The Washington Commanders: A New Era Begins

The Washington Commanders are entering a new era, with Josh Harris taking over as the new owner, replacing the beleaguered Daniel Snyder. The team has also drafted Jayden Daniels as the quarterback of the future, and Dan Quinn has been brought in as the new head coach, bringing a wealth of experience to the role.

One of Quinn’s key appointments was at offensive coordinator, where he tabbed former Arizona Cardinals and Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury to take on the role. According to ESPN’s John Keim, there is a belief that Kingsbury has grown as an offensive mind and play-caller.

“One coach who has faced Kingsbury multiple times said he likes how Kingsbury has evolved as an offensive coach in the NFL.” “It looks like he’s gotten a better feel for it,” the coach said.

Kingsbury’s Evolution as an Offensive Coach

In his early days as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, Kingsbury was criticized for not throwing enough between the hashes. However, in his final two seasons, the Cardinals ranked 13th in this area. This growth in Kingsbury’s coaching style is a promising sign for the Commanders.

Tight End Involvement

Kingsbury has also been praised for incorporating the tight end more into his offense. This is likely to continue in Washington, where the team has signed Zach Ertz, who played two seasons under Kingsbury in Arizona.

“He’s one of the best offensive minds that I’ve been around,” Ertz told Keim regarding Kingsbury.

What This Means for the Commanders

The Commanders will be hoping that Daniels thrives under Kingsbury’s guidance, and that the team can build on the progress made in recent years. With Kingsbury at the helm, the Commanders’ offense is looking more promising than ever.
