The mess that is Washington:

Former running back LeSean McCoy once played under current Washington Commanders offensive coordinator and assistant head coach Eric Bieniemy ......

"The thing that alarmed me the most was the relationship with the players," McCoy said about Bieniemy during a Wednesday appearance on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" program, per Zach Dean of Outkick. "You have to change with the times. With Bieniemy, I think he’s stuck in that old, back in the days where the coaches were cussing players out … that’s not how it’s played nowadays." 

McCoy had Bieniemy as a coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2019 NFL season and suggested that the 53-year-old needs to realize that his coaching style could cause more harm than good in a new environment that doesn't include his offense featuring Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. 

"I was part of that Kansas City Chiefs championship team, and it was terrible," McCoy recalled about Bieniemy. "One of the first things I noticed is how he talks to the players." 

A potential controversy arose for the Commanders when head coach Ron Rivera acknowledged on Tuesday some of his players struggled to adapt to Bieniemy's intensity and personality after the two-time Super Bowl champion coordinator joined Washington this offseason. A somewhat defiant Bieniemy said later in the day that he simply "is who he is" and Rivera backtracked Wednesday by noting that he "put [his] foot in [his] mouth" via the original statements. 

It's unknown exactly why Rivera shared such information roughly one month before the Commanders open the regular season with a home game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 10, but it seems he already has a built-in excuse should the club's offense produces multiple duds in Bieniemy's system this fall.

Bieniemy's former players in KC telling Washington players to buck up and take the coaching.

This. What world are we living in nowadays? Safe spaces, don't name call, trigger warnings, etc. The NBA is already soft as can be ... is the NFL going to follow suit?

I saw a comedin's bit saying how back in the 80s/90s the youth would always rag on their elders for being tame and soft. Now, in 2023, for the first time ever, elders are looking at the youth and saying the teens are the soft ones lol.

It kind of depends on how you do it.

Being an old school guy, I'm all for being tough and building winners. But even with that, there's a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Mike Ditka of all people criticized Bill Parcells for his approach. He said Parcels would break guys down until they believed they were completely incapable of playing football unless he was their coach.

How true is that? Don't know, but it doesn't sound like something I'd be in favor of.

    • If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy
    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
