Practice starting with an exercise of the WRs doing one hand catches. Cool have not seen that before

They just showed this live with Dotson on NFL LIVE.

I fully expect a season of quick 1 and 3 step drops and short throws to protect the OL and the young QB.  I am prepared for a really boring offense but I guess it's necessary.

It brings warmth to my heart to see the fans back.

It doesn’t have to be boring if it’s efficient.  
 

And if it gets guys open to make yards in space.

 

Jerry Rice probably caught 1/3 of his passes within 7 yards of the LOS.

easy completions haven’t been a large part of my fan experience, I won’t find it boring at all if it’s done well

Yikes I know some might think believing is seeing for me but the D line is like jail break right now at Howell

I worry for Tuddy's safety in this weather.

 

[Skinsinparadise]

Much better blocking with the 2nd teamers in there 

Keim said they like Quan Martin as a blitzer you can see that today. They e sent him multiple times 

Lucas stout blocking with the 2nd team 

[Skinsinparadise]

Fromm meh 

 

The other 2 have looked good 

Favorite guys to put in motion from what I’ve seen. Dyami and Curtis. Gates really struggling with his snaps

[Drfustercluck]

NFL Network completely dismissing the Commanders as one of the training camp teams on the show today. They went to Julie live at the beginning for about 45 seconds, and I haven't seen coverage since. 😢

[ixcuincle]

Seeing that massive crowd excites me here at the Mall 

[Skinsinparadise]

I really like Dyami today

Ron said in a presser yesterday he and Sam basically spent the whole off season together.  
 

That has to help. He has the tools.  In a better scheme with (hopefully) better QB play, he should be much more productive.

 

If he could get to 40 catches for the season,  which is between 2-3 a game, that would do wonders for the variety of the offense.  
 

Just give teams something else to think about.

 

 

[Skinsinparadise]

If I had to pick a signature play based on today it would be delayed routes by RBs set up by motion 

[Skinsinparadise]

Sam better with the short stuff today than deep and he seems to favor his left 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Ron actually praised the OL in the presser yesterday saying it was good to see them improve.  
 

I wonder if there is a tipping point where if they see the OL can’t do it, they start brining guys in.  Or looking for trades, or whatever. 
 

I don’t think they can wait until roster cuts to being guys in.  So if they think the OL won’t get there, I wonder when they realize that.  Assuming they come to that conclusion….

They are absolutely going to take shots when they are there with these weapons and Sams arm. Outside of the Oline there is no reason we shouldn’t. And even then all the short stuff sets the defense up for that more than anything else we could do would.

Not high praise that's for sure.

Without context that could mean they went from atrocious to bad.

Whatever Bates usage rate was last year, I'd bet it goes up this year. Could lead to an expanded passing role via leak-outs for the guy tho.

 

Good stock to invest in.

I think Turner is more likely to be the breakout TE than Bates. Bates is a solid #2/blocking TE but I don't see much of a receiving threat. He has no real explosiveness or wiggle.
