The Washington Commanders second-year cornerback should benefit from a scheme that fits his talents better.
The Washington Commanders' offseason overhaul included not only a massive turnover on the roster but on the coaching staff as well.
One player who should benefit greatly from this shift in strategy is cornerback Emmanuel Forbes who struggled mightily in his rookie season earning him the first-round bust label by many outsiders before he even got a quarter of the way through his rookie contract.Nov 5, 2023; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Washington Commanders cornerback Emmanuel Forbes celebrates during the first half against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
It made sense, in theory, because Washington was one of the worst team's - and really has been for a little while - in creating those game-changing moments where the defense rips the heart of an offensive opponent and creates scoring opportunities for their own. Playing in man coverage 30 percent of the time Forbes earned a 62.5 grade which is not great, but significantly better, and had seven passes defensed. In fact, nearly 30 percent of the targets Forbes faced while in man coverage ended with him breaking up the play.
The difference between Forbes and those two is they played in an aggressive man-heavy scheme, so they got to flex those man coverage skills much more often.None of this is intended, or even should, excuse Forbes from the improvements he needs to make as a player. But how he uses the skills he has can be improved. By him, and by the coaching staff responsible for putting him in position to weaponize the skills he does have.
