Tuesday's practice was part of a voluntary minicamp. A few players were missing, including new tight end Hayden Hurst (again, it's voluntary) and Burns (who had ankle surgery last week).

Not a good way to make an impression on the new team, Hurst. Cut him and draft his replacement!

 

Is that the proper overreaction to that news?🤔

No matter the post or reply we can't get anyone off the QB debate threads. At least this is an Alt free zone lol.

The QB debate will rage until next draft. These guys aren't going to let it go once the season starts just because they want to be able to say I told you so to those in the opposite camp.

He hates football. Is he holding out for more money??? Check Reddit.

I'm a little concerned that he lives in Jacksonville Florida by choice, but TE's are a rare breed and it helps if they're a little bit off. We've been way too soft at the position as of late

He seems more gadget-y to me.  Want someone with more shiftiness and speed than LS, although he did grade out very well; he was in slot 51.5% of his snaps which accounted for 50 snaps in the slot the entire year.  

For comparison, Shi Smith was played in the slot for 266 passing snaps which accounted for 78.7% of his snaps.  That accounted for 38 targets with only 22 receptions.  We could really use a slot upgrade.  Smith was graded 110th out of 113 eligible receivers.

He can return kicks and block very well so I wouldn't be surprised if he makes the team. Thomas Brown was a returner so I know he's not gonna easily accept having Shi or Chuba back there

Thielen is definitely starting in the slot

Was that his fault?

Unsure.  Shi's usage didn't really change after we landed Shenault.  Once here, we brought Laviska in on very specific playcalls so he just seemed to be used in a more creative fashion.  That was with Rhule and then a dismantled hodge-podge staff so we'll see. 

Even in JAX, his slot play was still in the 57% range of his passing snaps.  Only 27% his rookie year.

It will be interesting how the new staff evaluates him and if they think they can get more usage for him.  Looking forward to that with a lot of players.

      NHL Goalie Tiers: The Game

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The Athletic posted their goalie rankings for the season... The description of the tiers are as follows... Where would you rank Freddie and Pyotr? And don't cheat and look up the article. I'll post their ranks and the link in a bit.

      Chances against the Cowboys

      By frankw · Posted

      Refs will be in their pocket. Always have to account for that. They are 20th in rush defense. They currently have the worst pass defense in the league. I mean I want to say even Bryce could at least put up 250 or more passing yards given that but man he looked BAD when the pocket collapsed against Miami and they had the 20th pass defense. Just can't expect to consistently get clean pockets like that in this league even with the better OL's. I'd say with this being a home game hopefully our guys will be motivated regardless. We certainly seem to play much better at home. We'll see.

      Did the Panthers get Mike McDaniel fired now?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They'd never do it, because it really would be insane to do, but if I'm the Commanders, I'd seriously consider trading Daniels after this season, especially as he'd get a HUGE return for him. He's RG3 part 2, with his body type and style of game, I just can't see how he holds up long term, he's going to end up having a seriously injury prone career. It would take some massive balls (or pure insanity) to pull the trigger on trading him, but I do think 5 years from now it would be looked back upon as a smart trade.
