02Scheme fit
Ideal system
The Commanders run a gap/duo power run scheme, emphasizing strong interior blocking and downhill power running from their running backs.
Power backLead blockerGoal-line back
Best role
Rodriguez can immediately contribute as a short-yardage and goal-line specialist, with the ceiling to become a primary early-down grinder who can wear down defenses.
Wrong fit
He would be a poor fit in an outside zone-heavy scheme that requires shiftiness, burst, and the ability to consistently make cuts in space.
His physical, downhill running style, combined with his solid pass protection, makes him a good fit for a power-oriented rushing attack like Washington's.
