\-- It was an up-and-down day for both sides of the ball, but there were certain aspects of the Commanders' offense that truly shined. The best example of that was the connection between Daniels and tight end Zach Ertz. Daniels targeted Ertz in the middle of the field several times, and most of those targets resulted in completions.
\-- Running back Brian Robinson Jr. was fired up during practice, often seen clapping in the huddle to hype up his teammates. Robinson showed good vision and quickness on the outside, as he wove through defenders for two big gains near the start of practice.
\-- The entire Washington offensive line did well against the Patriots' pass rush, but left tackle Laremy Tunsil stood out the most. He pushed a Patriots defensive lineman all the way to the sideline on one run play, which prompted some pushing and shoving after the play. He was also a stalwart in pass protection, as he pushed Keion White into the ground with little effort during one-on-one drills.
\-- On the other field, where the Commanders' defense was getting reps against the Patriots' offense, it appeared that the unit still has some work to do before being ready for Week 1, although it's worth pointing out that it can be difficult to evaluate a unit when it doesn't have a full game plan for an opposing offense. Still, there were a few standout moments during 11-on-11 drills. Trey Amos didn't have a highlight pass breakup or interception but did disrupt the timing against receivers like Stefon Diggs. Car'lin Vigers also had a nice pass breakup in the end zone, which drew some praise from his coaches.
