4 concerning worst-case scenarios for the Commanders in 2024

Commanders OL remains inconsistent

If there was anything worse than the quarterback play in 2023, it was the offensive line. It was the Washington Commanders' biggest weakness, which is saying a lot given the state of their defense.

There have been changes made. Among them, the Commanders have signed a former Kansas City Chiefs guard looking to become a starter for the first time, a former Dallas Cowboys center who is middle of the pack and will likely be taking a quarterback in the first round instead of going for a supreme blindside protector like Notre Dame's Joe Alt.

The Commanders have Andrew Wylie, who somehow only gave up nine sacks last year, in a position similar to where he was under Ron Rivera. The interior should be solid, but the edge remains a significant concern.

Unless the new regime has further plans, it seems as if they may be putting forth a merely serviceable group this year instead of the one Commanders fans are hoping to see dominate NFC East defensive lines. This could bring complications to their new rookie signal-caller.

If Nick Allegretti fails to cement himself as the team's starting left guard, or if Dan Quinn made a mistake by bringing along Tyler Biadasz, the Commanders could find themselves with a line that will give them no hope of reaching for the division title.
