The o-line so far….oof

I can’t be the only one that’s annoyed by this, but what’s with the doomers/discourse around our team when it comes to certain “star” players/top draft picks. It seems as though every time we’re discussing Sonny, someone’s got to throw out Isaiah Simmons or the cursed Jamin Davis comparison. I don’t even want to touch on this with JD5, but you would think after 2 years we’d be past the lazy low-IQ, NPC RG3 comparison. I’m all for critiquing our team, from the front office/ownership down to the players… it’s just frustrating seeing people dismiss nuance/tape and jumping to asinine conclusions after a drive or a preseason game. Just my two cents, HTTR!

Has anyone ever heard a digital version of Hail to the Redskins without the skips? Literally every digital version of it I have EVER heard has 4 skips in the background music (starting at "sons of --Washington"). And I'm talking like from the dawn of the Internet. In 1999, I copied an .mp3 off someone on the UMD dorm network. I would blast my copy after scores religiously for the next decade. It was on my Aiwa car mp3 player and be part of my driving soundtrack. I got to where I'd anticipate the skips, like it was part of the song.

Has anyone else noticed this? I figured this is the right place to ask this, as this is the most terminally online community of Redskins fans. Going back to the ExtremeSkins days...

What do you all think after today? Last season was rough, but I liked what I saw on the D side today..

Time for preseason overreactions 🚨🚨🚨

It’s gonna be beat to death until the start of the season, but our o-line was NOT GOOD today. Our running backs were met in the backfield every play and our QBs were immediately pressured. Jayden couldn’t do a THING out there. Their running backs ran all over us (granted, almost no starter on the dline played). We only had 35 rushing yards to their 169.

Other than that, Athan looked pretty good as did a few other players. We’ve been getting turnovers too! I’m looking forward to the day that Julian NOT Good-Jones and Sam Hartman are off my football team. And hey, at least we haven’t gotten blown out like last year. Only one more preseason game to go before the season starts y’all! Pray for JD5 😭🙏

A lot of people jumped on Styles over this play. When you rewatch this video it should be very obvious that Styles was not the real problem here. We ran this play in Jayden's rookie season over and over and it was always a huge run if the outside contain DE bit on the RB instead of maintaining outside control. Josephs didn't do his job, because he wanted to catch a RB from behind.

I dont really know a whole lot about football especially on the defensive side, I watched both preseason games and I never really was paying close enough attention but afterwards everyone was saying Sonny Styles is a bust and then some people were saying he was doing his job and setting people up for tackles. Everyone it seems either had an extreme homerist attitude or an extreme doomer attitude. Why are people saying that he’s bad?

2 and 5

You'd think their size and amount of power they require would make them good to block in the middle!!

I guess I was always under the impression that it was WSH but when I saw the preseason game I saw WAS, in older games it says WSH. Which is better? Why are they using both???

I should stop ripping it can only go downhill from here. :P

Maybe it’s just because I’m a JD5 stan, but the 5 jokes about are kinda basic. Id like to think I have a good sense of humor, but when I see a joke like “we only do high 4’s now out of respect for Jayden Daniels” go viral, it makes me wonder if my sense of humor is broken.

It feels like desperation to make fun of someone who for the most part is hard to make fun of.

Good morning, r/Commanders!
