With free agency a month away, I thought it was time to look at some potential free agent fits for the Commanders, starting with edge rushers: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...

Before diving into free agent fits for the Commanders, I'd watch a few games of some of the draft prospects most frequently mocked to Washington so far, including David Bailey, Rueben Bain and Caleb Downs. Here's my initial thoughts on them: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...

Much of the focus of #Commanders rookie RT Josh Conerly Jr's rookie season has been on his pass protection. Against the Cowboys, I thought the other parts of his game stood out and showed the potential he has. I broke down his performance: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...

The #Commanders are finally giving second year TE Ben Sinnott more opportunities as a receiver and against the Cowboys on Christmas day, he started to show why he deserves more. I broke down his performance: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...

#Commanders second year DT Johnny Newton had a career day, racking up 3 sacks against the Cowboys yesterday. I broke down his performance: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...

Commanders WR Treylon Burks had some promising flashes against the Eagles on Saturday. RT Josh Conerly Jr. had some struggles. I broke down both of their performances: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...

#Commanders second year DT Johnny Newton hasn't quite developed as anticipated when they drafted him in the 2nd round back in 2024, but he is still showing flashes of his talent. I broke down his performance against the Giants: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...
