"Getting someone with Tunsil's credentials changes everything. He's among the league's elite pass protectors - someone capable of locking down Jayden Daniels' blindside and giving the dynamic signal-caller extra time in the pocket to make plays. After a strong summer, Commanders fans got their first real taste of this in Week 1 against the New York Giants. Tunsil was almost flawless."
"He lost a couple of times versus the Giants' exceptional defensive front, but it was largely pleasing aside from that. The former Ole Miss standout put on a clinic, earning a sensational 84.1 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus. This ranked sixth league-wide among 81 qualifying offensive tackles. There was also a lot to like about Tunsil's run blocking, which was a slight worry."
"The Commanders need Tunsil firing on all cylinders and then some on Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. Their pass-rushing trio of Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness, and newly acquired All-Pro Micah Parsons caused the Detroit Lions endless complications in Week 1 en route to a dominant win. With rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. entering only his second NFL game, the experienced edge enforcer must shut down his end of the bargain."
Laremy Tunsil was acquired from the Houston Texans to anchor the Commanders' offensive line and protect Jayden Daniels' blindside. He delivered an outstanding Week 1 performance against the New York Giants, earning an 84.1 Pro Football Focus pass-blocking grade that ranked sixth among qualifying tackles. Tunsil showed strong run-blocking despite some concerns. The upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers presents a stern test, with a pass-rushing trio of Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness, and Micah Parsons expected to pressure the edge. With rookie Josh Conerly Jr. at right tackle, Tunsil will face frequent one-on-one matchups and must dominate.
