ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota starts against the Seattle Seahawks with Jayden Daniels out, but David Blough shouldn’t give his veteran quarterback a restricted offense. Mariota knows the system, his teammates trust his command of it, and his history against Seattle’s preferred zone coverages says Washington can keep the full offensive menu available. The bigger concern is whether the Commanders can protect him against a four-man rush designed to control the game without blitzing.
Then, why winning early downs matters more than simply establishing the run, how Washington can stress Seattle’s injured secondary without becoming reckless, and why a Commanders defense missing key pieces must finally turn its pressure into takeaways.
Host David Harrison covers the the Commanders Commanders for the Locked On network and for WUSA9 as a digital beat reporter.
