The Commanders defense has struggled so far this season, but against the Giants, linebackers Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu stood out.
There is no hiding from the multiple issues the defense has right now, but I thought I would look at a positive performance from the Giants game. Linebackers Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu stood out against a solid rushing attack, despite not always being put in great positions schematically.
For years now in Washington, we’ve seen the linebacker group fail to back up the defensive line, leading to the run defense struggling. On Sunday against the Giants, we finally saw a pair of linebackers making numerous plays in the run game, particularly Bobby Wagner.
