Loser No. 3
Commanders' backup edge rushers
The Washington Commanders didn't have their projected starting edge rushers on the practice field for this one. Big-money signing Odafe Oweh and fellow spring arrival K'Lavon Chaisson are still working their way back to health, so it was up to those lower down the depth chart to contain two-time NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson.
It did not go well.
According to reports, the Commanders didn't apply consistent pressure on Jackson throughout team drills. This is a far cry from how Daronte Jones' front seven looked against the Miami Dolphins, but as we all know, the Baltimore Ravens are a much higher standard of opposition.
This is nothing to be overly concerned about right now.
Oweh and Chaisson will return at some stage. It's also worth remembering that Dorance Armstrong Jr. is still being brought along gradually from a torn ACL sustained last season. Once this trio is fit and firing on all cylinders, and Daron Payne is back on the front, things should look better.
Winner No. 3
Antonio Williams - Commanders WR
It wasn't all bad. There were a couple of encouraging signs from an otherwise underwhelming day at the office for Washington. And not for the first time this summer, third-round rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams was among them.
After a quiet bedding-in period to begin training camp, Williams has turned the screw in recent weeks. He's coming alive at the best possible time, becoming more comfortable in the scheme while also growing in confidence with every big play.
This was arguably Williams' best all-round day so far, according to those in attendance.

The former Clemson standout gave All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton real problems in one-versus-one drills. While the highlights in 11-on-11 were few and far between, Jayden Daniels' deep shot to his first-year pass-catcher was something positive to take away from the session.
It's tough to assess what sort of role Williams will have in David Blough's offense. But there is no doubt he has earned one right out of the gate.
Loser No. 4
Adam Peters - Commanders GM
Adam Peters took some big risks this offseason. And after watching his offensive line crumble once again, the general manager probably knows that things are not going as he'd hoped.
Again, there was no Laremy Tunsil, which is huge. Nick Allegretti is working his way back, but banking on him to become a starting-caliber center after missing almost the entire summer is extremely risky business.
These are problems Peters could have avoided.
Releasing Tyler Biadasz was a big call. Striking out on Tyler Linderbaum was understandable, given how much the Las Vegas Raiders offered. But failing to identify another productive veteran and moving forward with Allegretti was inexcusable.
It's borderline malpractice. There is also a large enough sample size to suggest that Peters must be aggressive in the coming weeks to find a better center who's ready to go in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Because if this problem becomes a weak link in the regular season, the finger of blame will be pointed squarely at Peters.
