With the Commanders shutting down Jayden Daniels for the final three games, they should shut down other vital starters too.
Terry McLaurin is paramount to the cause next year (as we just saw in 2025). He shouldn't play again in the final three. Same with Javon Kinlaw and Daron Payne at DT. They have nothing to prove. John Bates is a big piece as a blocking TE. Shut them down and play young guys (Lane, Newton, Sinnott etc).
If the priority is on avoiding injuries and making sure you're ready to hit the ground sprinting in OTAs -- not on getting key reps in the final weeks -- that's fine. But go all the way in.
Why stop at Daniels?
It's reached the point where Dan Quinn failing to act on these awful defensive performances reflects more poorly on the Head Coach than the Defensive Coordinator.
If you're not going to fire Whitt Jr, then the spotlight swings to you.
Four weeks in a row of 400 yards conceded.
I’ve seen some bad Washington defenses…
We had Mason Foster and Cody Barton and David Mayo at linebacker…
This defense might be the worst I’ve seen. The linebackers are literally incapable of playing zone coverage
Jaguars DE Josh Hines-Allen’s eight-year-old son Wesley — who was diagnosed with leukemia the final week of the 2024 season — will be an honorary captain for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. Wesley completed his cancer treatment in August and is now in full remission. Josh Hines-Allen has dedicated this season to pediatric cancer awareness in honor of Wesley.
