Javon Kinlaw is often mistakenly associated with the 'elephant end' role, which originated in the Dan Quinn/Seahawks defensive strategy. While Kinlaw, at 319 pounds, certainly has the size reminiscent of the position, his function on the Commanders does not align with the traditional definition. The misunderstanding stems from a podcast reference to Red Bryant's role, which contributed to erroneous perceptions among fans and media. The 'elephant end' is not merely the biggest lineman; instead, it emphasizes run-stopping abilities rather than pass-rushing duties.
Javon Kinlaw, although a large player, does not fit the Seattle's 'elephant end' role as previously misunderstood by fans and media.
The 'elephant end' position is often misinterpreted; it is not merely about size, but a specific defensive role focusing on run-stopping.
