Washington hits the field for the second day of training camp
The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for the second day of training camp practices. General manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn spoke to the media two days ago, and Quinn was back answering questions before the start of practice again today. The team continues to focus on red zone work, and Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota continue to get first team reps at quarterback.

Jayden Daniels sliding protection:
Nice job by Jayden Daniels calling out db that honestly didn’t really show blitz but he came.
Daniels slid the protection, but it was incomplete

Daniels going through his progressions:
Nice end to situational work for Jaden Daniels
you saw him get from progression one all the way to progression number four, which was the running back Jeremy McNichols in the end zone for a touchdown
This kid is gonna be really freaking good it seems like

Defensive line:
A teaching moment on the D-Line: In between these two reps from John Ridgeway, DL coach Darryl Tapp showed him a technique with his hand placement and asst. DL coach Sharrif Floyd adjusted his feet.

Tyler Biadasz:
Nice job by Biadasz sealing off the DT, allowing BRob to get through the middle for a decent gain #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 25, 2024
Austin Ekeler:
Man Ekeler is shifty. Just took a handoff, made a few jukes and gashed the defense #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 25, 2024
Brandon Coleman vs Javontae Jean-Baptiste:
Really liked the job that Brandon Coleman working against Jean-Baptiste. Made the DE run the hump and washed him out of the play #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 25, 2024
Emmanuel Forbes vs Terry McLaurin:
Really nice play from Emmanuel Forbes, breaking on a ball intended for Terry McLaurin
— Lynnell Willingham (@Nell_BTP) July 25, 2024
Very next play for Forbes Terry gets it back in blood on a deep shot from Mariota
— Lynnell Willingham (@Nell_BTP) July 25, 2024
Emmanuel Forbes has been battling with Terry all practice both getting the best of each other
Second year corner looks much improved
— Lynnell Willingham (@Nell_BTP) July 25, 2024

Mariota gets first two reps of 7 on 7. The result: a scramble and a bullet to Bates near the goal line #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 25, 2024

Hell of a play by Daniels on a TD pass to Mitchel Tinsley. Made the leaping grab over the defender in the corner of the end zone #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 25, 2024
Daniels completes all four of his passes in his series. Davis, McCaffrey, Tinsley and Ekeler all had receptions #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 25, 2024
Jayden Daniels —-> Brian Robinson:
Really nice play to open 11 on 11 from Daniels. BRob take a pass from the QB to the house #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 25, 2024
Jayden Daniels’ hard count:
Another thing that has stood out with Jayden Daniels is his use of the hard count second straight day we’ve seen him draw the defense offsides during situational work.

Terry McLaurin:
Practicing what he preaches.
Terry McLaurin says he wants to improve on his YAC this season.
