Commanders' players agree with Dan Quinn's big decision
Washington players seemingly agreed with Dan Quinn's decision for an extra practice on Monday.
On Sunday, it came as a surprise to learn that the Washington Commanders were canceling Monday's walkthrough just two days before their joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens. However, head coach Dan Quinn announced that the team would instead have a regular practice, marking two days of practice before Wednesday's joint scrimmage.
Quinn explained that the decision was made to provide more reps to today's group, with the goal of addressing the team's identity issues. He clarified that the decision was not solely based on Saturday's 17-13 preseason loss to the Detroit Lions. His players, both rookies and veterans, agreed with his decision. Rookie center Matt Gulbin stated that they did not play to the standard they wanted, and veteran linebacker Frankie Luvu didn't mind either way, as work is still in camp mode.
Right guard Sam Cosmi appreciated the extra work, believing it was necessary after breaking down the film from the loss to Detroit. After the disappointing loss, Quinn expressed his dissatisfaction with the overall performance, which his players seemed to echo. This joint scrimmage with Baltimore represents a crucial week for the Washington Commanders as they look to address their performance issues.
