there was two hires last night

Re: Welcome Joe Whitt Jr. (DC)
 

this line in the article made me chuckle

[I]Eric Bieniemy, who has one year left on his contract, served as the Commanders' offensive coordinator this past season.[/I]

I love for them to keep EB and he just roams around the facility doing nothing with his giant bowling ball head

Re: Welcome Joe Whitt Jr. (DC)
 

I like this move. 50/50 on Kingsbury but we'll see.

Re: Welcome Joe Whitt Jr. (DC)
 

Don't know anything about this guy but the fact that Quinn brought him in is good enough for me. I'm excited to see what our defense looks like! I'm hoping that Quinn/Whitt's defense will match Gregg Williams' level when he was our DC - that time was probably the last time we had a great defense since.

Re: Welcome Joe Whitt Jr. (DC)
 

Like the hire. Really hope Al Harris is next to come on this staff. He said he would follow Quinn, so we'll see.

I'd be happy with Al Harris as our secondary coach.

Re: Welcome Joe Whitt Jr. (DC)
 

This hire makes total sense. He has been successful and he knows Quinn's system. This decision probably didn't take much thought from Quinn. Awesome for Whitt to get his chance.

Rivera won't be fielding the defensive roster and the coaching is a clear upgrade, defense should be at least decent next year. Which is a big upgrade from fresh dog-shit on your shoe like 2023.

Re: Welcome Joe Whitt Jr. (DC)
 

he comes from a family of great football minds too . . .

Re: Welcome Joe Whitt Jr. (DC)
 

Seems like a solid hire. I'd imagine DQ will be heavily involved with the defensive side.

I'm mildly surprised to hear Whitt is gonna be playcaller too. Goes to show the trust DQ has in his guys. Hope this is the last time we need new coordinators for a while.

I like the hire too. We're pretty thin on talent though.

Pretty thin for sure, sadly, that might be complimentary lol. I trust Peters/Quinn/Whitt to fix the defensive schemes and talent though.

I'm more confident about the defense being improved than the offense (and I like the Kliff hire).

If we have a good FA/draft, it's the NFL, we could be competitive next season. If we have a great FA/draft, the NFCE is very weird, maybe we can shock the world.

The NFC East is very weird in fact all four teams will have brand new defensive coordinators. Is your definitely is wide open regardless of past performance.

One of my favorite things about Snyder being gone: CRed is back!!

And he uses maybe one of the most underrated Redskins of all times: Chris Samuels. C.S. was a fucking hog.

I have to give kudos to all of you who endured the last of Snyder. I certainly have missed the camraderie here.
