Let’s break down the rookie’s 16 runs from his debut Sunday in Tampa. Actually, make that 14 runs.
[A] deeper look at Daniels’s running during the Commanders’ 37-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday should soothe some concerns.
Let’s start here: Two rushes weren’t real. One was a kneel before halftime, and another was a swing pass that went backward and was therefore labeled a fumbled rush.
Of his 14 actual runs, seven were scrambles.
Scrambling seven times in one game is a lot. It happens only a few times each season.
