On Wednesday, the Washington Commanders finally got the outside test they have been waiting for, and Daronte Jones' defense responded by disrupting Miami's offense for much of the joint practice session. Having now gone against an opposing offense, instead of its own for the last ten practices, Washington can now measure their talent against unfamiliar competition.Commanders cornerback Amik Robertson told WUSA9's Marshall Kramsky afterward that Washington's defense went into the session expecting to impose itself on the Dolphins rather than hoping to discover if its success from camp was real.Robertson’s point was not simply celebrating one good practice; he was describing the mentality he wants the defense to carry whenever another offense lines up across from it.The confidence Robertson displayed was backed up by play on the practice field as Mike Sainristil returned an interception for a touchdown, while K’Lavon Chaisson, Odafe Oweh, Daron Payne, and Joshua Josephs repeatedly created problems in Miami’s backfield. Washington’s defense carried the performance through the end of practice, with Chaisson generating another would-be sack and Oweh forcing an incompletion during the final two-minute period before Miami was kept out of the end zone.The bigger picture here is that Jones’ pressure-heavy, disguise-based approach can create the same confusion against an offense that has not spent all summer practicing against it. While Washington wanted some outside confirmation, Miami is only one team, and not one that is expected to be very good this year. Friday's preseason opener now becomes the new gauging checkpoint for those who do play.The kicking competition got back on track Wednesday, with both kickers going 6-for-6, making field goals from 33, 38, 43, 48, 52, and 60 yards. The 60-yarder represents the longest kick of camp by either kicker. Wednesday's resurgence helps Jake Moody the most; his recent misses had allowed Stevens to build a stronger overall camp résumé.
