Washington Commanders WR Jahan Dotson ‘Back to Doing What I Know I Can Do’
After some early-season troubles, Washington Commanders second-year receiver Jahan Dotson has improved his play. Jahan Dotson of the Washington Commanders is on the cusp of reaching several important career milestones, including breaking the 1,000-yard receiving mark after the last two weeks.
Unfortunately, the Commanders receiver has already established a career high in dropped passes, which he has been working on as quarterback Sam Howell and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy have remained confident in him.
“Whenever I’m kind of going through tough times or when things feel off I go back to when I was having success and really hone in on details I was doing to make sure I have that success,” Dotson went on to say. “I was watching college film and seeing some of the creative plays I had and different types of routes I was running, as well as the creativity I was using just to get open.” Then returning to normal rituals, such as getting on the jugs (machine) every day. “Small things.”
Despite everything Dotson and his team have been through, and despite their losing record as we enter mid-November football, Washington is currently ranked ninth in the NFC Playoffs. A 5-3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10 puts the Commanders on a much better platform, and another good effort from Dotson could be the difference.
