Dan Quinn could see that changes were needed this offseason. He freely admits he waited too long to make the desired alterations during his time as the Atlanta Falcons' head coach. He was not going to make the same mistake with the Washington Commanders.
The moves were drastic. Joe Whitt Jr. and Kliff Kingsbury were both removed from the equation. They were replaced by Daronte Jones and David Blough, who have innovative ideas but no play-calling experience in the NFL pressure cooker. It's a monumental gamble, but it just might work if the personnel is enhanced by general manager Adam Peters.
