It’s a new dawn in the realm of Washington football as edge rusher Justin Hollins joins the Commanders’ defense!
Hollins: A Dynamic Edge Rusher with a Journey
On a bustling Monday afternoon, the Commanders made waves by officially announcing the signing of Justin Hollins. Unfortunately, the flip side of the coin saw linebacker Bo Bauer waived in a corresponding move. It’s never easy in the land of NFL, folks; sometimes tough calls have to be made.
From Cheeseheads to the City of Angels
Last season, Hollins, like a dynamic quarterback facing a blitz, zigzagged his way through multiple teams. For the Green Bay Packers, he was an ironclad wall, contributing nine tackles in four games. His trip took him to the Chargers, where he registered another eight tackles and sacked the opposing quarterback once in seven games. Think of Hollins as a well-traveled warrior, gaining wisdom and scars along the way.
Memories in the Heart of Rams’ Defense
Before his travels landed him in Green Bay, Hollins left an indelible mark on the Los Angeles Rams. Picture this: A gladiator in the thick of battle, amassing 50 tackles, six sacks, three forced fumbles, and a lone fumble recovery across 34 games. Hollins was the Rams’ cornerstone on defense until 2022, when destiny called him to don the Packers’ green and gold. Ah, the unpredictability of the NFL spectacle!
Bo Bauer’s Brief Stint
Bo Bauer, who the Commanders saw as a budding talent, had a fleeting yet eventful tenure with the team. Highlighted by his singular tackle in the opening preseason clash, Bauer, unfortunately, had to sit out the recent Saturday game.
As the football gods would have it, the NFL, much like life, is an endless cycle of hellos and goodbyes. So, we bid farewell to Bauer and roll out the red carpet for Justin Hollins. With his spark, the Commanders’ defense is set to be more ferocious and unpredictable than ever!
Stay tuned, my fellow gridiron enthusiasts, as the Commanders gear up to bring the heat this season. Things are just heating up, and as they say in football, “It’s not over until the fat lady sings!”
