Overview
- Quinn formally introduced David Blough as offensive coordinator and Daronte Jones as defensive coordinator, positioning both first-time NFL play-callers to run their own units.
- Blough and Quinn said the 2026 offense will emphasize a balanced approach with more snaps under center, leaning on run action and play-action to unlock explosive plays for Daniels.
- Washington posted league-low under-center usage the past two seasons, a trend the staff cited in explaining the philosophical pivot after parting with Kliff Kingsbury.
- Jones said he will call plays and install a multiple, matchup-driven defense that maximizes players’ strengths, highlighting plans to deploy Frankie Luvu downhill against running backs.
- The team confirmed broader staff moves, including D.J. Williams as quarterbacks coach, Danny Etling as assistant quarterbacks coach, Eric Washington as defensive line coach/run game coordinator, Wes Welker joining the offensive staff, and William Gay elevated to cornerbacks coach with Darryl Tapp reassigned to assistant defensive line coach.
