com Commanders WR Terry McLaurin loves idea of getting 10 targets a game in David Blough’s offense Blough, an undrafted quarterback out of Purdue, spent five NFL seasons as a player (four in Detroit, one in Arizona), going 0-7 in seven career starts. After spending 2023 on the Lions practice squad, he was hired by the Commanders as an assistant quarterbacks coach, a role he held for the past two years under Kliff Kingsbury before his massive promotion to OC. Blough’s stock has rocketed skyward.

For a man to go from an assistant position coach to running the entire operation in three years is quite the leap. It underscores the league’s belief in Blough’s ability — he was likely being poached if Washington didn’t promote him to the big chair. The 30-year-old has said all the right things since taking over.

He’s discussed getting more variety in the offense, moving under center with more regularity to trigger the play-action game, moving his wideouts around the formation, etc. Everything has been shaded positively. But for an OC with zero play-calling experience who works under a defensive-minded head coach, there are massive unknowns and questions heading into the season.
