Some people can't just let folks move on.
The Washington Commanders have a lot to prove to people this season and there's not going to be a whole lot of patience despite the team coming off a four-win 2023 and head coach Dan Quinn being in his first season at the controls.
Take Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith, whose struggles in his rookie season are being laid at the feet of decisions Quinn either made or went along with before taking the head coaching job in Washington. "Dallas drafted Smith — decried as a reach by some at the time — in the first round to finally solve the weak underbelly the team’s defense had against the run over the past few years," Sam Monson of Pro Football Focuswhen identifying the Cowboys lineman as a player under pressure to perform in 2024. "Smith weighed 323 pounds at the NFL Combine, and the one thing he excelled at in college was stuffing the run and anchoring the middle of the line.
Monson doesn't directly cast a stone at Quinn here, but without a doubt as the defensive coordinator he has a hand in making a decision that potentially derailed his own first round pick's potential.
