Whether Snyder’s pettiness will cost the team
What went wrong for Scott Turner in 2022
Philosophy versus scheme
Whether it matters if someone is a play-caller or gameplan builder

How NFL staffs build out and execute a plan collaboratively
Some of the key principles of the Chiefs offense with Bieniemy and Andy Reid — and what Bieniemy can transplant to Washington
How to separate out the design of the offense from the game-breaking players — and what will be transferable and not with the current Washington roster
Which iteration of the Chiefs’ offense under Bieniemy would be best suited for the Commanders roster
How Sam Howell could feature in a Bieniemy offense
What would be the ideal offense for Howell
What cosmetic work the Commanders would have to do this offseason to build out the right roster to maximize Howell
