"Whitt provided some hints to the media before the clash. And there was one notable development that went down exceptionally well among the team's passionate supporters. Commanders plan to get Jordan Magee more involved on the defensive rotation The defensive coordinator revealed that the Commanders are planning to get linebacker Jordan Magee more involved in the rotation. It's something Whitt has been reluctant to do so far, despite the struggles of Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu."
"Magee is fast, athletic, and instinctive. He doesn't have anything like the same experience as others in the linebacker room, which can lead to some naivety. At the same time, it's not like things can get much worse, so perhaps a bit of recklessness and physicality is precisely what the defense needs to reignite its spark. The Commanders saw something in the 2024 fourth-round pick, and he looked set to become an integral part of the rotation as a rookie."
Washington's defense has struggled again while the offense fails to mask deficiencies this season, prompting calls for change. Head coach Dan Quinn hinted at adjustments after a humbling loss to Dallas, and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. signaled a personnel shift. The team plans to involve rookie linebacker Jordan Magee more heavily in the rotation to add explosiveness at the second level. Magee offers speed, athleticism, and instincts but lacks experience and has dealt with a knee injury and summer health issues. Magee has only played 10 percent of defensive snaps to date, with increased playing time expected.
