Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn addressed the media Monday afternoon to give some final thoughts on the 27-22 win over the New York Giants before moving on to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Here are some of the highlights from his press conference.

The run game is versatile

The Commanders were without a big piece of their offense against the Giants, as Brian Robinson Jr. was ruled out of the division matchup 90 minutes before kickoff. The loss didn't seem to rattle the unit, though, as it still managed to put up 149 yards on 38 carries.

The fact that Washington can do so much without one of their key pieces is what makes their third-ranked ground attack so difficult to defend.

"There's gap schemes, there's zone schemes, and then defending us is really all 11 [players]," Quinn said.

Jayden Daniels' skills with his legs adds another wrinkle that defenses need to account for in their game plan. Daniels, who is second behind Lamar Jackson quarterback rushing yards, has the fifth highest rush grade in the NFL from Pro Football Focus and 308 yards after contact. He's also forced 19 missed tackles, which is also second among quarterbacks behind Jackson.

There's also Washington's other stable of running backs besides Robinson that allows for more versatility. Austin Ekeler's speed and quickness led to him collecting 42 yards on 11 carries. Chris Rodriguez has a similar physical style to Robinson, while Jeremy McNichols can be a blend of both.

Washington has run the ball 293 times this season -- one fewer attempt than the leading Baltimore Ravens. And considering they've rushed for 100 yards in eight of their nine games, the results are paying off, however they decide to get their backs the ball.

Jeremy Chinn's confidence is growing

Jeremy Chinn was all over the field against the Giants, leading the Commanders with 13 stops. That kind of production is not an anomaly, as Quinn can see how comfortable Chinn has become in the system.

"I really feel the confidence has been growing," Quinn said of Chinn. "I love seeing in-game the communication with he and with Quan [Martin], what they're seeing and how they're able to express that to one another."

Quinn noted that Chinn has worked to improve on his man coverage skills, both during and after practice. The best example of how that can pay off showed up against the Giants, when Chinn made an open-field tackle on Malik Nabers, who was trying to change direction on a screen play. Chinn ended up taking Nabers down for a five-yard loss.

"I thought yesterday's game was probably his best game so far," Quinn said.

The offensive line is gelling

The Commanders' offensive line was viewed as a possible weakness for the offense heading into the season, and some questioned their plans at left tackle and whether new additions like Nick Allegretti and Tyler Biadasz would work well together.

All those doubts have been wiped away over the past two months, as the group has turned into one of the better bunches of offensive linemen this season. They were first in run block win rate and sixth in pass block win rate, although the latter stat will likely improve when accounting for the group giving up zero sacks against the NFL's best pass-rush.

"To see them really kind of raising their level together, that's what I think makes a good offensive line," Quinn said.

Quinn pointed to how the group communicates on the sideline as an obvious sign of their growth. He praised Nick Allegretti for the way he works with Brandon Coleman and Biadasz to ensure that they're all on the same page the next time they take the field. To Quinn, that kind of energy ensures that "you can't help but get better playing next to somebody like that."

"It's not one player, but when you're good as a group," Quinn said. "That kind of toughness that they're displaying, it's a big deal."
