While he was shut down for the final three games, the staff put together a tape that showed every play where he scrambled in 2025. He'd played just seven games because of various injuries, and his homework assignment was to determine which plays he should've given up on to avoid an unnecessary hit.

Daniels tasked with reducing scrambling risk; staff emphasizes next-play mentality.

Daniels played just seven games in 2025 due to various injuries. The Commanders coaching staff has tasked him with reducing unnecessary scrambling risk; they showed him tape of every scramble he took in 2025 and assigned homework to determine which plays he should have abandoned to avoid hits. Coach Dan Quinn emphasized the shift: 'The first order of business was to say, Of these, which play is it time to move on to the next play?' The staff intends for scrambling to be a feature of the offense, not a primary weapon, and Quinn noted Daniels has improved his decision-making in practice, including throwing the ball away when appropriate.
