Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin’s Honest Take on the Lack of Offensive Execution

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin’s Honest Take on the Lack of Offensive Execution

I’m looking Washington Commanders‘ Box score from their Week 11 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, you’d think both the offense and defense were having a hard time containing their opponents.

However, looking at the game flow, it is clear that CommandersThe defense was excellent until running out of gas late in the game, with the offense not only failing to move the ball but also failing to secure the team’s eighth win of the season.

“The defense did a great job” washington receiver Terry McLaurin said after the 26-18 loss to the Eagles. “And if you let a team stall and don’t take advantage of the opportunities we have on offense, the offense will eventually make plays. So yeah, I don’t think we did a good job today.”

It was an honest approach from one of the team’s most respected members and someone who had his fair share of losing on the team.

While the Commanders struck the first blow of the game on a one-yard touchdown pass to running back Brian Robinson Jr., the offense also went three-and-out on three of the first four possessions and failed to punt on four of the first five possessions. Scoring points on a total of five drives before halftime.

Meanwhile, Washington’s defense held Philadelphia to just three points on three field goal attempts. McLaurin was restrained without any problems as he made his way to the locker room at halftime. Of course, it’s hard to make a catch without a target, and the star receiver didn’t catch his first target until 11:11 of the third quarter.

He didn’t make his first catch until there was 10:34 left in the game.

When asked about the lack of targets and catches, McLaurin said, “There was nothing they did that I wasn’t expecting; neither were we.” “The ball did not come to me”

This one catch was good for 10 yards and was his only catch all night. That stat line alone identifies a major focal point for the team to address and resolve during the long break between Week 11 and 12 contests.

Of course, that’s not the only case, and McLaurin emphasized the importance of each player doing their part to make sure the team comes together and focuses on addressing deficiencies and getting a big win against the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday afternoon.
