MYSTERY: Why Sam Hartman Can’t LEAD the Commanders Offense—Insider Details Exposed for Fans!
Why isn’t Sam Hartman starting for the Washington Commanders? The quarterback mystery is solved: Hartman’s lack of reps in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense keeps him sidelined, as the team leans on Josh Johnson and newcomer Jeff Driskel to face the Dallas Cowboys. With Marcus Mariota injured and Jayden Daniels inactive, the Commanders shuffle their QB room, while Hartman takes on scout team duties. The locker room energy shifts with Driskel’s arrival and veteran presence—will he spark the offense?
Amid a challenging season, Washington boasts an elite red zone efficiency—scoring touchdowns on nearly 7 of 10 trips inside the 20—but rarely reaches the end zone, revealing a hollow stat masked by a conservative, horizontal passing attack. Key injuries like Sam Cosmi and Eddie Goldman further shake up the roster, prompting new additions including Jamal Agnew and Shy Tuttle. Can these strategic moves and fresh faces fuel a late-season surge against a high-powered, but fragile, Dallas Cowboys squad?
