As the initial injury reports of the week indicate the offensive line is getting back to being fully healthy, BMitch and JP explain why a healthy offensive line is the key to the Commanders getting back to their offensive output from the first half of the season.

00:00I think what's far more important though frankly than the week of practice and all the little
00:06things that we're going to get caught up in is the offensive line is fully healthy and nobody's
00:13on the injury report. Got to talk to Biadish at length yesterday. He said he feels good.
00:20Brian Robinson said the hamstring feels good. I mean dude I'm looking at the injury report
00:25from yesterday. You got three DNPs, Latimore and Belor. Those guys probably aren't playing this
00:32week. Let's just be honest. Maybe they come back. Zach Ertz got a DNP for rest. That's kind of
00:37become his standard situation. I would expect that he's back today and then there's not a single
00:47offensive lineman on the report. Brandon Coleman is on there with a thumb but as a full participant.
00:54I think that is tremendously important news for a team that's starting with the Steelers and then
01:00in the Eagles. The Steelers they were getting beat on the inside. The Eagles they were getting
01:06beat kind of everywhere and I think injuries were a massive factor and I think listen Micah Parsons
01:13is on the field Sunday. He's a legit player and makes a big difference but they've gone up against
01:20Miles Garrett and TJ Watt this year too and held those guys sackless. I think they can scheme that
01:26up but the scheming up only works when you've got healthy players. Do you care more about a
01:34full week of practice or that the O-line appears to be backing in business? I like the fact that
01:41the O-line is back but you know what though? I like the fact that they're back because I think
01:45they are the reason that the offense was looking so good early and that people like to choose the
01:53skilled position players but the offensive line gave them time. They gave them holds. They gave
01:58the ability to do the things they wanted to do. I believe if they're healthy and you got your
02:04week of practice back you got some good stuff about to happen.
