Watch Terry McLaurin hype up Commanders WR trio in NSFW speech

The Washington Commanders’ receiving corps showed its potential in the Week 1 victory over Jacksonville. Curtis Samuel carried the load in the first half with several catches and a touchdown before Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson joined the fun with clutch fourth-quarter touchdowns that helped see out the win.

It’d be foolish to expect the Commanders’ star trio to find the end zone every game. But making a similar impact on a weekly basis? That’s not only realistic, but Week 1 showed Carson Wentz has the arm and trust in his teammates to share the wealth.

The target share might fluctuate from week-to-week, but McLaurin, Samuel and Dotson are so explosive and dynamic that they’ll keep opposing head coaches and defensive coordinators awake at nights leading up to games.

All offseason, Commanders fans envisioned a receiving corps that would be uncoverable against man coverage. That was on full display against the Jaguars and the mic’d up McLaurin relayed that message to Samuel and Dotson after his 49-yard touchdown in a NSFW clip that has gone viral on social media.

Terry McLaurin hyping up Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson is must-see content for Commanders fans.

Anyone else suddenly have the urge to run through a brick wall?

McLaurin might be soft-spoken and humble behind the microphone when fielding questions from reporters, but he’s an absolute maniac on the sidelines. We wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s quite obvious McLaurin has the confidence to beat any cornerback one-on-one, and he’s absolutely right.

The star receiver, who celebrated his 27th birthday this week, was in his bag all game in regard to route-running but was only targeted four times, much to the chagrin of fans. That’ll happen when you have two other receivers capable of exploiting man coverage, and Samuel and Dotson, as we learned in spades last Sunday, are as shifty and versatile as they come.

Jeremy Reaves put it perfectly after the game.

“There are weapons all around (McLaurin) now,” Reaves said. “That takes the pressure off of him, and now (Wentz) can spread the ball out. It takes the pressure off the guys. Terry has been the guy, so everybody’s (focused) on him. … Now, it’s like, who do we account for?”

Pick your poison, folks. If teams plan to neutralize McLaurin’s impact, Samuel and Dotson will reap the benefits. If an opponent looks to minimize Samuel’s impact, which could be the case more often than not seeing how he was used in Week 1, Carson Wentz will simply look McLaurin and Dotson’s direction.

That’s called having an abundance of riches and McLaurin made that clear in this riveting speech.
