We have made multiple roster moves:
--Claimed DT John Ridgeway off waivers from Dallas
--Released DT Donovan Jeter

— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) September 19, 2022

Cowboys hoped to re-sign NT John Ridgeway to practice squad this afternoon. But they lost him. Commanders were awarded Ridgeway on waivers. They weren’t the only team to submit a claim on the rookie fifth-round pick from Arkansas either, a person close to situation said.

Are there any #NFLDraft prospects that would fit Washington on the IDL late in the draft?

New Commanders DT John Ridgeway played at Illinois State under HC Brock Spack. Prior to taking the Illinois State job, Spack was the DC at Purdue where he coached current Commanders Assistant DL Coach Ryan Kerrigan

Terry had a 75-yd tuddy on Aidan's 2nd sack, & Wentz saw it the entire way. I think Curtis & Terry's release confused the FS & he bit on CS, leaving Terry with a step or two on Okudah. The sack is unfortunate. Leno played spin well, Cosmi washed AH. Wentz takes a misstep. pic.twitter.com/yYFFmcfUxZ

Ok guys, 3rd & 15, lets rush 6, drop 5 back to the sticks, force the ball out quickly and rally down to make the ta... what just happened? pic.twitter.com/lcPXbjrZxw

Here's Ron Rivera's explanation for what happened on the D'Andre Swift TD in the 3rd quarter: pic.twitter.com/v5CZaZkEkE

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) September 19, 2022

My guess for Rivera’s explanation would be Sweat was meant to peel off on a peel blitz. Davis/Holcomb appeared part of a stunt.

I'm not defending Jamin Davis. Anybody who listens knows I've been skeptical of him being a starting LB since the first time I watched him play.

But it's weird he's the only guy that gets singled out. There are several guys in the back-7 who have struggled dating back to 2021.

This… is something. He is far from the only 1 who warrants criticism. But his growth is pivotal to the D. https://t.co/1F13CEbOVI

You can change defensive coordinators, but you can’t change scheme in a two-hour wednesday practice. They declared their strategy when they opened training camp - gotta make the best of it now.

4. Have Ndamakung Suh on speed dial. They need a plug and play vet that don't need to practice.

Here's the most interesting part of the #Commanders pitiful defense so far through two games...

Last year, on third-down, they were 2nd worst (31st) in #NFL at 48.47% allowed.

This year, they are tied for 5th BEST (4-13 @ Det, 3-12 vs #Jags) at 28% allowed. @Commanders #NFL pic.twitter.com/oJMTZ1UPC7

Benjamin St. Juste was the #Commanders' highest graded regular on defense yesterday, via PFF.

He allowed just one catch on four targets and had a PBU (that was nearly picked). Was in the slot 38 times and played 42 snaps as the team's 3rd CB.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) September 19, 2022

Ron Rivera comes across as fine with Dax Milne taking kicks out of the end zone as long as he uses "discretion." On the one he ran out Sunday, where he got dropped at the 16, Washington wasn't able to account for a Detroit player on the coverage unit. Ron credited the Lions there

Highest graded Commanders players from yesterday's loss:

- Charles Leno Jr.: 76.6
- Benjamin St. Juste: 73.8
- Jahan Dotson: 69.3

Dyami Brown has played a total of FOUR snaps this season.

Looking ahead, very few seats remain for next week's Eagles-Commanders matchup in DC. Mostly standing-room seats and $300 club-level seats left at this point:https://t.co/ej9MEzAwnS

Quick show of hands. Has anyone else noticed that Jim Irsay suddenly shut his pie hole about Carson Wentz?

— Hogonthemountain (@Hogonthemount) September 19, 2022

QBs are going to miss 30% of their throws on their best days. That’s football. Yes, there’s more variance to his game than other QBs. But there’s a lot to be encouraged about so far. Can’t imagine watching this team right now and crying about Wentz.

Here's a slowed down version of what happened between Kyler Murray and a fan after Sunday's game in Las Vegas: Keep an eye out around the 16-second mark.

Great work by @CamCox12 who captured the entire ending on video.

Mike Evans and Marshon Lattimore have gone at it three sperate times over the years.

Evans was suspended one game for what happened in 2017 — so another suspension would not be a surprise.

Here's a video of all three fights.pic.twitter.com/dRiCVN5WhE
