Washington’s focus against the Cowboys will be on the future, most notably at quarterback, with rookie Sam Howell set to make his debut.
The Commanders’ season finale Sunday at FedEx Field will mean something for the Dallas Cowboys. If they beat Washington and Philadelphia loses to the New York Giants, Dallas will win the NFC East.
After Howell, Washington probably will gain the most insight Sunday on its offensive line. This season, veteran guards Norwell and Trai Turner struggled in space and with pass-blocking, limiting the offense, and it’s possible the team could gain some clarity about their replacements. The most notable is Paul, a seventh-round pick from the University of Tulsa.
“My emotions are really excitement, anticipation, and [I’m] just blessed to have the opportunity to get out there on the field and showcase my talent,” Paul said, adding, “My expectations for myself are probably just to exceed [my] expectations.”In the past two months, in an effort to keep the best five linemen on the field, Washington has had Sam Cosmi split time between right guard and right tackle. Going forward, it could dedicate him to one position, right guard.
But Howell isn’t familiar with McLaurin and Samuel. On Wednesday, after Rivera named Howell the starter, Howell said he threw to them for the first time. He said McLaurin’s speed stood out, and he knows he needs to get Samuel the ball in space.
