As just mentioned on @team980 - #Commanders lost/let go of Kliff Kingsbury, Brian Johnson, Tavita Pritchard & Bobby Johnson (OL) + game mgt VP Dave Gardi last off-season, along with several defensive assistants -- they brought in DJ Williams from outside the walls & a couple of smaller assistants.
It should not be a surprise that they've struggled in so many areas. Everyone wants young & fresh, but experience matters.

Somehow JD5 became a game manager & not in a good way. The game plan is not nearly good enough

WSH decided to punt to LAR from the LAR 40* on 4th & 6* with 8:21 remaining in the 4th while losing 13 to 20.
With a Surrender Index of 123.03, this punt ranks at the 100th percentile of cowardly punts of the 2026 season, and the 99.9th percentile of all punts since 1999.

Against Florida, Kirby Smart & Glenn Schumann used a simulated pressure path from the Theismann/Orton family.
The scheme creates an internal alley while using a "pick" stunt opposite the pressure, allowing the Bulldogs to keep a light box.
The "Jack" play "action-to-coverage" and t if needed, or grab a route headed to the flat.
Georgia spiked their Run Blitz Rate to ~50%, and this pressure let them fit the run with just five defenders.
Pressure changed the math; execution killed the play.
My film review is only on MatchQuarters:

To survive the modern offense, defenses must kill the run from a light box, regardless of personnel.
Against Florida, Kirby Smart and Glenn Schumann gave us a masterclass on how to do this.
Georgia consistently attacked the RB with an early-down Tite Front simulated pressure.
nated cut-off for the RB's path and funnels the back to numbers.
The blitzing LB reads the Guard while the backside "Jack" uses "action-to-coverage" mechanics to force the cutback or drop into coverage.
The pressure lets the Bulldogs fit the box with five defenders while overloading the passing game with bodies.
Against the Gators, Georgia's odd-spacing schemes held Florida to 48 rushing yards and 1.7 YPC.

What makes this funnier is he has his game management guy behind him and the game management guy is carrying his version of the 4th down decision binder
We got @SteveKornacki walking down the hallway likes he’s about run out the tunnel to play Alabama

There is no defender in the league who has more alignment diversity than Nick Cross. Daronte Jones has him lined up all over the formation for the Commanders (Data from @SumerSports)

If teams want to trade for Pickens… he’s AUTOMATICALLY a rental because the structure doesn’t allow for a new long-term contract until after the season concludes
Teams have started to become curious about the availability of George Pickens, per @Schultz_Report
“The biggest name people are really starting to be curious about is George Pickens. He’s playing on the franchise tag, and has not been utilized the same way as last year.”
