Wrote about Brian Robinson today but one thing that has stood out with him in camp: his hands. Has made plays in the receiving game in each of the first three days. A variety of routes too. Looks good.

Washington is going to be seeing even more one-LB sets this season than we have seen in the past. My guess is up to 35% of the formations will have just one true LB.
This will be in part to the lack of depth at LB, but also the major shift to 6 DB’s (with two of them “hybrids”)

Fun rep here from Washington’s defense. 5-1 front, big nickel package. Percy Butler and rookie Quan Martin up in the box with just a SHS deep pre-snap. Martin shows off that versatility/range from college, sinking back into a Tampa-2 coverage post-snap. Barton at Mike gets INT https://t.co/hSl1guQWOO

The Commanders reached an injury settlement with Henderson. Brings their camp roster to 89, so they have an open spot if they want to add someone. https://t.co/4s3U3tsb2u

Some praise from Daron Payne going Sam Cosmi’s way. Payne says that Cosmi’s quickness/agility at guard makes it hard on Payne to do the things he typically likes to do along the interior

Kam Curl on worrying about his contract. Spoiler: He doesn’t.
“I don’t have time to worry about anything else. … I’m thinking about picks, like the one I got today.”
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) July 28, 2023
This was so good. @KCurl_2 delivering one of the best soundbites of training camp so far.
How often does he think about his contract?
Kam says with a big smile, “I be thinking about getting picks like I did today”

Josh Harris has been very open about being a massive Redskins fan growing up in D.C.
Over the past week, the Redskins name has been used more and more.
Ron Rivera was asked about that today.
He said, “It’s hard to escape it. It really is. That’s just the truth of the matter.” pic.twitter.com/nuquUtiC4O

UPDATE: Want the Commanders to change their name, AGAIN??
The NEW owners & Team President Jason Wright are listening.

I wouldn’t say that, certainly not after two days of camp. Brown has 17 receptions in 30 career games despite excellent speed and ability to make contested catches. Feels underutilized more than underwhelming. I’m expecting Bieniemy’s offense to take greater advantage of those… https://t.co/aEAK0n4d4D

My recommendation for camp.
✅️Go extremely early.
✅️ Catch the shuttle or Uber from dulles Town Center.
✅️Prep for the heat and a massive crowd.
✅️ Read this for instructions https://t.co/6wjeDkV7my pic.twitter.com/vcvgypKrAd— Chris Bryant (@HogfarmerChris) July 27, 2023
