What Commanders HC Dan Quinn said...

On slowing down Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley and on what they learned from the first matchup: “Like a lot of great players, he is at his best and has proven to be in the end of games. And so, we have to make sure the fit and the tackling on the fifth run is the same on the 25th run. And you have to be able to just continue to do right longer than them. And they've proven this year that they're exceptional at staying at it, staying at it. And that takes a lot of discipline. It takes a lot of work to do it over and over again because like the great player, it just takes the one and that's what makes over and over, the grind of staying in it for each down. That's the key to me.”

On what makes Philadelphia’s defensive front unique: “It's interesting, oftentimes you may have one-on-one side that can win and you can go to chip there or somebody that's significant inside that you turn the center slide to. Those are the two main examples. Outside usually helps with tight ends and backs and inside helps with centers. In this case they've really got an effective four-man rush. And so, that's what makes the challenge more difficult to say, that's a matchup, that's a matchup. You can help to one, you can slide to another but somebody has the hard down. And so that's what makes it the most challenging to me.

On beating playoff caliber teams: “It's a big deal and if you want to be seen as a heavy hitter, you gotta beat them.”

What Commanders QB Jayden Daniels said....

On how he’s progressed since the first matchup with Philadelphia: “Yeah, I mean, I think I grow each and every game as I'm continuing this course of my rookie season. I mean, you either getting better or you’re getting worse and I don't want to get worse. So, finding little ways to improve each and every game. But I mean, you go out there, you gotta put on a performance each and every Sunday.”

On differences from the first matchup against Philadelphia compared to now: “Yeah, I mean no matter who we play, who they play, everything starts up front. They got good football players over there, we got good football players here. So, it's more so about the will and the want to upfront between everybody and just the whole team. Want to go out there, who wants it more. And the more discipline in the team with the more want to [will] prevail in this game.”

On when he knew his relationship with WR Terry McLaurin was going to click: “Yeah, I mean we hit a couple of those plays in training camp and OTAs and this continuous growth that we keep going. We talk throughout the week of different looks and how I view something and how he views stuff. And come game day you don't really think about it, you just put the ball in the vicinity for Terry, go make a play, and nine times out of 10 makes them.”
