Dan Quinn speaks to the media before joint practice with the Jets
Dan Quinn and the Washington Commanders are in New Jersey today to have a joint practice with the New York Jets. The two teams will have their first preseason game on Saturday. The weather was a concern for today’s practice, but Quinn said the fields are draining well, they’ll be playing in this weather during the season, and if the weather gets worse, they can pause, or end practice if necessary.
Quinn is looking for speed and communication during today’s 7 on 7’s and team drills against the Jets. HE said that players that will play more during Saturday’s game will get less reps in practice today. Jayden Daniels is slated to start on Saturday, but not expected to play more than a series or two. He will likely see extensive work during today’s practice.

Commanders & Jets will have 7 v 7 period with all man coverage- big opportunity for corners

Dan Quinn shouting out the Morristown Little League team on the verge of the Little League WS ahead of practice today in NJ was really cool.
Quinn is from Morristown, which is a bike ride from the Jets facility. Quinn seems like a really good guy.

Sam Cosmi:
DQ says we should see Cosmi some today but sounds like a lot of fluidity with the O line
