Chris Russell Reacts to Commanders OC David Blough on Going Under Center

Following the Washington Commanders’ press conference introducing their new offensive and defensive coordinators, attention quickly turned to comments from offensive coordinator David Blough about getting the offense under center more often. Chris Russell reacts to those remarks by pushing back on the growing narrative that playing under center is the only way to build an explosive offense. Russell breaks down why modern NFL success is driven more by creativity, personnel, and execution than alignment alone, arguing that flexibility and smart play design matter far more than simply lining up under center versus in shotgun.
