Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn is working with two new coordinators. That’s what a 5-12 disaster season will bring. Quinn promoted David Blough from the quarterbacks room, where he was an assistant. Quinn imported Daronte Jones from Minnesota, where he studied under Brian Flores’ esteemed defensive mind.

That’s, well, a lot. He’s capable of winning on the outside, too, which shows up a ton on his tape. Where will the Commanders play their third-round pick? Most […]
