Where did the hosts of “First Things First” predict the Commanders would finish in the NFC East this year?
Monday, the hosts made their predictions and reasons why. Here are their predictions for the NFC East and what they had to say about the Commanders specifically.
Nick Wright: Cowboys, Commanders, Eagles, Giants
“The argument for the Washington Commanders is simple. The new coach bump from Dan Quinn, and the fact that I like Jayden Daniels as a player. I don’t like him long-term as a prospect because I am concerned about the injuries.
I’m concerned about his body, his frame, and his ability to survive eight, nine, ten years in this league. That’s my whole argument against him. That he is too small for a long NFL career, that doesn’t mean he can’t be dynamic in an individual season.
They have decent weapons and I understand defensively there are going to be some struggles. However, there is always a team that everyone has written off as one of the worst teams in the league that is going to make the playoffs or is right there. I don’t have them making the playoffs, but I do have them finishing second.”
Chris Broussard: Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, Giants
“I love Jayden Daniels. I think he is going to have a dynamic year, and I think they are growing. That doesn’t mean I think he is making the playoffs as a rookie. But I think he has a bright future.”
Greg Jennings: Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, Giants
“You (Nick Wright) say Jahan Dotson is not a good receiver? You are out of your mind. He had a down year last year. I like him in this situation. I think what they are trying to do is really put a lot of pieces around Jalen Hurts…I don’t know how confident they are in him carrying the load. When you start to load up around a quarterback like this, you’re saying he needs more around him.”
I like the Cowboys, but they are not making the playoffs. I’m sorry, Cowboy Nation.”
Jennings did not provide any commentary on the Commanders or Giants.
