Joe Whitt Jr and Kliff Kingsbury talk about the rematch with the Eagles

Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr speak to the media before practice

Joe Whitt Jr. talked about the Washington Commanders close win over the New Orleans Saints. There were a lot of missed opportunities, including several potential interceptions that were dropped. Whitt continues to point out his defense needs to produce more turnovers, and he’s also working on 4th quarter defense which needs a lot of improvement. Marshon Lattimore’s debut with Washington was a success, and you could tell that his former Saints teammates respected him, because they only looked his way twice, and didn’t throw either time.

Whitt said it’s great to get Jonathan Allen back on the practice field, and he looks forward to seeing him back on the field in the “near future”. Allen’s 21-day window was opened yesterday, but it would be a surprise if he was available this weekend when Washington hosts the Eagles. Whitt called Philadelphia the hottest team in the league, and talked about how good their offensive line has been. Washington will have to play a complete game to beat the 12-2 Eagles, and stopping Saquon Barkley later in the game will be key for that to happen.

Making sure they get it done:

Kliff Kingsbury joked about some “voodoo shit” at the end of the Saints game with the clock stopped for 3-4 seconds, and said he was surprised they left New Orleans with the win. Jayden Daniels looks refreshed after the bye week, and that will help him down the final stretch of the regular season.

Washington is preparing to host the Philadelphia Eagles, and Kingsbury said he didn’t call a very good game the first time around. He said they were on a short week, and now they’ve got the full week, and experience from the games since then, to make adjustments and see how far the team has come since the first game. One thing that every team has been trying to adjust for is Eagles DT Jalen Carter.
