Dan Quinn sheds light on decision to keep Jayden Daniels on the field, but it won't be answers Commanders fans want to hear

Dan Quinn speaks on the decision to leave Jayden Daniels in

Everyone wanted to hear from head coach Dan Quinn after the game and get insight into what went into the decision to keep Daniels in the game before the injury happened. Fans probably won't like what he had to say when he was asked if pulling him was a consideration.

"Yeah, not in that space," Quinn said. "I mean, obviously, like, the hindsight, you don't want to think that way where an injury could take place. Obviously, we're more conservative in that spot, to you know, run and hand off and not have reads to go. But just the end result, I'm bummed."

Quinn was then asked more specifically if Daniels' playing style added any extra thought since he likes to scramble, and he's more prone to getting hit, and the play just wasn't what they had called up.

"Obviously, I'm just like gutted by this," Quinn added. "Bummed. You know, we don't have any read plays on it. And the one that he was on injured is, you know, there's usually a runner or throw to the flat. It's not a scramble. So it wasn't a designed read or play, you know, into that spot. If we run it, you know, 50 times, it's either hand off or throw, you know. So it's, yeah, it's a bummer, man, in a big way."

Regardless of what the coaching staff's thought process was to keep Daniels on the field in a blowout, it goes against everything they preached about doing the right thing and protecting the quarterback during his two other injuries he suffered this season. This is the kind of decision that will quickly stir up talk about changes needing to be made, whether they like it or not.
