Marshon Lattimore has taken some heavy criticism once again this season. There have been some good moments from the cornerback, but the Washington Commanders were expecting much more from this substantial trade investment.
Lattimore can be a genuine shutdown presence when in the mood. He's also a liability against quicker wide receivers, displaying a lack of explosiveness and poor technique that often results in defensive holding penalties. This is a bad combination, and the Commanders' secondary is suffering accordingly.
The former Ohio State standout is not the only player struggling to find consistency, but he's held to a higher standard.
