Take a look at what Commanders players and coaches had to say ahead of Sunday's matchup.
On Head Coach Pete Carroll:
"We've gone against each other a number of times over the last 10 years or so. What did I learn? Man, a lot. ... His rock-solid philosophy, that's such an important thing that you need as a head coach. Sometimes as a play caller, you're just this unit, but as a head coach, man, it's everything. Two of the very best that I've been around in instilling a philosophy was Pete and Nick Saban." – Commanders Head Coach Dan Quinn
On DE Maxx Crosby:
"He is an absolute savage of a player. I love watching him, the energy, the effort, the skill of it. Somebody that I just respect a lot – his game, the way he plays, the style." – Commanders Head Coach Dan Quinn
"Maxx is going to get his. He always has. Being around that team for a couple years, you understand that he's kind of the heart and soul of that team and he's going to give it everything he's got every single play." – Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota
On QB Geno Smith:
"He's got one of the strongest arms, can absolutely rip the ball." – Commanders Head Coach Dan Quinn
"Strong arm, talented, can put the ball up." – Commanders defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.
On LB Devin White:
"I think one person that's really stood out to me is Devin White. I've played against him a few times in my career, but I think him just being around the ball, flying around, it's impressive." – Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota
On S Jeremy Chinn:
"Phenomenal player. Obviously got a ton of respect for Jerm. Loved our battles last year, he definitely got me better as a player. It's gonna be a tough matchup for me, in particular. He's a really good player. I've played against him in the past when he was on different teams, but I feel like he's definitely one of the best safeties in the league, especially at his role." – Commanders tight end Zach Ertz
On CB Kyu Blu Kelly:
"I think he's an awesome player and he's really showed out and made a few plays and kind of splashed." – Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota
On TE Brock Bowers:
"A dynamic, young tight end that when you talk about being one of the best receiving threats, you have to almost treat him like a receiver. He's just a dynamic player. I remember watching him when he was at Georgia when he was a freshman and I was like, if he came out, he'd probably be the first tight end to get drafted if he came out as a freshman. So, I have a lot of respect for him." – Commanders defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.
On RB Ashton Jeanty:
"He's just good, man. Natural leverage. He has the ability to run through arm tackles. You have to get to his legs, have to get multiple people there." – Commanders defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.
