Javon Kinlaw has never been shy about saying what’s on his mind, even if there’s a camera bank and hot mics in front of him. The Commanders’ defensive lineman was asked about his new-and-improved position group, and was so passionate about its upgrades that he dropped the quote of the spring (and maybe summer) trying to describe it. Though, to be honest, it’s not suitable for […]

Washington’s receiver need can be easily argued, with the addition of a secondary outside threat opposite Terry McLaurin making the Commanders offense an intimidator. Stefon Diggs and Brandon Aiyuk have been the assumed targets, with significant talk swirling around either of those additions. What about Buffalo’s Keon Coleman? An ESPN panel pondered a Coleman trade, among a […]

The NFL schedule has been out for over a week now, and we’ve done a lot of analysis covering a lot of different storylines for the Washington Commanders. They’re coming off a disappointing 5-12 season, that followed a 12-5 season and an appearance in the NFC Championship Game. That led to massive changes to the […]

That unit ranked dead last in yards per game (384.4 ypg), No. 31 in takeaways (10), No. 31 in red-zone defense (67.7%) and No. 27 in scoring defense (26.5 ppg). That led to a complete overhaul, starting with coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.’s firing after the season. […]

Washington’s general manager came away with quality despite that fact, adding players capable of making an instant impact. That happened well beyond No. 29 overall pick Josh Conerly Jr., an offensive tackle […]
