First-year defensive coordinator Daronte Jones has noticed as well, "Josh is, he’s picking up the tutelage of Coach Pagano. But then also, he’s surrounded by some good guys in that room," Jones said. "With KC K’Lavon Chaisson and ‘Doff’ Odafe Oweh and Dorrance Armstrong, they’re in his ear. He’s watching those guys; he’s learning from those guys. So, he’s in a good group where he can kind of fast-track a little bit of the maturation process, but I like where he is so far."To continue reading this article, CLICK HERE...Camp analysis...

Practice concluded with a two-minute drill, and Taaffe broke up a potential touchdown pass in the back of the end zone as time expired.“I wouldn’t say we’re in midseason form,” Daniels said. You wouldn’t want to be in midseason form right now. ... I still got some ways to go. We have explosive plays, but a lot is not perfect. I’m still working. The whole team’s still working. We’re still building that chemistry and continuity.”To continue reading this article, CLICK HERE...Jayden Daniels uses Commanders joint practice to put NFL doubters on noticeWhen Daniels finds his groove, he is an absolute surgeon.

Here's what I will say: Chig Okonkwo and Lawrence Cager stood out to me, just as they have throughout camp. Okonkwo just feels like a natural fit for Washington's offense and gets open often. He had a nice catch during two-minute drills near the sideline with no one around him, and that's a credit to his ability to create separation with his routes.Cager has shown noticeable growth this offseason, and it feels like he and Colson Yankoff are having a good battle for a potential fourth tight end spot. Cager has some physical tools that he's used to his advantage as a blocker and receiver.As for how each tight end was utilized, I feel like the roles were what we've seen to this point. Okonkwo is the best pass-catcher in the bunch for sure, while players like Cager, Yankoff and Ben Sinnott were a little of both with upside receivers.To continue reading this article, CLICK HERE...Time is winding down in Super Bowl XVII, and Washington has been trailing the entire game. Hope for the franchise’s first ever Super Bowl title is not lost, but with each second off the clock, it’s dimming. It’s Washington’s ball. Just over ten minutes left. Fourth-and-inches on Miami’s 43-yard line. The anticipation is thick in the Southern California air. The noise of over 103,000 fans surges. In this scenario, with the stakes this high, there was only one man the ball was going to.Commanders' Jayden Daniels Responds to Ongoing NIL ControversyThe Washington Commanders' star quarterback finds himself embroiled in an NIL controversy with LSU, the school with which he won the distinguished Heisman Memorial Trophy, as his camp is reportedly "deeply disappointed" and feels "profoundly disrespected" at the university's choice to hand his hallowed No. 5 to a recruit.To continue reading this article, CLICK HERE...
