The preseason opener provided a promising first look at how the Commanders run game could work this season
The Washington Commanders preseason opener against the Jets provided us with a first look at what the Kliff Kingsbury offense might look like this season. Obviously, the Commanders aren’t going to show their whole offense in preseason and they weren’t game planning specific schemes and concepts for the Jets defense, but they also aren’t going to be running plays that they haven’t been installing in camp with the intent to use in the regular season.
One of the things that stood out to me when watching the All-22 footage of the game was the amount of zone run schemes and how nicely layered together they were.
