Now through the first round of free agency and the draft, and entering the second round of free agency, it's a good time to look at which players might be vulnerable to replacement on Washington's eventual 53-man roster.This exercise will consist only of those players who made the final roster at the beginning of last season.

The draft has come and gone and as usual, the Commanders had a needs draft.Unfortunately, those needs were not all met with the seven picks they used, still leaving some holes on the current roster.There is no doubt some veterans will be released in the coming days/weeks, and that should free up some cash, and roster spots, for Ron Rivera and company to add some veteran talent to the roster.

Player Overview
Henry To'oto'o (pronounced TOE-OH TOE-OH) was a highly scouted 4-star prospect out of De La Salle High School (Ca.)

I've said for weeks this team is not a playoff team.Sure, they may have done a good job pulling the wool over our eyes for a few weeks there in the middle of the season, but when push came to shove, they got bullied.With the season on the line, and in control of their own destiny at home against a Browns team with nothing but pride to play for (and on a day where they were honoring the great Hogs) Washington completely soiled themselves in front of a half-packed stadium with a crowd booing Carson Wentz's every snap and chanting Taylor Heinicke's name!

Led by Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne and Montez Sweat, the Washington Commanders defensive line has received most of the plaudits for the team's defensive resurgence.While deserving of the praise, the performance of the secondary and Jamin Davis are worthy of recognition for the turnaround, too.Davis disappointed as the No. 19 overall pick last year.

As the defensive backs' celebration finally winds down, and the NFL comes to grips with the emergence of a new disruptive force in the NFC East, it is time to review the snap counts and game statistics from the greatest upset of the season to date.STATISTICS


     The Washington Commanders dominated time of possession against the Philadelphia football team, maintaining control of the ball for 40 minutes, 24 seconds, making this the 4th most lopsided possession battle so far this season, and the 12th most lopsided time of possession result in franchise history.

Some familiar faces can help sixth-round running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. thrive with the Washington Commanders next season and beyond.The Washington Commanders will be relying on some established stars to assist Chris Rodriguez Jr. during his initial transition.The sixth-round pick was a big favorite of Eric Bieniemy's en route to becoming the No. 193 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, which adds another weapon to the running back room after the team released J.D. McKissic with a failed physical designation during free agency.

The Washington Commanders got themselves some potential home run hits from a recent three-round 2023 NFL mock draft published by CBS Sports.The excitement continues to build surrounding the Washington Commanders falling into different ownership.Two bids have now been lodged that reportedly meet Dan Snyder's asking price of $6 billion, with Adam Schefter of ESPN adding that something could be officially confirmed before the 2023 NFL Draft to further heighten expectations.

Yesterday, Bill published his updated look at Washington's depth chart, accounting for all the players currently under contract, including those recently re-signed to low end deals - primarily back-of-the-roster guys.With the "legal tampering' process opening up tomorrow, and full-fledged free agency starting on Wednesday, I thought it seemed like a great time to scour through the players currently on the roster, and identify the spots most easily upgraded through free agency and the draft over the next couple of months.

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera has been named a finalist for the NFL Salute to Service Award.The two other finalists are San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle and Cincinnati Bengals TE Hayden Hurst.The recipient of the award will be recognized at NFL Honors which will take place during Super Bowl week(February 9th) in Arizona.

This began as a discussion about whether the Washington Commanders should pursue Raiders quarterback Derek Carr if he becomes available this off-season, which appears to be almost a lock.The simple, no-frills answer - before getting into all the nooks and crannies that go into such a decision - is yes.

Kyle Shanahan loves to stick it to the team he was once a part of - and one who he feels did him and his dad dirty.On Saturday evening, he played the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, out-coaching and out-scheming an unprepared Commanders squad fighting for their playoff lives.We often talk about how coaching matters.

It's VERY evident that this team is not equipped to chase points.After taking an early 10-0 lead, the Giants outscored the Commanders 20-3, and it took an amazing fourth and four throw from Heinicke and an OUTSTANDING catch, spin and run from rookie Jahan Dotson to tie the game.Kudos to the Commanders defense for not allowing the Giants to score in the fourth quarter or overtime, however Washington's offense was not able to put any points on the scoreboard in overtime either and had to settle for a disappointing tie.

The Washington Commanders shocked the football world on Monday night in Philadelphia and are now in a prime position to make a legitimate playoff run over the next several weeks.The odds were stacked against the Commanders.Very few analysts believed it could happen.Fans were very skeptical.By late Monday evening, the Burgundy and Gold upset the previously unbeaten Eagles, 32-21, in what is arguably their best game of the 2022 season.

The Washington Commanders defense doesn't get much (if any) national recognition, but they're developing into a daunting matchup for opposing offenses.The defensive line has received most of the plaudits for the in-season turnaround, and rightly so.As a result, though, Jamin Davis' play has fallen under the radar.

The Washington Commanders were able to pull a rabbit out of a football hat late Sunday afternoon with an amazing bag of magical tricks in the closing minutes of the game against Indianapolis.The Washington Commanders extended their winning streak to three games with some amazing heroics in the final minutes of Sunday's game at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The Washington Commanders made a pair of roster moves before they travel to California tomorrow to prepare for their Christmas Eve game against the San Francisco 49ers.The offensive line has been dealing with injuries since before the season started, and they continue to shuffle players in and out of the lineup.

The Washington Commanders enter Sunday's contest at FedEx field against the New York Giants with more on the line than they have had in any other regular season home game in recent history.Amazingly, they can all but guarantee themselves a playoff spot with a win.After spending the last two weeks unsure quite how to react to a tie, the Commanders have the opportunity to put that odd feeling behind themselves and start looking toward the playoffs if they can take advantage of the extra time to rest, rehab, and prepare, and put the Giants away in primetime on Sunday.

The Washington Commanders are preparing for their biggest regular season game in several seasons, so naturally Dan Snyder is a talking point among the local and general media.Six weeks ago, Snyder hired Bank of America Securities to explore transactions with the franchise, including a potential sale.

The goal of All aTwitter is to give readers a handy spot to check the Washington Commanders beat writers & bloggers, national sports journalists, and football fans in order to keep up on the latest news and opinions about Washington, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

The Washington Commanders returned to the practice field today, after a long bye week.Ron Rivera went through a long list of injury updates as he talked to the media yesterday.The team released the today's injury report before Rivera spoke to the media after practice.We learned that Jamin Davis has thumb surgery, and he told the Washington Post that he tore a ligament in his thumb on November 6th against the Minnesota Vikings.

Charles Leno called for holding.I'm sorry, but there absolutely was no hold on this play.Fans have every right to be furious at this officiating today.

The Washington Commanders will lock horns with the NY Giants on Sunday afternoon.With Washington just a half-game behind New York in the standings, this rivalry game has massive implications in the NFC playoff race.Leading up to the game, all eyes were on Chase Young and whether he'd make his season debut.

The Washington Commanders ruled out 3 players for tonight's game against the Eagles in Philly.They also listed 2 players as questionable, and two players were elevated from the practice squad today.Washington also added Jonathan Williams to the injury report with a knee injury.Washington FB/TE Alex Armah has been elevated the last three weeks, and would have needed to be signed to the 53-man roster to be available tonight.

The Washington Commanders ruled out 4 players for tomorrow's home game against the Minnesota Vikings yesterday.They also listed 1 player as questionable(Shaka Toney), and two players were elevated from the practice squad today.Washington also added Sam Cosmi to the injury report with an illness.WR Kyric McGowan has been elevated the past two weeks due to injuries to Jahan Dotson(hamstring) and Dyami Brown(groin).

The Washington Commanders entered game seven of the 2022 season as heavy underdogs, but those dogs had a lot of fight and were able to pin a loss on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.When quarterback Carson Wentz was designated to the injured reserve list last week, the team called on Taylor Heinicke once again and a season on the brink was looking bleak in the first quarter.

The Washington Commanders released their final injury report for today's game on Friday.Two players were ruled out[WR Dax Milne(foot), CB Benjamin St-Juste(ankle)].LB Cole Holcomb(foot) was placed on IR on Friday, and LB Milo Eifler(hamstring) was activated.They also listed two players as questionable [TE Logan Thomas(rib/illness), DE Chase Young(knee)].

The Washington Commanders will host the Atlanta Falcons in just a few hours.Regardless of the result, this game has massive playoff implications.Perhaps the biggest talking point leading up to kickoff has been the status of Chase Young, who was promoted to the active roster just 24 hours before his activation window closed.

The Washington Commanders thoroughly dominated the Texans on Sunday.In unusual fashion, the game lacked drama- Washington controlled this one from the start.To make today even sweeter for Commanders' fans, this is the first time Washington is over .500this late in a season since 2018.The Commanders are winners of five of the last six, they are heating up at the right time, and did exactly what they were supposed to do today.

The Washington Commanders released their final injury report for today's game on Saturday.Three players were ruled out[(RB J.D. McKissic (neck), LB Cole Holcomb(foot), LB David Mayo(hamstring)].They also listed 2 players as questionable [C Tyler Larsen(back), LG Andrew Norwell(groin)].Washington's 4 tight ends are healthy this week, but Cole Turner is a healthy scratch again.

The Washington Commanders released their final injury report for today's game on Friday.Four players were ruled out[(RB J.D. McKissic (neck), WR Jahan Dotson(hamstring), LB Cole Holcomb(ankle), LB David Mayo(hamstring)].They also listed 2 players as questionable [DE Shaka Toney(calf), RT Sam Cosmi (illness)].

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins and Coach Kevin O'Connell are plenty familiar with Washington.(Adam Bettcher/Getty Images)Despite the Washington Commanders' chaotic week - including a potential sale of the team, the trade of a former big-ticket free agent and the arrest of a suspect in the shooting of Brian Robinson Jr. - Coach Ron Rivera and veteran players urged the team to stay focused on the upcoming game.

The Washington Commanders had two of their top three linebackers missing from practice yesterday as they dealt with injuries.Starter Cole Holcomb missed last week's game against the Colts due to a foot sprain.He didn't practice at all last week, and is still not practicing.That allowed backup David Mayo to get some playing time(19 snaps), and actually get his fingers on a pass from QB Sam Ehlinger.

For as UGLY an offensive performance as this game was, three wins in a row sure feels GREAT!Now listen - I get it; we weren't exactly playing any stellar offenses in the last three contests, but this is the NFL and like the old saying goes - "any given Sunday".Now, if you are a fan of the modern NFL with lots of points and downfield balls (there were just three by Washington), this game may not have been for you... however, if you appreciate good defense and big stops in key situations, then this game was right up your ally.

The Washington Commanders absolutely stole one from the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.Down 16-7 with 11:12 remaining, having not sustained an offensive drive in three quarters, the Commanders seemed dead in the water.However, they managed to string together a few first downs en route to a field goal, stop Sam Ehlinger just short of a first down, and then get the game-winning touchdown with 22 seconds remaining.

Washington Commanders Head Coach Ron Rivera spoke to the media for Victory Monday after the team beat the Green Bay Packers 23-21 yesterday at FedEx Field.Rivera offered praise all around to start the presser.He focused on Jack Del Rio's defense only using a 4-man front against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense.

Wins and losses come in many shapes and forms.Some losses are really ugly - with turnovers galore and mental and physical mistakes all over the field.Some losses are heartbreaking, as the team did all it could to win, but the other team just did a hair more.The same goes for wins.Some wins are pretty (well, maybe not here, but certainly up in Buffalo), and some are not-so-pretty.

The Washington Commanders have generated a league-high 37.4% pressure rate with 4-or-fewer pass rushers this season.The Washington Commanders don't currently have an identity, but one has quietly been taking shape over the first six games of the season.Obada's done an excellent job filling in for Young, as his 16 pressures rank fourth behind Sweat, Allen and Payne and his 3.0 sacks are tied with Sweat and Jamin Davis for second on the Commanders behind Allen and Payne's 3.5.
