With familiar names likely out, tonight's spotlight goes elsewhere. Johnny Newton has something to prove. Drew Stevens has a kicking job to win. Kaytron Allen finally gets to hit somebody. 10 (but really 13) Commanders to watch in the preseason opener: lastmanstandig.substack.com/p/commanders...

NFL mock draft 3.0 comes with two rounds and a bunch of questions entering this week's Scouting Combine. Edge measurables and rank order. Legit top 10 picks among WRs. Ty Simpson's stock impacts trade up/down market. There’s also a Commanders bonus pick. open.substack.com/pub/lastmans...

Twelve months ago, Kliff Kingsbury’s tempo gave Washington a clear identity. Now the organization is weighing whether that identity still fits. That’s a meaningful change — and a telling one. What I'm hearing and thinking about the Commanders' OC role. open.substack.com/pub/lastmans...

Snap counts, Week 17: 🏈 The official split is 41 for Washington’s offense and 87 for the defense. Factor in dead plays and it's 44 to 92 🏈 Johnny Newton set a season-high with 61%. Daron Payne sidelined opened opportunities but still the first time over 43% in 2025 ⤵️

The Commanders are not thriving entering Week 9. Blame the front office's choices? You know I've been down on WR depth for months. Overall, eh. A reminder they were still building up a thin roster and then kinda nailed their top 2025 moves. Injuries suck. open.substack.com/pub/lastmans...

Friday's injury report is an estimation since the Commanders did not hold a formal practice. That said, my estimation is Terry McLaurin misses a 3rd consecutive game baring the unforeseen or Mr. Miyagi gets his hands on that injured quad.
