00:00The Washington Commanders come in eighth in Eric Edholm's power rankings.
00:05I'm reading now, in Marcus Mariota's first start in three seasons, he performed ably,
00:09shaking off an early fumble to slice up the Raiders.
00:12The operation ran smoothly because the run game immediately produced,
00:15and Washington set a physical tone for the day.
00:18Five different runners carried the ball three times or more, all of them productive.
00:21The explosive plays also returned to the offense and special teams,
00:25especially with Jalen Lane's 90-yard punt return score.
00:28The Commanders scored more points on Sunday than in the first two games combined,
00:32and they suddenly have to feel a lot better heading into this week's game at Atlanta
00:36if they need to go back to Mariota in what could be a fun revenge game for the backup quarterback.
00:41Jaden Daniels' long-term health is of primary importance,
00:44so Washington shouldn't mess around here if the face of the franchise remains compromised.
00:49I largely agree with that.
00:52I wanted to pull something up here.
00:54So after the Commanders send out a schedule for the week to the media,
01:04and especially when games are just Sunday 1 o'clock, it's pretty uniform.
01:09Wednesday we hear from Dan Quinn before practice, and then the quarterback after practice.
01:13Thursday we hear from both coordinators before practice.
01:16And then Friday, DQ talks after practice, and that's generally when Dan Quinn will rule some players out.
01:25Guys he knows aren't going to play, he'll rule them out, right?
