Rams Say Commanders Would ‘Love' Coach Thomas Brown in Washington
The Washington Commanders have interviewed several candidates for their open offensive coordinator job, a list that includes Los Angeles Rams assistant head coach/tight ends coach Thomas Brown.
One of the current Rams running backs, Malcolm Brown, recently spoke to WUSA9's Darren Haynes, and had high praise for coach Brown.
"Besides him being top-notch when it comes to the game, he's a solid guy in general," Malcolm said. "I know players will love him and wanna play for him! Genuine and no BS about him ... TB is legit (for real)! Smart as hell and can simplify the game and that's what it's about!"
Coach Brown has a “talent for simplifying the game”? That could come in handy, especially give the idea that Washington is pitching second-year quarterback Sam Howell as the projected starter in 2023.
This would mean Brown's offense would need effectively employ a full arsenal of weapons, but also be simple enough to teach to a quarterback with just one career start under his belt. .. And do it with no working knowledge of each other prior to Brown's hiring.
That's no small feat.
But if Brown is truly capable of teaching his offense to Howell, and keeping it simple yet effective, then perhaps this duo would be able to break some of those tendencies we've seen in league years past.
Of course, that's if the Commanders bring Brown onto the staff.
Thus far, he's certainly developed a backing in the fan base but is still competing with other more experienced coaches like Washington quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese and Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks coach Charles London.
