It's a theory. I edited that take a bit, but I have been really curious if there is a correlation between a poor rush defence (particularly yards before contact) and injuries to the back seven. I think it makes sense when those lighter defenders are having to take on free blockers and runners with a head of steam that they will have a higher probability of getting injured. I also feel athletes tend to get injured when trying to do too much and playing out of position which is what happens when you have a poor run defence when defenders are getting blown off the line and out of their gap responsibilities. Guys end up trying to compensate for other guys being out of position or blowing assignments. When LBs and safeties are kept clean they can make tackles the way you want them to - having a clear path to the runner, and being able to square up on him vs fighting through a block and awkwardly trying to make an arm tackle. It will go a long way for this squad staying healthier if they can get the right guys in their run-stop packages and get back to trusting each other to do their 1/11th. All that being said, our run defence did an excellent job today and I think our DTs did a much better job today anchoring and being gap sound... will see what the all-22 says.

They could start for a few teams cleveland, raiders, saints, jets, maybe even the falcons certainly Minnesota

Shredding them downfield Perfect time to call a screen I guess

I mean, it’s a little hyperbolic, but the defense was great today. Benford even had more points. 🤷‍♂️what’s the issue

Sean Payton's face looks really punchable tonight

He and Winston might not have become great starters, but they are gamers.

Nice job by Washington of getting out of 3rd and 25

Mario-TAH is a very nice backup

Most of us are worried about this season more than the future, and Thompson is the better option at MLB. I agree that next year we should look at moving Bernard outside to replace Milano. Probably his best fit all along.

Right now Shaw is our best LB and he should be treated accordingly.

They’re going to have to figure out what to do with Addison and Mason too

Mariota is a very nice backup

I never understood why he was rated so highly coming out of Michigan.

Lmaoo refs just making up calls now. Twice in a row.

Ocean Clark is really anti-Commanders

League is going out of their way to ensure the Broncos don't manage to give this one away. Royal screwjob after screwjob.

Refs are absolutely atrocious today and even the announcers are calling them out

Absolutely brutal call Refs are actively screwing Washington

Yea this was a pretty bad screwjob

Ticky tacky call on wr now a grounding .. wow

Refs really want Denver to win

Land Clark determined to get this Broncos W

Agree with this part

^ this on top of another missed extra point. Going to haunt the Bills in the playoffs assuming they make it.

Our back up tackles looked decent today because we rarely threw downfield. Best way to answer a pass rush...runs and screens. And they did that. On pass plays, Allen had little time. We're not gonna be able to do that against many teams. Crap, until the scoop and score...and then a pick, 6 plays later, our offense had still only put up 3 points.
