Rams’ cornerback crisis gives Commanders a chance to exploit their own mistake

Dean Jones of Riggo's Rag argues that the Washington Commanders have an opportunity to exploit their former draft pick Emmanuel Forbes Jr. in Week 9 due to injuries in the Los Angeles Rams' secondary. Rams cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson are both dealing with injuries, which could thrust Forbes into a starting or expanded role against the team that waived him.

The writer believes Commanders offensive coordinator David Blough should aggressively target Forbes with receivers like Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams. Despite injuries to Washington's own receiving corps, including Terry McLaurin being out for the year, Jones suggests that attacking Forbes provides the Commanders with a major tactical advantage.
