'Explosive & Physical!' Dan Quinn Reveals Commanders Plan Moving Forward

The Washington Commanders have moved on from their Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and turned their sights to their NFC East Rival New York Giants. The two teams will lock horns on Sunday for the Commanders home opener.

One of the things that was missing from that game were explosive plays down the field, which is quarterback Jayden Daniels’ bread and butter. He took one big shot down field and missed a wide-open Terry McLaurin then went back to dumping the ball off underneath.

Dan Quinn has the plan to fix that problem.

“If I had to say two right now, it'd be explosive and physical,” Quinn said. “The explosive comes offensively and on the return game from big plays, through the run game, through play action, through the passing game, ones that can change field position.

“And those are the explosive plays that you have to keep going and being aggressive to go.”

Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was very reserved in his play calling for most of the game. We don’t know if he was just trying to get Daniels acclimated to the NFL, or if he just scared to “let it rip.”

Either way, the Commanders still have holes on their team, so if they want to win some games, they are going to have to put up some points.

They will have plenty of opportunity to do that against a poor defense when the Giants come to town Sunday.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
