Ron Rivera said he won’t make any changes to his staff after Thursday’s embarrassing 40-20 loss to the Chicago Bears. And the Washington Commanders coach was adamant that it was too early in the season to make a dramatic overhaul.Instead, Rivera is again banking on the Commanders that he, his staff and players can make the adjustments necessary to cure the team’s surprising defensive woes.
The Commanders have been able to make adjustments in the past: The 2020 and 2022 seasons featured enough improvements that the defense finished as a top-10 unit by the end of the year. And even in 2021, when the Commanders ranked 22nd in yards allowed, there was a stretch in which the unit played significantly better.
So what exactly has gone wrong with the Commanders’ defense? A bit of everything. No problem, though, has been more glaring than the unit’s continued habit of giving up explosive plays. According to Stathead, the Commanders have surrendered six plays of at least 50 yards and 18 that have gone for at least 25. Those are both league highs, although there’s a caveat since that was calculated before Sunday’s action.
Rivera said the Commanders would have to examine whether to instruct players to stick solely to the techniques that coaches are teaching them — or whether they need to be more flexible to suit players’ preferences.
