"After watching the Commanders get rolled over by the Detroit Lions offense, Quinn felt there was no option other than to take over defensive play-calling responsibilities from coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. He'll still be on the staff. Still, he'll be watching from the booth rather than forming the strategy. This was well-received mainly among the fan base. They became sick and tired of watching Whitt's product."
"Quinn is an exceptional defensive mind. He led the legendary Legion of Boom defense that spearheaded the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl. While the talent level in Washington is nowhere close to that, there is nothing to suggest he cannot get more out of the options available. Being tentative is not an option. Quinn must be bold and try everything to improve."
Dan Quinn has assumed defensive play-calling duties from coordinator Joe Whitt Jr., who will remain on staff but move to the booth. Fans reacted positively after a lopsided loss to the Detroit Lions and growing frustration with the previous approach. Injuries have affected personnel, but the defense lacked spark and cohesion. Quinn's résumé includes leading the Legion of Boom defense in Seattle to a Super Bowl, and he aims to extract more from the current roster despite lower talent levels. Quinn plans bold changes and youth infusion, including starting raw linebacker Jordan Magee to accelerate development and assess long-term potential over the remaining seven games.
