Daronte Jones hire sends a quiet warning to underachieving Commanders starter

Daronte Jones is sure to shake things up across the Washington Commanders' defense. Given how this unit has failed to meet even modest expectations over the last two years, no fan will be complaining about it.

Jones may have no NFL play-calling experience, but he's an accomplished coach who knows how to get the most out of his players. This is especially significant for the defensive backs, as the Minnesota Vikings regularly rank among the best in most pass defense metrics. That carries a lot of weight, and anyone not buying into his way of thinking will be shown the door.
