Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals when Zach Ertz played there.
Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and tight end Zach Ertz are very familiar with each other from their lone season with one another during their tenures with the Arizona Cardinals from 2021-22.
When speaking to the media following Monday's first padded practice, Ertz communicated the differences he's seen from his former head coach from Arizona to Washington emphasizing the joy that Kingsbury has found after a few years of not knowing the direction his career was headed after being let go by the Cardinals two years ago.
That is a positive sign for Commanders fans. Knowing that Kingsbury seems to be enjoying his job and the game once again can only breed the best from the signal-caller who was once thought of as one of the best offensive minds throughout football. Getting to work with four solid quarterbacks and being able to implement his offense should only heighten the abilities of both the coach and his offensive skill players.
"Yeah, there's some similarities," Ertz said. "The running game is, I would say very different. Obviously, we have a different o-line coach , but at the same time I've been in this league for so long, the schemes don't get too drastic no matter what kind of offense you're in, in terms of kind of the plays.
