5 takeaways from Commanders' joint practice with Ravens
Five thoughts from the Commanders' joint practice with the Ravens.
The Commanders faced a difficult joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens, missing several key players from their offensive line. The absence of left tackle Laremy Tunsil, center Nick Allegretti, and right guard Sam Cosmi hampered the Commanders’ offensive line, which struggled against the Ravens' talented front. GM Adam Peters faced scrutiny for his decision-making, particularly in the center position.
Chris Paul, who had a strong NFL season before re-signing with the Commanders, showed his deficiencies in pass protection without Tunsil. The running game also struggled, highlighting the importance of play-action in Washington's new offense. Despite the setbacks, the pass rush remained solid, even without starting edge rushers.
Young players Quan Martin and Mike Sainristil showed improvement, with Martin intercepting a pass and Sainristil picking off Lamar Jackson, suggesting potential for rebound seasons.
