"It'll be an overseas matchup in Madrid against the Miami Dolphins, and one significant change is in store. Quinn will take over in-game defensive coordinator duties from Joe Whitt Jr., who has been demoted to a lesser role within the organization. This move had to be made. It also puts the Commanders' bench boss firmly under the microscope. If he can't turn the defense around, he's the only one left to fall on the sword - and he's well aware of that."
"The first step towards solving any problem is admitting there is one. Quinn comes from a defensive background and has Super Bowl-winning success as a coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks, so he's certainly qualified to take on this additional responsibility. He's determined to do everything in his power to find a fix, but now the question is: will it be enough?"
Washington finished the most difficult part of its schedule and now faces one more game in Madrid against the Miami Dolphins before a long-awaited Week 12 bye. Dan Quinn will assume in-game defensive coordinator duties after Joe Whitt Jr. was demoted to a lesser role. Quinn acknowledged the defense's persistent struggles and has taken accountability while seeking solutions. Quinn brings a defensive background and Super Bowl-winning coordinator experience with the Seattle Seahawks, but the roster lacks the elite talent and depth of his former Seattle units, with key pass-rushers injured and aged veterans in diminished roles. Quinn faces intense scrutiny to produce results.
