Please sit down bc this might come as a surprise: Washington needs players at positions other than QB.

Scout out their options:
🏈 OT
🏈 CB
🏈 EDGE
🏈 TE
🏈 WR

Reporter: “There’s speculation that you may not want to go to Washington. Do you want to just squash that?”

Jayden Daniels: “I’m blessed to go wherever I’m called. Whoever calls my phone, (when the) commissioner gets up and says my name, I’ll be blessed, and they’re going to get

And when asked about James Wood being called up:

“I’m not sure what route we’re going… if Lane had to go on the (IL) today, I would say no, it would not. It won’t be James. But that’s not to say that… when we know the extent of Lane’s injury, that could change the equation.”

QB analysts are better than ever. But still no one can perfectly project prospects to the pros.

So, what should we make of the boom in longform QB analysis?

I went down the rabbit hole to find out:

'To me, when the spotters remove him, there has to be some type of contact with the head,' Spencer Carbery said of Panarin's hit on Oshie. 'That's where I was a little bit confused, him being removed by the spotters and then no minor penalty on the ice.' washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/04…

Here's P.K. Subban's take on the Artemi Panarin hit on T.J. Oshie, which he claims that:

1. It's a hit to the head
2. It's a minor penalty
3. It's potentially premeditated and 'targeted'
4. It would have resulted in a suspension for any other player

Alex Ovechkin has played 23 previous playoff series. The number of times he has posted no points through two games: never.

Until now. On the Capitals, the captain, and what has to change to make this a series. washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/04…

Brutal hit to Oshie’s head by Panarin. Pretty clear head shot. Rangers get a power play out of this as nothing was assessed on the hit. Lololol.

I asked Drake Maye about the now-famous Commanders TopGolf visit. He loved it. 'It was one of the cooler visits I've been on.'

'I think I had the best swing. I was hitting it pretty good. But JJ McCarthy was hitting it well as well.'

I was curious how Jake Irvin, a “late bloomer” in his own words, kept getting better.

Then, I found out he literally — yes, literally — trains like a dog. It clicked. On a pitcher willing to do whatever it takes for the Nats:

An NBA player named Kirk Cousins as his favorite current non-NBA athlete:
The NBA player said: “Kirk Cousins because he gets paid and doesn’t have to win or don’t have to do anything and made $400 million off of one playoff win. Legend.” 😂😂

An interesting look from Neil Greenberg at how often a top-five pick yields a franchise QB washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/04…

'I think everyone [missed out], even around the city and stuff,' Brian Dozier said. 'You win the World Series, and all of a sudden everything is shut down.'

Five years later, the Nats got an imperfect but uplifting victory lap (via Chelsea Janes) washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/04…

Mitchell Parker didn’t arrive as part of the baseball lexicon. He wasn’t on the Opening Day roster. He was a fifth-round draft pick. He wears No. 70.

After mowing down the Dodgers then the Astros, it turns out there’s a lot we’ve got to learn:

There’s a way for the Capitals to keep this first-round series competitive. It’s not what happened on Sunday in Game 1.

On a formula that pushed them this far, and whether they can replicate it against the Rangers. washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/04…

Entering the season, the Caps knew their strengths and limitations. What most of them didn’t know: their coach.

On Spencer Carbery, the 42-year-old rookie with “emotional maturity” and a sense for timing his messages, who helped hold the group together. washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/04…

It's a Screech's birthday tradition. The visiting mascots from around the DC area trashed the #Nats racing Presidents. SCREECH wins.
