All aTwitter: 19 September 2023 - Rivera relents and brings in long snappers to challenge Cheeseman

Thomas remains in the concussion protocol. Was a pretty damn impressive catch. Not sure anyone else holds onto that ball. https://t.co/fB3NukiXO1

Bills are 9-0 when Josh Allen doesn’t turn the ball over. #Commanders are going to need to force some turnovers on Sunday. #HTTC

Chase Young with a nice rush inside to flush Wilson out of the pocket set up Jamin Davis to show off his range. Davis chases down Wilson and causes a game changing fumble #Commanders pic.twitter.com/emBJoSBLhY

Brian Robinson Jr. in the win at Denver had two 21-yard receptions. His longest reception last season was for 18 yards.

Antonio Gibson in the win at Denver had a 36-yard reception. His longest reception last season was for 26 yards.

The screen game is back. #Commanders

#Commanders finally got the screen game going yesterday. Not perfect, but much improved compared to recent years. This was the Gibson screen. LG Saahdiq Charles did an excellent job getting out in front, Nick Gates made a key block on the "rat kill" to open the lane for Gibson pic.twitter.com/QJ2ofMZsoN

BRob for 27!!! Look at the blocking by Dotson pic.twitter.com/FXNKOeDCxI

Washington averaged 21 yards per catch on these 4 screens. Could have housed a couple. Also would have loved to see what would've happened had Cosmi and Charles not tripped each other up on the last one, but Bieniemy did a great job getting those two in open field for the RBs/TE.… pic.twitter.com/PMp1lViavj

Week 2 snaps:

* Jaha. Dotson (82% of Commanders' 73 offensive plays), Terry McLaurin (74%), Curtis Samuel (62%)

* Brian Robinson (52%) and Antonio Gibson (48%) back to a near 50-50 split.

* Chase Young played 47 of 66 defensive snaps in 2023 debut pic.twitter.com/Yt5LaawakU

Joey Slye’s early missed kick was 100% on the snap and operation. This has been a reoccurring issue for several weeks and it’s now cost WSH points in a game. https://t.co/TLPm1kVEaS

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) September 18, 2023

The Commanders are bringing in long snappers for a workout Tuesday, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed. The tryouts come after Camaron Cheeseman's botched snap in Sunday's game led to a missed kick. Tucker Addington is among those being brought in.

Just throw it away man. Clearly didn't feel Gregory pursuing but I'm also not sure what he saw in the middle of the field for him to pull up like he did. pic.twitter.com/iQ7X2VDsnh

Charles Leno is a competitor, man. Loved his game yesterday. Not that it was elite tape, but he took Ls on a couple of reps but won a lot yesterday, which did not get talked about. Started to be more aggressive in his pass sets as the game went on, jumping a lot vs. 5/0/42,…

I curl up in the fetal position when I think about Micah Parsons lining up over him. May god help us… #HTTC https://t.co/DlgjcPz1MK

I think the interior part of the @Commanders O-line is ok with Gates, Cosmi, and Charles. They are a trio that can and will get better the longer they play together. The edges are where the unit has its struggles. That has to be addressed during the draft/offseason. #NFL #httc

.@Commanders hey hey. Funny how you aren’t hearing any griping and moaning about how demanding EB is on the players after they put up 35 and moved to 2-0!

What was he thinking? just let it go out of bounds.

He did the exact opposite than what he was supposed to do on a kickoff.pic.twitter.com/IPPSXOwdYv

You only got “it was a running start” analysis on the broadcast…I wish they would have better explained how this worked, so allow me…

1. Watch Schooler’s eyes. He’s not timing the snap…he’s timing the *kicker’s sequence*. They should have shown replays of that!!!…you can bet… pic.twitter.com/uJli2EaSyA

Mahomes was originally due $162.3M in those four seasons, for an APY of $40.575.

Now, with this $48.3M raise, the APY over that period goes up to $52.65M, which is greater than all but Joe Burrow.https://t.co/o8XHFttrrY https://t.co/iJZ6551SU0
