Spent some time over the Commanders bye week watching second year RT Josh Conerly Jr. to see where he's at in his development. Full breakdown: markbullock.substack.com/p/c…

The Commanders wanted to be under center more this season. That hasn't been working that well. @MarkBullockNFL and @nick_akridge break down the film to show why and what can be done to fix it: youtu.be/aWvhSrPKBVQ

Here is Jayden Daniels "waiting to see his receiver get open before he throws"
Replying to @nick_akridge
he’s not processing quickly, quite the opposite, he has to see his receiver get open before he will throw - and he doesn’t read defenses that well - but he is very accurate when he does throw and he refuses to throw interceptions almost as much as Wilt refused to get 6 fouls l

Interesting to see the Commanders listed as good fits for so many of these players.

The Commanders spent the whole offseason talking about getting under center more, but through six games they've not been able to get much production from those looks. I broke down their struggles: markbullock.substack.com/p/c…

Considering they’re 1-4-1, the Commanders are much higher on these lists than I expected
Offensive and defensive explosive play rates: The 49ers are the only team to rank in the top five of both!

Best huddle in the league

That’s a really nice deal for Seattle
Compensation update; The Seahawks are sending a 2027 third-round pick and 2028 fifth-round round pick to the Colts in exchange for Quenton Nelson.

The Commanders have been blitzing a lot under new DC Daronte Jones, but those blitzes haven't always translated into pressure and sacks. I spent the bye week looking into what has and hasn't worked for the Commanders pass rush: markbullock.substack.com/p/c…

Nick and I broke down the defensive performance from Monday night, which had a little extra layer of intrigue given the news of Wilks being involved in the game plan
Time to look at the defense. @MarkBullockNFL and @nick_akridge break down the biggest plays from Monday Night and try to explain the difference in performances from each half. youtu.be/WpVG2JMbNLo

Interesting that he started last week. Commanders came out noticeably less aggressive early on vs San Fran, playing more mixed zone coverages with 4 man rushes. Didn't work so they went back to blitzing
The #Commanders have hired Steve Wilks to work with the defensive coaches under Dan Quinn and Daronte Jones, per me and @RapSheet. The decision to hire Wilks was made last month. He started last week. Wilks will help with game planning. He won't be with the team on game days.

Sonny Styles is improving every week. This coverage play is one that very few other LBs can make. The range to cover the ground, the awareness to know where the danger is, the length to get his hand in to the catch point and knock the ball out. Incredible play

I felt Jayden Daniels had a up and down performance against the 49ers last night. There were plenty of good plays, but also quite a few that fell below the high standard he's capable of hitting. I broke down his overall performance: markbullock.substack.com/p/c…
