Camp updates for the 32 teams
Latest news from the commanding camp
Tuesday July 29
Washington’s defense continues to give its offense problems in the training camp. A key reason: secondary. Washington’s corners are much better in the coverage of the press man than the group of last year, allowing commanders to successfully play.
This has resulted in many failing melted routes when the front sends pressure. Wideouts have not systematically created separation, including in relation to security.
The offense was clearly affected by not having the Terry McLaurin restraint receiver, which excels on these routes. And it is not game planning for pressures. But it is a sign that the defense thinks that it can be more aggressive this season due to an improved angle game that is long enough to send more pressure.

The recruit platform Josh Conerly Jr. worked on the right and left sides on Tuesday morning. He played on the left side of Oregon, but with Laremy Tunsil here, the immediate future of Conly is on the right side. He always turns with the veteran Andrew Wylie on the right tackle.
-
The receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. provided an offensive culmination point. On a fade of the slot machine, he went to the corner of the Mike Sainristil angle and gave a hiking on a Jayden Daniels throw. The only warning of the game: Daniels could have been dismissed if it was a real game.

Washington has signed Deebo Samuel Sr. to provide what he had in San Francisco: a versatile offensive chess that can break the plated and run after capture.
Commanders moved it to attack, aligning it in different fields and letting it wear it on occasion. Samuel caught a touch of 5 yards from Jayden Daniels on Monday on a perfect pass at the corner of the goal area – he swept the ball and then maintained.
Samuel also worked at the start of the return, twinned with Austin Ekeler. Coach Dan Quinn said he loved the energy that Samuel brings to practice – Samuel qualified as “high energy guys”. And he rejuvenated after being exchanged in Washington during the offseason. “I have a lot left in the reservoir,” he said.
-
The defensive line continues to be strong. The end of Armstrong is off to a good start – it was moved more than last year and rushed on occasion.
-
The pads came out for the first time. There is no live tackle, but good pop occurred when the ball carrier Jacory Croskey-Merritt crossed the line and was wrapped by the security Tyler Owens. Croskey-Merritt will be looking at pre-season.
Sunday July 27
There is a reason why the Washington offensive excelled late in matches last season. Commanders work a lot on the end of game situations – one of the reasons why they were 9-4 in games at a score. This was again obvious on Sunday – and it helped end the difficulties of an offense that was blocked by the defense for two consecutive training sessions.
In this exercise, Washington’s attack started with the ball on the 40 yards line and 30 seconds on the left, dragging at 6 years old. During the last game in the series, the 25 yards line, the quarter-arre Jayden Daniels launched a perfect pass in the last inches in the corner of the goal area. This is where the recipient recruited Jaylin Lane exceeded three defensive backs and hits the feet. It was the highlight of the day.
-
The corner of the Mike Sainristil location had a strong camp – after having a similar spring. He intercepted a pass in the middle during the complete team exercises – after also caught a ball to train on Friday. Sainristil is not a big guy in 182 pounds, but he plays bigger than his size, which was obvious when he is confronted with the receiver Deebo Samuel Sr.
Friday July 25
He was obvious at the start of the camp how Washington wants to move his defensive pieces around this camp, especially along the line.
Commanders will provide a variety of looks – sometimes aligned the Passe -Rush Frankie Luvu and Jacob Martin seconds with Von Miller on the other side. They used the end of Dorance Armstrong inside in rush sets towards the passes. They used Tackle Javon Kinlaw for the end of their three -tone alignments.
They don’t have a dominant line player, but coach Dan Quinn said: “I just like having a deep guy team that can be versatile and do things.”
-
The Mike Sainistil corner half continues to have a strong camp. Friday, during the first pass, he caught a pass from Jayden Daniels, initially, to security, Quan Martin for an interception. He has often worked against the receiver Deebo Samuel in the slit and showed the ability to be physical.
-
The second Bobby Wagner also intercepted Daniels in an exercise of 7 against 7 later, falling in the middle and hanging the pass. Security Tyler Owens chose Marcus Mariota (two pieces after the Sainristil interception).

One of the reasons why Washington wanted to sign the Rusher on board von Miller was due to the potential impact he could have on other players. And he should be of great help for the secondary Frankie Luvu, probably the best rusher of Washington passes. Luvu said he used to study Miller’s Pass-Rush’s movements because he felt his game looked like hers.
What Washington loves is that Miller is always versatile – the coach Dan Quinn said he could rush from a position up or with his hand in dirt. He can execute waterfalls. Luvu can also be released to rush more places other than the edge, and it can make him a more effective blitzer.
“I just like to have a deep team of guys that can be versatile and do things,” said Quinn. “I also like the detail in which he finds himself as a pass rusher.”
It should also be noted: Quinn gave Miller a day off from the veteran on the second day of the camp. Their goal is to keep it healthy and productive all season.

Qb Jayden Daniels made a good check to a race call during an exercise of 11 against 11, leading to a big gain by the ball carrier through the right side. There are no pads, so it is always difficult to say what a back did, but the check led to a movement, which put an assist in a worse place – and led him to be blocked. And that released the ball carrier Kazmeir Allen for a good gain.
Wednesday July 23
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said that if most players were making a big leap for the first year in the year 2, the quarter-Arrière Jayden Daniels made this jump during the season. Quinn said Daniels has improved its effectiveness, the more defenses it was faced and which accelerated its decision -making.
Daniels said his key goal This off -season was to improve his leg game.
“Until the place I could be more precise on the throws,” said Daniels.
And, in fact, he displayed them during his first pass during the work of 11 against 11. He launched a pass of 25 yards to the new Deebo Samuel Sr. receiver, performing a fade of the slot machine, for a touch. The defensive back Tyler Owens had a good blanket, but was defeated by a perfect pass.
-
As he did in the spring, the recruit Josh Conerly Jr. worked with the second offensive line behind the veteran Andrew Wylie. It is not a surprise because Quinn will win the post – just as he did last year when he did not give the work of departure QB to Daniels.
-
The second von Miller, who will carry 24 in Washington, has taken several representatives of passage against Conly. He was able to bring Conerly back on a rush to the bull, although the recruit finally anchored. Another time, Conerly maintained an outdoor lever to cancel a rush. Otherwise, fast passes have canceled any chance of pressure.
