In what place will the Commanders finish in the 2023 NFC East?
Monday, the hosts of “First Things First,” a Fox Sports talk show, predicted the NFC East 2023 season. The show is hosted by Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes.
Here is how the three predicted the 2023 NFC East Division to unfold and what they had to say, particularly regarding Washington.
Nick Wright: Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Commanders
“Coming in last in the NFC East, look, I wish Eric Bieniemy the best. But Sam Howell is your Week 1 starter. You already have odd vibes between your receivers, your head coach and the offensive coordinator about whether or not they actually like Bieniemy’s coaching style.”
“I thought their decision to not pick up the 5th-year option on Chase Young was inexplicable. Despite the injuries, we know what a talent he is, and the potential to let the number two pick in the draft hit free agency, made no sense to me. They are your fourth-place team.”
Chris Broussard: Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, Giants
“Washington, I like them a little bit. Not like a Super Bowl team, but I like them. The defense is legit. Eric Bieniemy? I know it is preseason, but I like the way they have been running their offense. Obviously, you have Terry McLaurin; you have some decent skill position players. So I got them in third.”
Kevin Wildes: Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, Giants
“Oh, look at that, Sam Howell sneaks (the Commanders) into the playoffs.”
