2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread

[EdmundDorf]

Defensively the coaching staff is looking good, but on offense it is a bit of a head scratcher to say the least, obviously Quinn is tapping into his network of defensive coaches but what sort of offensive network does Kingsbury have?

May I just say you Son is highly intelligent and posses acute knowledge of the football World, a wonderful Lad!

Also hired John Pagano (Chuck’s brother) has coached outside LB’s, solid staff
so far.

Always liked Ken Norton. He was such a scrappy tough player.

A lot of Seattle connections on defense, nothing wrong with that. Special Teams - Izzo is solid. Offense though. Very nervous about that side of the ball.

There is not an Oline coach in the world that could have helped the Giants oline last year. Probably not one that could have helped ours either. We will have hopefully 3 new starters there this season though.

Here’s the coaching staff so far:

HC - Dan Quinn (A)
OC - Kliff Kingsbury (A+)
DC - Joe Whitt Jr (A)
STC - Larry Izzo (A+)
OL - Bobby Johnson (D-, wtf lmao)
QBs - Tavita Pritchard (A)
LBs - Ken Norton Jr. (A+)
DPGC - Jason Simmons (B+)
PRS- Ryan Kerrigan (A+)
SDA - John Pagano (A)
TBD - Brian Johnson (B to A depending on what we give him)

I think Tavita Pritchard is going to be a big time coach one day. That is a great hire. Him and Kingsbury and a QB at 2 is a scenario with very high potential.

Why are you so high on Rogers at TE ? Didn’t he play one game at TE in college? He certainly has the physical attributes but I haven’t seen nearly enough (nobody has) to think he is starting material. I hope he is but there is just no proof.

Since the offensive line is probably the 2nd most important position group, in terms of what needs to be fixed on this team, I would definitely like to hear more about the decision to hire Bobby Johnson. I don't know much about him, but the hiring doesn't seem to get the same accolades as most of the other hires have. Still giving the benefit of the doubt to Quinn/Kingsbury, just want to know more about why they chose him, what attracted them to him, etc.

He was not bad in Buffalo. I believe the oline improved his first year there and dropped off after he left. You cannot judge the guy on what happened in NY. That oline was a train wreck.

At the end of the day its about the dudes you have.. If we have good players on the Line we will be ok. Coaching is a big part but without players a great coach doesn't do anything..

TEs coach....

Adam Schefter

Commanders hired former Buccaneers assistant coach David Raih as their tight ends coach, reuniting him with Kliff Kingsbury, whom he worked with in Arizona.

It will be interesting to see what we do with the TE position. I imagine Thomas is to be released, Bates is a blocking TE, Cole Turner disappeared later in the season and Rodgers is wild card but has potentials.

Wouldn't be surprised if the whole TE room was replaced. Probably isn't a bad idea. Need way better production there.

Best TE we have is Armani Rogers, unfortunately he’s coming back from an achilles injury
