The Washington Commanders kicked off Offseason Training Activities last week in Ashburn, with all but three players attending the voluntary sessions. Defensive ends Chase Young and Montez Sweat and left tackle Charles Leno Jr. chose not to attend.
Head coach Ron Rivera spoke of the players not attending but made sure to point out that participation was voluntary, and he wasn’t concerned with either of the three players missing time.
The story of the first week on the practice field was quarterback Sam Howell and new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Howell looked good at times, showing off his arm strength and accuracy. He was intercepted on one play but didn’t chase down the defender, drawing the ire of Bieniemy. However, overall a solid week for Washington’s second-year quarterback.
While it’s tough to see how much Bieniemy will impact Washington’s as a whole until we see full 11-on-11, his coaching style has brought some much-needed energy to practice, something players on both sides of the ball noted.
As Week 2 of OTAs begins Tuesday, let’s project what Washington’s current offensive depth chart would look like if there was a game next week.
