The Washington Commanders have focused on enhancing the size of their defensive line after losing key players in free agency. By signing heavier defensive tackles and ends, they aim to bolster their run defense, which ranked poorly last season. With players like Javon Kinlaw, Eddie Goldman, and Carl Davis joining the team, the Commanders seek to address their weak run-stopping abilities that had them at the bottom of the NFL rankings. Defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. highlights the commitment to building a stronger, longer, and faster front as essential to their evolving vision for improved performance.
"We wanted to get bigger and longer, and we definitely did that up front," defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. said ahead of Wednesday's workout.
The Commanders closed the season ranked third against the pass with 189.5 yards allowed per game but were near the bottom in stopping the run.
