Re Daniel Snyder not showing up to testify in Congress, even virtually: he's do what owners do; leaving it to Roger.
Goodell will once again protect/defend and take bullets for owners. Increasing part of job description, serving his constituents well and paid handsomely for it.

Norwell, Turner, and Schweitzer have a combined 12 years of experience under Rivera/Matsko.

The @Commanders D-Line showing up is more important than which Carson Wentz shows up. 4 1ST ROUND PICKS on the defensive front has to equal DOMINANCE. Stop fighting on the sidelines and start FIGHTING IN THE TRENCHES. Stop the run. Own the line of scrimmage and create havoc.

Washington did well with USFL players though:
Gary Clark
Ricky Sanders
Kelvin Bryant
Doug Williams
