With the Washington Commanders bringing rookies and veterans together for the first set of OTAs coach Dan Quinn is looking for every avenue to maximize their time.
ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders got their Phase 3 operations rolling Tuesday with veteran players joining the rookies for organized team activities for the first time this offseason.
For Commanders head coach Dan Quinn and his staff it was the first opportunity to really start piecing together they systems with the players who are going to be entrusted to execute them in the coming season.And anyone who thought the uptempo practices we saw in the rookie minicamp was going to take a step down with Washington veterans in town, those thoughts were quickly put to rest.
"What's fun about this is we want to get as many reps as you can. So you may even see it seven-on-seven we'll have two fields going at the same time," coach Quinn said before practice. "And the purpose behind that in a seven-on-seven setting is to get more reps for everything...And I think as you're installing a new system, that's an important piece of this, just time on task and reps of it.
It's a solution to maximizing time that is as simple as it is amazing that it's a new wrinkle to what this new staff is doing as they continue to make their mark on the way Commanders football operates.David Harrison has covered the NFL since 2015 as a digital content creator in both written and audio media.
