— K’Lavon Chaisson’s quickness is so fun to watch. On one play during an 11-on-11 period, he easily sniffed out a play-action pass and was in position to make a play on Mariota, who was forced to throw the ball into the dirt to avoid a sack.<\/p>\n
— The running back room has been solid for most of camp, but like Daniels, Jacory Croskey-Merritt might have had his best practice on Tuesday. Part of Croskey-Merritt’s appeal is his burst and ability to create explosive plays. There was a clear example of that during 11-on-11 drills, when he found a crease on an outside run and sprinted into the secondary.<\/p>\n
— One last thing on Croskey-Merritt: the Commanders wanted to see him get more involved in the passing game, and that’s exactly what happened on Tuesday. He was targeted three times during practice and made all three catches. While they were just dump-offs from Daniels, they did allow Croskey-Merritt to get in space and use his speed to pick up extra yards.<\/p>\n
— Jeffrey M’Ba got a pass breakup today working with the third group of defenders, which is a positive sign for his development. M’Ba has the physical tools — he’s 6-foot-6 and 312 pounds — but he’s still learning the sport since he grew up in France. Granted, he’s not completely new to football since he played at SMU, Auburn and Purdue. However, the team has high hopes for his potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"— K’Lavon Chaisson’s quickness is so fun to watch.
