Can we learn something about the Commanders from one post-practice workout involving a veteran receiver and a young defensive back?
After the Washington Commanders finished practice Wednesday, veteran receiver Deebo Samuel and second-year cornerback Mike Sainristil kept working out together in a moment that encapsulated the state of the team.
Samuel, who’s entering his seventh season, ran about a dozen routes to show the young corner how receivers could use different release techniques at the line of scrimmage to create separation against him.
One big focus was refining how to stick to receivers who use an outside release to set up an inside route.
