Big Cat, I told you when I was visiting that this was biblical. This has already been written. Do you remember Daniel 5-17 when he has to walk into the lion's den and have to conquer those lions? I told you we had something going here that was special. Dan Quinn and his leadership. And don't forget about the fact that we got a Jedi, a quarterback, Jedi 5, the ultimate force multiplier.
It's changed everything, but it ain't just them. It ain't just the coaches and the players. I got to give a lot of love to this new ownership. Josh Harris and those guys, they have changed everything. They have set a standard that's a very high standard, and I think everybody's getting to see right now that America's had a new team.
We are America's new team, the nation's capital, the Washington Commanders.
I'm going to be honest with you. I understand where everybody's coming from because we're at ground zero right now. When I say ground zero, this was our quarterback's first year. This was our offensive coordinator's first year. This was Dan Quinn's first year installing his culture. So what they're saying is it can only go up from here. Think about it. We got 80 million plus in cap room.
So that means we can go out here and sign the vets. We got draft capital. We're only going to put better pieces around him. And the thing about it, I think this is what Jaden has did a good job of. He's shown you how he's going to play when we have to pay him $300 million, $400 million. And we can't buy all the receivers. We can't have all the tight ends.
He's showing you I am the ultimate force multiplier. I'm going to make everybody around me better no matter what so I can understand why people are so excited. But when we talk about Philadelphia, the only thing I can say is different when it comes to them and Detroit.
I think Detroit, especially the way that Jalen Hurts is throwing the ball right now, the Detroit Lions had another level to their offense because not only can they run the ball with their great offensive line, they could push the ball down the field with J-Mo and St. Brown. And when I look at Philadelphia, even though they got A.J.
Brown and Devontae Smith, something's going on with Jalen Hurts where he's not pushing the ball down the field. Then he gets another anchor injury this week. So I'm wondering how they're going to use him. Is it one of those things where we need to crowd the box and stop, I mean, Saquon Barkley and force Jalen Hurts to beat us?
I'm very eager to see what Coach Witt does when it comes to that figure in that situation. Now, because you said it, our defensive backs played well last week. All right, Sarah Steele making two interceptions. But we got guys taking balls to the house. So it's a different defense. And I knew it was going to be a different defense from week one to, what, week 18, 19, 20 right now.
They have gelled together. They have grown.
Hand down one of the best defenses in football. You're right. They got Jalen Doomsday Carter at the defensive line. They got Sweat coming off the edge. They got linebackers. They got defensive big backs. But I don't know how healthy Quinn Young Mitchell is, one of the best rookie cornerbacks to come out in a long time. They do have – But don't forget, guys, we played this team twice.
Last time James Daniels played this team, he threw for five touchdowns against this vaunted defensive backfield when they was fully healthy. And then you go to the first game. I always tell people, everybody's talking about the game that we won.
I'm more impressed with the game that we lost because that game was in Philadelphia, and we turned the ball over a ton, and Steele was at the end of that game. So when we're playing against an in-division of four and you're playing them for the third time, Everything kind of... It comes together at that point. And it's like fighting your little brother or your big brother.
I know all of your moves. Now it's all about who can withstand it, who can play four quarters, and who's not going to make mistakes. And my quarterback doesn't turn the ball over. Jalen Hurts turns the ball over. He's the key to this game. Jalen Hurts is the key to this game.
I am scared of Saquon Barkley, though, because it seems like every – I couldn't sleep last night because of Saquon Barkley. Nightmare.
So I don't think you can stop him. Let me give you a fact right quick. He has those four long runs against us. You take those four long runs out and he's averaging 3.2 yards a carry against us. So we found a way to bottle him up. Like that first game, he broke those runs in the fourth quarter. Joe Witt has found a way to bottle him up.
But can we consistently do it and not let him come with the back-breaking run that he's done week in and week out? The guy is special.
Well, he's a penetrator. He's organized chaos in a bottle. He's the Tasmanian devil. He's everything that you want at the linebacker position. Yes, he can make plays, but we need the D-line to play on the other side of the ball because they get behind that mammoth offensive line, and they let Saquon pick his holes. So they're running a zone scheme.
That's why you see him bouncing from hole to hole, and once he finds that crack, that's when he hit him. So it ain't going to be one of them things where it's just Frankie Lukewood. Frankie Luke is going to have to bring some of his homeboys to the party. It's going to take a group to stop Saquon Barkley.
So it's one of those things where it's going to have to be Bobby Wagner to the bowl, Corey Martin to it, and Jeremy Chin has been an enforcer. I don't know if people have been watching Jeremy Chin, but Jeremy Chin has been playing light side at the strong safety position. It's going to take a group. It's going to take a family to stop Saquon Barkley.
