OT: Washington Commanders: 2022 Offseason - Part 1 - Commander Carson Edition

[John Price]

Well, the Philadelphia Stars' mascot is officially named "Blob"

It's a knockoff Gritty. Love it.

DC fans should know by now they're stuck with Snyder. All these allegations and he still keeps his team. You just hope he doesn't meddle and lets football people do their jobs.

Your defeatism is depressing AF….

It's a highlight vid so hard to judge the full body of work. I don't know the guy prior to seeing this and first impression is has very good "late" hands and makes contested catches in traffic. Not sure how much of a true vertical threat he is because almost all the clips are possession situations and he's jumping for the ball with little YAC most of the time. Not clear if that's a habit, a necessity, or something else.

If taken at the right time could be a good pick.

Those contested catches will be harder on NFL secondaries. Nothing about his highlights are exciting. I’m for either Stingley Jr or Hamilton.

We need some weapons in the secondary. Pick up a WR in the later rounds.

I wouldn't root for Philly against an asteroid.

Uh, his doing that is FAR less likely than his losing the team.
In fact, I'd argue it's less likely than Putin apologizing to Ukraine and giving Crimea back as a gesture of goodwill.

I’m watching the USFL. It is what it is. Minor league football. Having said that, I hope it works this time. Football needs a minor league for development and one of these leagues lasting more than one season could lead to decent football.u

The announcer says the teams have only had three weeks to prepare for the season. It looks like it.

Also, Tampa Bay Bandits are my team. The original team was co-owned by Burt Reynolds. Good reason to root for them.

If Hamilton is there at 11, they need to put the card in as soon as they stop peeing themselves with glee. Which means they'll take a 3rd rd.-rated DT becasue they lost their depth.

I hate that they're pretending the teams represent cities when they're all based in and playing in one location. But that's actually the one thing that might give it a chance to succeed.
Terrific read on ESPN about the WFL -- it was the lack of solid ownership league-wide that sunk it.

Yeah that’s cheesy but they are some of the original team names. Nice nostalgia.

The little drone zipping around in the sideline shot, and the noise it makes, is gonna take some getting used to.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

USFL wasn’t terrible…

The last quarter was good.

The last quarter was good.

That’s what I saw…

Terrible scheme, no other receiving threats and a QB who hadn't recovered from a broken collar bone suffered at the end of the previous season. There's a reason Clay Helton was tossed out the door so early in the season. He's not going to take the top off a defense, but he does a fantastic job of route running, finding open space underneath and separating while the ball is in the air. Would be a good complement to McLaurin, who needs to prove that he's worth the huge price tag he's asking this season, cause he's not top 10 at the position right now imo.

Right now I prefer Wilson over London if its going to be a receiver.

Better vid production quality but also a wider skillset. Looks like a true WR1 or WR2, whereas I see London as a better career slot guy, all at first glance.

It's going on right now and has been going on for 2 years since Rivera has been in charge

 

[Cush]

waiting for a drone to hit someone or get hit by the ball

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Will be interesting to see who is a no show.

When I watch London's highlights I keep thinking like he's a tight end shorter gains moving the chains type receiver.

 

[Drakon]

That was the offense. They didn't run deep routes the last couple of years. It was baby's first air raid.

Good to know. They'd need to evaluate his speed and ability to get off the line.
