"In the middle of the chaos, one rookie is quietly establishing himself as one of the Commanders' best young defenders. We're just seven weeks into the season, but second-round draft pick Trey Amos already looks like the best cornerback on the team. Trey Amos is quietly becoming Commanders' top cornerback Even in a game where Washington allowed over 400 yards of total offense and 257 yards through the air, Amos looked like a quality cornerback."
"The same can't be said for Marshon Lattimore. The veteran cornerback struggled all game long, allowing multiple big plays down the field and committing a couple of costly penalties. Prescott seemed to be targeting him whenever he got the chance. Both leading receivers were beating him on their routes, but Pickens had a field day against him. The big wideout beat Lattimore on a couple of contested catches."
The Washington Commanders' defense is faltering after a heavy loss to the Dallas Cowboys that saw 44 points allowed and over 400 yards of offense. Rookie second-round pick Trey Amos has stood out, showing strong coverage and limiting explosive plays despite facing elite receivers George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb. Amos consistently stuck with targets and forced Dak Prescott to look elsewhere. Veteran Marshon Lattimore struggled, surrendering big plays and committing penalties while being targeted repeatedly. The contrast between Amos' rise and Lattimore's collapse suggests a changing pecking order at cornerback for the Commanders.
