00:00Washington commanders, Matt. I mean, they're a dangerous team. I've been talking about them for

00:08months here. I understand they have their warts. They've won games maybe they shouldn't have and

00:12they've come down to the end. But man, do they have this equalizer in Jaden Daniels who is just

00:18scratching the surface as to what he is going to be. What's funny to me is I see a lot of Eagles

00:24fans on social media saying, well, there's no way they're going to beat us three times

00:28in a row. They've already beat them twice. It looks like they're going to match up

00:32in the first round of the playoffs too. And I assume Jalen Hurts will be back. I know he had

00:36a concussion, but I'm here to tell you, I would not feel comfortable going into any game against

00:41Jaden Daniels. And by the way, that goes for any team in the NFC right now. I said at the beginning

00:46of the year, the only thing I've gotten right, I don't think they're winning the Superbowl, Matt,

00:50but I think they're going to give a team some problems. I don't think they're going to be a

00:53one and done team. Well, they're not an easy out. There's no getting around that. The way

00:57Jaden Daniels can extend plays, make big plays all on his own. There's something to this idea

01:03that, you know, some quarterbacks just have it. There really is. Sometimes we make fun of that,

01:08especially if you're a more analytical based sports, uh, you know, commentator,

01:13analyst. And, uh, I think he has it though, for whatever it is, he's got it. They rally,

01:19they get behind him and he carries the team and they have some really good playmakers.

01:24They have a good enough running game. I think that's where he's relied on to do a little bit

01:29too much. You know, the big thing to me with that team is, is when a team gets to focus on them

01:34ahead of a playoff game, you know, is it, is it going to be trouble? We know that the Cliff

01:39Kingsbury offense can get bogged down. It can sort of get figured out for lack of a better way to

01:44say it. Uh, it looked like they were going to have that second half slip. That's typical of

01:48a Kingsbury offense, but they'd found a way to win some of these games. So it's going to be a tough

01:53out for them and beating Philadelphia the way they have. I mean, that's got to go a long way

01:57toward their confidence.
