Eric Bieniemy is only focused on Washington
Just arrived and some are already imagining it elsewhere. During Eric Bieniemy’s introductory conference in Washington, the new offensive coordinator was asked about his desire to become the head coach of a franchise.
“Right now, I’m the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. Becoming a head coach, if it has to happen, it will happen on its own. We have had great success. We’ve been to the last five AFC Conference Finals, three of the last four Super Bowls, we’ve won two. Becoming a head coach, if that doesn’t happen, it’s not something that’s going to stop me from moving forward because the only thing I have to focus on is the present moment. »
Far from Kansas City, the former offensive coordinator of the Chiefs is well aware that he must first gain the confidence of his new players if he wants to perform.
“Today, I have to be the best person I can be, the best coach I can be, and first of all, I have to teach the guys here to trust me, to know me, but also to make them understand what means the term responsibility. I have to answer to these men. All this talk about becoming a head coach, we can talk about it next year. There, now, I have to concentrate on the work that was given to me. »
Far from the shadow that Andy Reid could generate, Bieniemy has the opportunity to show his skills in Washington in a franchise not known for his offense in recent years. If he succeeds, then it would be unimaginable that no franchise would give him a chance in 2024.
Discussions are just beginning between DeAndre Hopkins and the Cardinals
Upon his appointment, the new Cardinals general manager, Monti Ossenfort, explained that he would assess the status of DeAndre Hopkins. Today, in an interview with Arizona Sports 98.7Ossenfort explained that discussions with the star receiver of the franchise had barely begun.
“I had a very good exchange with D-Hop two weeks ago. It’s great, I was able to explain to him what my philosophy was. It was a very good discussion. D-Hop has been a very big player in this league for years. I look forward to working with him. I think for all roster discussions like this, we’re in the early stages right now.
From a distance I’ve had to face him, not me personally, but I’ve been on teams that have played him, and I know the problems and the stress he puts on opposing defences. Whether it’s D-Hop’s situation or whoever it is, we’re in the evaluation period, but I’m very happy that D-Hop is on our team right now.
Jeff Bezos, future candidate for the takeover of Commanders?
Currently, the franchise of Washington is not officially for sale. However, it is only an open secret, Dan Snyder and his wife is looking to get rid of part (or all) of the business. For this, the couple of owners announced that they had called on the service of a bank to help them with the transaction.
From that moment, investors began to take an interest in the project. Jeff Bezosthe founder ofAmazon would be the last of them. According to Washington Postthe multi-billionaire would also have engaged the services of a company specializing in investments of this nature.
For now, only Josh Harris, owner of the Philadelphia 76ers in particular, has made an offer.
Patrick Mahomes supports his former coach
Criticized sharply by LeSean McCoy, Eric Bieniemy can count on the support of his former quarterback. Through Twitter, Patrick Mahomes (QB, Chiefs) defended Washington’s new offensive coordinator.
“The question shouldn’t even arise about which great man/trainer Coach Bieniemy is. His leadership had a direct impact on the man/player I am today. He spent 10 years learning behind one of the greatest coaches of all time… And I can’t wait to see him continue to prove those who doubt him wrong. »
Coachs, coachs, coachs…
– It is made for Bubba Ventrone To Cleveland. THE Browns have finally found their special teams coordinator. The one who held the same position at the Colts therefore arrives in the staff of Kevin Stefanski and becomes by the same assistant head coach.
– Sam Siefkes is named coach of the linebackers by the Cardinals according to Tom Pelissero for NFL Media. He spent the last two years with the Vikings as an assistant linebacker coach.
– The Broncos named Keary Colbert as receivers coach. This is his first coaching experience in the NFL, when he took care of the Florida Gators’ receivers last year.
– According to Mike Kliss for ALMOST, Joe Lombardi should join Sean Payton To Denver. If his position is not yet known, Lombardi could be the next offensive coordinator of the Broncos, the same role he has played with the Chargers for the past two years. In the meantime, the Colorado franchise has found its defensive coordinator and filled (or confirmed) its staff on this side of the field. So Marcus Dixon (defensive line) et Christian Parker (defensive back) will be kept, while Greg Manusky (linebacker) will be recruited.
Transactions
– This is a decision that suits everyone: according to NFL Network, the Rams decided to cut Bobby Wagner. Signed at a gold price last season (5 years and 50 million), the linebacker is finally no longer in the ideal situation in California. Indeed, Los Angeles must free up payroll to rebuild, while the 32-year-old is looking to win a new ring quickly. The decision was therefore taken by mutual agreement and the former Seahawk finds himself free to sign where he wishes.
Cups: Bobby Wagner (LB, Rams)
(Re)signatures : Malike Turner (WR, Colts)ParkerHesse (TE, Falcons)Mac McCain (CB, Lions)
And bref
– Accustomed to maneuvers of all kinds to avoid sanctions, the Saints have restructured the contracts of Ryan Ramczyk (RT) et Will Lutz (K). This saves New Orleans $10.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
– Aaron Rodgers came out of his spiritual retreat after four days in the dark. Everyone is now hanging on to their decision as to whether they will continue in the NFL (and where).
