Commanders just wrapped their joint practice with the Dolphins. Irresponsible amount of observations coming. 🏈 Miami is not going to be good. That's important to state before I comment any further about how lopsided in WSH's favor today's practice was. And it did feel lopsided at times. 🏈 Marco Rubio was there. So were Nats POBO Paul Toboni and manager Blake Butera. 🏈 Daniels looks great in the new offense. He looks smooth under center and he was awesome in play-action boot game today. 🏈 Diggs is a beast. He's a terrific route runner and he's going to help the Commanders a ton. He's just fun to watch run routes. Legit special in one-on-one drills (which are WR friendly), but that carried over to the team period. 🏈The first play of practice in the team period was a false start on WSH (Conerly I think). He had a rough rep in 1-on-1 vs Chop Robinson (designed to help the DL). He also got into it with a defender in the only 'skirmish' I saw all day. I like that feistiness from him. 🏈 The Commanders couldn't run the ball between the tackles much. In general, the one area I saw that looked like it needed lots of work was their interior OL play in run game. 🏈 One of my favorite plays was on a 2nd-and-6 from the 44. Daniels found Burks on an over route behind the linebackers on a play action shot. Beautifully layered throw. Looked like a throw you've seen in the Ben Johnson / Kevin O'Connell offenses for years. 🏈 Both kickers were strong today. They both went 6-for-6 and made kicks from 60 yards, their longest attempt of camp. Today's kicks were from 33, 38, 43, 48, 52, and 60. 🏈 Bill had a quiet day in terms of yards because there weren't holes but he ran hard. He also had a violent collision late in practice where he lowered his shoulders and helmet on the sideline instead of going out of bounds and delivered a blow. Many of his teammates came running down the sideline to celebrate with him. Terry McLaurin was very fired up. 🏈I only saw Daniels get sacked one time. I think there was another play that could have been a sack when he flushed the pocket to his right to extend a play. Pass pro was pretty solid but there was also a lot of booting him out of the pocket. 🏈Amik Robertson had a loud pass breakup on the outside and proceeded to talk trash to the entire Dolphins sideline. He was pointing at and shouting at several guys as he continued to play from the middle of the field. Funny moment. He's a super competitive, outspoken guy. I like watching him. 🏈Lawrence Cager has had a good camp. I think WSH has five tight ends that could all play in the league somewhere. Best position group they have IMO. 🏈 Daniels was surgical in a 2-minute drill at the end of practice. Looked like they set the clock at 30 seconds or so and had to move the rock. He went 4/5 with two completions to Diggs underneath. Threw a dime to Chig to move sticks for 8 yards as Okonkwo ran out of bounds.

Jayden Daniels had a terrific practice against the Dolphins. I'm not a practice stats guy but he went 12/16 in team periods. 🏈 Looked completely comfortable under center 🏈 Bootleg game was on point. Accurate on the move after booting via play-action. 🏈Hit deep shots down the field to Van Jefferson, Terry McLaurin (toe-tapped sideline) for 30 yards and Chig Okonkwo for 27 yards. 🏈 He was on point intermediate and deep. 🏈 His four incompletions were two pass breakups down the field, a batted ball at the line on a red zone rep and one inaccurate pass to McCaffrey. That was the one ball he threw that I thought was off target.
