CBS Sports took a stab at ranking the offensive infrastructure for all 32 NFL teams and the Washington Commanders came in predictably low.
NFL offenses are always evolving. The running game used to be the go-to once upon a time, then it became important to throw the ball down the field, and now it's important to not only have an elite quarterback but also to have a balanced attack as a whole to keep defenses guessing.The Commanders' offense could put up points last season, but they struggled to find much if any consistency.
based on the quality of the team's QB and the pieces around him including the play-caller , offensive line, pass-catchers , and running backs. Each position received a weighted grade from 1-5 with 1 being the lowest rating and 5 being the highest.

Per CBS' rankings, the Commanders' offense falls in Tier 5 where they are ranked as the 26th overall team in the NFL according to their ranking system. Washington almost received all average grades or higher in all categories but fell short when it came to their offensive line, receiving just a grade of 2.5. Their QB received a 3 as did their play-calling, while they received 3.5's for their pass-catchers and running backs.
The biggest concern for the Commanders is clearly their offensive line. Last season it seemed like former QB Sam Howell was having to escape the pocket well before he even had a chance to look downfield. They did do a little work on it this offseason, but it will be imperative to keep their young rookie clean to give him time to utilize his special abilities. Outside of that, it is hard to imagine the Commanders' offense not being one of the more elite groups in the league next season.
