"Nothing much has gone right for the Washington Commanders this season. It's a mess, especially defensively, and head coach Dan Quinn is taking one last roll of the dice in pursuit of turning the tide. The Commanders confirmed that defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. will be moving back to the sideline from the booth to call plays in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions."
"I gotta do a better job getting the coaches to get the players to understand how we're going to do it. And we gotta get this thing turned. We gotta get it turned right now. The amount of explosives that we're giving up in the pass game is really frustrating, because they're coming from mistakes that really shouldn't happen, and I gotta do a better job, or we gotta do a better job of getting that communicated."
"Quinn doesn't want to make any coaching changes this season. He's made that clear, and his close connection to Whitt from their time together on the Dallas Cowboys might give him a longer leash than most. At the same time, things cannot continue like this much longer, especially with the head coach under fire for some of the decisions this season."
The Washington Commanders have struggled this season, particularly on defense, prompting a sideline move for defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. to call plays in Week 10. The team faces significant personnel absences, including quarterback Jayden Daniels, which makes competitiveness more difficult. Whitt emphasized the urgency of correcting communication failures and avoidable mistakes that have led to explosive pass plays. Head coach Dan Quinn prefers not to make coaching changes and retains loyalty to Whitt based on their past connection, but the staff faces increased scrutiny if results do not improve quickly.
