Head coach Dan Quinn took a massive risk by promoting David Blough to replace Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator. This is all part of his master plan to take quarterback Jayden Daniels' game to even greater heights.
There was no longer alignment between Quinn and Kingsbury about how best to take the offense forward. The head man wanted more pro-style concepts, and the play-caller thought the system in place would suffice. That made his departure inevitable, and the Commanders are banking on Blough to make the adjustments required for Daniels and his playmakers to flourish.
