Former Washington coach thinks Commanders can win '11, 12, 13 games'
Former Washington coach Jay Gruden is high on Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Gruden, who coached Washington from 2014-19, is not only high on Daniels, but he believes the Commanders are playing at a high level and that it will continue.
During his weekly appearance on “Grant and Danny” on 106.7 The Fan in Washington, D.C., Gruden said Daniels is playing at a top-three level right now.
“These guys are as good as anyone you see,” Gruden said via Lou DiPietro of Audacy.
“Some of the elite teams are struggling and have issues, and I don’t know why you can’t see these guys aren’t as good as anybody right now except maybe Minnesota, who is playing the best football on both sides of the ball. With the play of Jayden Daniels, who is a Top 3 QB right now, the way they can run the football, and the defense that is starting to come together hustle and play hard, I don’t see why they can’t win 10, 11, 12, 13 games.
Gruden seems confident that Washington can win the NFC East.
“What these guys have put on tape for the first five weeks, it’s not like they played an easy schedule, and I’m not too sold on the NFC East right now,” he continued. “I don’t see why it’s a stretch to say they can’t go 8-4 the rest of the way and win the NFC East.”
If all goes according to Gruden’s thinking, the NFC East will not have a repeat division winner again. The last time the division had a repeat winner was the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2004.
The Commanders currently sit alone atop the division at 4-1, with the Cowboys (3-2), Eagles (2-2) and Giants (2-3) all trailing.
