Blogs about the Washington Commanders and Washington Commanders fans.
Welcome to the Time Machine! The Throwback Thursday feature that allows you to swap current players with former players. Today’s edition is for middle linebackers.
You can either choose to keep the current player that holds the roster spot, or you can travel back in time in the Redskins Commandelorean, and pick up one of three players that played that position at some point.
Today’s wallpapers are to acknowledge two more guys that could and should be a big part of the 2022 Washington Commanders offense – Carson Wentz and Jahan Dotson. Both are new to the team obviously, with Wentz coming over from the Colts and Dotson being chosen with the Commanders very first draft pick.
They join last week’s schedule wallpaper honorees – Terry McLaurin and Brian Robinson Jr. – on what promises to be an improved offensive attack.
Washington will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1 – hoping to make history, and earn their first win as the Commanders. The past off-season was rife with noise for the organization; but come Sunday, the only thing on anyone’s mind will be what’s happening on the field.
As the Redskins, Washington have only lost once against the Jaguars. They have won the last four meetings.
The Jaguars head into Fed Ex Field, looking for their first ever win there. Jacksonville’s only win over Washington came in 2002 at home.
Following the roster cut down to 53 players on Tuesday afternoon, players had to clear waivers before they could be signed to the practice squad. The Washington Commanders announced yesterday that they had signed the following players to the 2022 practice squad:
Every year for near on twenty years, this site has posted schedule wallpapers for people to download. It’s quite comical and near digitally historic to think about how wallpapers were originally created for desktops at resolutions of 800 x 600 at that time. Then they went to 1024 x 768, and eventually moved on to more high definition letterbox typed sizes like 1280 x 720. Ultimately we moved into the mobile arena and had to start creating them at 1080 x 1920 for people’s phones.
Whatever the size, we hope you enjoy them!
Tuesday was cut down day – arguably the toughest day to be an NFL player – especially if you’re on the bubble. The Commanders trimmed their roster down to 53 players, and with it came a few surprises.
The Washington Commanders kicked off their inaugural season yesterday with a 23-21 loss to the Carolina Panthers. NFL pre-season games mean less and less each year it seems, but what good and bad things can be drawn from the Commanders’ first game?
Washington will play it’s first ever game as the Washington Commanders today in pre-season game one. They take on their favorite trade partners – the Carolina Panthers. It will be the first time that quarterback Carson Wentz suits up for the team.
The once prodigal son came home. Ryan Kerrigan signed a one-day contract with Washington, to announce his retirement from professional football. Despite spending last season with the division rival Philadelphia Eagles, Kerrigan wanted to close out his career with the team that originally drafted him in the 2011 NFL Draft.
Washington took the “Heartbreak Kid” with the 16th overall pick out of Purdue. He made an impact from the very start. There was something tangibly different about him. A quiet confidence. A non-stop motor.
He would start every single game in his first eight seasons, and he would play for Washington for ten years. He was named to four Pro Bowls, and finished behind only Dexter Manley in career sacks (95.5). He registered a sack total in double digits four different times.
Well, it happened again. Former Washington offensive tackle Joe Jacoby was once again denied entry into the hallowed halls of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
It has become painful even for the fans of the big offensive lineman. For Jacoby, it has to feel like a morsel of food getting stuck between the same two teeth after every meal.
