Talking about the commander's offense, of course, Cliff Kingsbury is their offensive coordinator.

0:08.1

And if you look at some of the old school numbers, they're not great other than they are the number three rushing team in the NFL.

0:15.7

But if you look at some of the analytics, they're doing better than what you'd expect.

0:19.2

And we kind of want to know what you think of Cliff's offense just to give you a couple of statistics to keep things in perspective

0:27.0

Terry McLaurin their number one receiver has played in 224 snaps for the commanders this year

0:34.6

Chris Moore has played in 386.

0:38.8

Jalen Lane in 313.

0:43.5

Jaden Daniels, 366, Marcus Mario de 4404.

0:48.5

I think that's why the offense hasn't been what it was a year ago.

0:52.6

Are people really expecting this to be a top five offense with a backup quarterback

0:56.3

whose biggest strength, in my opinion, is his mobility, not his passing?

1:02.0

Like, what are people expecting?

1:03.8

They expect them to be a top 10 passing offense with Jaden Daniels sidelined?

1:08.3

I think that's unrealistic.

1:10.0

And Terry McLaren's sideline. Yeah. Your top

1:11.8

again, like Chris Moore, 386 snaps to Terry McLaren 224. Right. Again, I can't emphasize enough.

1:21.0

The chasm between Marriota and Jaden is much smaller than it is between all the other receivers and Terry. When Terry's out there, it's such a big difference. It's like you can't even note it. I mean, it's, it's, it's incredible. He put the paddles on the offense. And I would never call him Noah Brown special, but that was a guy they were counting on to be the number three wide out in this offense. He's been on the field for 60 snaps. Yeah, I mean, he hasn't played since he doesn't play. Robbie Chosen played more. I mean, the fact that Robbie Chosen and Traylon Burks, and I know he had a great catch in the Denver game, that they're even on the roster speaks to the offensive struggles that they've had this year.

2:01.6

I would agree. Those guys, they shouldn't, if things had gone according to plan, they wouldn't be on this roster right now. The commander's fans are just disappointed in the schedule. Or excuse me, in the record. Right. I mean, there's three and nine. Right. It's just, you're looking at the, and you go, we've got to blame somebody. Right. All right. Let's blame the offense.

2:17.8

Well, let's blame the defense.

2:20.0

What's what I've said from day. You're looking at the, and you go, we've got to blame somebody. Right. All right, let's blame the offense.

2:34.7

Well, let's blame the defense. Let's like to say from day one. People don't like to blame injuries. Injuries have destroyed this team. Destroyed the team. Yeah. And I'm not saying they're a playoff team even if all those guys are healthy. I'm saying they would be a lot closer. They wouldn't be three and nine.

2:37.4

The commanders, they ran super hot with injuries. You don't even know what they would be.
