"Currently out with high ankle sprain. Washington's offense is a moving target because Jayden Daniels turns dropbacks into field trips. He's been sacked 14 times, which is middle of the pack and the Commanders just coughed up three turnovers on Monday night after juggling injuries up front. That's the kind of environment where a high-motor edge like Ezeiruaku can really shine."
"The issue holding Ezeiruaku from having free reign here is Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The Commanders running back gives them a real downhill threat and he's at 344 yards on 60 carries this year, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Add Daniels' 176 rushing yards and that's a recipe that keep's Ezeiruaku having to hold his rush lines and set the edge."
"Currently on Non-Football injury list (NFI) Blue's tape has been light so far since taking over from Miles Sanders, and that lack of usage slows a rookie trying to find rhythm. You can see the traits, but the touches have been scattered enough that a couple of two-yard runs and a checkdown tackle short of the sticks end up defining his tape so far."
"Toia had trouble winning the first inch of the rep, which is everything against a run-heavy script. His pad level wasn't consistent, his hands landed late or outside, and double-teams walked him back at times way too easily for a guy his size. On inside zone runs he chased laterally way too far, opening the lanes that Dowdle happily bent into."
Ezeiruaku is sidelined with a high ankle sprain but matches well with Washington's disruptive offense, where Jayden Daniels frequently turns dropbacks into long scrambles. Daniels has been sacked 14 times and the Commanders recently lost three turnovers amid injuries on the offensive line. Jacory Croskey-Merritt provides a strong downhill running threat (344 yards on 60 carries, 5.7 YPC), forcing Ezeiruaku to maintain rush lines and set the edge. Blue is on the Non-Football Injury list with limited tape and inconsistent touches that hinder rhythm despite visible traits. Toia struggled to win the line of scrimmage, while Conerly shows promising, coachable development.
