Commanders HC Dan Quinn on having new coordinators on both sides of the ball: \u201cI know we may talk of two first-time coordinators, but I also recognize that everybody needs their first stop and we\u2019re going to set them up in the right way.\u201d (Nicki Jhabvala<\/a>) Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones was asked what the team was getting with the hire of new DC Christian Parker.<\/p>\n \u201cVery, very smart,\u201d Jones told reporters at the Senior Bowl, via Todd Archer of ESPN<\/a>. \u201cGreat communicator, which at the end of the day, one of our top priorities is to be a great teacher. These defenses are very complicated, but at the same time, he was really good at explaining it not only to coach [Brian] Schottenheimer and to [vice president of player personnel Will McClay], but to Jerry [Jones] and myself that you want to make complicated things seem easy so players can use their athletic ability and play fast and do the things you want them to do, have the identity you want them to have on that side of the ball. He was just outstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n New Giants HC\u00a0John Harbaugh was among four coaches who received first-place votes for the best offseason hire, with one anonymous executive saying, \u201cHarbaugh seems like a really good fit. I think he\u2019ll do well. They\u2019ll be really good with their defensive personnel right away. I think they\u2019ll take a Chargers-type of jump when Jim (Harbaugh) took over.\u201d (The Athletic<\/a>) Looking for the latest NFL Insider News & Rumors?<\/p>\n Be sure to follow NFL Trade Rumors<\/a> on X.com<\/a>\u00a0and FACEBOOK<\/a>\u00a0for breaking NFL News and Rumors for all 32 teams!<\/p>\n
\nWashington announced<\/a> they have hired Eric Henderson<\/a> as DL coach\/run game coordinator, D.J. Williams<\/a> as QBs coach and Danny Etling as assistant QBs coach.\u00a0
\nQuinn also announced they have promoted assistant DBs coach William Gay<\/a> to CB coach. (Ben Standig<\/a>)
\nQuinn talked about new OC David Blough<\/a>\u2018s inexperience calling plays: \u201cI know he hasn\u2019t been coaching a long time, but when you\u2019re a backup QB you have different experiences\u2026When you haven\u2019t called plays, you\u2019ve been waiting for it.\u201d (JP Finlay<\/a>)
\nHe also spoke about the offensive changes, including moving on from OC Kliff Kingsbury<\/a>: \u201cI thought it was time for change, a new vision on how we want to go about it.\u201d (John Keim<\/a>)
\nQuinn cited new DC Daronte Jones\u2018 vision, ability to create takeaways and disguises as the biggest reasons he liked him: \u201cFrom a football standpoint we hit it off quickly.\u201d (Keim<\/a>)
\nWith the Blough hire, Quinn explained how much QB Jayden Daniels<\/a> factored into the decision: \u201cHe drives a lot of the thinkin. The ability to connect with him is a big deal for us. \u2026 Jayden wasn\u2019t the deciding factor but it was a good factor.\u201d (Keim<\/a>)
\nQuinn outlined how the offense is going to look under Blough: \u201cIt\u2019ll look different \u2026 This is going to be an aggressive, balance attack that will have more under-center than we have in the past. \u2026 We\u2019re going to feature every part of Jayden that makes him unique and special, but also the the run action.\u201d (Keim<\/a>)
\nSchematically, Jones said he has experience in all types but expects to pull mostly from Vikings DC Brian Flores\u2018 style. (Standig<\/a>)
\nJones had high praise for LB Frankie Luvu<\/a>: \u201cI love Frankie Luvu<\/a>,, a guy before I got here we would watch. I love his athleticism\u2026 he\u2019s best going downhill\u2026 want to get him matched up on running backs [in protection].\u201d (Keim<\/a>)<\/p>\n
\nThe Giants are expected to hire Titans linebackers coach Frank Bush. (Matt Zenitz<\/a>)<\/p>\n
