The Washington Commanders defensive coordinator spoke to media on Thursday.
, defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.'s unit displayed that physicality as they were allowed to fully compete with their own offense for the last time before the regular season gets started.Aug 17, 2024; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Washington Commanders cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and safety Darrick Forrest warm up before the game against the against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.
For Whitt, he wants opponents to understand that when they get ready to face the Commanders defense that means two things. First, it's going to be a physical contest from the opening whistle to the final one, no matter the game result. Second, that any time the offense puts the ball in play his defense is going to look to take it from them.
The only part coaches Quinn and Whitt aren't fully satisfied with yet is how the takeaway business is trending for their team. Yet, the Commanders defense has only forced one this preseason, coming on a strip-sack by outside linebacker Jamin Davis.
