Through two weeks, Washington's defense has stuffed 29% of runs for no gain, third-best in the NFL, but still allows explosive passes and has forced no turnovers under coordinator Daronte Jones. The film review cites coverage breakdowns against Dallas.
The review credits faster, stronger front play for creating tackles for loss and no-gain runs. It highlights Daron Payne shedding a blocker for a tackle, Javon Kinlaw controlling his block at the point of attack, Nick Cross' quick penetration for a loss, and Tim Settle holding firm against a combo block.
Against Dallas, receivers got open at multiple levels; the review says several plays involved communication failures, defenders losing track of receivers in zone coverage and poor positioning. It says the problems extended beyond struggling cornerbacks Mike Sainristil and Jartavius Martin, while giving Dak Prescott credit for his throws.
