For now, Commanders Wire will provide selected summary statements by Paulsen. Here is the episode in full.
Jayden Daniels (Rd 1, 2) 'The number one thing for me was his consistency…The amount of work each week to get back to that pinnacle…for him to come back each and every week and trust the process was impressive.'
Jer'Zhan Newton (Rd 2, 36) 'At times he was physically outmatched…I am excited to see him in year two with a full offseason…I do think you see the work ethic, the physical play.'
Mike Sainristil (Rd 2, 50) 'What Sainristil did this year can't be overstated…The flexibility he brought to the defense…he embodies what it means to be a Commander…he's a special football player.'

Kirk Cousins' reaction to Falcons' Michael Penix draft shocker revealed in Netflix's ‘Quarterback' trailer
Kirk Cousins likely didn't expect his first season with the Falcons to take the turn it did, otherwise he may not have accepted a spot in Netflix's 'Quarterback' show. The show released its trailer Monday morning for the second season, where the Omaha Productions/NFL Films/2PM Productions docuseries follows quarterbacks Cousins, Jared Goff and Joe Burrow during this past NFL season. Included in the trailer was the moment Cousins, who was fresh off signing a four-year, $180-million deal with Atlanta, saw the team select fellow quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the draft. The show's typical positive manner took a turn when the trailer revealed a title card that read, 'All the Heartbreak,' and cut to Cousins detailing his decision to leave the Vikings for a more long-term situation with the Falcons. 4 Kirk Cousins and his wife discuss the decision to leave the Vikings and join the Falcons. Netflix/X It quickly cut to Cousins' in-season benching and the visuals of Atlanta drafting Penix with the No. 7 pick. 'I was surprised when the NFL draft happened,' a disappointed Cousins is heard saying in the trailer. 4 Kirk Cousins was benched in his first season with the Falcons after he threw 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. AP In the first season of the show, it followed Marcus Mariota alongside the then-Viking Cousins and Patrick Mahomes. Mariota was also benched mid-season for the Falcons during his run on the show, and the production team elected to phase him out of the show a bit — so, the options for how they follow Cousins' similar situation will be intriguing. The show's other season-two participants, Burrow and Goff, also suffered some heartbreak during the past season, which will also likely be covered under the 'All the Heartbreak' umbrella of the show, which is released on July 8. 4 Joe Burrow will be featured in season two of 'Quarterback.' Getty Images 4 Season two of the show also follows Jared Goff. Getty Images Goff's Lions were the top team in the NFL heading into the playoffs before bowing out early in a gut-punch of a loss to the Commanders. As for Burrow, the trailer shows the headlines from when his home was broken into during the season, so that situation also made it into the trailer. Burrow also failed to reach the playoffs.

Who is Indianapolis Colts top candidate to win Defensive Player of the Year in 2025?
Who is considered the Colts' top Defensive Player of the Year candidate for the 2025 NFL season? Pro Football Network recently weighed in. Who is considered the Indianapolis Colts' top Defensive Player of the Year candidate for the 2025 NFL season? Jacob Infante of Pro Football Network recently selected who he believes the top candidate is for each team. When it came to the Colts, DeForest Buckner was the selection. "With 58.5 sacks over his last seven seasons, DeForest Buckner has long been one of the best pass-rushing defensive tackles in the NFL," wrote Infante. "He's a three-time Pro Bowler and a two-time All-Pro, but Buckner hasn't been a Defensive Player of the Year finalist yet. If he manages to stay healthy for a full 17 games, that could change in 2025." The last five NFL Defensive Player of the Year winners An ankle injury sidelined Buckner from Weeks 3-7 last season, but upon his return, he was his usual highly disruptive self. Even with missing five games, Buckner was still third on the team in pressures. Compared to his position group league-wide, he ranked seventh in PFF's pass rush win rate, 12th in pass rush productivity, and ninth in run-stop rate. That level of efficiency over the course of a full season has the potential to turn into some high-level production. In 2023, Buckner ranked 14th among all defensive tackles in pressures that year, and he was tied for eighth in sacks. For some context, and of course, the production that's needed to win this award each season differs, but when Aaron Donald won in 2020--the last defensive tackle to do so--he led all defensive linemen in pressures and sacks, according to PFF. Along with Buckner's own production, his presence on the field greatly benefits all the defenders around him with the attention he draws, the push he generates, and the mismatches he helps create.

Eagles Star Delivered Thoughts On NFL's Failed Ban Attempt
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. For a brief moment, it seemed the Philadelphia Eagles' infamous "tush push" play was set to see its conclusion. As the Green Bay Packers led a group of teams who attempted to have the play removed from the NFL, it all went to a vote recently. It was close, but as Lane Johnson said, the play lives to see another day. Johnson, a prominent player on the Eagles' offensive line, recently spoke about the play that has drawn a lot of praise and criticism for the Eagles. "It's wild for a QB sneak—something that's been around for a long time—and if it was eliminated, it wasn't going to hurt just us," Johnson said on 'The Rich Eisen Show.' "There are other teams. I feel like the Bills are really good at it, and there are teams that will eventually get good at it. It lives at least another year. It was very close, and it was something I thought may have been taken away, and it still might very shortly. As somebody that's involved in the play, I never thought this would grow into what it has become." Lane Johnson (65) of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrates with owner Jeffrey Lurie after Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs at Caesars Superdome on February 09, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Eagles defeated... Lane Johnson (65) of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrates with owner Jeffrey Lurie after Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs at Caesars Superdome on February 09, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Eagles defeated the Chiefs 40-22. MoreFans of the Eagles have embraced it, even calling it the "Brotherly Shove," as it's nearly become an automatic first-down in short third or fourth down situations. Outside of Philadelphia, the play has generated a lot of complaints from fans, players, coaches, and owners, as there's been a consistent argument about the play not being a "football play." Some have also cited player safety as a concern, although concrete evidence of the play being dangerous to players' health has not been provided through arguments. In Johnson's opinion, the players who are directly in the mix on both sides of the ball during the play would need to be the ones to speak up if they feel it is a true safety concern. Centers, guards, and nose tackles are typically facing a lot when the play goes down. And when it comes to the Eagles, they have a lot of size in that area, which is what makes the play so successful for Philadelphia, in the eyes of Johnson. "I credit the size that we've had in the middle for these last few years," Johnson explained. "[Jordan] Mailata is really good at it. I'm OK at it, but it's really, we got a lot of heavy squatters." According to Pro Football Focus, the Eagles have run the most quarterback sneaks in the NFL since 2021. The Buffalo Bills were next in line, with a difference of 39. While the Eagles have a high success rate of 83 percent on the play, the Bills had a slightly higher conversion rate at 84 percent. It's not automatic, but teams have had a very difficult time preventing the Eagles from converting in critical short scenarios. While the fight against it was strong, it ultimately failed. Johnson doesn't seem confident the "tush push" is here to stay, but the Eagles will surely keep it near the top of their playbook as long as it's legal to run it.
