Bobby Johnson, the offensive line coach for the Washington Commanders, was formerly the offensive line coach for the Buffalo Bills and the New York Giants.
It will be largely determined by how well the offensive line plays for the Washington Commanders in 2024 whether the offense can advance and maybe prepare a rookie quarterback for success.
Bobby Johnson, the offensive line coach, is in charge of enhancing the offensive side of the ball’s trenches. Kliff Kingsbury, the offensive coordinator for the Commanders, mentioned how impressed he was with Johnson’s work as offensive line coach for the Buffalo Bills (2019–2021) and New York Giants (2022–2023), citing his ability to run the ball with quarterbacks John Allen and Daniel Jones.

“He’s visited many amazing locations. I had the pleasure of working with some of the best offensive teams in Buffalo, including Josh Allen’s team. I was impressed by their inventiveness, their use of the run game, their tempo, and other unique elements. After that, join the Giants, and in your first season there, make the playoffs alongside Daniel Jones. From a distance, I was impressed with his self-management skills and some of the things he accomplished in the run game, which received great feedback from Dan and other professionals I truly trust in the field. Thus, everything turned out well.
With 65 sacks allowed last season, the Commanders barely fell short of the Giants, who gave up 85 sacks. Although the Giants’ poor performance is concerning, their offensive line suffered a great deal of injuries. Left tackle Andrew Thomas, a 2022 second-team All-Pro, missed seven games in the previous campaign. Tommy DeVito, a rookie quarterback who appeared in nine games, was sacked 37 times, which was partly due to his lack of pocket presence.
After the Giants’ 2023 season, Johnson was dismissed due to the offensive line’s difficulties. Their ability to carry the ball was one thing the Giants did well in his first season; they finished fourth in rushing yards per game (148.2).
The Commanders’ offensive performance will be largely dependent on Johnson’s capacity to strengthen the offensive line. The success of Kingsbury and the rest of the offense will be greatly enhanced if he can learn from his experience with the Giants.
