Dan Quinn is currently the betting favorite to be the first NFL head coach fired in 2026, but Sean Anderson believes that is a ridiculous premise. Quinn is listed at +300, ahead of Todd Bowles and Aaron Glenn, despite leading the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship Game two years ago with a rookie quarterback. So should Dan Quinn actually be on the hot seat? Sean's answer is an emphatic NO. That doesn't mean Quinn should be immune from criticism. If Washington has another disappointing season, the conversation about Quinn's future becomes much more legitimate. But Sean believes firing Quinn during the 2026 season would make very little sense. Washington has changed dramatically since the Ron Rivera era. Only a small number of players remain from the team Quinn inherited, and Sean argues that the Commanders' larger issue may be roster construction and player development rather than coaching. Washington has to continue drafting and developing players who can remain productive for multiple seasons instead of constantly rebuilding the depth of the roster. Sean also questions the idea that Washington would be able to find a better head coach if Quinn were fired. Would the Commanders really be better off with Zac Taylor? Aaron Glenn? A college coach like Dan Lanning or Kalen DeBoer? Or another coordinator who has never proven he can build an NFL team? Quinn already has a track record of building a team. He took Atlanta to the Super Bowl and helped Washington reach the NFC Championship Game with Jayden Daniels as a rookie. That doesn't make him untouchable. If the Commanders completely fall apart in 2026, Sean is willing to have the conversation. If Washington produces another mediocre season and Quinn's teams continue to underperform, his future should absolutely be evaluated. But before the season even begins? Sean believes the idea of Dan Quinn being the first coach fired is absurd. Washington's season begins with a massive Week 1 matchup against Philadelphia, and Sean says that game will provide the first real evidence of whether Quinn's team is prepared. If Washington comes out flat or Quinn makes a major coaching mistake, Sean will be the first person willing to criticize him. But right now, Sean is firmly in Dan Quinn's corner. Do you think Dan Quinn should be on the hot seat? Let us know in the comments.

The Washington Commanders are officially getting Sean Anderson's final NFC East prediction before Week 1, and he believes Washington is going to finish SECOND in the division. Philadelphia remains Sean's pick to win the NFC East, but he believes the Commanders are a legitimate playoff team and have a better path to the postseason than Dallas or New York. The biggest reason? Washington has the easiest group of outlier games in the division. Sean views Minnesota, Atlanta and Cincinnati as highly winnable games for Washington, giving the Commanders an important advantage when comparing the four NFC East schedules. He also believes Washington can compete with Dallas and potentially split the season series with the Cowboys. The opening stretch will be difficult. Washington has to deal with Philadelphia, Dallas and Seattle early in the season, while other challenging games include the Rams, San Francisco and Houston. But Sean believes the Commanders have enough easier games surrounding those matchups to stay in the playoff race. Jayden Daniels is obviously a major part of that optimism. Washington has a healthy franchise quarterback, more weapons on offense and a defense that Sean believes has the potential to continue improving. Dallas is Sean's third-place team, although only by a slim margin. The Cowboys have a talented offense and a defense that Sean believes will improve, but their schedule includes several extremely difficult games. The Giants finish fourth. Sean believes New York has improved significantly, particularly along the offensive line, but still has too many questions at quarterback to move ahead of Washington, Dallas or Philadelphia. Where will the Commanders finish? Let us know in the comments.

The NFL season is almost here, and the NFC East is already showing some very different signs heading into Week 1. Sean Anderson gives the NFC East a temperature check before returning tomorrow with his full division predictions and final 14 power rankings. Where do the Commanders fit into the division? That is the big question heading into the 2026 season. Dallas currently looks like the hottest team in the division. The Cowboys have enormous expectations surrounding their offense, with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens giving Dallas two major weapons on the outside. Jake Ferguson remains a reliable tight end, Javonte Williams is coming off a strong season, and Sean believes the offensive line is good enough to support the offense. The bigger development could be on defense. After a disappointing 2025 season, Dallas reloaded its defense, and Sean believes the Cowboys' defensive culture could take a major step forward under Brian Schottenheimer. That puts Dallas at the top of Sean's temperature check entering the season. Philadelphia is a different story. The Eagles remain talented and have one of the league's better overall rosters, but Sean believes the departure of A.J. Brown creates legitimate questions. Philadelphia still has a strong offensive line, an elite running back in Saquon Barkley and a talented defense, but Sean believes questions surrounding Jalen Hurts make the Eagles more difficult to evaluate. That's why Sean has Philadelphia at lukewarm. Then there are the Giants. New York may have improved more than any other team in the division, particularly along the offensive line. Sean believes the Giants have finally started building that position group properly, giving the team a stronger foundation than it has had in years. But there are still questions at quarterback, and Sean remains skeptical about whether Jackson Dart is ready to justify the optimism surrounding him. That leaves the NFC East in a fascinating position heading into Week 1. Dallas is hot. The Giants are warm. Philadelphia is lukewarm. And tomorrow, Sean will put everything together to determine exactly where the Commanders and their NFC East rivals rank from 1 to 4. Who is YOUR favorite to win the NFC East? And what temperature would you give each team? Let us know in the comments.

The Washington Commanders are entering the 2026 NFL season with expectations higher than they have been in years. Sean Anderson is handing out his Commanders superlative predictions, including team MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Glue Guy of the Year. And there are some bold choices. The obvious MVP choice is Jayden Daniels. Washington's franchise quarterback enters another season with massive expectations after giving the Commanders something they have desperately needed for years: hope at the quarterback position. Sean believes Daniels has the talent, weapons and offensive environment to return to the form that made him one of the most exciting quarterbacks in the NFL. For Offensive Player of the Year, Sean is going away from Daniels and choosing Terry McLaurin. The reasoning? Washington's offense has improved around him. With better weapons at receiver, improved options at tight end and more support in the running game, Sean believes McLaurin has everything needed for another 1,000-yard season and potentially double-digit touchdowns. On defense, Sean is making the boldest prediction of the video. Sonny Styles is his Defensive Player of the Year. The rookie linebacker has elite athletic ability, but Sean believes he can become much more than just a coverage linebacker. He expects Styles to impact the run game, pass rush, turnovers and every part of Washington's defense. Sean projects more than 60 tackles, five-plus sacks, multiple forced fumbles and interceptions as a possibility for Styles. For Rookie of the Year, Sean is choosing Antonio Williams. Williams could give Washington something it has lacked: a true third receiving option who can win underneath, create separation and become a red-zone weapon. Finally, Sean names his Glue Guy of the Year. The finalists are Javon Kinlaw, Josh Conerly Jr. and Sam Cosmi. All three represent players who could determine whether Washington's roster holds together in critical areas. Who will be the Commanders' most important player in 2026? Do you agree with Sean's predictions? Let us know in the comments.

The Washington Commanders are less than two weeks away from Week 1, and Sean Anderson believes the roster still has two major areas that need improvement. Those two positions? Offensive tackle and cornerback. After finalizing the initial 53-man roster, Washington has a talented foundation built around Jayden Daniels, but Sean believes the team cannot afford to ignore its remaining weaknesses before opening the season against Philadelphia. The first name Sean believes Washington should call is veteran offensive tackle Taylor Decker. Decker has spent his career with the Detroit Lions and would immediately bring experience and stability to an offensive line that lost Laremy Tunsil to injury. Sean believes Washington needs to protect Jayden Daniels and cannot enter the season relying only on its current options. The second offensive line option is former Giants first-round pick Evan Neal. Neal's time in New York did not go according to plan, but Sean believes Washington should consider taking a swing on a player with elite physical tools and developmental upside. The cornerback position is an even bigger concern. Washington currently does not have enough reliable depth at corner, especially with Trey Amos beginning the season on injured reserve. Sean believes the Commanders need to add veteran bodies who can survive important stretches of the season. His cornerback targets? Kenny Moore II and Adoree' Jackson. Neither player is expected to completely transform the defense, but Sean believes Washington needs experienced players who can step in and avoid disastrous outcomes if injuries strike. The timing matters. Washington opens the season against Philadelphia, Dallas and Seattle, making early-season defensive depth incredibly important. The Commanders do not necessarily need to make a blockbuster trade. They need smart veteran additions. Should Washington sign one of these four players? Or is there another free agent the front office should target? Let us know in the comments.

The Washington Commanders have made their initial 53-man roster decisions, and Sean Anderson is breaking down every major addition, cut and surprise from roster cut day. Washington's initial roster includes Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota and rookie Athan Kaliakmanis at quarterback, officially ending the preseason QB3 competition with Sam Hartman being released. Kaliakmanis' rise is one of the biggest stories of the Commanders' offseason. After strong preseason performances, the rookie beat Hartman for the final quarterback spot and earned an opportunity to continue developing behind Daniels and Mariota. The running back room includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Kaytron Allen and Jeremy McNichols, who was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return. Washington's wide receiver group is largely what was expected, with Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown, Jaylin Lane and Luke McCaffrey making the initial roster. The offensive line is carrying 10 players, although Laremy Tunsil is expected to begin the season on injured reserve. Brandon Coleman, Chris Paul, Nick Allegretti, Sam Cosmi and Josh Conerly Jr. are projected to make up the starting group, with Washington also retaining Andrew Wylie, D.J. Humphries, Matt Goncalves and Noah Togiai. On defense, Washington kept six defensive linemen, four outside linebackers, five linebackers, three cornerbacks and five safeties. The linebacker room remains one of the strongest position groups on the roster, while the cornerback room immediately stands out as an area Washington may need to address. Sean also breaks down several cuts that surprised him. Byron Cowart showed enough against Baltimore to earn a second look in Sean's eyes. Jacoby Jones impressed with his special teams effort throughout the preseason. Trent Scott was a useful swing offensive lineman but was ultimately released. Robert Henry Jr. also failed to do enough after a promising preseason opener to earn a roster spot. Sean believes those decisions demonstrate something important about Washington's new regime: being serviceable is no longer enough. And despite the initial 53-man roster being set, Sean doesn't believe this is actually Washington's final roster. The Commanders still have areas that need improvement, particularly at cornerback and along the offensive line. Washington has a quarterback in Jayden Daniels and enough talent to remain optimistic, but Sean expects the front office to continue looking for upgrades before Week 1. So which cut surprised you the most? And what position should Washington target with its next roster move? Let us know in the comments.

The Washington Commanders are getting closer to roster cut day, and Sean Anderson is projecting the team's final 53-man roster on defense. Washington's defense has improved heading into the 2026 NFL season, but there are still plenty of difficult decisions ahead. Some position groups have legitimate competition, while others could force Washington to make another move before Week 1. The defensive line starts with several players who appear locked into roster spots. Daron Payne, Javon Kinlaw and Tim Settle are expected to remain important pieces, while Washington waits for Jer'Zhan Newton to return. Sean believes Washington has talent up front, but questions whether the team has enough difference makers if the defensive line becomes too reliant on rotation players. The linebacker room may be the strongest group on the defense. Sonny Styles is locked in after being selected as one of Washington's foundational defensive pieces. Frankie Luvu and K'Lavon Chaisson provide veteran pass-rush upside, while Joshua Josephs and other young linebackers compete for depth and special teams roles. The biggest challenge for Washington could be deciding which linebackers provide enough value to keep on the roster. At cornerback, Washington has several reliable options, including Trey Amos, Mike Sainristil and Mike Robertson. Sean believes Jonathan Mingo can provide value as well, but the rest of the room remains a question. The safety position is where things become more complicated. Sean believes Washington's defensive backfield needs another addition before facing Philadelphia in Week 1. The Commanders cannot afford to enter the season without enough answers in coverage against elite NFC receivers. The question for Washington is whether they are comfortable with their current roster or whether they continue searching for upgrades before the regular season begins.

The Washington Commanders are getting closer to roster cut day, and Sean Anderson is projecting the team's final 53-man roster on offense. There are several decisions still left for Washington, including a surprising quarterback competition, a crowded wide receiver room and major questions along the offensive line. The biggest surprise comes at quarterback. After two strong preseason performances, Sean believes rookie Athan Kaliakmanis has done enough to potentially take the QB3 job away from Sam Hartman. Jayden Daniels remains locked in as Washington's franchise quarterback, Marcus Mariota remains one of the better backup quarterbacks in the NFL, but the third quarterback spot has suddenly become a real competition. Kaliakmanis has shown arm talent, confidence and the ability to operate the offense, giving Washington a difficult decision before cut day. The running back room appears more settled. Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White and Kaytron Allen are projected to make the roster, while Robert Henry Jr. remains a player to watch after a difficult stretch. A strong preseason finale could determine whether Henry keeps his spot. Wide receiver is another fascinating position group. Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs and rookie Antonio Williams are considered safe, but the battle behind them remains competitive. Sean projects Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown, Treylon Burks and Jaylin Lane as the final pieces, while noting that Jaden Bradley could force his way into the conversation with another strong preseason performance. At tight end, Washington appears comfortable with its top options, including Chig Okonkwo and John Bates. The biggest concern comes along the offensive line. Sean believes Washington's starting group is better than many fans believe, but the depth remains a concern. With Laremy Tunsil potentially starting the season on injured reserve, Washington may need to continue searching for help before Week 1 against Philadelphia. The Commanders are trying to become a serious contender in the NFC, and roster decisions at the margins could determine whether this team has enough depth to compete throughout the season.

The Washington Commanders suddenly have an unexpected quarterback competition to settle before the 53-man roster is finalized. Has rookie Athan Kaliakmanis done enough to take the QB3 job away from Sam Hartman? Sean Anderson believes it's officially a conversation Washington needs to have. Kaliakmanis delivered an impressive performance against the Detroit Lions, completing 11 of 14 passes for 162 yards without throwing an interception or taking a sack. That came after Kaliakmanis also led Washington in passing during its preseason opener against Miami. Hartman hasn't necessarily played poorly. He completed 9 of 11 passes against Detroit after going 8 of 15 against Miami. But Sean believes there is an important difference between Washington's two quarterbacks: ceiling. Kaliakmanis is young, inexperienced and still developing, but his arm talent, confidence and ability to operate from the pocket have given the Commanders reasons to wonder what he could eventually become. With Hartman, Sean believes Washington has a much clearer idea of what it's getting. That raises a larger philosophical question for Adam Peters, Dan Quinn and the Commanders as roster cutdown day approaches. Should an NFL team use its QB3 spot on the safer, more established option? Or should Washington prioritize the young quarterback whose ceiling remains unknown? Sean argues the Commanders should constantly be trying to upgrade the quarterback room behind Jayden Daniels. Marcus Mariota gives Washington an established veteran QB2 who can step into a game when needed. But that shouldn't mean the Commanders become comfortable at QB3. Sean wants competition throughout the bottom of the quarterback depth chart, especially when a young player is showing legitimate developmental upside. Washington's final preseason matchup against the Baltimore Ravens could provide the answer. If Kaliakmanis can put together another impressive performance against Baltimore, Sean believes the Commanders need to seriously consider keeping the rookie on the 53-man roster. And Hartman still has an opportunity to respond. Who should be the Commanders' QB3 entering the 2026 NFL season: Athan Kaliakmanis or Sam Hartman? Drop your answer in the comments.

The Washington Commanders lost 17-13 to the Detroit Lions in Week 2 of the NFL preseason, but Sean Anderson came away from the game with several important positives, concerns and potentially significant roster developments. Athan Kaliakmanis was one of the biggest stories of the afternoon. The rookie quarterback completed 11 of 14 passes for 162 yards without throwing an interception or taking a sack. After another encouraging preseason performance, Kaliakmanis is giving Washington something to think about in its quarterback room. Is Sam Hartman still comfortably the Commanders' QB3, or has Kaliakmanis turned this into a legitimate competition? Jayden Daniels also saw his first preseason action, although Washington kept its franchise quarterback's workload extremely limited. Daniels played just one series before the Commanders wisely got him out of the game healthy. The running game was a much different story. After Washington's young backs impressed against Miami, the Commanders managed only 35 rushing yards against Detroit. Kaytron Allen carried 10 times for 30 yards, while Robert Henry Jr. couldn't recreate his breakout performance from the preseason opener. There were also plenty of questions about Washington's offensive line, particularly its depth. Sean explains why he's more comfortable with the starting offensive line than many Commanders fans appear to be while acknowledging that some of Washington's backup tackle options struggled badly against Detroit. At wide receiver, rookie Antonio Williams continues to look like a player who can immediately help the Commanders. Williams caught all three of his targets for 41 yards, including a big third-down conversion, and Sean named him his MVP of the game. Jaden Bradley also helped himself in Washington's crowded receiver competition with an impressive performance. Defensively, there was plenty to like. Amik Robertson created an explosive play early, Joshua Josephs made an important hustle play and Quan Martin recorded an interception for the second consecutive preseason game. Washington held Detroit to only 110 passing yards and Sean gave the defense roughly a B-minus grade. Sonny Styles also continued his NFL development, although Sean doesn't believe Washington is showing the league how it truly plans to deploy the first-round linebacker once the regular season begins. Overall, Sean gives the Commanders a C-plus/B-minus for their performance. The loss wasn't disastrous, but 11 penalties, 35 rushing yards and a losing time-of-possession battle give Washington plenty to clean up before the regular season.
