Commanders' Josh Conerly passionately defends Washington's offensive line
Commanders right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. defends Washington's offensive line, calling some things a 'huge misconception.'
The Washington Commanders' offensive linemen must demonstrate their skills in the upcoming season. After poor performances in a preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens and a controlled scrimmage, the media has continued to question the unit. During an interview on Tuesday, second-year right tackle Josh Conerly Jr was asked about the external concerns.
Conerly responded, "I wouldn't say, personally, but I think it's a huge misconception because I know how much we work. I feel like there's only been so much put out there of the starters being out there at once." He explained that the first offensive unit only received three offensive snaps against the Lions in preseason Week 2.
The same issue occurred during the scrimmage, with the first unit not playing much. Conerly is right in pointing out that the first unit did not see much action in those games. He added, "I think it’s a huge misconception because I know how much we work. There’s only been so much put out there of the five being out there at once."
