Week 2 Player Grades: Defense and Special Teams Commanders
Cody Barton and Jamin Davis, linebackers for the Washington Commanders, have had mixed performances so far. Barton has been out of position and has not excelled as a run-stopper or in coverage. Davis made a crucial hit that caused a fumble, but his role as an every-down linebacker seems unlikely. He may be better suited for playing on the edge in a 3-4 front. The Commanders cannot afford to have their linebacking corps become a weak link.
