Wentz Needs to Utilize His Tight Ends | Washington Commanders

By Adam Aniba Washington's four tight ends have combined for only 446 receiving yards in '22. The veteran of the group, Logan Thomas leads the team with 251 yards and 1 TD (12 games), John Bates 108 1 TD (14 games), and rookies Cole Turner/Armani Rogers have combined for 87 yards and zero touchdowns. Those numbers are unacceptable, considering the Commanders offensive line has struggled in pass protection and tight ends can be a safety blanket, when the pass rush bears down.

Bagent is a Prospect to Keep an Eye on During the Senior Bowl | NFL DRAFT '23

By Adam Aniba This year's quarterback class is headlined by prospects from Alabama, Ohio State and Kentucky, but one particular DII signal caller deserves a look as well. Shepherd University signal caller Tyson Bagent never missed a start in 5 seasons. The signal caller has the chance to be the first DII QB drafted since 2002 JT O'Sullivan from UC Davis (6th round '02 Saints) and will have NFL scouts attention during the upcoming Senior Bowl. Tyson Bagent 6'2" 213 lbs | QB |

Pushback From The Hogs Ahead of Mascot Unveiling | Washington Commanders

By Adam Aniba This Sunday Washington is preparing to unveil their new mascot, after fan voting takes place with the choices being "HOGS" and "DOGS".

O-Line Entertainment filed for "Hogs" and "Original Hogs" this past summer with the US Patent an

Porter Jr. Has the Length to Be Disruptive on the Outside | NFL DRAFT '23

By Adam Aniba This year's cornerback draft class features a diverse set of prospects. Penn State University's Joey Porter Jr might be the most intriguing though. Cornerbacks with his combination of speed/length are a premium in the NFL and highly coveted.

Former All-Pros Buying into Heinicke and the Team's Ceiling | Washington Commander

By Adam Aniba Although Commanders QB Taylor Heinicke had 2 lost fumbles in the pivotal loss vs New York, he still managed to keep his team in the game until the end. The bogus penalty on Terry McLaurin, which took Brian Robinson's TD off the board was a back breaker and the obvious no-calls were just too much to over come in the end. There is no question that Washington could help Heinicke's cause by feeding Robinson and Gibson the ball more often, especially in the red zone.

Getting the Ball in Robinson's Hands and Analyzing Turner's Comments | Washington Commanders

By Adam Aniba The loss to the New York Giants left a sour taste in the mouth of Washington fans, particularly the head scratching calls made by the officiating team. In the end, the Commanders still had an opportunity to win the game, but OC Scott Turner doesn't seem to be embracing the same philosophy that Rivera has. The head coach has been adamant, his vision is for the offense to have a Power Run philosophy. Despite averaging over 7.0 yards per carry with a pile moving fi

The final injury report of the week, listed BSJ as questionable for the pivotal Sunday Night Football matchup vs the Giants. Although the cornerback was listed as a limited practice participant all week, seeing him running drills on Thursday was a big step for the cornerback to play this Sunday. The storyline in

Linebacker Aubrey Miller Jr Has Been Dominant | NFL DRAFT '23

By Adam Aniba This year's draft class features some top notch playmaking linebackers, but Jackson State University linebacker Aubrey Miller Jr might be one of the most intriguing. Miller Jr boasts SEC experience, playing three seasons at Missouri before transferring to JSU for the '21 spring season. Under the tutelage of HC and Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, Miller Jr had a productive two seasons with a breakout year in '22. "Aubrey is one of the guys that we hang our

By Adam Aniba Although Washington was in their bye week, their chances of making the playoffs just increased rom 69% to 74% with both the Giants and Seahawks losing.

Turner Needs to Adjust to Heinicke's Strengths | Washington Football

By Adam Aniba The 20-20 tie to the New York Giants left a bitter taste in the mouths of many fans and they voiced their displeasure with the overtime rule on social media. Prior to the matchup, Taylor Heinicke admitted that he needed to make more plays with his feet. Although he threw for 275 yards and 2 TDs in New York, his 6.7 yard per pass average is indicative of his limitations against a strong/aggressive pass rush. He had multiple occasions against the Giants to pick up

Curl Continues to Display His Value and Versatility | Washington Commanders

By Adam Aniba During Washington's 6-1 run, the defense has been opportunistic with timely forced turnovers. None was bigger than Kendall Fuller's red zone interception in the win vs Atlanta with under a minute left in regulation. Although Fuller has had an up and down season, safety Kamren Curl has been the leader of the defensive backfield. The former '20 7th round pick hasn't recorded an interception this season, Pro Football Focus ranks Curl as the NFL's #1 rated safety wi
