Second-year quarterback Sam Howell has worn a microphone in practices to record his play-calls and his command of the huddle, giving him and his coaches yet another tool to gauge his progress toward becoming the Commanders’ starting quarterback.
“Once I knew we had E.B., I was kind of watching Kansas City film and kind of seeing what they were doing,” Howell said. “I feel like I was able to kind of match my full work up to what they're doing in Kansas City. I feel like I'm matching up pretty well out here.”
“I’m not going to try to be anybody else,” Howell said. “Obviously, I watch the film, and I think Patrick does a heck of a job, and he excels on extending the play and making those off-platform throws, and I think I’m capable of making plays myself. So I don’t try to go out there and be anybody else. I try to go out there and be the best version of myself.”
Howell’s play during team drills was mixed. He connected with tight end Cole Turner on a beautiful catch down the right sideline during seven-on-seven drills, but he also threw a pick; rookie safety Quan Martin deflected a pass, and linebacker Cody Barton dove for the interception.
