Don't you tell me my business again.
"Washington DC's" was right there and would lend itself to some cool lightning art and a decent logo. But maybe they figured the Chargers had those graphics cornered. And D.C. might evoke Dallas Cowboys. That lame "W" and the team name that took like 3 years to arrive at are pretty lame.

The whole once proud franchise is a joke.

Once every 17 years you notice them, they make a lot of noise, but then die off without having accomplished anything

As dumb as the Commanders name is, it's going to be much worse hearing announcers saying things like "Washington takes a Commanding lead!" one day if they're ever decent again.

Imagine having the choice between saying the NFC East is filled with teams that are comically bad or that they engage in clownball, and thinking the latter is the worse option.


People keep talking clownball 10 years later because the division hasn't improved from it, ya dingdong.

Gotta respect his look tho, but a guy like him playing for a divisional rival always sucks rear end. I want him to play badly for you but to get paid lots because he deserves to take your money for TP.

dude helped us win a super bowl and i will love him forever, but he is completely cooked and constantly injured and the only disappointment i get out of seeing him play for the cowboys is knowing it'd be better for his long-term health if he hung it up instead

It’d be funnier if Doug Pederson uses his knowledge (And maybe dislike?) of Carson Wentz to the Jags advantage and Wentz turns it over 5 times as Jacksonville pulls off a win and Dan Synder looks like an idiot.

In the video, Chase Young blows up the read option on Hurts. (For those unawares, a read option is where the offense allows an unblocked lineman through, and the QB stalls the handoff long enough at whats called "the mesh point" to make the unblocked defender choose. Either he takes the runner - in which case the QB keeps the ball, or he takes the QB, in which case the QB hands off)

There are few answers to the read option, but Chase Young shows basically all of them on this play:

1) Be so goddamn fast, you hit the mesh point before the QB can make the read.
2) Correctly guess whether the QB will give or "pull" which is the concept language for the QB keep.
3) The Chase Young Special, which as far as I can tell is his own invention, of being so fast and athletic that he's able to take the line to the RB, but at the last second head-fake the QB into keeping, and redirecting towards the QB for the sack.


A few moments later in the video, Young and Hurts are talking,

Young: "I knew you was pulling"
Hurts: "Well you're athletic, so you can make that play"

Its the two of them discussing Young's deployment of options 1-3 here, with a knowing nod of resignation that he'll be seeing Young for another 90 snaps this coming season.

Young will never come fully back from his knee injury and will crap out of the league in a few years. Washington fans are not allowed to enjoy transcendent talents that are cool and good on their team. Like Robert Griffin III, Chase Young must be sacrificed on the altar of Dan Snyder's enormous and unpayable karma debt.

This principle is long standing - it goes back to the original archetype: Sean Taylor.
