Do you guys realize how special it is to have a guy like Marcus Mariota?
One of the best backups in the NFL, he had interest from other teams this offseason, and some of his family wanted him closer to home on the West Coast. He came back to Washington anyway. In his words, "For me personally, this is the best place to play football." He wanted to help lead this franchise and continue to mentor Jayden Daniels.
The heart he showed in Sunday's win over the defending champs shouldn't go unnoticed. 3 TDs, 0 INTs and a 110.0 passer rating against a Seattle defense that had held QBs to a combined 77.8 rating since the start of last season. He needed an IV in the locker room before the final drive, then went back out and iced it with a 9-yard keeper on 3rd & 7.
He knows he's not QB1, but he's ready every time his name is called. He went out there and fought for this team and a much-needed win. That's hard to put a value on. Makes total sense why multiple players asked DQ to make him a captain for the rest of the season.

Scary: Commanders CB Amik Robertson has put on a serious amount of muscle this offseason and is in the best shape of his life.
Washington will be a PROBLEM this season 😈
#Commanders LB Joshua Josephs Week 3 vs. Seahawks:
4 TKL | 1 TFL | 2 STOPS
Emmanuel Wilson ran 9 times for 14 yards, and Josephs was in on 3 of those tackles for a combined 4 yards. Two of them went for a loss or a 1-yard gain. The rookie 5th-rounder played 23% of the defensive snaps. I want to see more of him.

Josh Conerly Jr. did not allow a single pressure against the Seahawks yesterday
After facing the Eagles, Cowboys, and Seahawks defenses, Conerly is tied with Penei Sewell for 13th in pressure rate allowed for ALL (not just right) tackles at 4%
And he's not even close to the final product. Sky-high trajectory
