Antonio Williams on where he prefers to play on the field:
“I prefer everything. I feel like that’s when I’m at my best. I feel like I’m a versatile player and I can line up everywhere and run every route. So, I just like being able to go everywhere and I feel like I just have a lot of freedom to do that in this offense.”
Leo Chenal on what he likes about Daronte Jones’ defense:
“It really involves the linebackers. It involves playing to their skill set, so it’s really cool being able to walk through different things with coaches … They really want to have us take advantage of what we’re really good at.

Dan Quinn on needing to have a main guy in the running back room:
“Yeah, I think it’s probably some main guys in certain parts where it’s not maybe be one person, you know, the entire time. But I do like the competition in the group. Like I said, I thought Rachaad’s brought some things on the, you know, the catching and receiving phase of things.

Oweh is being brought on to be the team’s top pass rusher, and his cap number backs up that. One potential scenario to look out for is inside linebacker Frankie Luvu coming in on passing situations and playing on the edge.
All in all, the Commanders have the depth and talent to have a very productive group, but they do not have a proven, consistent “war daddy” in the room heading into camp. New defensive coordinator Daronte Jones will have better pieces to work with than his predecessor Joe Whitt, but it is up...
