Led by Sam Howell and Eric Bieniemy, Commanders have a new vibe on offense

Posted May 25, 2023
Quarterback Sam Howell tried to zip a throw through a tight window, but safety Percy Butler picked it off. "You threw it! You go get it!" Bieniemy yelled, chiding Howell for not chasing Butler. Howell, who took all the first-team reps, responded. On one play, he didn’t like how the team got into formation and called players back into a huddle to do it again. (Washington Post)
