"Tucker Kraft tore Joe Whitt Jr.'s defense apart at Lambeau Field, exposing a problem Brock Bowers and the Las Vegas Raiders can play on in Week 3. Bowers is an All-Pro who can get open at every level of the field. A 6-foot-4, 235-pounder who can body most defensive players in coverage and high-point the football without too much trouble."
"What the Commanders need is something better than middle linebacker Bobby Wagner in coverage. Changes must be made to the personnel and coverage schemes Washington uses to keep talented tight ends under wraps. Commanders' plan for Brock Bowers should revolve around Marshon Lattimore Fortunately, Whitt sounds ready to make the necessary adjustments. He saw his unit ripped apart by Kraft, to the tune of six catches, 124 receiving yards, and a touchdown."
Brock Bowers is a 6-foot-4, 235-pound All-Pro tight end who can get open at every level, body defenders in coverage, and high-point the football. Washington's defense struggled in Week 2 when Tucker Kraft exploited coverage, totaling six catches for 124 yards and a touchdown, revealing matchup vulnerabilities. The Commanders need improved personnel and coverage schemes rather than relying on Bobby Wagner in tight-end coverage. Defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. plans to treat Bowers like a receiver, which requires committing top cornerback Marshon Lattimore and scheme adjustments to limit Bowers as the Raiders' go-to target.
