Most Washington Commanders fans seem to be fairly happy with their decision to hire former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as their next head coach, but those who watched Quinn closely have noticed a fatal flaw that could put a lid on their potential.
When Quinn was with the Cowboys, he often struggled against NFC rivals like the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, and Los Angeles Rams, all of whom have offenses operated by Kyle Shanahan or someone derived from his coaching tree. Former Shanahan protege Matt LaFleur, who famously obliterated Dallas' defense in the postseason, was up to his old tricks again.
