The Washington Commanders have appointed David Blough as their new offensive play caller ahead of the 2026 season. Blough, previously an assistant quarterbacks coach, aims to revitalize the Commanders' offense and maximize Jayden Daniels' performance. Daniels struggled during an injury-plagued 2025 season, but reports from OTAs indicate he appears comfortable with the new offensive adjustments. The team expects to incorporate a blend of an Air Raid/West Coast scheme with more varied routes for receivers. The run game should remain largely unchanged under RB coach Anthony Lynn.
