#Commanders S Darnell Savage through 3 games is getting better each week. “this is the one move I could see Whitt making, will it be for Reavo or Quan”? 4. 9 snaps 49 coverage grade 5. 11 snaps 54 coverage grade 6. 27 snaps 65 coverage grade 2 tackles... 1 TFL What you think? #RaiseHailshow more

I think that he’s our roamer… he covers so much field faster than the rest of them. I really want him in as the deep safety with Quan. I’m not ready to give up on Quan yet, just don’t think he should be last line of defense

I’ve been wanting Quan in the box for two years. Savage should always be the last line of defense

@OhThatsTrell Quan can’t tackle so he can’t even be in the box

@OhThatsTrell Yea — but if you put him where he’s comfortable and not thinking, it’ll work. See ball get ball

If he is to take over for one, I'd say it's Reavo just because he is naturally a backup safety, special teamer. Quan has had some glaring mistakes, but he's also made plays. He needs to clean up, not be benched.

Which spots?

Quan tackling, too often trying to make a hit rather than a tackle. I don't think Reaves has played himself out of anything, but I think we do need to see what we have in Savage. Quan having several yrs as a starter makes me give him the benefit of the doubt.

and a caveat... i think the secondary problems are largely coaching. It's the only conclusion i can make when they are making so many fundamental mistakes.

I’m keeping Quan in over Reavo. Quan can at least play his position. Reavo needs to go back to Special Teams Ace, but ultimately this defense just needs to be better as unit and play fast (which they can’t because they old smh)

The secondary is not old.

That is true, but I know what my eyes see and I see why Reavo wasn’t a starter. He’s definitely serviceable for what we have, but I can’t see us going all year with him back there.

I get it

Love Reavo, 11 games left, I just want to finish with 10/11 wins. Need everybody to get right. He not the only one having his gripes on that field each week smh

Agree

Gotta be Reavo. He’s lost out there.

Think so? Give me a couple instances

FS- Savage SS- Owens

The more you know

Yup.

Savage a little washed and was decent in Green Bay but never developed into what they thought. He fast and probably basically a better version of Quan. Reaves not great in coverage but his play rec is fair and he be throwing his body into them tackles.

Soooo he makes the defense better?

I think he's a better option, and on par with physical traits they had in percy butler and even Forrest. Quan has always been kinda overrated and out of place to me. Like a nickel corner that wasn't good at corner that got put at safety but isn't good there either.

Agree. I’ve always wanted him close to the LOS because it’s natural to him but our roster never gave him the opportunity

Putting him in for Reavo, Quan hasn’t had the best season but I think it’s things he can clean up especially tackling. Savage just might be a diamond in the rough to help this secondary.

He played well vs bears

Savage?

It should be for Reavo.

Why you say that?

There’s a reason Reavo never played on defense and that was even on our bad teams. He might stick a big hit every now and then but he’s generally lost

Maybe he can replace Quan lol but fr I need Quan to improve. Sainristil too

I’m guessing Reavo since DQ said Quan tackles well. lol

good stuff thx!

When you put the film on did reavo make a lot of mistakes?

Too much of the first clip — missed tackles. I’d rather have him going after the QB!

Honestly I rather just see him on special teams

Come on Mont 🤣🤣🤣

Quan ....easy! Reavo can move and hit. Perfect compliment to Savage

Good point man

Quan needs to sit

Decision is coming

Reavo a better tackler so I would bench Quan if I had to choose.

@OhThatsTrell I think he should be starting at FS and move Quan to SS

Much better rotating into the box as a "run and hit" guy, played the deep ball well though in your cut up. We could do with Reaves back on STs full time.

Him and Will Harris should be our starting safeties for the second half of the year

Looking at that last play something is up with this defense that causes the players to always get out of position. Passing off does not seem to be a strong suit of this defense. They can make so many plays and interceptions if they were just sound and just stayed in their areas.

Why not give Tyler Owen’s a shot with his size and speed?

Do yall peep Mikey on that fist place ain’t no way that’s right

Honestly bro take Quan ass off the field 😂

not to knit pick, but if he had positioned himself better he could’ve had a pick. i hope that’s something he looks at in film and we can see him get a pick on a similar play in the future

Dare I say our best athlete on defense? Def top 3 outside of maybe Mikey luvu or something.

I think you Take Reavo out not bc he’s bad but bc Savage is GOOD ! I think Darnell needs to be Fs and Quan SS. Also need to figure out what we’re doing with Luvu. Bc he’s just out there basically doing nothing but getting swallowed up by blocks game in game out.

Take out Reaves and put in Savage. Reaves misses too many tackles.

That was great technique versus Odunze

Savage was the one that sprinted at CW when Luvu hit him out of bounds 🤣 that boy be moving I fw him

Did he come from the packers

Likely Reavo.

That's my knew ss

Better tackling in space with speed than our very valued special teams pro bowler at SS; Quan if necessary will be replaced by Percy. We lost because the team wasn’t prepared to play in the rain ball handling & tackling

He definitely flashed the other night
