The Commanders have two games left and the playoffs are nearing the climax of the regular season.

Still, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn is determined not to let his team look too far ahead. He’s aware of the discussions going on in the media and among the fan base, but told the press on Monday that he won’t look the other way if he doesn’t like his team’s focus. He will address it.

“Yeah. And I know this, I’m not burying my head in the sand, but I’m really staying true to the process with the players,” Quinn said. “And I promise you all the things that go through my mind, that .” What-ifs are not one of them. I just don’t see any benefit in it; we have a lot of things we can improve on.

Quinn knows there’s no point in his players getting caught up in playoff selection, playoff implications and playoff scenarios. You can’t control what the other teams do anyway. So why not focus on what you can control? What can you address?

“If I can continue to strive for constant improvement, we will have reached our goal. And so we’re kind of talking about when we came back from the break (week) where we were at a base camp, and we’re trying.” To get to a next location, a new next location, Atlanta is exactly six days away the right thing for us. I don’t have to focus on the what ifs.”

Kirk Cousins ​​​​talked about this long ago in his years in Washington. Many didn’t understand him when he notoriously said, “I’m a little more process-oriented.”

Whether it was understood by many is irrelevant. He was right, and so was Quinn. Keep busy, focus on what you need to tackle and how you can improve. Work your process.
