Postgame – Washington Commanders

Miami Dolphins QB Skylar Thompson

(How do you feel about your performance today?) – “I feel pretty good about it. Every time I’m out there, there’s always going to be some things that we wish we could have back or what not. Overall, I feel like I was very decisive with my reads and putting the ball where I needed to put it, so I felt encouraged by it. I’m excited to go watch the film and learn from it and get better from it for sure.”

(What was your prime goal out there? I mean scoring points, looking good on your reads – what were you trying to do No. 1?) – “My whole focus this whole training camp is just to prove and show that I’m comfortable in the system, and being able to operate fast, being able to get through my progressions, be decisive on my reads, get the ball out of my hands. That’s something that I really focused on this offseason and trying to get better at and improve on, and I feel like I’ve been doing that so it’s continuous. It’s a process. It’s never going to be perfect, even though we strive for that, and it’s just about getting better and learning from the mistakes or the missed opps and just capitalizing when opportunities come. I felt like that’s been my focus, and I’ve been really, really trying to hone in on that.”

(When you talk about getting better every day, what’s the one thing you think you’ve done best this training camp or the one or two things you think you’ve done best this training camp?) – “I think for me it’s being decisive with the ball, getting the ball out of my hands. We talk about it all the time; it’s so important to be able to see what the defense is doing and get into our progressions in a timely fashion and get the ball out and not take sacks and be accurate, and I think that’s something that I’ve shown progress in, is being able to get the ball out of my hands and be accurate. Like I said, there’s always room for improvement and growing, and that’s the part I love about it. There’s always spots to get better at, areas to improve. Nobody ever has it all figured out. That’s the fun part about the game, so I just keep trying to get better and fix my mistakes and just take advantage of the opportunities that I get.”
