Commanders' Dan Quinn opens up on first-year coordinators’ growing pains
Even more, Quinn decided the best route was to go with two first-year coordinators: David Blough (offense) and Daronte Jones (defense).
Key points
- The Commanders have two new coordinators, yes, hired by Quinn this past offseason.
- He elected to go inside for five more yards; however, he was tackled with 42 seconds remaining and with no timeouts, it took the Commanders 12 seconds to run up the field 40 yards, get everyone set, and spike the ball.
- We want to get to the bottom of that and get the things correct that we want.” Indeed, the final minute was another bad exhibition by the Commanders, last week vs.
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn’s first question Wednesday was about the late-game failures.
John Keim of ESPN directly asked Quinn Wednesday, “How much do you think that plays into some of the growing pains in those areas?
Additional details
- The Commanders hustled to the line, got set, and Daniels spiked the ball with 09 seconds left in the game.
- Naturally, Quinn didn’t want to elaborate either, Wednesday.
- When the ball is around the 50, it takes your receivers longer to get to the end zone, so you need more protection time before passing.
- After a Daniels incompletion, Daniels scrambled to his right, got out of bounds for a one-yard gain, and left 20 seconds on the clock.
- Mysteriously, Daniels threw to the five-yard line for Diggs, who seemed to understand that if he caught that ball, the game was over.
