Commanders News: Sam Cosmi Gets 4-Year Extension + Dan Quinn Releases SURPRISING Week 1 Depth Chart

[Music] we've been advocating for it all offseason long and finally the Washington commanders come to terms on an extension with Right Guard Sam Cosby I'm going to be breaking down uh the contract extension these two sides agreed upon and why it's a fantastic deal for the Washington commanders here over the next four seasons then we'll get into a week one depth chart released by new head coach Dan Quinn which had some surprises on there if I'm being honest with you guys so make sure you stick around to see what those surprises were on the week one depth chart for this week's matchup against the Buccaneers and speaking of that matchup against Tampa Bay make sure you guys click that thumbs up icon to kick off today's show if you want the Washington commanders to start this season one and0 with a win over the Buccaneers okay let's get into the program today starting with the report from Adam schfer earlier today saying the commander guard Sam me signed a 4-year $74 million contract extension that includes 45 million guaranteed per source so this is something that if you've been watching the show for a while you know I've been advocating for a very long time and honestly I thought it was going to cost this team about $20 million per year to get done that wasn't the case they got this deal done at $18.5 million per year which isn't even the top five among starting guards in the National Football League right now Landon Dickerson Chris Lindstrom Quinton Nelson Robert hun and Quinn Miners are all guys that are currently making more and actually quite a bit more than Sam cosmi at this point so I love that Sam took a little bit of a HomeTown discount here you know he's he's kind of believing in this football team in Dan Quinn in Adam Peters in jayen Daniels he wants to be here in the nation's capital and I love that he was able uh uh to get something that he thought was fair and appropriate and I'm glad that the commanders were able to get this guy their best offensive lineman right now bar Nan at a nice discount here of 18.5 million per year and by the time this contract expires guys he's not even going to be close to the top 10 of the highest paid guards in the National Football League so I think this is an excellent deal for the team I'm glad that Cosby's happy with this new deal as well and let's rock baby I cannot wait to see Sam Cosby here uh being a pillar of this offensive line for many years to come so give us a grade down there in the comments section grade this extension of Right Guard Sam Cosi $18.5 million per year give me an A B C D or F for today's pined comment YouTube's going to throw an ad break here in just a couple of seconds and when that happens take advantage of that time by give me an a a b a c a d or an F for me I'm going to give this a very solid a then we can get here to the first regular season depth chart that head coach Dan Quinn has put out earlier this week now this is technically unofficial all right so keep in mind that some changes could potentially be on their way due to injury designations all these different things things could shift around and we could see a different line up on game day but this should be a pretty good representation as to where the commander coaching staff sees this roster stacking up heading into the year so obviously Jayden Daniels it's been out for a while that he is going to be the starting quarterback week one versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers no surprises there we get to the running back depth chart no surprises again B Rob followed by Austin Eckler and then Jeremy McNichols did make uh the final roster as the rb3 but the first surprise of the day at least for me was that Luke mcaffrey was listed among the starters at the wide receiver three position alongside Terry mclen and alamed zakus Noah Brown the recent the recently signed wide receiver was left out and diami brown who had a really nice training camp in preseason also left out on the initial starters list and the fact that Luke mcaffrey is already uplisted with the starters tells us that he is probably going to play a pretty key role in this off in this offensive coaching staff headed by a new offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury really believes in this kid and they expect him to really step up this year and who knows he might even end up being the number two wide receiver on this Commander's offense when it all said and done especially after trading Jan doson to the Rival Philadelphia Eagles then we get to the tight ends here uh Zack hers was listed as the number one a little bit of a flip here John Bates is now listed as the number two over rookie Ben sinot I think that that probably indicates that Ben is going to be a little bit more of a slow burn here and I think that you know he's going to have to really earn the playing time that he gets this year and that he's going to be more of a long-term play at this position whereas Zack SZ is more of the short-term play and John Bates the reason why He's listed as the number two tight end is because he's more of a blocking tight end and he's expected to get more playing time than Senate at least right away then we get to the offensive line Brandon Coleman still listed as the starting left tackle he practiced fully today so you can expect him to start week one versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then no other changes to the offensive line ell gry at left guard badass at C at Center you got Sam Cosby the newly signed guard at Right Guard and then Andrew Wy hopefully hopefully hopefully he can hold up at right tackle this year I guess we'll have to see but it's going to be interesting to see here if Brandon Coleman um is going to hold up at left tackle this year because he is talented physically uh he's got the physical tools that you look for in a starting left tackle Dan Quinn has certainly raised the expectations for him with how much he's glowed about him in his performance in training camp this year but he has dealt with a little bit of an injury here and you know he's missed some time and you know his tape at TCU last year was bad I thought he was one of the worst if not the worst tackle at the Senior Bowl in Mobile Alabama last year uh so you guys know if you watching the show I have my reservations about Brandon Coleman but the fact that they're willing to start him week one over Cornelius Lucas who they did bring back in free agency shows that they have some sort of confidence in this young man uh so I'm definitely rooting for him so up next here on the commander support the defensive depth chart for week one for your Washington commanders but before we get into that let have a word from our sponsor here at game time which is the fastest and easiest

game time today what time is it it's game time get to the defensive line depth chart here and cleanand furl is in fact listed above Jamon Davis on the official Commander depth chart here for week one um it definitely seems like Cleveland furl is going to be brought in this year as more of a run Defender that's his kind of forte he's not much in terms of a pass much as a a pass rusher but something that's definitely telling here is that Jamon Davis somebody that a lot of people including myself thought was going to be uh a starter on this on this defense this year is actually listed as a backup now I definitely think he's going to be a part of the rotation um but at the end of the day right now they do not feel like he has earned the opportunity to start on this defensive line the fact that they're listing him as a defensive end and and not a linebacker at this point is definitely telling then we get to the linebackers here we got the two guys that are going to be kind of playing more in the middle Frankie louu and Bobby Wagner and then you got the designated pass rush outside linebacker and Dante Fowler JR this is a 43 under defense and in a 4-3 under there is an outside linebacker that plays close to the line of scrimmage pretty much as a designated pass rush specialist that's going to be Dante Fowler Jr for this team to start but make no mistake Frankie and Bobby Wagner both excellent blitzers in their own right expect to see all of these starting line linebackers get after the quarterback this year so before we get into the secondary here for the Washington commanders go

the commander support so help us get there today by joining our family okay now let's get to the safeties Quan Martin and Jeremy chin will be your starting Duo expect to see Derek Forest uh with two RS not three Rs uh you know little spelling mistake there on our Graphics are bad there um but Derrick Forest I do think will be a part of the rotation and you know it'll be interesting to see how much they use Percy Butler and Tyler Owens this year I think they'll probably be more special teams players um slash Reserve type players uh there we go producer Joey fixed that for us thank you Joey uh so we got Quan Mar Jeremy Chen have high expectations for both of those guys both of those players I think are perfect fits in this defense and I think that's going to become one of the better safety Duos in the League this season then the cornerback room here Emanuel Forbes is listed as the number one corner so I guess we're going to see uh what he's capable of here the seconde corner out of Mississippi State um you know there's a lot of pressure on him this year after a really uh tough rookie campaign uh he took some lumps in uh joint practices with teams like the New York Jets and in the preseason game against the Jets lots of expectations for that young man I'm really hoping that he's going to be able to live up to them and then after that it's Benjamin Saint juice is the other person that is listed as a starter here and then we got Mike samr Joel as the starting slot honestly I think sers is probably the best corner on this team right now so how did Adam Peters do in terms of this roster this year so now that we've gone through free agency and roster cuts and the draft and all these different things that this team has gone through this offseason give me an overall grade for what Adam Peters was able to do all right you got Dan Quinn a new head coach you got Jayden Daniels a brand new quarterback I think you make some very intriguing moves with the roster this year so before I get my grade here give me an a a b a c a D or an F then for me personally guys I'm going to go an A minus okay I think that uh Adam Peters did a good job specifically with the hires of the head coach and then going out and getting the right quarterback and jayen Daniels I think that combination is going to be the combination that brings Lombardi trophies back to the nation's capital here I'm very excited about the future here in Washington was it perfect no not in my opinion I think there's certain things you could have done better if you were Adam Peters but that's why I talk about football for a living and that's why he builds rosters for a living right so hopefully Adam Peters uh did a really good job this year I guess only time will tell um if this off season ends up being the one that changed things forever okay guys make sure you click that subscribe button if you haven't already really do appreciate all of your support I'll be back tomorrow with another
