The Washington Commanders had fans back at training camp for Military Appreciation Day. The last few practices have been closed, and they got to watch a good day from the offense. Sam Howell was hitting his targets, and Jacoby Brissett had a run so nice the defense was even impressed.
The fans are back and it's GAME WEEK! | Command Center: Camp Coverage LIVE presented by @orthovirginia https://t.co/br2fQP0K61

Big-hitting day:
I’d also guess that todays padded prax, scheduled for 2.5 hours, is about the peak of inter-squad hitting. Once Commanders players start preseason games/joint practices, outlook will prob change. Not as focused internally on pace/length of prax, focused on roster cuts and Week 1

LG competition:
Chris Paul continues to work at LG with the 1s during the 11-11s. Saahdiq Charles worked with the 1s in individual.

Chase Young:
And he’s been working in full team drills

Sam Howell with a perfect ball to McLaurin down the right side. About 30 yards. Holmes with solid coverage. But… a dime.

Sam Howell —-> Jonathan Williams:
Would’ve been a sack but great catch by Jonathan Williams #HTTC pic.twitter.com/VVWI3j9eQd
— Mason Kinnahan (@Mason_Kinnahan) August 8, 2023
Really nice catch by Jonathan Williams on a pass from Howell, who rolled out to his right. Davis was the defender on the play
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 8, 2023
1st-team offense:
First offense just jogged off the field: five runs, three passes - all completions from Howell
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 8, 2023
Sam Cosmi vs Jamin Davis:
Sam Cosmi did a nice job of creating a hole for BRob with a pull block on Jamin Davis
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 8, 2023
Jonathan Allen vs Chris Paul:
Starting defense ends red zone period with a sack on Howell. Jon Allen managed to beat Paul on the inside to crash the pocket

Sam Howell —-> Jahan Dotson:

— Calvin Kaplan (@Calvin_SGF) August 8, 2023
Howell caps his series off with a TD pass to Dotson. Had to put a little extra air on the ball to get it over the defensive line
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 8, 2023
QB reps:
Howell took some 2nd team snaps as well...then mixed back in with the 1's. Don't read too much into it. #Commanders
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) August 8, 2023
OL coach Travelle Wharton:
Offensive line Travelle Wharton has a back injury and isn’t at practice.

Montez Sweat is just murdering linemen on one-on-ones.

Montez Sweat is out here doing his thing. Just blew up a running play with Gore as the carrier
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 8, 2023
CB competition:
I don’t know how many corners this team is going to keep, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Rachad Wildgoose is one of them. It’ll be interesting to see if it comes down to him vs. Danny Johnson.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 8, 2023
Cole Turner:

Another really nice grab from Cole Turner, who made a toe tapping reception near the end zone.
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 8, 2023
Jacoby Brissett’s wheels:
In the red zone, Jacoby Brissett outran LB David Mayo to the pylon. Brissett’s speed impressed defenders.
— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) August 8, 2023
Chase Young. “OK, Daunte Culpepper!!”
