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

Terry may not be fast after catch but his hands footwork and toughness are off the charts!

This. Like Gary Clark.

That was a GREAT catch by Scary Terry.

Man Pitt’s front 7 is awfully good.

We are lucky to have kept TJ Watt quiet so far

Shocked that Heyward could take down JD like that.

Definitely feels like the best Dline they've faced this season.

Pickens is a punk…

Not having Wylie seems to hurt, but Scott hasn't been awful.

Honestly JD looks a little less nimble today than last week. I wonder if the ribs are bothering him more today. Or it could be just Pitt’s D making him look that way.

The front four has been good at having lane discipline no obvious gaps to take off and run.

 

[DWGie26]

One of the things I like about our run Dee is that there is always support and like 4-5 guys there when runner goes down!

 

[usiel]

Looking at league scores on the early games today there are some tight ones.

 

[ynotcaps]

Weird game. Lots of good, but too much bad.

JD not as crisp as usual, but too many brutal drops. Run D has been better, but BSJ is still a Commander-killer.

This is the kind of game we'd lose most of the last 25 years. This team feels like it's going to win it.

Finish strong!

But we’ve seen him escape from rushes kike Haywards’ all season.

 

[Capsman]

BSJ man. For a guy who can’t cover, you’d think at least when he’s there he can make the play. We need an upgrade over him even at CB#2. He should be nothing more than a nickel.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Holy shit huge fumble

 

[DWGie26]

Is it official yet?

 

[kicksavedave]

Joe Whitt's defense making another play!

 

[usiel]

But we’ve seen him escape from rushes kike Haywards’ all season.

I would think that one would be less agile with a rib injury that still looks like it is effecting him.

How do the Chiefs always get away with it no matter what

Hah blocked field goal.

 

[Beef Invictus]

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?

He's getting a result better than the sum of the parts just by running a basic defense that everyone understands and works cohesively in. That's not meant as a complaint. You have a lot of young and low/moderate skill players. Why try to have them to more than they can?

Last few years I was certain the defense was not getting the results it could. Now? It's hard to imagine this set of players doing better than this as the norm. It's a coaching triumph.

And JDR should never work at the DC level again

 

[usiel]

Guess this game is down to the D.

 

[Capsman]

BSJ has absolutely zero ball skills. He easily could have gotten a hand in there. I’m not sure there is anything he really does at an even average CB 2 level.
