"The Washington Commanders are 2-2 at the quarter mark of the 2025 NFL season. And make no mistake, the jury is still out on how the campaign will unravel. With star quarterback Jayden Daniels having only played in two games to this point, it's hard to make any declarative statements. Fans aren't panicking, but the Commanders have to come out of their tough stretch in the coming weeks with more to show for their efforts."
"Mike Sainristil has gotten off to a slow start after his promising rookie year, and Marshon Lattimore may be past the peak of his powers. He's fully healthy and has had a full offseason to familiarize himself with the defensive scheme. Yet, the four-time Pro Bowler still looks like a liability. Trery Amos, however, has primarily been a bright spot."
"Perhaps the biggest positional pleasant surprise in Washington has been the special teams unit (save for kicker Matt Gay). Punter Tress Way is still outstanding, the return coverage has been solid after looking like a disaster in the preseason, and the Commanders' returners have consistently gained chunks of yardage to provide their team with quality starting field position. Fourth-round rookie Jaylin Lane has been a significant part of that, most notably scoring a 90-yard punt return touchdown"
Washington Commanders are 2-2 with Jayden Daniels having played only two games, so definitive judgments remain premature. Fans are calm, but the team must produce better results soon. The rookie class included five draft picks and undrafted free agents, making most careers too early to label. Cornerback Mike Sainristil has struggled and veteran Marshon Lattimore appears past his peak despite being healthy. Second-round rookie Trey Amos has been a bright spot. Fourth-round rookie Jaylin Lane has boosted special teams, highlighted by a 90-yard punt return touchdown; punter Tress Way and returners have improved field position while kicker Matt Gay remains an exception.
