Dan Quinn is taking over defensive play-calling from coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. Just what benefits this will bring to the Washington Commanders is up for debate. Still, the head coach believes this was the only way to improve this free-falling unit's chances after a complete capitulation over the last month.
Quinn has a lot of hard work ahead. This change has to go well, and it will count for nothing if the players cannot raise their performance levels. They have to execute more effectively. Otherwise, the pressure is only going to build on the former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator.
