A consistent feature of Washington Commanders training camp this year has been a booming voice from the sideline. Eric Bieniemy, the former Kansas City Chiefs assistant who is now Washington’s offensive coordinator and assistant head coach, has a style starkly different from those of other coaches in recent years. He’s loud. He’s intense. He harps on the details, often using the same refrains and demanding do-overs of plays and huddles.
“Get them in the effing huddle!” he yelled at quarterback Sam Howell during team drills last week. “Enough with all the effing walking!”
Some players in Washington have welcomed the tough coaching.
