"This campaign hasn't been a profitable one for the Commanders. They were expected to go deep into the postseason once again, but injuries and poor performances have left the franchise at 3-7, with far more questions than answers about the team's long-term future. Quinn is taking over defensive play-calling from Joe Whitt Jr. in a desperate attempt for improvements after their latest capitulation against the Detroit Lions."
"With Pro Bowl defensive lineman Daron Payne suspended after p unching Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Commanders will be starting Johnny Newton alongside Javon Kinlaw on the interior. This is a massive opportunity for the 2024 second-round pick, and he must deliver. Newton has flashed from a rotational role, but his inconsistent run-stopping capabilities have stunted his development. But if the Commanders can be successful on early downs, there should be pass-rushing chances for the former Illinois star to make an impression."
The Washington Commanders enter Week 11 at 3-7 after an injury-plagued, underperforming start to the season. Defensive coordinator changes have arrived as Dan Quinn resumes defensive play-calling to spark improvement following a collapse against Detroit. Pro Bowl lineman Daron Payne faces suspension, elevating Johnny Newton to a starting interior role alongside Javon Kinlaw and presenting a crucial opportunity for the rookie pass rusher. The offense under Mike McDaniel remains capable of quick scoring, while the passing attack has been inconsistent and limited by injuries. Robbie Chosen was added to the active roster and could emerge as a receiving option.
