"Dan Quinn is taking over defensive play-calling from coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. Just what benefits this will bring to the Washington Commanders is up for debate. Still, the head coach believes this was the only way to improve this free-falling unit's chances after a complete capitulation over the last month. Quinn has a lot of hard work ahead. This change has to go well, and it will count for nothing if the players cannot raise their performance levels. They have to execute more effectively."
"Hawkins has the prototypical size and length Quinn typically looks for in his cornerbacks. The 6-foot-3 defensive back has missed a lot of football over the last two years due to injury. Now, he's back, and after getting a few weeks to immerse himself in the team's way of thinking, he's officially got the green light to feature in some capacity."
Dan Quinn will take over defensive play-calling from Joe Whitt Jr. The head coach believes this move is necessary after a collapse over the last month. Quinn faces significant pressure to improve execution and player performance quickly. The Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins will test any immediate changes. Mike McDaniel remains on the hot seat as an offensive-minded coach with explosive playmakers. The Commanders elevated Tre Hawkins from the practice squad due to severe cornerback shortages. Marshon Lattimore suffered a season-ending torn ACL and rookie Trey Amos fractured his fibula. Hawkins offers ideal size but carries injury history and limited recent game reps.
