Washington Commanders

The Giants have built a very strong defensive line that can rival any defensive line unit in the NFL. Dexter Lawrence is one of the premier defensive tackles in the league, while they also have a stable of edge rushers that all come with significant threats. Brian Burns is one of the more consistent sack artists in the NFL and is the big name on the edge for them, but they also have two younger pass rushers that shouldn’t be overlooked.

It’s week 1 of the NFL season, and Washington Commanders will be facing the New York Giants at Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD this Sunday at 1:00 pm EDT. In 2024, the Commanders went 12-5 and competed in the NFC Championship game, while the Giants went 3-14 and earned the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, yet the Commanders didn’t beat the Giants by more than a single score in either of their two 2024 matchups. With an offseason to heal and improve, this Giants team could be significantly better than last year’s team.
On offense, New York’s...

Adam Peters’ retool of Washington’s offensive line has been widely discussed this offseason, as the addition of Laremy Tunsil and Josh Conerly, along with the transition of Brandon Coleman to guard, represent a significant upgrade to the protection of franchise quarterback Jayden Daniels. Less discussed is how these athletic additions enable Kliff Kingsbury and Anthony Lynn to execute their preferred run schemes and their commitment to improving the run game this season. This may seem like an odd goal considering the Commanders offense ranked third in rushing in 2024 and did not spend significant resources in either free agency or...

The 2025 season kicks off with an NFC East battle between the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and the visiting Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles are 8.5 point favorites at home, and will have more Cowboys players watching their banner ceremony than Eagles players/coaches if you believe Nick Sirianni and CeeDee Lamb. This is a big game for both teams, and could be an early indicator of where the division is heading. On Sunday the Washington Commanders host the New York Giants in another Week 1 NFC East showdown. The Commanders and Eagles are expected to battle it out again...

The Washington Commanders are preparing to host the New York Giants on Sunday. They had six players on their injury report yesterday, but that number lowered by one after today’s practice. Zach Ertz had a vet rest day yesterday, a common theme for the soon-to-be 35-year old tight end. K Matt Gay was listed with an illness yesterday, but was a full participant in both practices this week.
Three players were limited for a second day in a row. Dorance Armstrong is the top DE on the roster and has been limited with a knee injury this week. CB Jonathan...

The Washington Commanders are back on the practice fields today as they prepare for the season opener, a home game against the New York Giants. Head coach Dan Quinn spoke to reporters yesterday, and today the coordinators stepped behind the mic. Defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr was up first, and he talked about the improvements he’s seen in the defense going into his second year in Washington. Communication has improved, and they’re working on finishing games, which was an issue last year.
Russell Wilson will be starting against the Commanders, but playing for a different team this season. He and...

Each practice day, right around 6 a.m., Jayden Daniels’ phone rings.
Kliff Kingsbury is calling.
The Washington Commanders offensive coordinator is not placing a long-distance call.
Instead, Kingsbury calls his quarterback from the same indoor practice field at the same line of scrimmage. Kingsbury delivers a play-call to Daniels via headphones and awaits quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard snapping the ball in one hand while holding the day’s practice script in his other.
Kingsbury releases off the line of...

With the season opener against the New York Giants just a few days away, it is once again time for my annual Bold Predictions for the upcoming season.
Something is different this year from all previous editions. The Commanders are entering the 2025 season as established playoff contenders. That would have seemed fanciful this time last year, which makes some of last season’s bold predictions look fairly tame in hindsight. It also raises the bar substantially for this season’s predictions.
But I am up to the challenge. Please remember, the emphasis is on boldness, not accuracy.
Before we take on...

Back for a fifth year, Future Hogs is a series of articles that looks at draft-eligible college football players throughout the season that might improve the Washington Commanders. I’ll feature players each week whose play stands out and how they could fit on the Commanders’ roster.
The first week – not counting Week 0 – of college football featured some competitive matchups of heavyweights. The top-ranked team preseason, Texas, took on last year’s champion, #3 ranked Ohio State, in a defensive struggle. In the end, the Buckeyes prevailed and claimed the top spot from the Longhorns. LSU and Clemson featured...

Jayden Daniels
2024 Comment: I’m thrilled! I think Daniels is the real deal and that no other potential quarterback could have been a better fit for this team at this time. I’m looking forward to many years of leadership and great play from our new starting QB.
2025: There is literally no NFL quarterback that I would rather have than Jayden Daniels. We’ve all seen his greatest on-field attribute — poise under pressure — and heard about his greatest off-the-field attributes of hard work and relentless preparation. He’s about to...
