While Washington's defensive line has struggled against the rush and pressure of the quarterback, losing Jonathan Allen for the season is still a significant loss to the group. Washington valued Allen as a run defender and pass rusher, so his loss has hampered their rotation. The team signed Carl Davis to their practice squad on Tuesday, but the primary stop gaps exist on the active roster. Lynell Willingham of 106.7 The Fan joined the Trap or Dive Podcast on Tuesday and gave his thoughts on what's next for the defensive line. While we are all uncertain about how better the line can get by the season's end, Lynell was impressed with Phidarian Mathis's performances over the last couple of games.
Can Phidarian Mathis and Johnny Newton step up in Jonathan Allen’s absence?
