Yep. He’s need to get 10-12 goals to go with the overall contribution.

DCL has been playing well overall - finishing has been his issue. I don’t think that’s going to change, he’s never going to be a consistent high quality finisher.

But he feels like the kind of striker who can get on a hot streak.

love Gordon, but the issue with the Bears run defense right now is their DTs getting blown off the ball. He’s going to help some, but more against the pass and as a blitzer.

Edwards can definitely help shore up some of it, though. The interior issues are glaring though.

Question for @natetice.bsky.social @fourverts.bsky.social

Per NGS: Bears D is 31st in RYOE and 28th in EPA/rush on runs outside the tackles

They’re 15th and 13th respectively on runs inside the tackles

How much do you think absence/return of Kyler Gordon and TJ Edwards could close this gap?

Did you get the one asking if you wanted to ‘upgrade your stay’? No questions asked, what happens in the hotel stays in the hotel …

Harrison would be a good option on the right if we needed to make a change. He’d do a job there.

MartinC @martinc7.bsky.social · 3d

Bogle is a good right back who makes overlapping/underlapping runs. Thats very different to playing as a right winger or inside forward. I wouldn’t move him.

Aaronson is doing Ok.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt and the #Commanders rushing attack faces the Chicago Bears run-defense on Monday Night Football this week.

For reference, the Bears run defense is currently;

▫️32nd for YPC allowed
▫️31st for runs of 20+ yards allowed
▫️31st for total rush yards allowed

Speaking as someone who now lives in the US I think it’s really cute people in the UK are concerned about shotgun licenses.

I am in Arizona - an open carry State. People can legally walk around carrying machine guns … (literally). You can buy them at local stores and gun shows as a walk in!!!

I would have gone for the TD with a second left. FGs are not beating the Bills.

Jayden Daniels is the first player in NFL history with at least 4,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in his first 20 career games. Pretty impressive.

Much more like it. That looked like the offense from last season. Game on. #commanders

Or get off blocks. Or hit the right gaps.
