ALLEN ON QUINN AND PETERS: At tonight’s @1067theFan vs. @team980 event, our @JPFinlayNBCS caught up with #Commanders defensive captain Jonathan Allen about the hiring of head coach Dan Quinn, as well as new GM Adam Peters#HTTC@nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/1ViNs0B3P6

Jon Allen asked by @granthpaulsen about his future here. Said “Going into the offseason I was very frustrated,” but now more positive after speaking with Peters and is excited for next season.

Something to watch we’ve mentioned on the show. If they go the Shanahan-tree route there is nobody smarter and more well versed in the offense. Also a Quinn guy.
Logan could be an OC in a few years. That type of mind and person. Has had chances to join staffs in the past but… https://t.co/68g5hG4iJQ

Looking through my feed. Funny stuff. We just lived through the Ben Johnson “lock” era. Maybe – and hear me out – we wait for the Commanders to interview AND hire some coordinators and coaches before discussing their arrival in absolute terms.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) February 2, 2024
Dan Quinn is the new head coach of the Commanders.
Some love the hire.
Some don’t.@RealBramW told me, “there’s a real disconnect here between the people who follow this…and a segment of the fan base that’s a little disappointed because they expected someone else to get it.” pic.twitter.com/V9bm9gwt8v— Scott Abraham (@Scott7news) February 2, 2024
Media widely believed and reported, from the jump, that Johnson was a primary target/fit for Peters. And I don’t think they were wrong. Or that we were wrong to accept it. And likely he remained a true contender until withdrawing. But I don’t think he ever became the runaway…

@john_keim Mornin’. Any idea on when Quinn’s introductory press conference will be?

Probably Monday. Nothing official yet.

Jon Allen is asked by @kevinsheehanDC what he does at 2 (assuming Howell not the answer).
With the caveat that he doesn’t watch tape… trade up for Caleb Williams.

Doug Williams is the headliner, and he is arguably the best quarterback in the game.

We love to share the negative…. let’s get some positive shared about our team, shall we? I’d say this was pretty good….Top Ten in the NFL when it comes to sponsorship revenue #HTTC #Commanders pic.twitter.com/mjejbp5vcw

Jim Harbaugh on Michigan QB JJ McCarthy: “Don’t be surprised if/when he’s the number one QB off the board. That’s my prediction right now.”
Bold statement by the new #Chargers head coach.

Spoke with a source yesterday about Kubiak for Washington. Said he wasn’t confident Kubiak would be available based on other opportunities. Appears he was right. https://t.co/ERVVwPAEDC
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) February 2, 2024
Harbaugh said that team would have loved to keep DC Mike Macdonald, but Macdonald really wanted the Seattle job. Didn’t feel like there was anything team could do to keep him.

The NFL’s Jeff Miller on kickoffs: “We have analyzed the XFL rule, which you know is a bit of a departure from ours.… We’ve analyzed that rule to see whether or not there’s things that we can learn from there. There will be a number of other options that we’re taking a look at.” https://t.co/oZQCpTuPne

Went back to look at notes: there were 219 concussions diagnosed in the 2023 season (preseason and regular season games and practices).
— Judy Battista (@judybattista) February 2, 2024
Finally, NFL expects up to 8 more position-specific helmets to come on the market this off-season for quarterbacks and offensive and defensive linemen. Testing being done on future position-specific helmets for WRs and DBs.
— Judy Battista (@judybattista) February 2, 2024
NFL does a lot of concussion tests: 422 performed in the 2023 season. While concussion number has come down off the high of 281 from a few years ago, they want it to drop further. Guardian Caps during practices produced up to 50% drop in concussions for position groups.
— Judy Battista (@judybattista) February 2, 2024
Injuries were down this season, according to the NFL’s annual injury data. Players collectively missed 700 fewer games this season than last season, with the drop largely attributable to reductions in lower-extremity strains and knee injuries.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) February 2, 2024
There were 52 ACL tears suffered by NFL players in preseason and regular season games and practices this season. That’s down about 24 percent from the past two seasons.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) February 2, 2024
The injury rate was not higher in Week 18 games, Thursday night games or international games, according to the NFL’s annual injury data.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) February 2, 2024
NFL will also focus on writing a rule that will ban the hip drop tackle. 20-25 percent more likely to cause injury with hip drop tackles than a typical tackle.

Good news from the Capitol – sources tell me RFK Stadium bill is moving through House and “90 percent” chance it passes. Could reach Senate by March and “70 percent” chance it gets all the way done.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) February 2, 2024
Passing the bill doesn’t guarantee a stadium. But it would let the city compete w MD and VA to build one.

Rest In Peace to Carl Weathers and God Bless his loved ones.
