“He adds the value of mobility and being outside the pocket and creating scrambles to run and on scrambles to pass,” Quinn said. “Teams wanted to try a certain unique thing, a spy or what have you, but we’ll just continue to look at that as we progress.”

Looking for WRs who were the best at all the things that receivers do

A film session breaking down how the Commanders may view their new additions to the defensive line
The Commanders added four defensive linemen during the initial free agency period. Jake Martin, Eddie Goldman, Deatrich Wise, and Javon Kinlaw were all brought in to help shift the identity of the Washington Commanders’ defensive front. The Commanders hope to eliminate the consistent setting of soft edges and the absence of a true disruptive presence among its interior defensive line.

Dan Quinn speaks to reporters at the NFL owners meetings in West Palm Beach, FL
Washington Commanders GM Adam Peters spoke to the media yesterday at the NFL owners meetings in West Palm Beach, FL, and today it was HC Dan Quinn’s turn in front of the microphones. Deebo Samuel will be a fun player for Kliff Kingsbury to work with in his offense, and Quinn said he’d be used “inside, outside, in the backfield, all the spots”.
