There's one less Rivera-era draft pick on the current Commanders roster.  Jahan Dotson and a 5th Rd pick were traded to the division-rival Eagles for a 3rd and two 7th Rd selections in the 2025 Draft.

What does this mean for the WR #2 position and the final 53 as we head into cut day?

Special teams is most players way onto the 53-man roster.  If you're not starting, making an impact on a special teams unit can be the difference between playing ball on Sundays or watching from the house.  The NFL has adopted a new Dynamic Kickoff that has been under the microscope offer the first preseason games.

Anthony caught up with former NFL Special Teams coordinator John Bonamego to talk about how his thoughts on the new kickoff setup, why special teams coordinators get overlooked of HC positions, and what team he would want to join right now.

Washington's special teams unit ranked 30th on @RickGosselin9 2023 rankings.  Which player can help this unit improve and who will the kick returner be?

While we await Jayden Daniels' regular season debut, we're held over by press conferences, tweets from practice, and one series of preseason play that featured a beautiful rainbow down the right sideline to Dyami Brown.  From all accounts, JD is the truth.

@BlakeJRuffino joins Anthony Armstrong to learn more about the QB1 in burgundy and gold, what can Commanders fans expect from the new 5 in town, and maybe some Top Golf?
