Analysis: In his first season as architect, it’s difficult to project how assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy will shape the Commanders’ offense. Many factors from his time with Kansas City make it hard to isolate his philosophy.
In Washington, Bieniemy, 53, is likely to install his version of the West Coast offense, which prioritizes quick, horizontal passes. The approach overlaps with — but has some distinct differences from — former coordinator Scott Turner’s Air Coryell-based scheme, which favored deep throws.
If Howell becomes the starter, one of Bieniemy’s most important assignments will be to develop him. In general, Bieniemy will probably use an array of formations, alignments and motions to help his quarterback decode the defense before the snap, but it will be particularly important to identify the ones with which Howell is most comfortable.For example, in news conferences throughout the past year, Rivera emphasized that he wants the Commanders’ offense to use a heavy dose of play-action.
Star wideout Terry McLaurin’s usage could change under Bieniemy. Last season, Turner treated Curtis Samuel as a do-it-all gadget receiver and McLaurin as more of a deep threat. Later in the season, McLaurin excelled catching slant routes and churned out yards after the catch. Bieniemy will probably use McLaurin more in the quick game to get his best player the ball earlier and more often.
