Can the Washington Commanders regain their defensive edge after the pass rush faltered post-Dorance Armstrong’s injury? This episode spotlights the urgent need to rebuild the Commanders’ pass rush, explaining why drafting young talent to fortify the trenches must be the top priority. Position group strategies are debated, with an in-depth look at targeting running backs in free agency and exploring potential trades for wide receivers like Jaylen Waddle and Brian Thomas Jr.
The show breaks down Laremy Tunsil’s contract status, how a potential extension could open up significant salary cap room, and what that means for free agent pursuits such as Brandon Aiyuk. Offensive line performance and the need for real upgrades are assessed, while the battle between efficiency and explosiveness in running backs, spotlighting Rachaad White versus Breece Hall, raises key roster-building questions for the Commanders’ future.
