Sam Howell talks to the media before today’s practice
Sam Howell held his weekly presser before the team’s first practice. The Washington Commanders won last week, and are now preparing for a division game against the New York Giants. Howell was asked about WR Jahan Dotson not getting many targets, only getting one last week that was dropped. He said he spoke with Jahan, and the team trusts him. He wants to get everyone more targets, but some of it is situational. Curtis Samuel has been making big plays this season, and Howell said he’s a dynamic player who puts stress on defenses.
Sam Howell was sacked 5 times during Washington’s win over the Falcons, and he was once again asked about his sack problem. He is working on getting the ball out quicker, and cut down on drive-killing sacks. He took the blame after the game, and said some of them were coverage sacks. Howell said he’s living his childhood dream, and he has fun at work every day(despite the record amount of hits he’s taking).

Jahan Dotson:
Feed Jahan Dotson!
After 6 games, the Commanders second year WR has 17 catches for 140 yards.
That’s a big drop off from last season.

Sam Howell addressing the media. Said he let Jahan know after the game that he still trusts him. He’s gonna do whatever he can to get him the ball like he does all his other receivers

Living the dream:
Not many people can say they’re an NFL player.
Sam Howell can.
Today he said, “I’m living my dream”
That’s what it’s all about! pic.twitter.com/K3bp0gZy4Y
