I spoke with Commanders new WR coach Bobby Engram yesterday about a variety of topics. Here are some of the highlights from out conversation…
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 7, 2023
As Rivera has said, Bieniemy has the offensive staff in meetings at 7 a.m. They’ve focused a lot on minor details like splits, depth of route, adjustment in the routes, protections. That falls in line with EB’s philosophy on believing attention to detail is important for success

Like Pritchard, Engram credited Bieniemy and Rivera for why he wanted to coach in WAS. EB’s success with KC is well known, but he also praised Rivera’s coaching style, personality and communication as a reach for joining the staff

Moving on to the WR room, Engram said he’s excited to work with the room. Has heard a lot of great things about each players and their work ethic. He wanted to make sure the entire position group is working hard, but with intention. “Everything I want to do will have a purpose.”
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 7, 2023
Engram also emphasized the desire to “maximize” the talent at WR. He noted that in KC, the offense was able to utilize every receiver and all the skills they had. He wants to make sure they can move players around to give them a chance to make plays and help the team win games
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 7, 2023
Engram wants to work with WRs that want the ball in their hands. That’s natural, but he also wants his players to understand that it’s all about the greater good of the team. That’s where unselfishness comes in. He wants a group of players who “are for each other” and compete
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 7, 2023
Engram has not spent much time with Terry McLaurin yet, but he can tell that McLaurin “has a desire to be the best, and he has the work ethic to match it.”
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 7, 2023
“I’ll have a plan and a vision for each and every guy. Every guy has a skill set and things that they do really well.”
Team reporter @ZachSelbyWC talked with new WR coach Bobby Engram about his plan for the group

One side topic with the Commanders’ sale that’s come up is whether franchise prices have hit a ceiling. We already saw the Angels pulled off the market.
