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

[CapitalsCupReality]

The more I’ve dug into this years FAs the more I’m convinced their primary target should be Chris Godwin. He’s a run blocking slot receiver who can get open downfield and was graded out Top 10 overall WR. Only red flag is injury history.

As much as I love Higgins he doesn’t fit KKs offense.

Ronnie Stanley at T and maybe an edge rusher via trade…

Don’t the best coaches build systems around their weapons, not the reverse? (I have very little opinion on Higgins either way, I just know JD needs weapons).

I love tee Higgins. He goes across the middle. Terry is best tearing the top off. Higgins frees that up because he is a load to handle in the middle. And he can go deep.

No shit!

Right? It says something. Maybe WFT can't get a total near-MVP gamebreaking stud like Barkley (anymore...what a miss) but that ONE position probably decided the game more than anything else.

So "we're not one piece away" may not be that accurate. If PHI are running Gainwell all game long, do we still lose? If they have Gainwell and we have Barkley what's the result?

Hell, PHI got SEVEN f***ing rushing TDs and one pass TD, a 4yder to Brown. To me that says DL and LBs need the most attention, despite what we've thought about the secondary. Granted, Barkley and Hurts accounted for 6 of those TDs and they're incredibly hard to stop for anyone, but 6 is way way too much.

Which still means to me what I said before...get a banger, elite talent RB and shore up that DL especially up the middle. With MG adding to that line and JD doing his thing you have a chance to repeat a deep playoff run next year.

Remember when I said earlier in the season the WR2 needs may have changed compared to preseason because JD was showing how good he is, and makes all his WRs better like Brady used to? I caught some shit for that but it sure seemed like everyone below Terry turned into a kind of WR2.5...not elite WR1-2 level but good enough for a WR2 rotation.

Would still be nice to have another really solid deep threat WR2 to just scare the piss out of defenses and make safeties choose a side of the field, though.
