

That last one was right in his hands and didn't catch it before the db came in.

Also interestingly JD is really putting the heat on some of the passes that normally he would throw with a bit more touch.

They're 15th in the league in points against. Last year they were dead last, by a massive amount. WTH do you expect in one year?

I’m not sure about this take. We have adjusted after a couple of bad games to start the season. The issue is the secondary. We traded for someone not playing today. But seconary is definitely the weak spot.

Good stop there though!

Ah ok, I’ll have to watch that one again.

 

[usiel]

Nice hold there to get some good field position.

 

[DWGie26]

I got a few minutes of BC-Bears-Skins.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Drop drop drop.

 

[usiel]

SO MANY drops.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I get pretty nervous with these field goal kicks

 

[DWGie26]

Haha! That was a total hold we got away there.

 

[trick9]

Catch? Anyone?

 

[Lou Sassole]

SO MANY drops.

Ertz is killing me today.

 

[Capsman]

Is Sinnot THAT unready to get some plays? Does Ertz offer us THAT much of an advantage? Between falling down all the time and drops …

 

[kicksavedave]

Whitt's defense making a play.
