The Washington Commanders improved remarkably under Adam Peters, transforming a struggling team into an NFC championship contender after overhauling the roster. Key acquisitions included Deebo Samuel Sr. for the wide receiver position, Laremy Tunsil for the offensive line, and cornerback Trey Amos from the draft. However, the team still faced a significant gap on defense, particularly in edge rushing, despite generating 43 sacks last season. With a high blitz percentage but ineffective overall pressure rates, the Commanders need to address these issues going forward to enhance their defensive strength.
Though Washington did get opposing quarterbacks on the ground 43 times, their pressure rate, which combines sacks along with hits and hurries, was toward the lower echelons.
Peters needed a reliable second option at wide receiver. In comes Deebo Samuel Sr. The offensive line was still a work-in-progress, and with the loss of star guard Sam Cosmi, the need to beef up the front grew even larger.
