00:00The commanders, according to Nikki Jhabvala of the Washington Post, are releasing Defensive
00:06End Jamin Davis.
00:08She puts this out in a tweet that also lists that the team has cut safety Sheldrick Redwine
00:15from the practice squad and has signed a couple players to the practice squad.
00:19Sounds like perhaps a roster announcement has come out from the club.
00:23But Nikki Jhabvala, the first we've seen here, announcing that Jamin Davis, Defensive End,
00:29former first-round pick, is being released by the commanders.
00:32We'll get you more details as they come.

00:49But that is a significant development.
00:51I mean, Jamin Davis, if you look at how much he's played of late, has certainly not been
00:56a factor at the Defensive End position.
00:58And he hasn't been on the field very much at all.
01:02But to hear that he's being cut as a former first-round pick in the Rivera era who went
01:07in the top 20 after five games with this Dan Quinn regime is pretty massive.
01:12Yeah.
01:13The team has tweeted out as part of their set of roster moves.
01:15So there you go.
01:16So that must be because I saw Nikki's tweet.
01:19I'm going, if you're reporting this, you would source it or you would put it by itself.
01:23She's got it just with like three or four different roster moves.
01:28So the team made the announcement and nobody broke it, I guess.
01:31It's what it looks like.
01:32Cause it just says, you know, we've made the falling roster moves.
01:35Ben Nicol and Michael Strachan and Sheldrick Redwine and Jamin Davis is cut.
01:38Wow.
01:39Oh, what was that one?
01:40So anyway, but, but to that, so this is, this is a pretty big deal.
01:45And here's why it's not just a guy that's not playing is released by team.
01:49Think about what they did when they moved on from Johan Dotson.
01:52Okay.
01:53And this is not to impugn Johan Dotson or run down his character and like that, but
01:56it basically is a, at a position that we're not real strong as evidenced by the fact that
02:01we went out and got somebody that was cut at the 11th hour by another team.
02:05Who's now probably our second best receiver talking about Washington.
02:08This is not a position of strength.
02:09Now it turns out it hasn't been neither.
02:10They're not desperate for receiver help.
02:12They're doing just fine.
02:13I was wrong about that.
02:14But anyway, the fact that they were willing to let Dotson go kind of showed you, we're
02:19not real concerned about missing out on him.
02:23Go to the defensive end spot.
02:24No George Armstrong, at least for some time.
02:27The thinner on the defensive line, an opportunity was going to be there for Jamin Davis to be
02:31part of a rotation opposite Dante Fowler, at least maybe for the short term.
02:35There's not a whole lot of defensive end depth right now in Washington.
02:38It's Vontae John Baptiste working his way back from injury.
02:40He's strong as well.
02:42Yeah.
02:43So there's, there were opportunities.
02:44Yeah.
02:45They're playing opportunities for him and they're not concerned about your defensive
02:49end room.
02:50Cleland Farrell starts Dante Fowler was fantastic.
02:53Last week is the key guy opposite him.
02:55And then it's F.A.
02:56Obata who plays inside outside and Jamin Davis who they just cut.
03:00They think so little about how much Jamin Davis can help him that at their low point
03:06of depth on the entire season, they are cutting him.
03:10Number one, this is a massive referendum once again on Rivera and the Marty party that Ron
03:17Rivera operation and Marty, Marty, Marty and Marty, the law firm that was the gift that
03:22kept on giving.
03:23What an absolutely horrific, terrible drafting operation they were.
