Was scrolling desperately looking for something even mildly interesting to appease the media addicted monkey in my brain. Saw this and immediately the serotonin started flowing. Today is a good day.
I love that you guys sound genuinely excited about things going well for every team. I could never be that unbiased
Adam Peters and Dan Quinn moving in lockstep
A new Owner that is not a complete weirdo and can hire top tier talent and let them do their jobs
This is all I’ve ever wanted as a Commanders fan😊
Y’all aren’t far off you’re really not if Daniels is good the offense is basically complete you add a few more pieces to certain places on the roster and you’ve got a legit contender in the NFC.
we have finally escaped purgatory
Amen
As a Giants fan, I am optimistic that they have really made a change for the better. If it can translate to play on the field I would be excited for them. Just as long as the cowboys end up at the bottom of the totem pole of the NFC East!
Honestly with as much drama as Dallas has had this offseason regarding contracts and their star players combined with their roster not being as good it’s not that outside the realm of possibility they could be significantly worse. Idk about worst in the division that’s pushing it but they certainly could miss playoffs have a down season
If you're a Giants fan and your only hope is that the Cowboys end up at the bottom, then you've had a lot of very disappointing Sundays.
@@AaronHoward81 yeah it has been some disappointing Sundays past few years....I will gladly take those over disappointing decades 🤙
@@johnweatherly7909 How's the last decade been? Pretty good?
Football wise? Not the best. Personal wise? Best decade yet.
i was born 6 months after dan snyder bought the team, so this is the first time in my entire life ive seen the commanders with a competent FO and coaching staff. my dad and uncles are all from the DMV and talk about how great the team was when they were growing up. im optimistic ill be able to witness some of that greatness in this new era of commanders (redskins) football. HTTC
Was born November 94’. It’s been a long road. Think the right moves are being made. Bandwagoners not welcome..
My nephew is 31 I always tell him how much respect I have for his generation of fans cause …..they won 2 super bowls in my adolescent years and I was hooked …good days ahead though #salute #Httr
I don't think people realize how good of a receiver Terry Mclaurin Is because he has been stuck in purgatory with bad quarterbacks ever since he got drafted. Terry Mclaurin In my opinion is a top 13 receiver at the very least in the league.
I'm hoping we're out of the tunnel. I actually had to stop following them those last 3-4 years of the Snyder era. Because of the disgusting things that happened under his watch. Probably would've kept following if it was just the play but both was awful time and was just thinking why am i still watching them. Happy to wear my Washington gear without feeling gross.
Missed Jordan Magee and JJB on the draft section. Magee is one of my favorite picks, with Jamin and Luvu running around I have high hopes for Jordan being able to sit behind Wagner and really get a hold on fixing his tackling problems. If he does he could quickly become the best lb from this class, what an athlete
The latest episode of Commanders Log, the team's own documentary series in the same vein as Hard Knocks, showed Josh Harris, Adam Peters and Dan Quinn working very closely in the draft process, and it gave me a lot of hope to see the guys at the top being actually in lockstep after years of just... absolute horror under Voldemort. Jayden Daniels was the obvious choice at No. 2 overall, but the question was how they would maximize their Day 2 capital, and boy did they nail the process. AP was steadfast against Howie Roseman's attempts to fleece him in their trade, and the additional picks netted them a top-notch nickel in Sainristil (AP had a funny moment where he pranked DQ into thinking that he was taken by the Bengals, which aggravated him to the point where you could tell he really wanted the kid) as well as a TE whom the Chiefs were really interested in... oh, and all AFTER they got Johnny Newton!
I couldn't bring myself to follow the team anymore because of Voldemort, but after he sold the team, I have real excitement for their future. I don't think they'll get a winning record next year, let alone make the playoffs, because the O-line is going to suck against formidable pass rushes in the division and Jayden will have growing pains similar to Joe Burrow, hopefully without the injuries. But this rebuild will take time and I have faith that it will pay off. HTTC
That is where the hope comes in. When Snyder isn't infecting his 'suck' from the top-down as the roster is retooling. Its the Panthers fans who have to deal with the #1 shitbag owner of the NFL issue now.
Joe Whitt Jr is calling plays for Dan Quinn, joined him from Dallas
43:15 “I’m well-versed in Kollmann/Coleman slander” had me rolling
As a Commanders fan some thoughts:
1. I think Brett is right that Quan Martin might get first shot at Free Safety.
2. If Brandon Coleman cannot cut it at Tackle, he should be able to move in to Guard.
3. Don't know if it was intentional but the rookie graphic skipped over Jordan Magee.
Key OTA's and Minicamp takeaways:
1. Jayden impressed coaches with how he prepares for practice.
2. Bobby Wagner and Zach Ertz have leadership roles.
3. The rookies looked decent for the most part
4. Quan Martin got the most love from the coaches of the secondary players
5. The Commanders cut their kicker due to sexual assault allegations and that position remains in flux.
Im happy for Washington fans, such a storied franchise. Gotta know after getting rid of Snyder that it would take some time to rebuild. Cant wait to see what happens. We love Montez Sweat, its gonna work out for both teams.
Joe Witt is calling the defense. I see 649 comments, if it’s already been answered before, forgive me I’m not reading all those 😅. We also got a LOT of better options at SS that DFo! DFo hasn’t even been starting in camp, it’s been Jeremy Chinn. WAY better than DFo, he was runner up for D Rookie of the year. Who is ANTHONY Gibson?😅
the only one that hurts as a part time commanders fan is Kam Curl. I have his jersey he was a super late pick who blossomed into a very good player. I get they didn’t wanna pay him but I feel like he would have fit the Markquese Bell role Chinn’s gonna end up playing perfectly. He’ll do great on the Rams for sure.
Thanks boys
Joe Whitt jr is calling the defense based on what Dan and Joe both said. I'm sure it has Dan's influence on it but it's Joe's show.
Absolutely love all the advanced stats I learn about in this series
I'd say most DC fans believe Coleman will be the guy. Maybe not off rip but he's showing.
And these two guys are laughing at that nonsense.
@@Craighomoffman Cool that you’re comfortable with your sexuality. Takes a pair to admit you like talking a trip down the ole dirt road. “Oh they have a podcast. They must be experts on a team 3000 miles from them” Lol what a tool
at 36:00 - and that list of losses doesn't even include the in-season trade loss of two of their best players (Montez Sweat and Chase Young).
Chase was NEVER one of our best
This was a great watch! Thank you @bootlegfootball . As a fan, we are up and onward. They say it’s not all about the destination, it’s the journey that got us there!
I'm not a commanders fan, but I'll do my best solely for Sainristil's sake. Dude is gonna light the league on fire
David blough's a coach already 😭I'm not that old
Joe Whitt is the Defensive Coordinator and play caller!
Joe Witt is going to be handling the play calling duties
20:47 David Blough worked with Kliff in Arizona in 2022
As a longtime fan it is hard to describe the shock I felt when they signed Bobby Wagner. In a good way.
Hope... thats your first mistake
shush
There is naur haurp
You sound like you have ptsd lol so sad move onto the future not living about the past
was sitting here waiting LOL
Curl was a good up-and-coming player. His value was obvious when he got injured mid-season 2022, nobody took over the reins from him and WFT fell flat on their face. I was at the Sunday night game which decided the wildcard spot against NYG and it was miserable.I'm excited for Forrest to come back. He's one hell of a ball-hawk
how do you guys think the commanders d-line fits with the seattle 4-3 hybrid?
It will be nice to actually enjoy a WHOLE game instead of it being over at halftime every single game
Thank you Brett. i feel less insane about my 20% Sinnot at 175ish adp now. All hail Kingsbury!
Feels like the changes were needed, but it'll take some time to bed in so don't expect immediate success, it should be a long term build.
Commanders should trade for Aiyuk.
BTW, most of the new is because the previous regime couldn't really do new deals with the current players, mainly because of the sale, so there were a lot of guys who ended up being FAs. When you are as bad as they were last year, you don't expect to resign very many of those players. There weren't too many players who were outright released, and generally the ones that were were pretty obvious.
Are you guys not doing division wrap ups this year?
The secondary will be vastly improved. We don't have a high school coach any more.
To me, I think this season we will probably be a 6-8 win team. We will be a team to beat teams we shouldn’t and lose to teams we shouldn’t. I think next offseason is where we are really looking for bigger names kinda like what the Texans did they went from just filling the roster with solid to good players to going for superstars and I think AP will take a similar approach.
Curl didn't fit the scheme. Not fast enough and just didn't make turnovers or GCP's.
I’m ready for the giants episode
So glad I don't have to wait till August for the NFC east
W video frrr
From Dan Quinn and Joe Whitt’s first press conferences, Joe Whitt will be calling the defensive plays.
Interesting to hear
A lot of Pittsburgh influence as well as Seattle.
I feel absolutely confident that Daniels can throw more than 4tds to scary Terry unlike anybody else that's thrown to him
Finally 😃
I’m just shocked they weren’t better with Eric Bienemy. Really thought he was that guy.
This teams coaching staff makes me feel so old
All these retired linebackers all make such great coaches
Well they definitely have the best song! Right hand up ! Lmao
They tried to get back in the 1st but no one would deal
As far as I know, Joe Whitt is running the defense and making the calls. No sign it is otherwise. I would expect with a guy like Chinn on the team (and working Davis with his hand down in minicamp) and the ends not being the strongest of pass rushers, I'm going to think there will be more blitzing.
Don’t do it. Please don’t give me hope.
Kerrigan getting told his players watched him play growing up is gonna hit him like a ton of bricks 💀💀💀
I think the Redskins need to revamp their defense for this division. They got rid of their pass rushers for pennies on the dollar and this will set them back an extra season. Some offensive additions are nice, but defense still wins games
They have to a certain extent. Bringing in Chinn, Luvu and Wagner brings some much needed help up the middle. The main thing the coaches need to figure out is, how many of these young players they have on this defense are actually good, and how many are not? Given the poor coaching job last year, it is hard to tell.
Chase young really wasn’t that great for us after the injury and Montez sweat ended up netting a 40th overall after 4.5 years on the team and never cracking a 10 sack plus year. Not worth paying him that when we are still rebuilding and need the flexibility of cap room.
We also need to revamp, CB, OL, and QB. You can’t plug every hole in one draft unless you have an insanely talented player who you can trade or a high draft pick with no need for a QB. Unfortunately we didn’t have either so we went QB, BPA, slot CB (a need), TE (a need), and a tackle (a need)
@@FuzzehBear101 Trading Montez hurts, but getting a high second gives the potential to replace him. We will see if Johnny Newton can have that kind of impact.
I like their D-line for pressure though its built from the interior. Fowler, Armstrong have worked with Quinn's defense in the past. Vets along with some new faces can make for a solid rotational pass rush for this season while trying to luck on a potential starter. What I'm more concerned with defense wise is when Quinn meets McVay/Shanny type offenses who have historically lit up his defenses in the past. Hopefully DC Joe Whitt provides better answers. Talent wise I think they can play their division rivals well.
@FuzzehBear101 sweat completely transformed the bears defense he was worth way more than the 40th also DEs don’t grow on trees like that
joe whitt jr is calling the defense, quinn said it in the press conference when whitt was hired
As a jets fan feel way too good about this Washington team
Seeing the losses made me realize the Washington commanders have taken another Seahawks linebacker in short succession
Joe Whitt and Dan will create the defense together and have been throughout the offseason but DQ said in his opening press conference that Joe Whitt would be calling plays. I don’t think Joe would be here if he wasn’t calling plays tbh.
I'm actually optimistic about the commanders going forward. I think Kliff will make sure Jayden looks good and Dan Quinn will at least have that defense top 10
For sure I don’t think DQ is a superstar coach he’s not one of the very best but he’s solid he’s reliable he’s a great defensive teacher and he can provide that adult leadership to a franchise that hasn’t had much of that. We all remember him being the coach of the falcons during 28-3 but he did get them there in the first place. Dude can really coach ball.
Translation: Yay there is a solid defensive head coach but a bridge coach to go along with a collegey offensive coach who isn't anything special and a quarterback with a unique nice athletic skillset but was the third best qb prospect in the class taken at 2 because he fits what the collegey coach wants
I'm still out on Kliff as an effective offensive designer/play caller. DQ giving play calling tasks to his coordinators and letting him focus on the game management/weekly game plan stuff seems like he's learned from league HC hires in previous years. We will see if DQ has the ability to also develop around the margins to help shore up the Commies weaknesses around the roster. At the very least that is what the new owner in Josh Harris should expect.
Idk how but I always seem to find you in comment sections of football yt videos, to the point that I started to catch on lol
@@Alexdabot90 hey I'm busy
4:02 i don't think this is a "mystery" team...
Really hope Daniels doesn't go out and take hits like he did in college.
LFG bootlegs dropping
As a Lions fan, I can speak to the teams that feel/look on an upward vs downward trajectory. A lot of it begins with who is in the office and on coaching staff. The commanders feel like one of those teams moving upward.
Joe Whitt is calling plays
we neeeeed nfc north next
400 views in 20 min. Fell off. Jk. Love the podcast. Can’t wait for you guys to tell me my cowboys are gonna win the superbowl. Just kidding we could literally win 5-13 games this season
Let’s just hope this coaching staff doesn’t follow what Reich did to the Panthers
Hoping for good news about dotson😭
didn't they say commanders had real hope last year?
Same title as last year 😅
Rome wasn't built in a day.
I think most people who don’t like this draft don’t hate the players but the process. They didn’t address EDGE at all and only threw a dart at a tackle. When you have as many holes as you guys mentioned an injury risk DT, a slot corner and a TE are luxury picks that they can’t afford.
Don’t forget they also drafted a stick at qb who’s best asset is his legs.
There’s no such thing as a luxury pick when you need help at almost every position on the roster. You can’t fix it all in one go, but they’re off to a great start imo. Edge was addressed in FA. I’m much more worried about both tackle positions
Kinda the same issue with another team in the opposite coast with the Chargers roster. They have the QB but they need talent proven everywhere else (outside of offensive tackles).
@@JJ-zr6fu Jayden can absolutely throw lmao. And it's not just because of the receivers he had.
There were holes everywhere and they didn't have the draft capital to address them all. Who were they going to get at edge after Darius Robinson was off the board? This rebuild will take time, and I think they got some crucial pieces to lay a foundation. Also slot corner can be a crucial piece when there are still some questions in linebacker, even though that group has been improved quite a bit, and especially in secondary.
Drop the RAIDERS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Felt the commanders reached on, Sainrisitil, Brandon Coleman, and Luke McCaffery even if none of them are bad players.
These guys are all over the place. 'It worked in Dallas because there was talent there" The talent that was the worst defense in the NFL the year before? Worst to first? So L on that take. Don't know whos calling the plays? L for no homework.
We were top 10 the year before; last year was shocking to say the least; I think the players gave up on Ron honestly and our linebackers are 1000 times better this year so I don’t see 32 in run defense top 15 I think 🤞🏿
Here I'll say it for you. Same institution old institution Washington Redskins say it with me again. Washington Redskins it's not that hard to say
The new owner is obviously better than Snyder but I don't think that things are going to get that much better. There was a reason that the better coaching candidates didnt want to go there. Peters may be a good GM but I thought that they wud be better off keeping Howell and trading back to get more picks. I thought Howell had a descent year considering what was around him and it was pretty much his "rookie" year with a new OC and the one of the worst o lines in the league. I think Howell will become the starter in Seattle if Geno gets hurt or they wont have a top pick when Geno leaves. The picks wernt horrible but when a team has this many holes i thought they should have taken more risk in the later rounds cuz its cool if u miss with later picks cuz u can sign a guy with 6th round talent for cheap. Also they signed Brandon McManus and im really surprised they didnt find out about the allegations before they signed him cuz teams should have someone who is plugged into what is happening with players or at least called the Jags. I do like Jayden Daniels but him being able to throw slot fades duznt mean much to me cuz the slot fade is Gardner Minshews best weapon also. I think Jayden is going to make plays but I just dont see Quinn leading this team anywhere cuz he duznt have Kyle Shannahan calling the offense
Please review my eagles next 🙏 I genuinely think they will win the superbowl this year
A lot of deja vu. The Commanders coaching staff feels a lot like the Panthers last year. Jayden Daniels feels a lot like Justin Fields. Bad omens.
kliff sets the ceiling super low for the commanders, kliff has to be the worst leader of men and he cant adjust good at all. if the defence figures kliff out, jaden better be able to play "hero ball". commanders will be picking in the top 8 next year, not a doubt in my mind
Sour grapes still? Offense has never been his problem.
@@JJ-zr6fu kliffs offense is so predictable, I've watched every snap of kliffs stint in Arizona. Even as a fan, I was able to predict kliffs plays, just based on the formation. Washington fans have to suffering massive delusion if they think kliff is the solution. Kliff already was basically the offensive coordinator in Arizona, just with head coach responsibilities. There's no way kliff learned anything to be a better playcaller as a "senior offensive analyst" at usc in 2023.
Is it just me or does anyone else’s head hurt with all the stats the guys talk about? I know analytics and numbers are part of the game and discussing them matters but it just gets to be like a avalanche of data points: QBS, Bootleg Power Score, EPA, DVOA its a lot to digest. I consider myself a pretty avid football fan and I get whiplash trying to follow it all. Sometimes I wish they’d just talk ball in normal terms instead of always using the complex formulas.
Basic surface level stats don't paint the full picture. It's easy to look at basic things like completion%, but that won't give you context like adot will
Def just u. Want surface level content espn is always available
Not trying to be mean, but there are tons of other pods or channels that talk basic ball, these guys love advance stats, and most of their following loves advanced stats.
I can understand where you are coming from. I personally like the advanced stats because it paints a more full picture of what’s really going on. You get to see the world of football through the eyes of coaches and GMs. Yeah its alot, but thats what makes it exciting for me. They take the incredibly mind numbing complexity of modern football and break it down into palatable stats. The stats are like vegetables, as a kid you hated them , but as you got older you started to appreciate them and even enjoy them. That said I can appreciate where you are coming from, it can be daunting at times.
I know the point of this channel is to go into the fine details. Brett spent over 5 minutes explaining EPA per play to explain why the Bills were a statistical anomaly in a video on his channel. I think this series would benefit from a stand alone video explaining the advanced metrics so casual/new fans can understand. This channel is for die hard fans, but gate keeping won't grow the channel.
This is why I don’t like fantasy. Daniels and fields are bottom tier qbs but people thing they’re better because their rushing yards count more than their passing yards in fantasy.
JD5 hasn’t played a down in the NFL yet what the hell are you talking about?
Boooo talk about the afc north
