"One of the more glaring flaws around the Commanders through two games centers on the right-hand side of their offensive line. First-round rookie Josh Conerly Jr. got a ton of heat, but right guard Nick Allegretti has been even worse without the hype attached. Commanders have benched Nick Allegretti in favor of Andrew Wylie for Week 3. That might have gone unnoticed by the casual viewer, but it wasn't going to get overlooked by the coaching staff."
"Washington has dealt with heavy pressure off the right side in two games, and [Andrew] Wylie - who has 88 career starts - is expected to step in to help stabilize things. Jayden Daniels has dealt with heavy pressure through two games, leading to a knee sprain. The team is being extra cautious, not wanting to make any sort of RG3-type mistake - something that's been mentioned in the building."
The Washington Commanders replaced right guard Nick Allegretti with veteran Andrew Wylie for Week 3 to address heavy pressure off the right side. Wylie brings 88 career starts and interior experience after two seasons at right tackle. Repeated pressure contributed to Jayden Daniels sustaining a knee sprain and prompted extra caution from the team. Marcus Mariota will start while the coaching staff experiments with the offensive line. The swap aims to stabilize protection for the quarterback, improve interior security for rookie Josh Conerly Jr., and correct a major concern on the right side.
