Kliff Kingsbury on Washington's D-line: "When you turn on the tape, it definitely gives you anxiety as you watch them harass Carson."

If there was one major takeaway from Washington’s season-opening win over the Philadelphia Eagles, it’s that their defensive line is nothing to mess with. After putting QB Carson Wentz into the ground a total of 8 times on the day, the front line proved that they can make their presence felt in the backfield, and any quarterback looking to stand in the pocket is likely going to need to have a backup plan in case the walls come closing in.
Luckily for Arizona, they have Kyler Murray, a young and dynamic player who is growing his reputation as one of the most elusive players in the entire NFL. As an example of just how good Murray is at avoiding sacks, in his three career games against San Francisco’s DE Nick Bosa, Murray is yet to be sacked by the former No. 2 overall pick out of Ohio State.
Will things be different this week around when Chase Young and his merry band of forme first-round picks come calling? One can only hope, but it’s good to know that the Cardinals coach is at least losing a little bit of sleep over the matchup.
