How Lane Johnson’s Retirement Will Affect the Eagles and More Questions for Week 5

Pelisseroyou wouldn't think it. I think if you walked up to your average football fan on the street and said, hey, who's alone in first place in the NFC East? They're not getting to the Giants.

PelisseroNo. They're not guessing that because every headline's been, Jackson Dart's hurt, Brian Burns is hurt.

PelisseroBut there's going to be a lot of questions about how long you stick with Jameis Winston. And my answer would be you stick with him as long as you win.

PelisseroI do think you take this seriously, that they could be the division champs. Because right now, Dallas is still trying to figure out their defense. They took the big swing on Joey Porter Jr. We'll see if that stabilizes some things. You've got a bright young coordinator in Christian Parker, who's probably growing into the job a little bit here.

PelisseroYou have the Eagles, who just last week, obviously, the last two games, hasn't been great and blowing the lead against the Rams. I still think the Eagles are a really tough team. And I'm not counting out the Commanders. That's a big game.

PelisseroThis weekend, Jaden Daniels should be back barring complications in practice. This is Washington's chance to stay afloat in the NFC East in the early going here. It's a home game for them. And Jameis, we all know what the Jameis Winston experience is. It's a roller coaster. He's going to make some plays. He's also going to give you a chance to make some plays.

PelisseroThat defense has been pretty salty. Durante Jones learned a lot from Brian Flores in Minnesota. I've been impressed with the young coordinators. It's a big game for them.
