""I'm glad Jordan Magee is playing well. I'm glad Chris Rodriguez Jr. is playing well. Where have they been? That is my frustration. With all the receivers that are down, you would think, well, the offensive line is the healthiest group on the team. Your running back room is one of the healthiest on the team. Yet you're not leaning into their strengths. Is it fair to judge Kliff [Kingsbury] because he's without his starting quarterback, and he's without his starting wide receivers?""
"Kingsbury's unit has regressed this season. There are mitigating circumstances behind their slump, but the play-caller's scheme is once again getting found out after taking the NFL by storm in 2024. He has also come under fire for his personnel usage. Missing so many key men isn't ideal, but some sections of the fan base have noticed hesitancy to ride the hot hand and a lack of adjustments to what is unfolding during games from week to week."
Washington Commanders offensive performance has regressed under offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury despite his influence. The offensive scheme that rose to prominence in 2024 is being exposed, and personnel usage has drawn criticism. Injuries to multiple wide receivers have left the offense undermanned, yet the coaching staff has shown hesitation to lean into the productive running back room and adjust play-calling. Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Jordan Magee emerged as effective rushers, but their usage remained limited during pivotal stretches, such as Week 11 against the Dolphins. Observers point to a lack of in-game adjustments and reluctance to ride hot performers as key issues.
