He even coaching up these reporters 😄

[@123shoshan]

This guy is terrible nothing he said was of any value or detail .

[@jameswebb321]

"I've been ready"... Love it.

[@user-ph2uv5he6m]

I'm loving MR. WHITT. HE'S I think is going to be a huge improvement 😊😊 love his words

[@bryantcarson]

Better get some physical players in here then. It's not many

[@ericbrown7721]

Man I love this dude. The most underrated hire. I’m fired up listening to him 🔥

[@jarhead4801]

Very well said. 💯 % agree.

[@hermitrob5481]

Underrated by who? Low football IQ fans? They don't count. Man is a stud

[@derrickbrown7955]

me too🔥

[@Scaryyy_Prod]

I hope we get a winning season next year we can’t have all this improvement for another losing season

[@GooBerNutZ717]

💯

[@ThatBoyCrank202]

Whitt Jr talkin my talk!!! He makes you wanna put somebody on a stretcher lol

[@555calex]

Hopefully he takes it easy on the team. We'll need players for Sundays...

[@daoldballcoach7472]

Facts Lolol

[@jamesabc372]

Like EB he is trying to set a new culture. It will take working with new young players for it to work.maybe the older players fight against the new culture?😮

[@Dsneedy]

Joe Whitt blew me away. I had never heard him speak before and he’s extremely impressive. Going to be a long wait till the season begins. I’m very excited

[@SillyGoose2024]

Meh, talk is extremely cheap.

[@aerobertson]

Yeah, I’ve bet Eric blew you away too when he spoke and tell me, how did it turned out for us?

[@ShawnCman]

These Debbie downer comments are the sounds of Dan letting us down for decades. And it’s quite faf 😂.

[@123shoshan]

This guy is terrible nothing he said was of any value or detail

[@123shoshan]

This was literal the worst interview ever he literally gave zero details of anything and nothing of value all he said was were going to hit guys violently

[@scottcooper444]

Thank goodness we brought him here. These coaches are breathing life into this franchise. Finally a run & hit defensive coach 💯

[@ecliptic13]

The last coach that had that mentality was Marty Schottentheimer

[@123shoshan]

This guy literally gave zero reason to think this will work

[@SilkCityOG]

"We're gonna build a Commanders defense!"

[@MnyMar]

Coach Joe getting them right. Say your name before asking your question 🤣💯

[@sunbethune-bey6164]

Love It❤

[@Grimmlock78]

I’m dusting off my pads from 2007 lol. Put me in coach 😂😂😂

[@jarhead4801]

Man, this coach has got me pumped. Aggressive, QB disrupting, forced fumbles & turnovers, becoming a stud, all things we have not had for years. Thank you Coach Whitt. Go get it. We are ready and waiting. Fan for life. Go Washington

[@123shoshan]

What an idiot easier said then done every team wants that wow he said we want to win and force fumbles and cause havoc wow a 5 year old can say that

[@chaught76]

I love how Coach Whitt engages with the room, his energy, his forward honesty, and how he talks to people. This man is going to make an amazing head coach someday if given the opportunity.

[@sunbethune-bey6164]

AGREED 💯👍🏿

[@hypnotic101]

I'm glad he answered the "what makes u think you're ready" question the way he did. He coached for 18 yrs. Some reporters need to do their homework.

[@journeywithluna]

Yeah bad question John I hope it’s not cause he is a man of color #just saying

[@KevinBYee]

Keim does do his homework. It’s a legitimate question, and I also love the answer he gave.

[@hypnotic101]

@@KevinBYee It's not a legitimate question. It can be interpreted in a way he wasn't suspecting which is what happened. What he should've asked is what will he bring to the team as a new Def. Cord.

[@disturbia1378]

Agreed with Kevin, Keim is well-respected and a genuine guy. Valid question and valid answer.

[@hypnotic101]

@@disturbia1378 Ok u agree. I don't.

[@user-pq3lz3re5o]

I love the fact that he understands our history and Sean Taylor is his favorite player 🔥🔥🔥

[@Sky_Blaze]

RIP 21 that death still hurts to this day.

[@everettyeargin5249]

Yes it do! I often think about the career he would've had here, if it wasn't for them cowards! HOFer for sure!

[@jacenjustice]

He said Ryan Clark said that 21 was his favorite player.

[@comacellbrown3558]

When he asked Nikki and others what’s your name that’s attention to detail that blew me away this guy sounds legit and on his way

[@archiesandq]

I was sold with the answer of why he thought he deserved the job. I could have cut it off after that!! Httr from the Bay Area!! Hail yeah!

[@GeorgesOpinion]

Incredibly impressive presser. Got me pumped!

[@russlasky6162]

One of the great mysteries of our time will be how Ron Rivera and JDR, two former LBs didn't build a solid LB group. Hopefully they address this ASAP.

[@music2sooth]

Yes, that is a head scratcher.

[@russlasky6162]

@@music2sooth thought they were a London Fletcher type leader away from being a top defense until they checked out this year

[@PayMeNoMind]

It just made 0 sense! I mean Ron had Luke and the other complementary guy (Davis, maybe) in CAR, but the second level just remained a hole year after year. He also had Norman in CAR, and we couldn't seem to draft a reliable CB. Glad it's a new day!

[@thewinefox213]

They turned out both to be pretenders... posers if you will.

[@jabarel594]

Long time since this type of attitude prevailed defensively..Big Up. I'm in .

[@lemarrobertson7312]

I like this dude

[@allenballen7]

New ownership turning this franchise around slowly but surely. LETS GO COMMANDERS!

[@joeblack2234]

Didnt know much about him but after watching this how can you not be excited about this guy and what our defense will be..

[@Reggie_Reg_]

Joe lit up when he started talking about his pops. That was pretty dope 💪🏿

[@freddiej2411]

Never heard this man talk. Needless to say, I'm glad I did now. I'm sold. I can tell things will be different this time! Let's go! 🔥🔥🔥

[@videochannel5183]

Get me a mf helmet!!!!!!!!

[@xken4x548]

this is what we’ve been needing .. a rugged fly around hard hitting defense

[@nolimitwhite1898]

This defense gonna be scary with this coaching staff. Wow Joe Witt knows ball

[@WoahThereNow]

This is the most excited I’ve been about a Coordinator for Washington in a long time.

[@Rodedatx2]

Three months later and I still get chills listening to our new DC talk 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@raymondjohnson6002]

Let’s go welcome coach

[@Shanes_Lanes]

I like this guy

[@troydeweever4091]

I love this guy. He said we will be Violently on the field.

[@jamiedove430]

I'm impressed...I'll be here all day baby!! I like this kind of party!! Lets go!!!

[@tclaxton5610]

Super impressive Coach. Coach ready to hit the field now.

[@jasminegray2872]

Joe, Welcome to DC. I'm so glad you are here in Washington. And, thank you so much for take over as JDR. Our Commanders Defense know how to win football games for our Defense.

[@Psyfi85]

Well, they’ve had success with coaches named Joe. (Gibbs, Bugel) Here’s hoping for that success.

[@everettyeargin5249]

This is indeed the truth

[@jaylonwatson8782]

He’s talking that talk let’s see how this goes 🔥

[@svea907]

Man o man I’m so pumped!

[@WhiteBoyStick]

If your not mentally and physically tough I dont want you playing on this defense, get em going coach we behind you!

[@aubrey44]

Love it… but I’m from Missouri, I need to see it

[@fordfrey2954]

Love, love, love him!!

[@user-hu2hc1zh5u]

Calm intensity. So far I’m with it

[@svMazy]

Yeah I'm sold. W coaching staff. LET'S GO!

[@johnnieheard2805]

I like what I heard from coach Witt! He sounds like a true leader of men and a great teacher. I’m very excited to see how the team develops!

[@BiomedicalDesigns]

This is guy is perfect for this team. We need a violent defense.

[@sammoe1292]

Skins fan since ‘93. Always been excited in the off-season with hope. Been so bad my whole life. Miserable organization. We have a new owner, new GM, new coach, new coaching staff. These guys seem like they may truly bring a new culture here. I hope so. A playoff win would be like winning the super bowl to me. To win a playoff game I would be okay haha would be so hype.

[@robertofigueroa465]

"THE BALL IS LIFE"

[@exit1792]

Im ready. I like this guy

[@lmkidd]

Imagine Mama Whitt walking in the kids room saying,”Your daddy said he need to talk to you when he get here!”😳😳😳

[@allisonwood8216]

I would run away. 😂

[@niththevaliant]

"Trust and believe." I like that, maybe a new saying among the fanbase.

[@travisarndt853]

I like this dude already

[@ldsams1]

I don’t think Joe Whit going to be here long, cause if the defense get to it like I think it is he’s going to be a head coach and I hope he does

[@uptowngeorgiaave900]

If he wants it. He is going to run it past DQ first for sure. Has to be the right place.

[@cedricbryant6360]

“If a coach says a guy can’t learn… then that guy probably can’t coach.” 😂😂😂 AMEN brotha

[@Str7tv]

Not gonna lie he’s actually the first coach in a long time that knows what he’s talking about and not just talking to the be heard or seen that’s the type of person to represent our city well

[@CosyMcube-bl5ub]

FROM SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦. Get him some blue crabs with old bay seasoning haha❤

[@ramonroberts6984]

I like this dude man his confidence the way he breaks things down giving you details and his knowledge it’s impressive

[@andrew4900]

Him describing what this defence will be as “arriving violently” gave me goosebumps

[@bewell4467]

Word! My favorite phrase from the presser!

[@mexterdanley]

I love this guy! Let's go, Coach!!!!👍

[@clove1471]

THIS DUDE IS EXTREMELY REAL, RAW, UPFRONT AND TALENTED. HE IS HELLA UNDERRATED

[@Kynif1]

The joy and feeling you get when starting a new job,should be bottle up and sold.

[@willvandenk8150]

The difference between this regime and Ron’s is these guys are PREPARED. They’re proactive VS reactive

[@RIPWooDidders]

We are so back man it’s crazy. NFCE is getting put on notice this year

[@harold4371]

Man I am hitting my 40’s soon so I am old enough to remember the glory days but young enough to remember how much of an embarrassment this organization has been. I am really excited to get some grown football mentors in this organization. Not getting my hopes up yet because of the constant let downs throughout the years but I definitely feel we are up the right road. Can’t wait for next season to start. #HTTR

[@verifiedbobcallahan7972]

HTTR bro let’s go

[@jihadharris6986]

same here 🤞🏽

[@dfields7947]

I hope we have success with this guy because I can see him being somebody's Head Coach real soon!!!!

[@hooksethijinx4769]

Do I want to run through a wall now or wait for the season?! I'm jacked

[@larondajemison6717]

Let's go Joe!!! Proud of you and welcome to DC!

[@BigMoneySonny]

LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[@marksitch7469]

Coach Joe nailed this presser! So intelligent; this is a great hire and Im so inspired that we will finally move forward and upward!

[@TechNeil]

When he said his favorite player is Sean Taylor! Rip. I got the chills ❤

[@seandavey6049]

DC Joe Whitt "The Way That We Live Is Not For Everybody! Ok. It's Not! Alright. 'CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO RUN & PUT OUR BODIES ON PEOPLE! IN A VIOLENT MANNER! Alright! And So, We're Going To Get That Play Style Right First!..." Uh-oh. UH-OH! Is this the man that will finally bring back those stinging D's of the Joe Gibbs era?!? He certainly sounds like it. I've just heard him speak for the first time and I'm ready to follow him to the gates of hell. C'mon coach Witt. You lead and I'll follow. It's 'Bout Time We Start Laying The Smack-Down On This League And Remind Them Who We Are! HTTR! HTTC!

[@stilessimmons1651]

Jamin Davis is gonna fit well in his defense

[@Commanders_fan_]

I feel like we can use him like Dallas used parsons

[@manncarter4053]

Sorry but he is not a Unicorn like Parson...Parson is one of a kind...​@@Commanders_fan_

[@FireVols]

Love his confidence. That can be infectious.

[@redskinnation5279]

Lets go baby i think i speak for everybody when i say this is way overdue💯

[@ciresolstice]

I like this guy! I smell what you're cooking coach Whitt! I'm pumped.

[@SwivelHippie]

This guy gets it... make offenses fear you. I'd be afraid to ask this guy a tough question lol... Lets Feed Forbes some steak and shrimp, Get Ridgeway in the games early, Sign Queen or White for MLB, Fant or Henry at TE and Hunter or Burns for Edge and Draft QB, WR, OT, LB and CB!

[@bernardparker7749]

Lets go Joe!!!

[@popzredskins890]

All of this talent. Please show all of this in Wins!!!!!!

[@CongoSupa]

It's on Skin Fans. I like the direction it sends we're headed in. I don't get caught up in what people say out of their mouths. However this man said "We're going to build a Commanders Defense". That s*** made me really Proud HTTC!!!! I FEEL LIKE FIGHTING😅

[@KevinBYee]

Love this guy already

[@carpathus]

Man! Joe is the real deal. Can't wait to see his guys flying around making plays. HTTC!

[@calnutt]

This guy could bring pride to us in the name Commanders.

[@jeffreythomas7318]

This guy is probably the best kept secret in the NFL he is head coaching material, I love every answer he is giving, I believe washington has hit the lottery with this guy and actually the entire staff, I believe we have the best staff in the NFL.

[@shuaib-dx1xz]

As a commanders fan if your not amped up about this up coming season after hearing this your in the wrong place

[@DESIGNATED_DARKHORSE]

Loving his energy

[@andrew4900]

Love this guy. You can tell he’s an alpha along with DQ

[@peerdesilva2156]

Joe Whitt Jr. is very inspirational and have high hopes for an improvement on defense , lets go !!

[@Themikelawry]

Oh he’s legit!!

[@aerobertson]

The way we live is not for everybody man what a powerful statement

[@frankmonteforte5210]

I envy the way he talked about his father. I’m getting pumped up already about these moves!

[@jordangochnour7356]

Dude has me fired up on my couch

[@music2sooth]

I get the feeling this guy is far more prepared for this than EB was for his position. Plus, he'll have lots of support from other coaches if needed.

[@lawrence.peoples]

Nah, EB was ready. To be honest, our line found continuity and chemistry late in the season. I think Sam ended up hitting that wall, and just kinda crumbled. We didn’t run the ball a lot; but I think the thought behind that, was when the line was struggling, and not getting any push, and our runs got nothing; EB just went pass-heavy, given the options we have on the outside and the slots/TEs. I think once Rivera benched Sam that first time, it was a wrap on his season; but Jacoby got hurt. I like Sam; but at least we found out that he can be a great backup; he'll win you some games. But he is what he is, and EB had to find out, either way.

[@tonygonzalez6908]

All I can say is new season, new GM, new front office, new support staff, new HD, OC, DC, new schemes, and new attitudes. The team, players, and coaches have a positive 24:08 outlook and are excited to get going. Same fan expectations, some are excited and optimistic, and some are skeptical. We need to be patient and not be too high or too negative. We need to let it play out. We will know a heck of a lot more after the 4th regular season game.

[@johngraves8641]

This guy's great he talks and walking it. He got me fired up.

[@2jmajjic]

All in on Quinn

[@user-hh8tw6fk4p]

Very impressive interview. He speaks very well and intelligently!

[@robertjackson1382]

You're absolutely RIGHT!concerning his response to his "being ready" for this opport- unity. Big Dandy vs Howard. This man has been ready for US. "LET'S GO"!

[@obijuankenobi5284]

I can’t wait till the draft and then preseason..Hail !

[@kj232009]

Love this guy. I see why Quinn snagged him immediately

[@DJ_ladykiller]

This man is gonna bring back "The Hogs". He might actually find our Dexter Manly 24 edition
