Detroit LIons TOTAL FAILURE To hire Dave Blough?
This sets the Offense up in a timely manner as they concoct strategy for 2026. The Commanders are well ahead of the Offseason Timetable and have plenty space to do a lengthy postmortem on 2025 and R&D on coaching, players, and playbooks.
It is both a conservative and a risky move. But apparently with solutions to the running game irony and continuity in the Jayden Daniels Offense.
The Running Game is ironic in Washington because it posts flashy numbers with lousy timing. It is Blough's feel for the running game that many RTDB Commanders Fans are going to watch.
Blough has worked with Ben Johnson in Detroit. The Lions were the envy of the league in the running game. He worked with Kliff Kingsbury as player and coach. He has two years on his bucket list with Jayden.
He is a risk because he has never called plays. And there is no guarantee he has a better feel than Kingsbury for running the ball. But his work with Johnson suggests he just might.
He is not a mystery to the Quinn Contingent. The due diligence is built in. So it is a conservative move in that the Commanders know what they are getting in Blough.
The Offense is now in 2026 Mode.
