Why the Washington Commanders Could Be Facing Their Toughest Season Yet: 8 Unexpected Challenges Ahead
They replaced two-time Pro Bowl interior lineman Jonathan Allen with Javon Kinlaw, who was a bust for the San Francisco 49ers from 2020-23, and the New York Jets last year. He played on the same defensive line as Nick Bosa in his four years with San Francisco. If Kinlaw can’t produce alongside Bosa, I doubt he flourishes in Washington’s defense.ÂÂ
Furthermore, the Commanders were 28th in yards per rush allowed last season, and three of their four starting defensive backs had a below-replacement-player grade at Pro Football Focus. Hence, Washington’s defense will have a tough time getting off the field, and its secondary will get carved up by the better quarterbacks it’s facing this season.ÂÂ
