@PFF LOVE the aggressiveness from DJ. Too long we've had DCs who just play passive and let the offense dictate all the terms #Commanders#RaiseHail#HTTC#HTTR#NFL
@SleeperWSH Blough has shown the ability to get into good grooves in his play-calling and feel for the game. I've really enjoyed the balance. Should only get better with time, too. #Commanders#RaiseHail#HTTC#HTTR#NFL
@GrantPaulsen I know the counter-argument is that teams haven't actually needed to run against us, so the numbers don't necessarily reflect a dominant run-stuffing D. But I am absolutely encouraged by what we've seen so far and feel that we are that good #Commanders#RaiseHail#HTTC#HTTR#NFL
@_RyanFowler_ Haven't felt this comfortable at the RT position in a LONG time. This kid is damn good. Still only 22. Should be a perennial pro bowler if he continues these performances #Commanders#RaiseHail#HTTC#HTTR#NFL
The Commanders have stuffed 29% of runs for no gain, 3rd best in the NFL. They've done a really good job against Saquon Barkley and Javonte Williams so far.
I was worried about how well they'd stop the run but it's a defensive strength so far.
