Commanders' short-term plan after Deatrich Wise Jr. injury may come in-house
"332 and 321. Those are the exact weights of the two offensive guards for both the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. If you want to know why Adam Peters gave Javon Kinlaw such a lucrative deal or why Eddie Goldman was signed in free agency, look no further than the Eagles' Landon Dickerson and Tyler Steen, and two of the other Tylers - Smith and Booker - who play for Dallas. Those are enormous, athletic men who can overpower opposing teams' interior linemen."
"Washington also got a little bit bigger outside. Deatrich Wise Jr. replaced Clelin Ferrell, providing about 10 extra pounds at defensive end. With the new arrival now out for the season after suffering a torn quad against the Green Bay Packers, defensive line coach Darryl Tapp will need to get some new players ready to step in for the steady veteran presence."
"Commanders could switch Johnny Newton to the edge after Deatrich Wise Jr.'s injury But Washington may want to try some in-house solutions in the short-term. Kinlaw was already lining up over the opposing tackle on about 25 percent of the snaps this season. Even without Wise, the Commanders can run a standard 3-4 with Goldman in the middle, flanked by Kinlaw and Daron Payne."
Two opposing divisional guards weigh 332 and 321 pounds, demonstrating the interior power Washington must counter. Javon Kinlaw and Eddie Goldman were added to provide more beef inside, combining with Daron Payne and others to match NFC East size. Deatrich Wise Jr. added roughly 10 pounds at defensive end but sustained a season-ending torn quad against Green Bay. The team promoted Jalyn Holmes from the practice squad and signed veteran Preston Smith to bolster the edge. Coaches can move Johnny Newton to the edge and still run a 3-4 with Goldman inside, flanked by Kinlaw and Payne.
