As the Washington Commanders return to Ashburn, VA for Phase 3 of offseason activities, defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr discusses the evolution of the defense into its second year. With significant personnel changes, including the release of Jonathan Allen and the addition of DL Javon Kinlaw, the team aims for stronger performance after reaching the NFC Championship game. Whitt emphasizes the importance of size and leadership as they implement new strategies, notably with linebacker packages, highlighting talent development among players like Jordan Magee and effective communication with veterans like Marshon Lattimore.
"Adding size and length were goals this offseason and that DT Javon Kinlaw epitomizes that approach, same with CB Trey Amos in the secondary."
"We want to incorporate more three LB packages versus nickel to shore up against the run, which Jordan Magee can significantly contribute to this year."
