Bleav in Commanders

No Jayden Daniels in London. Scott Jackson and former Washington WR Anthony Armstrong go live the Friday before kickoff to break down what changes with Marcus Mariota under center against Lou Anarumo's rotating-safety defense, and what Frankie Luvu and Chig Okonkwo's returns mean for this matchup. Plus: the strength-on-strength battle between Washington's run defense and Jonathan Taylor, how to handle DeForest Buckner up front, Tyler Warren off play action, Austin Ekeler's impact, special teams keys, and the numbers that show why 2-2 vs. 1-3 changes everything.
