The concern with being under center and running play-action, is that Jayden Daniels will be turning his back to the defense and these play-action shots do take a bit more time to develop. Whoever steps in at left tackle will need to make sure they are capable of protecting his blindside

Daniels faces blindside vulnerability under center; play-action timing risk without Tunsil.

Daniels faces increased protection challenges with Tunsil's loss. Under new offensive coordinator David Blough, the Commanders are expected to operate under center with heavy run-game focus and play-action, schemes where Daniels turns his back to the defense. The source notes that play-action shots take more time to develop, requiring the replacement left tackle to provide elite pass protection on the blindside. Blough's offense may need to employ creative play-calling with motions and shifts, keep tight ends in for blocking (reducing receiving threats), or use running back chips to keep Daniels upright.
