Thought #Commanders DT John Ridgeway had a nice performance against the Colts. Kept flashing as a run stopping NT. Consistently stacked up the C and controlled the block. pic.twitter.com/1jFNmNjRzn

In 4 games, Brian Robinson has carried the ball 4 times on third-and-2 or less; has picked up a 1st down each time. Averages 0.25 yards before contact so a huge key for him: always leans forward. On a 3-1 Sunday, hit a yard behind line from side by LB; leaning forward; power; +2

#Commanders’ DT Daron Payne has been a hot name among trade rumors, but sources tell @theScore that Washington does NOT want to deal him. The 2018 first-round pick out of Alabama has enjoyed a productive 2022 season thus far, totaling a team-high 4.5 sacks already.
— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) October 31, 2022
Washington could use a lot of 5 DL, 1 LB sets because of Kam Curl’s ability to play multiple roles and also because it could use Bobby McCain in the slot. Back to his earlier days. Made some plays out of it. Could mix/match with who played deep in 3 safety sets.
— John Keim (@john_keim) November 1, 2022
Heinicke clearly plays better in the hurry up offense. He referenced it in an interview that he played that way at ODU
I’m not very smart, but I’d use tempo & the 2 minute offense in the first quarter to get this team going
These slow starts won’t fly vs Minny & Philly pic.twitter.com/o6ZmSkcUBp
— Tim Meek (@IndySkinsFan) October 31, 2022
We complain about Heinicke’s limitations. I know I do. We know he’s not the long term answer. At least I don’t think so.
But he’s 7-3 in his last 10 starts.
I think I have to re-think what I think I think about this guy. pic.twitter.com/6M4rlEPdyT— John Tayman (@BangRadioHour) October 31, 2022
Three in a row folks. Back to .500 after another excellent comeback. The key for Heinicke is clearly to throw a pick and then let him go.
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 30, 2022
So some fans want us to lose so the staff they don’t like can pick better players, that they don’t think they’re able to, so they can play for the owner they hate & isn’t going away so they can meet the expectations we haven’t seen in over 30 years?
Do I have that right?#HTTC

Colts went up 17-6 w/ 11 minutes to play. #Commanders offense had been dormant all half. Then Heinicke became Mahomes for Halloween.
Final 2 drives: 12/14, 151yds.
Scrambled 4 times for 15 yards.
Went 2/2 on 4th down.
Drive 1: 7/9, 75 yds.
Drive 2: 5/5, 76 yds.— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 31, 2022
the Commanders have lost to teams w/(10-3) record at the time of the loss. we’ve completely ignored that we were losing to good teams. 2 of those losses were 1 possessions losses. Perhaps this run is more valid than we think and perhaps we were a little harsh on our QBs.

Daron Payne playing 91% is unsustainable at best. Chance of injury skyrockets with these numbers https://t.co/vQJq68Uwae
— Big Doug (@DougMcCrayNFL) October 31, 2022
It was a low number of offensive plays for the Colts on Sunday. Payne played 53 snaps.
I wouldn’t say 53 snaps is unsustainable.
Last year, he averaged 49 per game for 17 games (837 total snaps).
In 2020, he averaged 55 snaps per game (941 incl. playoff game)

If you’re into PFF grades, Washington’s top 3 offensive players yesterday were…
1. Terry McLaurin
2. Antonio Gibson
3. Trai Turner— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 31, 2022
The value of Taylor Heinicke’s mobility, continued:
QB, pressured rate (sacks)
W1: Wentz, 20 (1)
W2: Wentz, 39.6 (5)
W3: Wentz, 41.8 (9)
W4: Wentz, 42.2 (2)
W5: Wentz, 27.9 (3)
W6: Wentz, 20 (3)
W7: Heinicke, 51.4 (1)
W8: Heinicke, 44.7 (2)— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) October 31, 2022
.@AntonioGibson14 surpassed 500 career carries. He is the fourth player in franchise history to rush at least 500 times within their first three seasons @BDO_USA | #HTTC
— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) October 31, 2022
Antonio Gibson was tremendous again yesterday. This new role for him suits his game so much better.
7 targets, 7 catches
58 receiving yards, TD
7 physical carries, 19 yds
Getting ball in space
Looks fast, dangerous w/ ball.— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 31, 2022

#Ravens coach John Harbaugh said WR Rashod Bateman will be out a few weeks with a foot injury. It was more serious than they originally believed.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 31, 2022
#Saints RB Mark Ingram suffered a grade 2 MCL sprain, source said, which means he’s likely out 3-4 weeks. Could have been a lot worse for Ingram, who will be back soon.

NFC East standings:
1. Eagles: 7-0
2. Cowboys: 6-2
3. Giants: 6-2
4. Commanders: 4-4At 23-8 combined, that’s good for a win percentage of .742, the highest combined win percentage for a division through 8 weeks since the merger in 1970, per @EliasSports.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) October 31, 2022
The Commanders are now somehow tied with the 49ers for the third and final NFC wild-card slot despite not playing collectively at contender level.
Yet, their main offensive game plan — “Just throw it up (to Terry McLaurin)” — shows what’s possible.https://t.co/OA8lhS9iYP

I’m so used to Washington players being an afterthought in these things that I spent a WHILE scanning the backline looking for one.
It took me by surprise when I eventually saw Terry McLaurin. pic.twitter.com/urki8EkL7D
