With free agency a month away, I thought it was time to look at some potential free agent fits for the Commanders, starting with edge rushers: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...
Before diving into free agent fits for the Commanders, I'd watch a few games of some of the draft prospects most frequently mocked to Washington so far, including David Bailey, Rueben Bain and Caleb Downs. Here's my initial thoughts on them: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...
With the Commanders hiring Daronte Jones as their new defensive coordinator, who on the current roster could fit well into his new scheme and what positions might need to be addressed? I broke it all down: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...
The Commanders are hiring Vikings pass game coordinator Daronte Jones as their new defensive coordinator. What can we expect from Jones in Washington?
-Aggressive blitz packages
-Zone/Match coverages
-Shift to 3-4 base?
-3 Safety looks?

The Commanders promoted Darnell Stapleton to be their new offensive line coach. What could that mean for the run game going forward?
Stapleton has a history coaching zone runs and the Commanders personnel is well suited to it. I broke it all down: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...
I'm not sure the Commanders will be able to land Brian Flores as their new defensive coordinator. But if they are, what type of defense would he bring to Washington? I took a closer look: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...
We're expecting David Blough's Commanders offense to be heavily influenced by his time working under Ben Johnson. So what can Blough learn from Johnson's first year with Caleb Williams and apply to Jayden Daniels? I took a closer look: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...
While we don't know exactly what David Blough's Commanders offense will look like, one thing you can be sure of is there will be trick plays. I broke down Blough's influence with trick plays everywhere he's been and how it speaks to his overall creativity: open.substack.com/pub/markbull...
