Dan Quinn addressing the media. Jonathan Allen has a pec tear, the head coach said. Allen will undergo surgery and will be done for the season

The loss of Jon Allen is significant but the Commanders are better-served to replace him right now than they were in past seasons.
1) Drafted Johnny Newton in 1st Round.
2) Kept Phidarian Mathis (’22 2nd Rd) on roster.
3) Sheldon Day (74 career games) on prax squad.— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 14, 2024

Dan Quinn said CB Emmanuel Forbes was inactive Sunday because the team wanted an extra DL up and the Ravens don’t play much with 3WR.

Quinn: “I was honestly proud as hell with the fight we showed in the game … I also think there’s definitely another gear. It’s a gear we need to get to.”
The gear is reachable, based on what Quinn heard said postgame in the locker room: “We’re f’ing going to learn from this.”

The Washington Commanders are a good team.
They are not a great team just yet.
However, rookie QB Jayden Daniels continues to blossom as an NFL passer.
Today, I asked head coach Dan Quinn about Jayden’s development in the pocket.

2 plays in this clip. 1st play comes from week 2 vs the Giants. Zaccheaus lines up to the left, runs a pivot route to grab safety, vacate space behind him. Daniels cant quite hit it under pressure. 2nd play from yesterday vs Ravens. Same scheme, this time Daniels hits it for a TD pic.twitter.com/j7Lxu1fRaG
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 14, 2024
Think this was Daniels best throw of the game. Big criticisms of Daniels during the draft process were his ability to throw under pressure and his ability to hit tight windows over the middle. Does both on this play. Great anticipation to hit Ertz behind zone LB. pic.twitter.com/UP5G1WClY6

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! You were waiting for him to get blasted! That was an illegal hit by Hamilton! Definition of helmet to helmet! Every time you tweet it proves why it says “Ex-NFL Scout” in your bio! #RaiseHail https://t.co/L3HO8LSE2g

The highest-graded Commanders in Week 6 vs the Ravens:
Jayden Daniels – 78.6
Terry McLaurin – 78.6
Mike Sainristil – 75.0
Bobby Wagner – 74.8
Noah Brown – 74.0 pic.twitter.com/IX3Uac6yk2— PFF WAS Commanders (@PFF_Washington) October 14, 2024
Finished my watch through of the Commanders offense from yesterday, some notes:
-Took Kingsbury & the offense some time to get into rhythm. Went 11 personnel heavy for 1st 3 drives, didn’t get much going. On the 4th drive, midway through Q2, he figured it out, varied personnel
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 14, 2024
-12 and 21 personnel are the life of the offense. 12 personnel play-action stuff was strong yesterday, Kliff did a nice job getting to lots of play-action in 2nd half despite run game never thriving. His creativity is great with 21 – like the flea flicker screen to Ekeler
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 14, 2024
Daniels was excellent on those play-action passes by the way. Threw with timing, anticipation, drove the ball when needed, had touch when needed. Hit throws over the middle (which some doubted he could), hit a nice sail to Ertz to his left off PA too
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 14, 2024
-Run game left some out there. RBs made some early cuts when they could have got more staying patient. BAL were looking to stop the run though & were quick to any read-option. Clear that WAS wasn’t desperate to establish the run either, knew play-action/pass bigger threat vs BAL
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 14, 2024
Numbers from my own charting (so could be wrong) on play-action:
12 play-actions, 9/11 143 yards, 1 scramble for 9 yards
21 personnel play-action – 1/1 for 25 yards
12 personnel play-action – 4/6 for 78 yards
11 personnel play-action – 4/4 for 40 yards, 1 scramble for 9 yards— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 14, 2024
Washington over the 2019-2023 NFL Drafts made six first-round picks. Not a single one of those players played for the #Commanders at the Ravens due to each guy having been released/traded or being a healthy inactive. Incredible. This ineptitude is what Adam Peters is here to fix.

Lamar Jackson & Derrick Henry have combined for 1,107 rush yards in the first 6 games of the season, the most by any QB-RB duo since at least 1950.
The previous high: Browns QB Frank Ryan & HOF Jim Brown in 1963. Ryan had 93 of their 1,024 combined yds.#RavensFlock @NFLPlus
