Kliff Kingsbury could be a long shot for the Giants\u2019 head coaching job<\/a><\/p>\n Kingsbury will be a hot name this offseason despite having a down year for the Commanders, but will he actually leave? He\u2019s already been linked to the Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders job as a fit<\/a>, but what about going to a division rival? ESPN\u2019s Jordan Raanan said the Giants will cast a wide net in their head coaching search, but Kingsbury might be on the outside looking in.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cCommanders\u2019 offensive coordinator Kingsbury, who also has experience as an NFL head coach with the Cardinals, is considered a bright offensive mind. The question is if he\u2019s the right fit for the New York market.\u201d \u2013 Jordan Raanan, ESPN<\/p>\n It would be a surprise if Kingsbury doesn\u2019t even get an interview with the Giants, given his track record with young quarterbacks, and what he could do with Jaxson Dart. It sounds like they could be interested in Kingsbury, but he\u2019s likely more of a tier two or tier three candidate for the Giants.<\/p>\n Riggo\u2019s Rag<\/p>\n Commanders believe Brandon Coleman has responded positively to adversity<\/a><\/p>\n The former TCU standout is getting a look down the stretch with Tunsil out. Coleman looks more accomplished and urgent in everything he does. He is not the finished article by any stretch of the imagination, but his upturn in consistency indicates that all hope is not lost just yet.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n This hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed by Quinn. The coach thinks Coleman has learned a great deal in his second campaign. The athletic upside has always been there, but the lineman has developed a new sense of resilience<\/a> that is standing him in exceptional stead.<\/p>\n \u201cI think\u2026he has learned a lot here in year two. This is a resilient guy that can do a lot of things based on his athleticism, him learning and going through the hard moments.\u201dDan Quinn via Commanders.com<\/p>\n Coleman will start at left tackle again in Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles if he gets the all-clear to participate. He\u2019s listed as questionable with a knee problem, but he practiced in full on Friday. That\u2019s a positive sign, which gives him a fighting chance of finishing his campaign on a high note.<\/p>\n Heavy.com<\/p>\n River Cracraft : Elevated for Sunday<\/a><\/p>\n The Commanders elevated Cracraft from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday\u2019s game against the Eagles. Cracraft has been elevated for consecutive weeks, finishing Christmas Day\u2019s loss against the Cowboys with just one snap on the special-teams unit. With Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Treylon Burks and Chris Moore all healthy and active, Cracraft is likely in line to see the same minimal special-teams snap share in Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n Hogs Haven<\/p>\n Washington Commanders vs Philadelphia Eagles Week 18: Five Questions with Bleeding Green Nation<\/a><\/p>\n 1) What were your big takeaways from the Week 16 matchup between the Commanders and Eagles?<\/p>\n I do think it\u2019s silly how the Commanders took such offense to the Eagles going for two late in the game. Why wait until then to show that kind of fight? Also, laughable to hear Dan Quinn talk tough about how Washington was going to see the Eagles again in two weeks. When it seemed like the Eagles will be resting their starters, which we now know is exactly the case. For Quinn to be afraid of going for it on fourth down (punted on 4th-and-4 from the minus 40-yard line down 11 with 9 minutes to go \u2026 and punted on 4th-and-6 from the minus 44-yard line down 11 with just 6:44 to go) and then act all tough in the postgame presser? That\u2019s unserious behavior to me.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n 2) How far do you think the Eagles will get in the post-season and what do you think will be their biggest secret to success or stumbling block?<\/p>\n I think the Eagles can win the Super Bowl. Vic Fangio\u2019s defense is awesome. Jalen Hurts has played well in the biggest games of his career. There is no juggernaut the Eagles simply can\u2019t beat.<\/p>\n Bleeding Green Nation<\/p>\n
