The Washington Commanders’ defense, led by Bobby Wagner and Mikey Sainristil, dominated Friday’s practice, but how will Jayden Daniels and the offense respond?
On this episode of Locked On Commanders, we break down the first three days of training camp. We detail how Dan Quinn’s “iron sharpens iron” philosophy is creating intense competition, with the offense landing the first punch via a Jayden Daniels-to-Deebo Samuel touchdown and the defense answering back with a dominant Friday performance that included a pick-six by rookie Mikey Sainristil and an interception by Bobby Wagner. Harrison also discusses the veteran leadership and total team buy-in, with players like Von Miller and Brandon Coleman embracing the new culture.
Finally, David looks ahead to the first padded practice on Monday, which will be the true test for key players like Brandon Coleman at guard, Jayden Daniels against a physical pass rush, and skill players like Deebo Samuel and Chris Rodriguez Jr., who thrive on contact.
