The offensive line has been one of the major topics for Commanders’ fans throughout the first five months of Adam Peters’ top to bottom roster “recalibration”. A disproportionate amount of attention has been focused on the situation at offensive tackle.
Earlier this offseason, I did a deep dive into the Commanders’ issues in pass protection in 2023. The analysis showed that left guard was actually the weakest position on the Commanders’ offensive line last season, allowing 64 pressures compared to 62 credited to the right tackles. That is remarkable, because guards usually allow lower Pressure Rates in pass protection than offensive tackles.
