Commanders' Camp: A Fresh Start and Rising Expectations

As the Washington Commanders' training camp progresses, the team's new energy and focus are becoming evident. Wide receiver Jahan Dotson and quarterback Jacoby Brissett have both been making their mark in the early days of camp.

Dotson, in his second year with the team, is relishing the process and the opportunity to work with QB Sam Howell. He praised Howell's hard work and commitment to success, noting the effort the entire team is putting in to make Howell's job easier. Dotson also highlighted the team's trip to Florida in the offseason, which he believes has helped build chemistry and familiarity among the players.

Brissett, on the other hand, has been embracing the team's rebranding and the fresh start it represents. He spoke highly of the energy brought by the fans and the new ownership, and he's looking forward to putting his stamp on the team's identity. Brissett also acknowledged the growth of Sam Howell since the OTAs and the competitive yet supportive environment within the quarterback room.

However, the Commanders' camp is not without its challenges. The team is still in the process of familiarizing themselves with Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy's new offense. Both Dotson and Brissett emphasized the importance of understanding the playbook and getting the timing right.

As the training camp continues, it will be interesting to see how the team adapts to Bieniemy's offense and how the chemistry between the players develops. The Commanders have a fresh start and rising expectations, and the coming days will reveal whether they can meet these challenges head-on.
