The Washington Commanders offense is in an identity crisis, but is the improved defense enough to keep the team afloat after a tough loss to the Green Bay Packers?On today's episode, we break down why the Commanders offense looks fundamentally broken after two games. We analyze the Jekyll and Hyde performance of the offensive line, the collapse in pass protection that has Jayden Daniels under constant pressure, and the team's significant regression on third down.It's not all bad news, however. We dive into the most legitimate reason for optimism: a drastically improved interior run defense that has fixed the team's biggest flaw from 2024. But is that progress being undermined by old habits on the perimeter and a complete inability to generate a single takeaway? Finally, we look at the costly mistakes plaguing the team, from a crippling lack of discipline to a failing kicking game, and update our player stock watch.#Commanders#WashingtonCommanders#NFL#JaydenDaniels

Can the Commanders' dominant run game overcome the Packers' elite defense, or will penalties be their undoing at Lambeau Field in this Week 2 showdown?On today's game plan episode of Locked On Commanders, we break down the Thursday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

The Commanders' massively improved interior run defense matches up perfectly against a Packers ground game that struggled mightily in their opener. The real test will be for the secondary, as the unit showed vulnerability to the deep pass in 2024 and in
