The Snyder Lynch Mob Sees Bieniemy as a Threat

You may have heard it.

Evidence submitted by the instant poo-pooers is that Eric Bieniemy is too hard on the players, gets into barfights, tussles with the fuzz, and botches interviews. They note the dark days of Colorado, player revolts, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas scenarios. Young E.B. was a thug so you know old E.B. is even worse. That type ot thing.

I'm glad people feel they are spotless enough morally to judge others that way. I'm not that. Never met a morally perfect person. Perhaps you have. I haven't.

Seems like this theme has more to do with riding Dan Snyder out of town than evaluating Eric Bieniemy. That is the fervent desire of D.C. Media. They'll do anything to get Snyder's head on a pike.

I think they're afraid. E.B. coming to Washington threatens their scorched earth policy. E.B. wins. Snyder wins, they're thinking. Snyder wins, Snyder stays. Satan returns.

Then there is the idea that Eric Bieniemy had nothing to do with the success of the Kansas City Offense. 

So what was he doing? Waterboy duties? Well, he only called a few plays. Even if he didn't do much playcalling, can I get a witness? What did Eric Bieniemy see in his run to two Super Bowl titles? Did he hallucinate Andy Reid's chalkboards? Did he twiddle his thumbs during play design meetings?

You're saying one of the hardest workers in this league sat on his ass the whole time he was in Kansas City? The implication was we should get real. Only the white guys were capable of calling plays. He couldn't have had anything to do with it.

That creepy crawls all over the skin with racism. But the fact is, the tape doesn't lie. Bieniemy can be seen on the sidelines of every Chiefs game. Their season is his resume. When you have a championship season, everything about it gets in your blood. It is in your muscle memory. It is a neural network in your brain.

Bieniemy is now wired with championship bloodlines. Championship behaviors. Championship drives. Championship plays.

You hire a mountain guide to show you the way to the mountain top. Preferably he's been to the mountain top himself. He knows where the bear caves are. He knows the habits of the mountain lions. 

He's bringing that knowledge taught to him by the masters to your tent. He's your best shot at NOT freezing your bones to the mountain side. 

Yes but . . . Bieniemy is a passing guy. I thought Ron Rivera was a run-first guy. What's up with that? 

Bieniemy was running backs coach a while back. The Chiefs did pretty well. In case you missed it, THEY RAN THE BALL IN THE SUPER BOWL. Precisely what they should have done. Bieniemy is not going to suddenly become a moron in the running game.

That said, the Chiefs Passing Game is the way of the League right now. Bieniemy has seen it and worked with it. If even a tenth of it gets to Washington the Commanders will challenge for the playoffs, and yes, the Super Bowl. 

I suspect much more than a tenth will be installed. 

With E.B. always go back to the tape. Go back to the stats. Go back to the rings. The rest, I'm afraid, is Dan Snyder's lynch mob and people with a little racist puss on the brain trying to wreck things.
