Transcript
00:00how much does what we saw on Sunday actually matter and you said it definitely matters that
00:05the Washington Commanders can win the NFC East because of you know the upheaval with the Eagles
00:12we've seen Daniel Jones obviously obviously struggle with the New York Giants the Cowboys
00:17their one cd lamb injury away in my opinion from just becoming a train wreck on offense
00:24and you in this article you say Jaden Daniels is the driving force behind
00:28commander's excitement so far this season and for good reason give us some of those reasons
00:33why everybody obviously is excited about Jaden. For Jaden Daniels coming into the draft there were
00:40a lot of questions I think in the public space people were asking does he take too many sacks
00:46when he gets pressured does he go through all of his reads will he be able to throw over the
00:51middle of the field and what's been so awesome is he's answered those questions so so directly on
00:57film where it doesn't sometimes doesn't matter what he says in the interview room because he's
01:02showing you on the field and it's an offense that I think coming into the year I think people
01:06certainly were concerned about Cliff Kingsbury but it is an offense that actually really loved
01:11the running game I think Anthony Lynn running game coordinator deserves a lot of credit where
01:15they're using different formations and helping just making things more manageable where Jaden
01:20Daniels is happy to throw some of those underneath throws if you're going to play off but he's going
01:24to go for the big shot play after play so certainly you know a stretch of the season that
01:29is going to test the Washington Commanders but thinking about how they perform so far and how
01:34everyone else in that division you look at the Eagles they have a lot of injuries on offense
01:38they have a lot of concerns on defense like you mentioned with the Cowboys they're you know
01:43searching for some more answers in their run defense and then also as you mentioned outside
01:47of C.D. Lamb they need to find a second pass catcher and you know the Giants are the Giants
01:52I'm from that area originally but I think we we see what's going on there as well so for if
01:58someone doubts that they win the division I would say you know I just don't think that's true because
02:02they really can push where they've shown that they can compete over and over and again they have a
02:08tough part of the schedule but looking around that division they're a team that has to be able to end
02:12the season on top.
