"Much of the attention around Washington's offensive line capitulation against the Green Bay Packers centered on rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. The No. 29 pick looked like a fish out of water in the face of Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary. When blocking tight end John Bates went out of the game with a groin issue, there was no help. And he was floundering without a safety net."
"Upon further examination of the game film, there was another big problem. Nick Allegretti was nothing short of woeful, especially in pass protection. He wasn't capable of providing Conerly with adequate assistance - he was barely treading water himself. The Commanders are greatly missing the presence of Sam Cosmi. He's still working his way back from a torn ACL and will miss the next two games at least."
Washington enters Week 3 at a crossroads after a 1-1 start, making early consistency essential for head coach Dan Quinn. The Las Vegas Raiders visit while one veteran faces a potential last-chance test. Rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. struggled badly against Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary, especially after tight end John Bates left with a groin issue. Nick Allegretti was particularly poor in pass protection and failed to aid Conerly. Sam Cosmi remains out recovering from a torn ACL and will miss at least two more games. A move of Andrew Wylie to the interior is a possible adjustment to stabilize protection.
