Former Washington wide receiver Santana Moss already likes what he sees in Eric Bieniemy.
Moss was a guest on the “BMitch and Finlay” show on 106.7 The Fan radio Friday.
The former productive Washington receiver is now an employee of the Commanders’ broadcasting team. Thus, he is out at camp and has made some observations.
“If Sam Howell can go out there and not do too much, but be Sam Howell and put the ball in the right players’ hands, the sky is the limit, knowing what we have over there.”
The new addition of offensive coordinator Bieniemy is someone Moss likes thus far. Moss acknowledged, “there are players who do their homework, come to practice to work, and don’t need a coach yelling at them”.
He also acknowledged “there are some guys who are naive about what it takes to be a pro. They are good enough to be here, but they have days and weeks they are just not giving their all, and they need that coach to light a fire under them.”
“I think EB (Bieniemy) is that guy. He is going to check you at the front door and let you know ‘this is the tone I am setting. This is the level of play I expect. You come out here and give me less than that; then you best believe that you are going to hear from me.'”
Focusing on fundamentals, and overcoming differences as men.

“When you know you have a coach like EB that is over there and is going to say something to you about it, it makes you mindful enough to say, ‘Now I can’t have those plays, those lack in my game. I can’t have that stuff because I don’t want to hear his mouth. I don’t want him barking at me.'”
“You don’t want to have your name called out in the wrong way on the field. I don’t want to be looked at like that. So I will always be on my Ps and Qs. So, I love the fact that EB has that in him.”
“In fact, that is going to lift up everyone else around him and let them know that if I don’t come with my A–game or bring it today at practice, EB is going to be, ‘next man up.’ He is the type of guy to do that.”
