Coach Rivera on the mic for training camp

As promised, here is the video on how @JahanDotson tormented me for a few days during my junior year of High School basketball.

Side note: I felt obligated to make this since there are false rumors flying around the office that he dunked on me #HTTC pic.twitter.com/h0uGs9cahj

Surprised we’re seeing that look again. Don’t have the depth to run it like they did last year. At least, not without kicking guys like JSW, Wise, WBK inside to one of the 3Ts

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 1, 2022

Yes, but more in rush situations. Washington mainly used this look in run situations

Ron Rivera said there was some concern Curtis Samuel's football conditioning after not playing much last year, which factors into managing his workload: "You have to be smart with it. We're going to stick to the plan."

"It has nothing to do with last year's groin injury."

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 1, 2022

"We're gonna stick to the plan."

Washington is hilarious bro lol they’re doing everything in their power to save face with Curtis Samuel.

Ryan Kerrigan is back on the sideline at Commanders practice, standing with the defense during team drills.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 1, 2022

Ron Rivera said Ryan Kerrigan will stick around for the next couple weeks so he can truly gauge whether coaching is right for him. He wants to give him a taste of the grind.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 1, 2022

Coach Ryan Kerrigan?

We like the sound of that pic.twitter.com/JJW0GbRfUj

Jahan Dotson has flown extremely under the radar in comparison to the other early round wideouts.

He’s been outstanding early in camp showcasing everything we thought he’d be out of Penn State. Strong hands, smooth in/out of routes… he plays like he’s 6’5”.

Today's practice recap is up ⤵️

— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) August 1, 2022

Talked with Darrick Forrest today, who's impressed me with what he's doing at safety. Asked him what's been working. He said: "I'm developing my mind. I'm starting to understand what to look for once I look at the formation... My eyes are getting better and it's helping my brain"

The #Cowboys are concerned that WR James Washington suffered a Jones fracture in his foot today. He was carted off of the field, per @AdamSchefter. pic.twitter.com/0SKFVpazzP

So, is Washington the best tackling defense against the run, but only average at getting to the runner?

The #AZCardinals seemingly caved to public criticism and took out the "independent study" clause in QB Kyler Murray's contract.

From @GMFB: #Browns QB Deshaun Watson received his long-awaited ruling, receiving a 6 game suspension. pic.twitter.com/DSzd0VtWF4

The NFL could appeal DeShaun Watson’s six-game suspension, but there are some scenarios to take into account before taking such action. From Inside Training Camp @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/yMXciNPpR9

— Steve Wyche (@wyche89) August 1, 2022

Few things on Sue Robinson's 15-page conclusion on Deshaun Watson ...

• Based on 4 cases brought by the NFL. 5th case was thrown out bc the NFL didn't interview the woman.

• NFL interviewed total of 12 women.

• SR criticized NFL for making calls based on public perception.

— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) August 1, 2022

Watson used money from the Texans and Browns to settle lawsuits brought by 24 (and counting) women he sought out for "massage."
And now will suffer only $350,000 financial loss (on a $230 million contract) for his actions.
There's something, well, icky about all of this.

— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) August 1, 2022

Claiming Deshaun Watson was suspended last year misses the point that he didn't lose a penny in '21.

He was already holding out, threatening not to play. Got paid to stay away during covid-complicated year for a team he vowed never to play for while it went 4-13. Big punishment.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) August 1, 2022

The fact that his behavior was bad enough to ban a grown man from getting his own massages, yet the suspension wasn’t significant is truly, truly mind-bending. https://t.co/IDd323cz95

Thoughts on Deshaun Watson and 6 games pic.twitter.com/GBLoa7V7kY

— Kyle Brandt (@KyleBrandt) August 1, 2022

Respect for this new discipline process wouldn't stop the NFL from appealing. The appeal to Goodell *is* the process. Either the NFL didn't truly want Watson gone for 2022 or he'll still wind up out this season. I'd guess the latter.

— Gregg Rosenthal (@greggrosenthal) August 1, 2022

the bargained-for process negotiated the terms of how the appeal works at length. goodell has final say if wrongdoing found. that is the process.

— Gregg Rosenthal (@greggrosenthal) August 1, 2022

Thought I had posted on this but I guess I just did a podcast on it. Anyway here is the relevant section on suspensions due to conduct pic.twitter.com/BNLKoBTJFe

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) August 1, 2022

Read footnote 51: The NFL’s unequal treatment of owners “who have been accused of similar or worse” but faced zero consequences compared to players clearly swayed the judge. https://t.co/FrffmDJ0Ow

— Don Van Natta Jr. (@DVNJr) August 1, 2022

So many thoughts on this initial six-game suspension for Deshaun Watson. It’s crazy for the arbiter to say his conduct was “egregious” and then give him such a soft punishment. This was a fail in her first significant ruling, and the league should appeal it.

— Jim Trotter (@JimTrotter_NFL) August 1, 2022

If the league doesn’t appeal, I never want to hear it talk about the importance of mental health; because there is no way to watch the Ashley Solis interview on “Real Sports” and argue that she did not suffer psychological trauma from her experience with Watson.

The top is the statement just released by the Haslams. The bottom is from Sue Robinson's findings. Hmmmm.... pic.twitter.com/0Azubgnq26

This is seriously the statement they went with? "We...understand that there have been many individuals triggered throughout this process.” The women he sexually assaulted? The people upset he sexually assaults women? Those who can't believe Cle protected his money despite this? https://t.co/zpNeWSibHI

I got suspended for a whole year from the NFL for weed.. but sexual misconduct gets you 6 games.. make it make sense
