Josh Harris and his ownership group completely get it.
Last night, Harris reached out to the station knowing 500 Commanders fans would be at our live event. He’s giving everybody who came 2 tickets to the preseason game in AUG.
That’s how you build your base up. Love to see it.

Linking your new GM with a HC he can form a strong partnership with is everything. You want the Holmes/Quinn, Snead/McVay rapport.
Peters on Quinn —
“We had a chance to sit down and discuss a philosophy and vision for constructing a winning football program, and I can’t wait…

Only watched 2 games of his Cards offense from 2022 so far, but initial impressions:
-Lots of passing, lots of shotgun
-More pure progression reads than coverage reads
-Concepts quite good in isolation, but lack sequencing https://t.co/ZPd2zCD369— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) February 4, 2024
Initially very concerned because the USC offense was trash this year & Kingsbury was there, but his Cards offense was much better
OL coach always a critical hire but one that could help improve his sequencing would be huge. Haven’t seen a married run/pass game in WAS for a while

Y’all do know that Kingsbury was the senior offensive analyst and quarterbacks coach at USC this past year right? He coached Caleb Williams. I’m just saying… ♂️ #NFL #httc pic.twitter.com/FivgSItAFb

Ken Zampese, the Commanders’ senior offensive advisor/game management last season and their QBs coach from 2020-22, was hired as a senior offensive assistant for the Falcons.

Ok so now it’s officially a mud slinging situation, and at this point, don’t even care about what the actual truth is lol. https://t.co/Cy7SSTQ9oq

Here is my take after re-watching some more games of Jayden Daniels.
I’m “warming up” to him a bit. I saw some issues on tape but “some” of them I believe are correctable.
still have concerns with his ability to read D and throwing into tight windows
He’s crept up a bit tho https://t.co/yhCN6S6QSX

Beautiful deep ball with touch, placement/accuracy and enough air to allow his wide receiver to run underneath it.
Keeps ball over the outside shoulder and away from defender. pic.twitter.com/5HaGq09kbM
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) February 3, 2024
Nice timing, velocity and ball placement here. Sets feet and maintains a good base. Makes this throw look easy. pic.twitter.com/50VasmCqPd

This is a laser across the middle and it give his receiver room to run after the catch pic.twitter.com/G4RztH3Vbe

This is just special. Not many players can do this. pic.twitter.com/X3AvNaNfGL

And now some of the negatives:
Here Daniels stares down his target. This should have been picked. pic.twitter.com/zN9u3Iusig
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) February 3, 2024
Here he locks into his receiver. Never tries to move the safety with his eyes. In the NFL, this is probably an interception. pic.twitter.com/YgsW6zbdDf
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) February 3, 2024
He doesn’t know how to protect his body. He takes WAY too many big hits for his 205 pound frame. Two guys are open here on the crossers. Take what the D is giving you. pic.twitter.com/k1Bi82Wskq
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) February 3, 2024
Spent more time re-watching Jayden Daniels. My thoughts/observations are in the thread I posted earlier.
However, for those making comparisons, for me, he’s much more RG3 and Fields(a bit slower and more slighter frame) than Lamar.
