that's a mpiree always much appreciated when you tune in and don't forget you can read my work

on espn.com i'll have a story up saturday just kind of about the stretch that the commanders are

entering it is a difficult one and why there's some reason for concern, defense, need to be more consistent, why there's reason for optimism. Offense, Jaden Daniels. At some point, you'll get some receivers back, I think. Anyways, that leads into the first of all, I'm going to be doing my five thoughts in a minute, but I do want, I always like to start off with the injuries on Friday. Tara McLauran is out. I'm going to be one of my thoughts here, so I'm not going to go into it too deep there. Debo Samuel, here's the here. I want to read it off. So Debo Samuel, questionable because of the heel, Doran's Armstrong, questionable with the hamstring. Samme, questionable because of obviously coming back from his knee.

And now as for Sam Cosmy, keep in mind,

they have an open roster spot. When they put Drake Jackson, that's Drake Jackson, not Drake

London, Drake Jackson, when they put him on injured reserve, that opened up a spot for Sam Cosmy.

I talked about that the other day that I thought that's what was probably going to happen,

or at least that was a scenario that would happen.

So if they, if they, they, Cosmey's had a good week. So that's, that's what they've said. The big thing, as I told you, they want to build up his endurance and his conditioning so he can play every play, not just play, because you can get tired, but the problem is what happens you get tired, you just, you lose technique, you lose all sorts of things,

and they don't want that to happen so they
