​Tyler’ Take: New coordinators, talent give Commanders the ability to be ‘multiple’With training camp now underway, the guessing game of what Washington’s new offense and defense will look like this season is almost over.Earlier this week I wrote about weapons in this new-look David Blough offense and gave some scenarios as to how those weapons may be deployed. We discussed quite a bit in the comments section, and you saw me use the word “multiple” many times.I want to talk a bit more on this, and how being “multiple” on both sides of the ball will help breed success for both new coordinators.During Tuesday evening’s training camp opening presser, general manager Adam Peters spoke a bit about Washington’s new offense and defense.New offense will be more “multiple”. Many different ways to attack a defense.Quarterback friendlyDefense has “multiple” ways to attack youAdam Peters referred to David Blough’s #Commanders offense as “multiple” and “more QB-friendly”Defense has “multiple ways to attack you… we have answers… couldn’t be happier”#RaiseHail— Full Command (@FullCommandShow) July 28, 2026Being “multiple” on both sides of the football is a theme that has come up now on, well, MULTIPLE occasions.So, what exactly does it mean to be “multiple?”Being “multiple” on offenseBeing “multiple” on offense is about different ways to attack a defense using:Same formations, but different plays out of those formationsSame play, out of different formationsMoving guys around to create favorable mismatchesHaving versatility on offense, so defenses can’t key in on anythingBeing unpredictableOver last two years, Washington was too predictable under then-offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. Opposing defensive players would often say they knew exactly what was coming based on formations, pre-snap calls and personnel.One example of this includes former Commander Zach Ertz in the tight end role. You knew what you were getting with Ertz. He would work the short to intermediate area of the field in a “post-up” fashion. It was infrequent that you get a designed route where he was given the opportunity to run after the catch, such as a shallow crosser or over route.The same could be said with receiver Terry McLaurin. Kingsbury often lined him up on the outside left and didn’t put him in motion much. This allowed defenses to key on him and often have a “bracket” defender shaded to his side.This Davis Blough offense should be much different. In my offensive weapons article, I gave some examples of how Blough could attack opposing defenses out of certain personnel groupings. In my opinion, this ability to be so “multiple” on offense really flows around the players we have and the versatility they possess.I talked a lot about the tight end room — more specifically, Chig Okonkwu and Ben Sinnott — and how defenses couldn’t key on these guys doing any one specific thing in the sets. This is a good example o
