To be clear, the Washington Commanders already needed their defense to be significantly improved this season. Nonetheless, the pressure for that to come to fruition just increased exponentially.
That’s because the loss of Laremy Tunsil lowers the ceiling for the offense. As much as the Commanders believe in offensive coordinator David Blough’s scheme, a healthy season from Jayden Daniels and the addition of talented pass catchers in Stefon Diggs and Chig Okonkwo to help the unit improve, sustained offensive success still begins with the offensive line.
