Washington Football Team: Analyzing the team’s defensive line in 2021

Analyzing the Washington Football Team defensive line for 2021.

It’s no longer a secret.  The Washington Football Team has a strong defense and it is one of the best in football.  The best overall unit on Washington’s defense is undeniably the defensive line – a unit that is quickly becoming the talk of the league.

The defensive line depth is nothing short of superb and the Burgundy and Gold will enjoy another season of overwhelming success with this group of players.  They should be a major factor with any victories this season as Washington is likely to make another run at the NFC East division title.

The defensive line is poised to produce their best season thus far in 2021 and this unit should remain largely intact for the next five to seven seasons – possibly more.  It will put the entire league on notice that the Washington Football Team is here to stay and will be a force for many years to come.

With such talent along the line, many fans probably found it surprising to see the front office adding two linemen late in the draft earlier this month.  It’s a sound strategy for maintaining quality depth and having solid rotational players throughout each game.

Welcome back to our continuing series of looking at each unit on offense and defense during this offseason.  The defense has seen upgrades in the secondary and at linebacker.

Today’s analysis of the defensive line is admittedly an easy task.  The role of each player is clearly defined and simple to understand.  The analyses of special teams, linebackers, and the secondary were difficult, but today’s task feels like the pleasant, easy experience that rarely comes our way.  Let’s take a look!
