Commanders take on the New York Giants
By: Jake Rajala
This Thursday Night Football contest will be a bloody, divisional tilt between the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders. We all remember this rivalry since the day New York Giants edge rusher Lawrence Taylor broke the former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theisman’s leg. We must realize that “LT” wasn’t human, however. He had a bottle of scotch before games. I believe this was cooler than his QB Jameis Winston eating Ws.
The GMEN need to rely on running back Cam Skattebo. He was benched for fumbling in recent memory and then he came back with revenge and recorded 124 yards and a touchdown last week. He has been all over the map. It’s hard to have confidence in him. Some may say that he let the commercials for State Farm get to his head. At least, he is on the State Farm commercial over Jaxson Mahomes.
The GMEN need to be prepared for the best effort from the “great value” version of Doug Williams, Jayden Daniels. He is sort of short-handed without Scary Terry, but he still has Stefon Diggs. Furthermore, he can make defenses pay with his legs, similar to RG3. He is a better passing version of RG3, to be fair.
The Commanders need to know how to spike the ball in this showdown. Dan Quinn didn’t major in rocket science, but he has been around the game long enough to have a Super Bowl to his name.
