"Quinn took a supreme leap of faith by making David Blough their offensive coordinator. He's got no play-calling experience and was only a position coach for a few weeks. However, the Commanders believe he can provide the modern-day concepts needed to help take quarterback Jayden Daniels' game to new heights. New defensive coordinator Daronte Jones fits into a similar mold. He's also a first-time play-caller. But unlike Blough, his coaching credentials are vast and revered in equal measure."
"Most fans and experts expect the Commanders' defense to be more aggressive and explosive with Jones leading the charge. But for this system to work, a significant overhaul of the roster is required through free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Adam Peters doesn't have much high-end capital in the draft, so maneuvering could be in his plans in pursuit of bolstering the assets at his disposal. Either way, the Commanders have to get younger and more explosive. Anything less is organizational malpractice."
Dan Quinn hired David Blough as offensive coordinator despite Blough's lack of play‑calling experience and brief position‑coach tenure. The organization expects Blough to install modern concepts to elevate quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daronte Jones became defensive coordinator and, while a first‑time play‑caller, brings widely respected coaching credentials. The defense is expected to be more aggressive and explosive under Jones, but executing that vision requires a significant roster overhaul via free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Adam Peters lacks substantial high‑end draft capital, so trades and maneuvering may be necessary. A mock draft scenario includes selecting linebacker Sonny Styles at No. 15.
