Overview
- The Commanders promoted David Blough to offensive play-caller after a 5-12 season and began installing his system at mandatory minicamp on Thursday.
- Blough says the scheme is an evolution rather than a reinvention and that he wants to open Daniels’ eyes to more under-center and play-action looks rather than create entirely new concepts.
- Jayden Daniels said he has "a long way to go" and described the minicamp work as building a foundation for the new offense.
- Washington is still thin at wide receiver and has been linked in reports to possible additions such as Brandon Aiyuk as the team evaluates whether outside help is needed to lift the passing game.
- The offseason also included defensive reinforcements and role-player offensive signings, so the next signs to watch are training camp installations, any receiver moves, and whether the new under-center work improves Daniels’ protection and playmaking.
