The 2024 Washington Commanders were not good at stopping the run. First year defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. had his work cut out for him with a makeshift group of aging veterans and unproven young players.
The Results:
- 30th in rush yards allowed - 2,337
- 4.8 yards per carry allowed (third worst in NFL)
- 18 rushing touchdowns (tied for seventh worst in NFL)
To say things could not get much worse would be a fairly accurate statement.
Adam Peters set out to fix the run defense this offseason.
