Fox NFL analyst believes Commanders can win NFC East because of offense
One NFL analyst and longtime former starting NFL OL believes the Commanders can win the NFC East.
The Washington Commanders are facing challenges on Sunday, with multiple key players sidelined by injuries. Starting defensive tackles Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw, as well as star wide receiver Terry McLaurin, are all out for the season. Reserve wide receiver Dyami Brown was recently ruled out, and emerging receiver Treylon Burks will miss the game due to a foot injury.
Despite these setbacks, the Commanders have a healthy Jayden Daniels in their lineup. Daniels has been playing consistently well, wearing a brace on his twice-dislocated left elbow, which hasn’t hindered his performance. Fox analyst Mark Schlereth expressed his optimism about the Commanders' offensive progress, stating that they haven’t fully "hit their stride" yet.
He believes that the team will have some key players available, including Treylon Burks, who has been instrumental in their recent successes. Schlereth also praised the performance of Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams, seeing them as potential game-changers for the Commanders. He remains confident in the team's chances to win the NFC East, noting their continuous improvement throughout the season.
Schlereth, an ex-NFL offensive lineman, is covering both the Commanders and Rams for Fox Sports on Sunday.
