Commanders

• Commanders HC Dan Quinn on having new coordinators on both sides of the ball: “I know we may talk of two first-time coordinators, but I also recognize that everybody needs their first stop and we’re going to set them up in the right way.” (Nicki Jhabvala)
• Washington announced they have hired Eric Henderson as DL coach/run game coordinator, D.J. Williams as QBs coach and Danny Etling as assistant QBs coach. 
• Quinn also announced they have promoted assistant DBs coach William Gay to CB coach. (Ben Standig)
• Quinn talked about new OC David Blough‘s inexperience calling plays: “I know he hasn’t been coaching a long time, but when you’re a backup QB you have different experiences…When you haven’t called plays, you’ve been waiting for it.” (JP Finlay)
• He also spoke about the offensive changes, including moving on from OC Kliff Kingsbury: “I thought it was time for change, a new vision on how we want to go about it.” (John Keim)
• Quinn cited new DC Daronte Jones‘ vision, ability to create takeaways and disguises as the biggest reasons he liked him: “From a football standpoint we hit it off quickly.” (Keim)
• With the Blough hire, Quinn explained how much QB Jayden Daniels factored into the decision: “He drives a lot of the thinkin. The ability to connect with him is a big deal for us. … Jayden wasn’t the deciding factor but it was a good factor.” (Keim)
• Quinn outlined how the offense is going to look under Blough: “It’ll look different … This is going to be an aggressive, balance attack that will have more under-center than we have in the past. … We’re going to feature every part of Jayden that makes him unique and special, but also the the run action.” (Keim)
• Schematically, Jones said he has experience in all types but expects to pull mostly from Vikings DC Brian Flores‘ style. (Standig)
• Jones had high praise for LB Frankie Luvu: “I love Frankie Luvu,, a guy before I got here we would watch. I love his athleticism… he’s best going downhill… want to get him matched up on running backs [in protection].” (Keim)

Cowboys

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones was asked what the team was getting with the hire of new DC Christian Parker.

“Very, very smart,” Jones told reporters at the Senior Bowl, via Todd Archer of ESPN. “Great 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.”

Giants

• New Giants HC John Harbaugh was among four coaches who received first-place votes for the best offseason hire, with one anonymous executive saying, “Harbaugh seems like a really good fit. I think he’ll do well. They’ll be really good with their defensive personnel right away. I think they’ll take a Chargers-type of jump when Jim (Harbaugh) took over.” (The Athletic)
• The Giants are expected to hire Titans linebackers coach Frank Bush. (Matt Zenitz)
