Ben Standig

Announcement: I did a thing. New home for my written Commanders coverage. I'm excited for everyone to join the adventure. First up, the mission statement for "Last Man Standig."

@Redskins_XXII Drooling? Zero idea what you're talking about. We've been among the loudest saying we don't get this.

@BenStandig Lol. That’s because you and Commando Kev can’t stop drooling over this basket case. He’s damaged goods. But keep talking about it and pretending you can’t figure out why you two keep talking about it. I hope you get your coveted mental health patient.

What's fascinating about all the Brandon Aiyuk-to-Commanders rumors is that they have maintained energy despite seemingly zero input from Brandon Aiyuk. “Nobody has heard from him,” said one team’s GM “Nobody’s talked to the kid.” open.substack.com/pub/lastmansta…

@JDToTerry Come on now. Nobody is suggesting BA is living in total isolation. This is about the context of the rumors when there's no actual updates from connected with Aiyuk.

Strong chance someone has heard from Aiyuk. And likely keeping in contact with him

Commanders and 76ers co-owner Marjorie Harris celebrates after Philly rallies past the Celtics in Game 7.

The fighting Josh Harris hoppers right now.

1. Commanders fan @Rick_Devens. If David Blough's play calling is as creative and aggressive as Devens in 50, this will be a fun season. 2. Ozzy. In the stay/go mix weekly 3. Cirie. Biggest thumb on the scale for each eviction. How on earth is she still in the game???

Perhaps the most underrated WR in modern NFL history. You heard me.

Matt McCrane nails a 56-yard field goal to put the Defenders up 24-0 with 36 seconds left in the first half.

Here at Audi Field to see the 4-1 D.C. Defenders to take on the 3-2 Dallas Renegades. Doug Williams is today’s game ball presenter.

@CheNorth11 Separate matters. We never get to Dawkins if the owner recognizes big changes were required years earlier.

@BenStandig Im good with Dawkins. S/o to Rob Dillingham

Call me crazy but I think the Wizards should have pushed harder for Tim Connelly.

R.J. Halliburton with the 3.

@ThisIsJMichael Nique and Worthy and Drexler were all stiffs!

watched some YouTube teen’s reaction to 80s basketball. He didn’t realize the game was so fast-paced and guys were elite athletes. These kids think they played with a peach basket 🤣 Those Nuggets teams with David Thompson were 🔥 ... Pace isnt new either 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Romegambino21 Thanks, Rome. 👊

@BenStandig Excellent article by the way.

No CBs or safeties drafted. Not an accident. For the NFL’s third-slowest defense — 5.1 seconds from snap to tackle — the Commanders chose speed over coverage. open.substack.com/pub/lastmansta…

@sumnnamesumn @dcavalieri10 Who are these guys?

@dcavalieri10 @BenStandig these guys think pass rusg is all that matters on defense wheb mike sainristil is a starting cb and gets cooked jn 2 seconds

@Romegambino21 Obviously, the hope is that's Styles and Oweh. TBD

@BenStandig Still not sure we have a person the other team has to game plan for, maybe it’s scheme or strength in numbers. When I look at the division, they each have at least one guy, who you better identify.

Up next, @BenStandig joins me to talk #Commanders which may or may not include conversation about Aiyu.... @team980 TheTeam980.com
