"He's a lot of fun to coach. He plays aggressive. Downhill. We missed some, so we'll be wanting to look at those, but also the touchdown run, which was quintessential him. We've seen that movie, you know what that looks like, and how we can feature it in this offense. I think that was part of the reasoning with the trade and why it was such a good fit."
"Adam Peters worked hard to fortify the trenches on both sides of the football this offseason. And based on initial impressions, the general manager has once again made the right investments. Washington's protection coped extremely well with a vaunted Giants defensive front. The defensive line was causing havoc from start to finish. But it was another high-profile acquisition from Peters that arguably caught the eye above all else."
The Washington Commanders opened the season with a comfortable home victory over the New York Giants. The team showed strong protection versus a disruptive Giants defensive front, reflecting offseason investments to fortify the trenches. The defensive line created consistent pressure while the offense found ways to capitalize. Deebo Samuel made an immediate impact despite offseason criticism about commitment and conditioning, displaying a downhill, aggressive style and a touchdown run that highlighted his fit. Dan Quinn praised Samuel's play and noted the trade combined scouting and coaching to integrate Samuel effectively into the offense.
