Dan Quinn can bolster the pass rush for the Washington Commanders by replacing Montez Sweat and Chase Young with Josh Allen of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He’s a “premier edge-rushing talent” in 2024 NFL free agency, who’s also an ideal fit for Quinn’s schemes.
As NFL.com’s Nick Shook noted, “Fresh off a 17.5-sack campaign, the time is now for Allen to get paid handsomely, and the Commanders have the cap space and a big need at edge rusher.”
What makes player and team the perfect match is how “Allen seems like just the guy for new coach Dan Quinn to utilize as a pass-rushing demon.”
That’s a reasonable expectation since Quinn turned roving edge-rusher Micah Parsons into an All-Pro for the Dallas Cowboys. It’s why Shook isn’t the only one who believes Allen belongs in Washington.
There’s also Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine, who sees Allen as the “building block for the pass rush.” The Commanders need one of those after dealing defensive ends Sweat and Young at the trade deadline last season.
Add Allen alongside defensive tackles Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne, “and the Commanders would suddenly have one of the best defensive lines in the league. That’s something Dan Quinn can work with.”
As an outside linebacker who can also play defensive end and rush the passer from both sides of the line, Allen is a good scheme fit for the Commanders. Quinn and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. will install the same system they ran in Dallas.
Their formula for success was a marauding pass rush in front of man coverage. Versatile defensive linemen were the key figures in the playbook, so Quinn will value what Allen brings to the field
