New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll explains the challenge of playing the Washington Commanders.
The Washington Commanders are taking on a divisional foe in Week 2 as they host the New York Giants to play their first home game of the season.
Washington is looking for a better result in Week 1, as their road contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers saw them get routed 37-20. On the bright side, the Commanders playing on their home field after rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels got his feet wet in the NFL should help them find that improved result.For the Giants, there is a bit of a challenge in preparing for a team which was overhauled this past season.
"In the early part of the season, it's like that, but now you add Dan , even though he was at Dallas, but he has different players on Washington than he had at Dallas. The quarterback is in his second start, so there's not a lot of tape other than you go back and there's plenty of tape that we watched at LSU," Daboll explained.
Each week could look drastically different for the Commanders this season. There's potential for an element of surprise every game this season. Daniels, the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will figure more out as the season rolls on. The team will further gel and find out how to bring results. With a franchise reset, though, there are bound to be highs and lows. Gauging that as an opponent is incredibly difficult, so the Giants can only operate on what they know, which is very little about the current-look Commanders squad.Kade has been covering a wide variety of teams ranging from the NFL to the NBA and college athletics since joining Sports Illustrated's FanNation in 2022.
