The Commanders sure didn’t want to start 0-2, but that’s where they find themselves heading into a Week 3 contest with the Seattle Seahawks that doubles as their home opener.
Washington must get right without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels, who suffered a left elbow dislocationduring a Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Marcus Mariota’s now running the show
, with plenty of experience to rely on in this tough situation.The Seahawks defense is a formidable foe, but the home crowd should have a positive
impact on a team that desperately needs it.
This is an important contest, especially with the teamheaded to London in Week 4. How can Washington come out on top? No, seriously. We’re asking you. We’ll hit five key questions for you to answer in this reverse Q+A using the article comments below.
As we always do, we’ll pull the best answers to each question and put them in the main part of the article on Friday morning. Let’s get to it:
Question 1: How can Marcus Mariota lead the Commanders to victory? What will it be important for him to do to get a win?
Question 2: After the way Rachaad White played versus Dallas, would you consider using him as the feature back and putting Jacory Croskey-Merritt into more of a backup role?
Question 3: The Commanders secondary is a mess, especially without Nick Cross available. Would you make any personnel switches in the defensive backfield at this point?
Question 4: What’s your level of concern with Jayden Daniels’ ability to stay healthy on a consistent basis? Does this injury change your mind on whether to offer him a long-term extension?
Question 5: The Commanders are off to a tough start. In what scenario could you see owner Josh Harris letting Dan Quinn go during the season?
