N/S Lattimore traded at the right time? (ruled Out for 4 consecutive weeks since trade) [Lattimore will make Commanders debut against the Saints] (1 Viewer)

Thank goodness the picks weren't contingent.

Tommy Myers was one of the few bright spots back in the early years of the franchise. He knew how to intercept passes and hit hard. We could use a guy like that today.

Myers was a “head hunter,” when it was still a normal part of the game.

Here is one thing we do know.


If Lattimore stops having hamstring issues in Washington.. then the medical staff that we have is absolutely garbage.

Alex Molden??

Some of the best shutdown corners in the league don't get INTs at all.
I remember Nnamdi Asomugha on the Raiders, the opposing QB would rarely throw his way since he had everyone blanketed. He was one of the best corners in the game but only had like 3 INT's in a season. They literally only threw his way like 3-4 times per game.

Good point. Chris McAlister from the early 2000's Ravens was the same way.

I know I'm old but I would never list the Saints top corners without mentioning Dave Whitsell.

So far it appears that Lattimore could have been a candidate for the IR. It's possible that his first game back could be against the Saints.
It's hard to watch his great career get off track like this.

Former Pro Bowler still hasn't played since being traded from the Saints

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn announced Friday that cornerback Marshon Lattimore won't be making his debut in their Week 12 game with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday -- meaning the former Pro Bowler will have missed his first three games with his new…

I'm in shock

Did Lattimore get a face transplant when he got traded?

Lattimore was always picked up for a potential postseason run and beyond. He would have had a physical when then trade was completed and the Commanders had to know the condition of his hammy.

Unfortunately, as has been mentioned, he’ll probably be nice and healthy for the game against us.

You know it

He’ll come back for our game.

Man, imagine seeing your favorite team trade significant assets for a star player, then having to go through the weekly “Will he or won’t he play” exercise for like a month, all the while your once hot team you thought was on the way to the promised land and just got its final piece is suddenly on a losing streak. Ouch.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’d rather be in their situation right now, but still, that’s gotta be a bit torturous in the short term.

Lattimore has missed a LOT of games the past few seasons, especially since CSP left. Made me wonder if there was a correlation between Latt's increased frequency and duration of injury and DA's tenure. Rumors were well-publicized that he was one of the "malcontents" in the locker room. To be fair...RUMORS! And now we've learned that Rizzi has made warm-ups mandatory, which would certainly benefit a guy like Latt.

I think it's safe to say at this point that DA and whatever was happening with the Saints had very little to do with Latt's uptick in injuries. Maybe Latt wasn't warming up or stretching properly. Maybe he's just getting older, and more prone to tweaking body parts that have always been known to have issues, going back to college days. But I think we can safely say now....dude was definitely injured, and still isn't healthy. And I think we can safely say....no doubt he'll be healthy enough to play against the Saints. Hoping MVS is the type of WR that ML has issues with. Hoping...

How did he pass a physical? Are the Commanders playing it safe for the long game?
