Daily Slop - 31 Aug 24: Commanders roster, coaching and opponent matchups come under scrutiny as season opener approaches

Yes, the Washington Commanders have had a great offseason. They got the biggest thing right: hiring general manager Adam Peters away from the San Francisco 49ers. They got the second-biggest thing right: being so bad last season that they were able to take a shot at a potential franchise quarterback in Jayden Daniels.

They, probably, got the third-biggest thing right: turning what looked like a failed dalliance with Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson into hiring Dan Quinn. He has melded his limitless energy and hard-earned lessons from his last head-coaching stint with what Washington and its still-new ownership and front office need: someone who knows what he wants in a football team, who can sell it and teach it.
