Jayden Daniels was able to make free rushers miss and create big plays under pressure in the Commanders win over the Browns
Daniels was blitzed on more than half of his dropbacks but was 8/12 for 150 yards in those situations, per NFL Pro pic.twitter.com/HKwQIMnHU8

Washington ranks 3rd in red zone plays run; tied for 2nd w/13 TDs in the RZ and have the most rushing attempts in this area. A diverse rushing attack has fueled the success: Daniels, Robinson, McNichols have rushed for TDs in RZ. TD catches in RZ: McLaurin, Trent Scott

Three QBs who were viewed as “dream gets” for the #Commanders in their 2022 QB search that resulted in the trade for Carson Wentz:
Aaron Rodgers
Deshaun Watson
Russell WilsonAmazingly, Washington is better off having traded for Wentz as opposed to any of the other three guys.

Sources: Robert Saleh came into the building today business as usual. The decision of him getting fired was a surprise and it came directly from ownership. Defensive players in the building are shocked by it.

Robert Saleh goes down, while Nate Hackett survives….the unchecked power of a 40 year old Aaron Rodgers knows no bounds
— Gator (@TheFFGator) October 8, 2024
Since the 2021 season, Robert Saleh’s first in New York, the Jets defense is
1st in points per drive
1st in EPA per play
3rd in success rate…despite playing the fourth-most snaps over that stretch.
Saleh never solved the QB problem, but man. He delivered on defense.

For Commanders fans, this is a great moment of gratitude. In Cleveland we saw where ownership meddled in personnel and blew up a good squad. Today with the Jets we saw ownership choose a player over a coach. Be happy Washington is out of that world. Rejoice.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 8, 2024
The Jets were more or less built for a one year run. Clearly didnt look like a team that had a run in them. This feels like a breakdown between coach and QB leading to the end.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) October 8, 2024
Same thing Ill say for any team. If you are firing a coach this early in a year its a failure by ownership. These are changes that should be made in the offseason. Getting talked into “give him one more chance” is just bad for the organization and the coach too
