Washington Commanders ‘Have An Elite Coaching Staff’, ‘Everyone Is Happy to be Here’
ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Commanders offensive tackle Andrew Wylie arrived to the team just after assistant head coach/offensvie coordinator Eric Bieniemy did last season, and both came from a Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs team.
That familiarity and success was exiciting and a lot of people tied the potential success of the Commanders offense to the relationship and Wylie’s ability to help his teammates get up to speed on Bieniemy’s coaching style quicker.

It didn’t quite work out that way, but when Washington revamped the coaching staff, they kept the veteran tackle. A sign that not only is he capable of holding down the right side of the offensive line, but a player who can help usher in another new coach experience, but this time with a little more success.
“We have an elite coaching staff. That’s what it’s been,” Wylie said when asked how the new experience has been this offseason and OTA period. “It’s been great energy in the building. Points of emphasis, what (head coach Dan Quinn) wants are reiterated everyday and there’s a lot of energy on this staff. So great energy in the building and everyone’s happy to be here.”
Happy workers are more effective workers and the argument can be made that happy players construct more successful rosters. That doesn’t mean they need to be coddled and told they’re great all the time, but the way a player is critiqued is just as important as the issue trying to be fixed.
The fact that this staff is teaching – and they’re doing a lot of it – with positive energy has all observers anticipating a more effective result this time around.
“I’ve been a part of big overhauls before,” Wylie said. “It’s similar on the opposite side of the spectrum after you win the big one, there’s always a lot of overturn in the locker room on those teams as well. Been a part of it before and I will say we got some great talented, high-energy, big leadership guys in the locker room and they’re making a difference already.”

A US Air Force helicopter made a precautionary landing in northwest Washington, DC late Monday, local media reported.
The incident occurred at approximately 9.25 p.m. (0125GMT Tuesday) when a UH-1N Huey helicopter assigned to the 1st Helicopter Squadron at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland landed along Foxhall Road near Whitehaven Parkway NW, close to the Georgetown Reservoir.
All four crew members who were on board are safe, according to media reports.
Maintenance personnel and law enforcement officials remained at the scene into the early hours of Tuesday as authorities assessed the aircraft and investigated the circumstances surrounding the landing.
See what a ‘super’ El Niño could bring
USA TODAY Network reporter Brandi D. Addison breaks down what a strong El Niño could mean for weather patterns across the country.
It may be the middle of July, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac is already looking ahead to the fall with cooler temperatures ahead.
The Almanac, which has been one of the most trusted weather prediction sources for more than two centuries, recently released its fall forecast, showing a wide range of weather throughout the United States.
But what about in the Washington DC region? Here’s what the Almanac says.
What is the fall weather forecast in the Washington DC area?
DC sits along the Almanac’s Atlantic Corridor, and that region should expect a “cool, dry” fall, according to the forecast.
“Expect cooler and wetter conditions than usual this fall,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac says. “Below average temperatures are forecast, along with an uptick in precipitation over traditional averages.”
Last year, DC received 6.53 inches of rain during September, October and November — significantly lower than the city’s 30-year average of 10.50 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
September’s average temperature was 72.2 degrees, with October at 60.3 and November at 49.9 degrees. The season had an average temperature of 60.8 degrees, slightly below the 30-year average of 61.0 degrees.
What does the Farmer’s Almanac say about winter in Washington DC?
In its long-range forecast, the Almanac forecasts above average temperatures this winter in DC with snowfall below normal.
“The coldest periods will occur in mid- to late-December and early and late January,” it says. “The snowiest periods will be in late December, early January, and late February.”
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says it is 80% accurate, but a 2017 University of Illinois study found it to be just 52% accurate.
