Breaking down the positives and negatives of the Commanders aggressive style when it comes to run defense.
The Bucs finished the game with 30 total carries for 112 yards at 3.7 yards per carry. Compared to the passing defense, that’s a strong performance, but I thought the style the Commanders used was noteworthy. In the passing game, head coach Dan Quinn and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. are known for their aggressive blitzes and playing plenty of man coverage behind it. Their mentality is if they commit to blitzing properly, they’ll force the ball out quickly and enable aggressive corners to jump underneath throws and create turnovers.
