The Kliff Kingsbury Bundle

Bundle the 2024 and 2025 Commanders books:

Kliff Kingsbury, Dan Quinn, and the Washington Commanders built a fun offense for rookie Jayden Daniels to thrive in.

Their success starts with the run game. Daniels brings a unique skillset that allows the coaching staff to use him as a designed runner. The strategic usage of Daniels as well as the concept diversity, tweaks within base concepts, and auxiliary/complementary schemes made them one of the more fun run game I have studied in recent memory.

The Commanders have a lot of ways to create numbers and leverage in the run game. This is a separator for their offense. Using split backs, arcs, double arcs, bluffs, split flow, and wrappers, the skill players assisted in the slowing down of second level defenders. They do a great job of building proper RPO’s around the specific run scheme too.

Play action is a great tool for a young quarterback, and Jayden Daniels feasted on some creative variations of core concepts. The coaching staff did a great job of adjusting the presentation each week without burdening Daniels too much to create big plays.

The Commanders featured a few core drop back concepts and adapted them each week. This helped Daniels get comfortable with an NFL pass game in his rookie season, while still allowing the play caller to attack where he needs to. A marriage that worked well in 2024.

2025: The Commanders, under offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, expanded much of what they did in 2024.
.
The run game featured a lot of creativity. The coaching staff went into each week trying to find a handful of ways to help create better leverage and numbers for their blocking schemes.

Kingsbury expanded the pass game. With Jayden Daniels in year 2, the offense was able to try some new things. Different Keeper designs as well as Deep Over concept variations stood out. Kingsbury also expanded his 7-step play action menu significantly to help better push the ball downfield.

The Commanders designed a lot of creative screens. All of my favorites are covered in the book.
