Grant's expectations for the Commanders have changed due to their success and anything short of a playoff win would feel like a failure to him at this point.

00:00Stop viewing yourselves as losers.
00:02Stop viewing yourselves as we shouldn't be here anyway.
00:04Sure you should, only Detroit's definitively better than you.
00:07You're every bit as good as any of these other teams.
00:10She loves you, you're good looking
00:11and she wants to hang out with you because you're fun.
00:13So if they don't make the playoffs, yeah, that's a letdown.
00:16If they don't win a playoff game,
00:17yeah, they should win a playoff game.
00:19They've got a really good quarterback
00:21and improving defense.
00:22They have everything they need.
00:24So I'm not house money guy.
00:26I will, when the season ends,
00:29properly be able to get back to
00:31what an awesome year this was.
00:34They're so far ahead of schedule.
00:35But that is for after the season.
00:37Right now, the work has been done.
00:40There was a time when they didn't belong,
00:44when it didn't matter
00:45because they weren't going to be here.
00:48They are now.
00:49Whoops, sometimes you gotta plan
00:52until you get punched in the face.
00:53You woke up and now you're here.
00:56You gotta take advantage of this.
00:57I'm not just gonna do the house money thing.
00:59You lose to the Steelers, no problem.
01:01Lose to the Eagles, it happens.
01:02You cannot lose to Dallas in these two games
01:04when they're terrible.
01:05You cannot lose to Tennessee Titans at home
01:10or the Saints, you gotta split.
01:12You gotta go three in one in those four terrible team games
01:14that I just mentioned.
01:16Like take advantage of this.
01:18So yeah, I have recalibrated for sure
01:20because these opportunities do not come around very often.
01:22At the beginning of Rivera, and I apologize,
01:26I'll give you the floor in a second.
01:27At the beginning of Rivera, everyone just said,
01:28oh, who cares?
01:30They just won the division.
01:32It's the first year of many.
01:34Well, just wait.
01:35It was the closest they were at any point.
01:36The best they ever got.
01:37For the next three years, it got worse and worse
01:39and worse and worse and worse and worse and worse.
01:42It's not linear.
01:43You just don't know if Jaden Daniels is gonna be healthy
01:46in September next year.
01:47He's gonna play a full season.
01:49You never know.
01:50So you've got the chance right now.
