Welcome to the Commanders Jer'Zhan Newton DT Illinois
FootballZombie replied to PCS's topic in The Stadium
I've heard that after watching vids of guys playing w/ clubs, Johnny is fired up n ready to play w/ the boot. -
I think Dan Quinn just made the same mistake Josh Harris did when he first bought the team and he is about to learn the same lesson that the latter had to have beaten over his head. People in position of power in this org have more influence to incite things than they realize, and that has good and bad consequences.

Welcome to the Commanders Jayden Daniels QB LSU
FootballZombie replied to PCS's topic in The Stadium
You got lost in his eyes didn't u? They will do that to u. Until I see how JD protects himself on gameday I think I need 3 QBs and I'm reserved to that. QB2/QB3 order would not matter too much to me if they see something in ol' Rugged-McManly. -

I'm a hard stickler to the idea that if you are getting a 4 or 5 XL jersey your should be relegated to linemen. "I don't wanna see people busting the seams on a Desean Jackson Jersey" -
If its a wide open fight it really makes me wonder what the plan is for the return game. I personally have just been penciling in Crowder as WR3 as he is a gameday manda-deploy as our return man. But if we have options than his WR3 spot, and even his roster spot really, are on the table.

Prolly But its a blessing too. Great talent at a cheaper price, as long as your willing to dish out for the injury tax. Given our roster construction, if there is any rookie we can afford to slow roll with its this dude. Give him all the time he needs, limit his reps, whatever. No rush whatsoever. -

It was really hard to tell what was going on there from the far away clips but now I see. I do hope the spacing is better than what I can make out here cuz if one guy eats it and goes down u got a nascar pile up situation on your hands. Living dangerously! No risk-it no biscuit I guess. -
Welcome to the Commanders Luke McCaffrey WR ~ RICE
FootballZombie replied to zCommander's topic in The Stadium
Very impressive for a rook. Clearly he is not very bothered by pressers or speaking. His words per minute is crazy. Just fires 'em out there, no simmer time. Answering questions before they finish asking them. Almost like he has somewhere to be. lol I'd be interested to hear him talk after you put him on decaff. Could probably cut back a ton on the "Ya know"s a bunch if he too a breath and slowed up. -

Newton is in a walking boot today so he is still recovering for his procedure. https://atozsports.com/washington/johnny-newton-walking-boot-rookie-minicamp/ -

That throwing motion is so clean. Always pops for me, especially when you remember he's a rook. That is a pretty large media throng too. Feels similar to what we got for Josh Harris training camp, and this is just a rookie mini-camp. -
Welcome to the Commanders Ben Sinnott TE Kansas State
FootballZombie replied to PCS's topic in The Stadium
I think Rodgers and Turner r fighting 4 TE 4. I value Bates blocking in an o that will have runners in space -

I don't think the NFL has the power to punish players who are not NFL players. Unless these dudes signed a contract, they are free to make bets as they wish. As long as they shut up about this thing when it all becomes official, I don't think it will be a problem. -
Given the spread of lies in the news these days I had to double check that RFK stuff and... ITS REAL?! Dead Brain Worm... Dead MF'n Brain Worm... @TheGreatBuzz is gonna need to violently and aggressively up the bingo game squares cuz I did not know this was even a possible outcome. You can't script this. Jeebus.

Welcome to the Commanders Jayden Daniels QB LSU

Jayden specifically used the Cognilize software. Not something you can just walk in the store and buy. You sign up for the service with the company and they have technicians that work alongside you to implement and evolve the program to your individual specifications (your playbook, defenses, upcoming stadiums, whatnot) No idea about the cost but I'm willing to bet its very pricey and subscription based. They don't quote prices on their website. LSU started w/ QBs and extended it to other positions. While it is likely most valuable for a QB, other position groups can improve from metal reps and recognition as well. The Cognilize company is still relatively new to football tho, so the program will need to evolve farther for better usage at other groups. LSU felt like they were just "scratching the surface" in that regard. They are working with them to create specializations for other groups, but they did not have the time to do it in season. It will absolutely expand in the coming years. Here is a podcast I found from a while back where it is spoken about in depth https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heyfightinpodcast/episodes/Cutting-Edge-with-Jack-Marucci-A-deeper-dive-into-Cognilize--the-German-VR-technology-key-to-LSUs-quarterback-development-e2fffqm Couple interesting things from the above Pod. -Teams that were interested in JD back in Feb uploaded their own plays for him to practice w/ in VR. He has been working directly w/ a specialized selection of plays from various teams for months. Kinda crazy. -We knew previously that the program could operate faster than real life, to limit the time a QB has to make a choice, but LSU sped up the program as the season progressed and their players became more acclimated. By the end of the year Jayden was running reps at over 70% increased game speed and apparently was making it look effortless. -The turnaround time for requested changes was fast. Most of the time, just a day. -They utilized a specialized ball that lets them track flight data, velocity, spin, wobble, arc, and then instantly provide feedback after a throw. "hey you threw that one to hard" or "you need more arc" ***** MAJOR POSSIBLE FUTURE NFL IMPLICATIONS*** After JD got the concussion, he was cleared to use VR b4 he was cleared for physically practicing or playing. They were able to track and compare his performance from b4 the injury to alleviate fears that he was still hurt. JDs practices were actually slightly better following the injury so they knew he was fine. Then he went out and stole Florida's collective souls. -
The weight stuff was/is overblown. The real issue is and always will be avoiding the car crashes, b/c your weight is pretty much meaningless in those situations. You'll break if your 190 or 250. Hence my obsession w/ exposing him to a slide coach that boarders on zealotry. Lamar is pretty great at not getting hit by nuclear bombs, he can afford to give up a few pounds. JD will need to be adept at this as well. We will see if he is at the NFL level Lamar was 216lbs at the combine. Was 230lbs 2 years ago, before getting down to 215lbs last year and 205lbs now. Crazy ability to reshape his body and remain athletic.

Wild how some of the narratives around each player changed when more "NFL guys" got to jump into the breakdown sphere after the professional season ended for everybody following the super bowl and they kind of took things over from the "youtube randos". We saw key negatives/positives for a variety of prospects absolutely flipped on their head. Just further fuel to the fire about how I devalue those kinds of vids and will continue to do so in the future. Gimmie guys w/ some clout. -
I for one will judge his lean. If your gonna pimp walk, you better PIMP walk. I wanna see the entirety of his body weight being supported by a fancy cane that is slightly too small for his frame. Then you gotta have a random person just standing next to the podium for him to level w/ a backhand after the conclusion of his message just to show the world that he keeps his pimp hand strong.

Not surprising at all. Looks a bit worse when you factor in that we were 27th in avg attendance so there were generally less fans at the games themselves spending this amount of money on food n booze. Personally, I don't go out and throw money at 3rd party stuff as this guy suggests tho. I just have no desire to buy Commanders stuff and that's where it stops. Daniels would certainly help the team merch sales and attendence cause this year if he balls out. Its gonna take more than that tho. In the mean time, I'm just waiting.

Even if it did, its a scale of diminishing returns, while the punishment is on the track to grow. Even if he can grift off it the first time, it will lose its effectiveness after repeated use, just like everything else hes done. Meanwhile, the door to jailing him will be opened, and the punishments will grow and the leash he will be on will shorten, leading to further jailing in this an other cases. The first time may be 5 days. Then 2 weeks. Then a month and so on. Then when you get to eventual sentencing for the case proper, the price paid for a former president who has never went to jail is likely different than it is for a president who has been in jail b4. I'll take that.
