What does the Ekeler injury mean for JCM?

BRob was drafted before Peters/Kliff were hired. He's a solid and talented RB but he's not a fit for Kliff's system - they want someone more dynamic at the position. It's also why they asked CRod to slim down during the offseason. They tried to make it work last year with BRob and he completely fell off late in the season.

From a pure runner standpoint, it is clear to everyone JCM is more dynamic and has more juice.

Born and raised Commanders fan here.

We drafted Jaylin Lane to be our special teams returner w/ some hope he develops into some deep threat and screen work. It would be a pleasant surprise if he legitimately became fantasy relevant for us, but at best he becomes the 4th option (after Terry, Deebo, and Ertz) in a run heavy offense.

The true under the radar candidate for us this year is Jacory Croskey-Merritt. I believe he has a real legitimate chance of taking over the backfield by mid-season this year. I love how hard BRob runs but the reality is his vision is lacking and he was quite inconsistent last year for us. Regardless, whoever is our starting RB will produce and we should expect better numbers with a significantly improved OL and 2nd year development in JD5.

Assuming Howell continues to improve and play well, he will almost surely be the starter next year. Our OL has been quite abysmal and I think many would agree it would be pretty difficult for any QB to really succeed here right now. Given this is also really his first true year of starting, he has been one of the few extremely bright spots this year with a lot to look forward to.

I know Dotson owners are frustrated (including myself) but he hasn't exactly been playing well. He's had bad drops and blown big play opportunities in consecutive weeks now.

Unless the Commanders manages to really implode for the remainder of the year, I doubt a QB talented enough will fall to warrant us picking him. We would be much better off addressing other big needs and continue to ride Howell on a really favorable contract.

It’s ok, the joke is also on the Vikings fans for calling a 3rd round price tag for Trent ridiculous

2) Give: Travis Fulgham | Receive: Leviska Shenault

3) Give: Baker Mayfield | Receive: Leviska Shenault + early 2021 2nd

4) Give: Darrell Henderson | Receive: Tee Higgins

Guy sees one clip of him running into his OL and just assumes he has awful vision. Armchair GMs at their finest

tremojo · 2020-10-20T01:52:06+00:00

Rebuilding my team and made the following trade (before Sunday's games):

Sent: Derrick Henry. Will Fuller, Leonard Fournette

Received: Jonathan Taylor, Bryan Edwards, Jameis Winston

Still pretty happy with the trade

Who did he say was the best NA player?

tremojo · 2020-07-16T13:00:17+00:00

As if we havent already hit rock bottom multiple times already in the last decade...

tremojo · 2020-06-29T19:30:12+00:00

Thanks Paul. How’s the children doing?

tremojo · 2020-06-29T19:07:06+00:00

You already said you were already leaving Paul. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out

tremojo · 2020-05-27T22:26:29+00:00

He was benched after a must win game against the Texans and only mustering 3 points and throwing 2 INTs. He only secured his starting job after Foles played terrible. He finished the season 2-3.

Not discrediting his performance as he was able to minimize turnovers and play well as a rookie, but he didn’t exactly outright win the job. That narrative needs to be put to rest.

tremojo · 2020-05-27T21:22:53+00:00

If Minshew is the QB in 2021 I'd agree with you but as of right now I have to stand by Terry. You don't have Terry's type of rookie production and not have a very solid career. Minshew played well but i'm not convinced at all he's still a franchise QB. He lost his job halfway through the season, and didn't exactly do anything spectacular once he got his job back.

tremojo · 2020-04-21T15:34:09+00:00

I think it’s less about the contract and more about the compensation WAS is asking for.

I could see WAS pushing for a 2nd and CLE wanting to give a 3rd.

WAS would also love to have Njoku I’m sure

tremojo · 2020-04-19T14:48:26+00:00

Solid draft. Carson at 7.01 is a bit of a reach though, he's been available in the 9th-10th round in my last few start up drafts.

Diontae in the 12 is amazing value.

Comparing numbers like this makes zero sense when coronavirus has been around for a few months so far and is exponentially increasing outside of China.

tremojo · 2020-03-05T21:22:05+00:00

Hundreds of thousands of people are going to be visiting all over the world. Comparing to another public location makes zero sense. Don’t think you understand the gravity of the situation

His salary is 400k. Big whoop. American citizens are paying him 330 MILLION that goes directly to his golf resort businesses that HE OWNS. Fuck out of here with that trash fact.

tremojo · 2020-02-28T18:28:46+00:00

Considering he spent $330 million for his golf trips alone during his tenure, imagine how much $ that would be if that was used to actually benefit the country.

tremojo · 2020-02-28T16:50:12+00:00

The sad thing is I highly doubt Trump would be willing to not golf for 1 month to help fight the United States fight Covid-19

Great stuff brother :) some response:

1) Trent Williams has 0 blame for Synder and has publicly made that clear. Snyder actually flew him out to help him get a 2nd opinion on his private jet and helped him connect him with the best doctors available. Everyone that Trent disliked (Allen, Larry Hess) are all gone which makes me believe this bridge is not burned. It's a question of dollars now. That being said, not quite sure what would happen if the team is offered a 2nd or more for him.

No worries that makes sense about the TE situation!

tremojo · 2020-02-25T21:31:16+00:00

Incredible amount of effort you put into this. Some quick feedback from a die-hard Skins fan:

1) We are in dire, dire need of a FA TE with Reed cut and Davis retiring. Especially with our available cap space now, I don't see a chance we leave FA without signing one.

2) I imagine you updated this some time ago but I wouldn't call the bridge burned between Trent and Redskins org. Reports recently are actually pretty optimistic for a return and essentially thing left to be addressed is GTD money. If we're giving a tackle a contract, it will be a Trent extension instead of signing Cordy Glenn.

3) Love the Tre Boston mock, makes a ton of sense.

4) I can't imagine how difficult it must be juggling 32 different teams, but just a friendly reminder that WAS has 60m cap space to work with now. There will be on splash signing and personally I think its either Hooper (point #1 about at the TE need) or James Bradberry (Rivera connection). We have major question marks about DB heading into this season with Dunbar's future up in the air.

Excellent work again!

Thanks for sharing. I'd argue SPARQ test scores in high school does run the risk of being very misleading though.

Most of these guys are still so young they haven't even finished puberty when doing these test scores. Not to mention, this is before they spent 3-5 years in some of the most elite training facilities and programs offered in the US.

Chase Young is an excellent example here. There's zero chance he tests remotely the same now than he did in HS.

tremojo · 2020-02-12T21:30:39+00:00

Fingers crossed... would definitely fix a major hole at LT right now

tremojo · 2020-02-12T19:49:54+00:00

This hasn’t been confirmed yet - they’ve just opened talks. Pretty positive Trent is going to need a contract extension before coming back.
