A 7-8 level QB is going to be really good with a mediocre OC and amazing with a great one. They'll look like an average QB with a bad OC.
A 9-10 QB (Brady, Manning) will be good no matter what.
A 4-6 QB is going to mirror the OC in place. This is most QBs.
Time to start thinking of OCs as multipliers of a QB.
A QB has a base value. The OC either amplifies or negates that value with scheme & playcalling.
An average QB with a stud OC is capable of top 5 play. With a bad one he's capable of bottom 5.
It's that drastic.
Kain Medrano missed a couple tackles. Also showed speed to the gap that made a difference. Helps when the DL is playing as it has vs. the run. All across the board: Settle, Kinlaw, Payne et al. Edges being set by the OLBs. Sound gap discipline and defeating blocks.
🎙 Dove headfirst into Washington's stunning 33-31 home winning over the Seahawks with @ByLiamGriffin. Marcus Mariota thrives. The defense generates three turnovers. Big plays in big moments. Looking ahead to London.

Of the 64 runs vs. Washington this season, 27 have been for 1 yard or less. Seven teams have recorded more... However, Wash has done so on 42 percent of opponent runs. None of the other 7 have done it more than 37.5 percent of the time.
"There was a funeral held for this team after the loss in Dallas and the loss of its starting quarterback. They were 8.5-point dogs at home to the defending Super Bowl champs." Kevin Sheehan on the Commanders' deserving so much credit for Sunday's win
In here, @Commanders coach Dan Quinn says it's "more than likely" that Jayden Daniels will travel with the team to London on Tuesday night. Playing status is still uncertain, but that would at least give him a chance.
"In many ways yesterday was a bit of an organizational win," Kevin Sheehan says. For years, Washington fans, after a loss, could point to several reasons why things went wrong, but ultimately it was organizational at its core. That isn't the case here and now.
Something Washington fans haven't been able to say for a long, long time: The Commanders' defense was the No. 1 reason they won that game. Plus-3 in the turnover margin was the biggest reason for the win over the Seahawks.
Please pray for my brother Leo who had a serious neck injury today.
He is stable and able to move his limbs, and no signs of nerve damage as of yet.
Thank you for your Charity!
Ave Maria Purissima, Ora pro nobis!

David Blough has established a real commitment to the run game that Washington's offense hasn't had for many years. It's not too effective right now but that will come. Commanders 4th in the NFL in rush attempts, allows real opportunity for complimentary football.
