you can read my work on ESPN.com. I have a story up now about the state of the offensive line

and why this year could be a lot

different than last year. And I think we saw some of that tonight in Washington's 13 to

six loss to the Miami Dolphins. The final score doesn't matter. It's just about things that

you're seeing, right? And I think I'll get to some of that in the minute. But I do want to start with Jaden Daniels.

But before I get there, let's talk about like the commanders had a bunch of guys who didn't play.

The Dolphins did as well, Tariq Hill, Jaila Maudel for Washington.

Among the starter types, it was Jonathan Allen, Duran Payne, Bobby Wagner. They did not play Cleland Farrell, did not play.

Zach Gertz was out because his wife is having a baby. Brandon Coleman remains out with the

peck injury. And then also Marcus Marriott, Sam Hartman, Dante Fowler Jr. They were out.

George McGee, we still don't know the extent of his injury, hoping to have

an update, a final update on that on Monday. Anyway, and then Johnny Newton also still out because he

hasn't been in. So anyway, just that's to say that you take everything with a grain of salt,

or just you take everything in perspective here. But I want to start with Jaden Dehams because he had another really good game.

And it's not like he's putting up these unbelievable numbers and doing, you know,

four touchdowns this game.

It's just what he's showing.

And it's a trace that he shows that I really, really like.
