"The Washington Commanders took one last roll of the dice in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Head coach Dan Quinn moved defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. from the booth to the sideline amid pressure. They believed this could help improve communication, and it reportedly came at the players' request. It did not have the desired effect. Whitt's defense was nothing short of woeful as the Commanders fell to another crippling loss on home soil."
"The season is now officially over at 3-7. And Quinn needs to make a tough decision on his assistant's future. Commanders need a different defensive approach as 2025 season implodes The Commanders were no match for Detroit's high-octane offense. Lions head coach Dan Campbell appeared to take over the offensive play-calling duties, and they scored touchdowns on their first three possessions. Washington's soft underbelly was once again exposed, and the same problems that have blighted the team's chances this season kept popping up."
The Washington Commanders moved defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. from the booth to the sideline in Week 10, reportedly at players' request, to improve communication. The change failed as Detroit scored touchdowns on its first three possessions and dominated the Commanders. The team lost at home and fell to 3-7, effectively ending the season. Head coach Dan Quinn faces a decision about Whitt's future amid concerns that defensive problems have persisted since last year. Time constraints before an international game in Spain may delay action, but the upcoming bye week offers an opportunity for change.
