Back to EpisodesCommanders' Defensive Struggles: A Looming Crisis
Published 1 month ago
Description
The Washington Commanders face a critical challenge in hiring a defensive coordinator, with top candidates preferring head coaching roles elsewhere. Their defense, led by Dorance Armstrong and Bobby Wagner, struggled in 2025, allowing six yards per play. The team hopes to improve with the seventh overall draft pick, potentially targeting edge rushers like Miamis Rueben Bain Junior. Head coach Dan Quinns future is uncertain, and the team is considering Bears defensive backs coach Al Harris as a fallback.
