Dan Quinn speaks to the media after practice
Dan Quinn spoke to the media after the Washington Commanders’ Friday practice. He named team captains for this week, including backup QB Marcus Mariota getting the nod against the team that drafted him, the Tennessee Titans. CB Marshon Lattimore is getting closer, and Quinn said you could feel his energy in practice today. He will be evaluated today and tomorrow, but it’s very likely that he won’t make his debut with Washington until after the bye, when the Commanders visit his former team, the New Orleans Saints.
Quinn was asked about Jayden Daniels, and his comments about getting his ribs wrapped during games due to the cold(not the injury). Quinn said they are an outdoors team, and they have held every practice outside since training camp except for one, last Friday. He also talked about taking accountability, and taking responsibility for the message to get across.

Accountability:
Dan Quinn says he’s not “always polyanna” when delivering messages to his team despite a positive exterior.
Said accountability all around is needed for a message to set in.

Shotgun/pistol on 3rd/4th down:
There are instances every week where a QB lines up in shotgun/pistol on 3rd/4th and short rather than under center. Seems counter intuitive, so I asked the defensive-minded Dan Quinn for his assessment. pic.twitter.com/GHGOdx2KBS
