Locked On Redskins

The 2025 Commanders are an offensive juggernaut between the 20-yard lines, but they consistently self-destruct in high-leverage moments.This episode dissects the "Middle 80 Paradox" affecting the Washington offense. We analyze how the unit dominates open field yardage (ranking 4th in rushing) but vanishes in the Red Zone, going 0-for-3 in Madrid. We break down the "killer stat"—a -8 turnover margin—and Marcus Mariota's catastrophic OT decision.Plus, the defense has regressed to 2024 levels, with the edges becoming "turnstiles" for opposing running backs. We end with a Stock Report: Buying Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Bobby Wagner, but selling Matt Gay and the team's lack of discipline.BECOME A LOCKED ON COMMANDERS INSIDER: https://joinsubtext.com/lockedoncommandersHost David Harrison covers the Washington Commanders for WUSA9 and Sports Illustrated.Follow David on X: https://twitter.com/DHarrison82
