What Commanders Head Coach Dan Quinn said...

On anything that has surprised him from RB Brian Robinson Jr's performance in the first two weeks: "I wouldn't say surprised, but what I would say is maybe coming in, I didn't know his hands were as good as they are. Just for me coaching against him, and so that's been one of the things that I've been really impressed by. I knew this guy was a rare competitor, I just knew that. But what I didn't know was that he was complete in that way in terms of running and catching and being outside and doing that too. So that would've been something I wouldn't say I was surprised at, but I was like, man, that's cool to see."

On if he has seen any recurring areas of improvement through the first two weeks: "Yeah, would I say are we a lot better than we were at the start of training camp? You bet. You know, I don't know what, six or eight weeks later. I'm hearing the communication improving on both sides. But that one is from here to here to here. So I would say there's some things that we've probably gone in that way from like a D to then a C and a C+. And so not to where we're going to be, but I do feel like that has been improved. The communication at the line of scrimmage in combination blocks, I think we probably had talked about that at one time, maybe when we didn't have a lot of the offensive line together and how would we do with not having a lot of reps together. I'm seeing those combinations, those techniques working together, so that's been another one in the running game that I've been pleased with."

On his remarks to the team before their first primetime game of the season: “To embrace the buildup for it and enjoy it because it's a really cool experience. And one that for the players that haven't done it before, to enjoy it. But it'll really come down to us, that's my message. To say our style, our play and how we get down once the game kicks off. It'll be like normal if we function in that way, but I wanted them to enjoy the buildup and knowing there's a routine that goes into place for a night game. What does the day of the game look like? We have some meetings and things that day, but we have to be at our best in the evening that day. So, we've had some experience with that in the preseason with some night games. But just going through that process, having the younger players lean into the older guys onto that, it's a big deal and yeah, we're really excited for it.”

What Commanders QB Jayden Daniels said...

On his thoughts going into his first primetime appearance: "I mean, it's special obviously. Be able to play one that's early just coming off my first actual game, the first home opener, now first Monday night game. So, it's gonna be special, but at the end of the day it's another game you're just playing later on in the week."

On if he has talked to Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow and what it will be like facing him after following him at LSU: "No, I haven't talked to him recently. I wish him nothing but the best in his success over in Cincinnati, what he's done so far, what he did for the state of Louisiana. So, it’s big for the whole state of Louisiana to see both of us go up against each other on Monday night."

On what he liked from the offensive performance on Sunday: "Yeah, we got after them in the run game, physical up front, made plays in the pass game. I feel like we could still expand on overall as a offense, but we know we gotta execute. We gotta finish drives and that's the name of the game is putting up points and scoring touchdowns."
