Commanders Notebook: The Adjustment That Won The Game

[@TimOley-s6b]

Moving Payne to the edge was cool to see!! Hope to see more!!

[@jaimichaeldee1373]

I dont want to see Davis on the field for the rest of the season. I thought Benjamin was an issue, until I saw Sundays game.... Damn near cost us the game, tho, i do believe the zebras were ticky tacky with calls. Kinda like last week with all of the Lattimore P.I. calls.... But WE ARE IN, SO LETS GO BOYS, HTTR!!!

[@Flocculation]

I wonder if he wants to see you fired too?

[@michaelromett4846]

I agree...he was constantly out of position. He seems to have slow feet or something...BSJ is better than Davis...I was pissed at Cosmi too...still am

[@jaimichaeldee1373]

@michaelromett4846 well as coach DQ had said it's a technique, hands up swat down... Cosmi probably did that all season, id need to review video, but I'd say refs choice on a call or not. But hey, we won, it's playoff time . .... You like that?!!!!

[@buckfudker880]

Lol i know. I dont think I ever saw a team with 11 wins with such a terrible cornerback room

[@patvercher5530]

Neither one needs to see the field

[@coppulor6500]

Penix played extremely well for a second start.

[@lynnoryanbenavente4426]

Excellent 10 Craig! Thank you and Happy New Year!!! 🎉🤙🍺 HTTC

[@diontaedaughtry974]

Adjustment is the key to victory and they used that key. Great video 👍👍

[@mikeykreataflash9193]

Falcons had 1 possession in the 3rd qtr. They stuffed the run on 1st down ending a 3 and out. I felt we would take the lead from there on out. Of course the defense couldn't close, no #23 and no #2 at WR. A huge miss there. The penalties was atrocious. It hurt us but the Falcons had no clock management and thanks to Patterson for missing the kick.

[@tonyrobinson8050]

I would make that D Payne's permanent home next year. He can be special as a left end. As far as Michael Davis goes in my opinion, he is one of the worst corners I've ever seen play by far. His legs are way too long which makes him awkward and gives him no fast twitch ability. He is no way better than BSJ and should not be on the roster of any playoff team and barely belongs in the NFL. He is just a penalty waiting to happen whenever he's on the field and teams target him because he can't really cover anybody with or without pass rush pressure.

[@LamonteBullock]

And we thank him😂😂😂

[@jamestaylor6051]

Would you rest any starters for the Dallas game Mr. Hoffman?

[@craighoffman]

I wouldn’t push anyone who is hurt to play when an extra week could help, but I wouldn’t sit anyone either. You already lost to this team once and getting the 6-seed is meaningful.

[@j.anderson4254]

I'm not. I want the 6th seed. I'm hoping to avoid the cold weather all together. Send me out west to a warmer climate. Not trying to open up in Philadelphia the weather is crazy, there fans are nuts it's a difficult place to play. Plus, Philly is extra juiced right now, they want us bad to try and prove a point. Let the Packers have em they're use to those conditions.

[@michaelromett4846]

The junks made a good point this morning. No desired jayden runs and quick passing game. Keep the golden goose upright at all costs

[@MenOfCulture_TheRoundTable]

@@j.anderson4254solid reasoning 🤔

[@SillyGoose2024]

@@j.anderson4254 it will be just as difficult for wash to beat the rams or tampa as well. so to me it doesnt matter where they end up playing - they are an underdog wherever.

[@NigelThornbery]

I hope Kliff stays at least another year before going to HC. I know it’s going to happen but I pray it doesn’t just because he’s so good with JD and I don’t want it to hurt his development.

[@keithdiggs7991]

For all the criticizing and complaining about penalties and line play. These players are 👍 good enough to be 11-5 and a coaching staff that makes the adjustments to keep us winning. All teams have spots to fill. Focus on cheering for our team and stop the armchair coaching, considering some of you never even played organized football. Be Thankful the football God's love our team!!! HAIL YEAH-HTTC

[@tonyrobinson8050]

Craig, I disagree with you stating that Kingsberry is doing more with less at the receiver position. Why does everybody keep pretending losing Noah Brown was a big loss? I don't get it...Noah brown was a bigger, slower target who only had one touchdown against Chicago after starting every game but the last 3 or 4? Whereas OZ and Crowder already have four TDs combined. The offensive passing game is quicker now and more sure-handed. You could count on Noah Brown to drop 2-3 passes per game. By comparison the 1982 Redskins are very similar to this year's Commanders. That team lost Art Monk right before the playoffs when Alvin Garrett and Virgil Seay picked up the slack with Charlie Brown. Kingsbury's doing a fine job but in JD5 we have hope no matter who plays at receiver on this roster.

[@craighoffman]

Different style of receiver. Brown was top 5 in the NFL in PI's drawn, so while those don't show up in his stats, they were HUGE chunk plays. He also was able to run a lot of routes Jayden is good at throwing (go's and hitches) where Crowder/OZ run a lot more slants and in-breakers. Changing on the fly is hard, and they've done it well.

[@spidermonkey304]

I don’t wanna say what could happen in a overall meaningless game against Dallas but if it does i don’t wanna hear nothing from ppl crying we need to be 6th seed.

[@dcbutler357]

This game could be the difference between playing Philly or the rams/buccaneers in the first round

[@Doctor_Ice]

I rather them start a the practice squad CB then Michael Davis

[@duncanbass840]

Stop this nonsense our defense was garbage at crunch time but that how we won along with sorry clock management and a missed field goal

[@johnnylogical8016]

I could watch this guy except for the DEI sticker in the window. What a shame.👎✌

[@craighoffman]

DEI sticker? That's what you're calling a flag that was provided by the team? Guess you're gonna have to hate them too. Sad.
