The Washington Commanders are coming off of a tough loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week, and they’re looking to rebound when they host the Carolina Panthers at Northwest Stadium.
The struggling 1-5 Panthers finally sat Bryce Young on the bench in favor of veteran Andy Dalton, and while it hasn’t panned out for them yet, Dalton’s experience will at least help Young learn how to run an offense in the NFL. Still, despite the Panthers’ struggles, there is one player the Commanders would steal from them this week: Cornerback Jaycee Horn.
Horn hasn’t been stellar this year, but he’s been good, and the Commanders’ secondary is struggling, ranking in the bottom half of the league. Perhaps Horn could take his game to the next level under the tutelage of Dan Quinn, who has been a coach in the NFL for over 20 years, and his defensive mindset could give Horn the tips he needs.
Panthers’ head coach, Dave Canales, is more offensive-minded and relies more on his defensive coaching staff to reach those players. But in Washington, that would be different.
This season, Horn has recorded 27 tackles (22 solo), six passes defensed, two stuffs for eight yards, and one interception. With Quinn building Horn’s skills over top of his talent, Horn would be a welcome addition to the Commanders’ secondary.
