00:00Washington SAC leader last year was a fellow by the name of Dante Fowler.
00:05He was really good at getting to the quarterback and deserves credit for that.
00:09Yeah, for sure.
00:12There's some questions about how well he played against the run.
00:18You know what I'll say about that, though, a little bit?
00:20If he played that well in the pass rush situation without the extra help,
00:25add a little bit more help to it, he might be able to get you more sacks.
00:29But he's going to have to be better in the run.
00:32Last night, Dante Fowler tweeted out the disrespect.
00:35I can't take it anymore.
00:38It's entirely possible he ordered a pizza and it came late.
00:43Yeah, it could be.
00:44Or he went to the gas station and it was close.
00:49Yeah, but other players started putting responses with exclamation points.
00:55It is entirely possible Dante Fowler was not talking about anything related to
01:01Washington about coming back or what his free agent market looked like.
01:08But it seems unlikely, right?
01:12Yeah.
01:12And I think what can always happen in football, look at the Miles Garrett Cleveland situation.
01:20No matter what you think is going on, fences can always be mended with money.
01:27And if there just isn't a pass rusher available, maybe Fowler's back.
01:35I think he's probably expecting some level of cash that has not presented itself yet.
01:43But, B, when you start looking at the edge rushers in free agency, if Mack's gone,
01:48Landry's gone, what's your interest level in Von Miller?
01:57Hey, man.
01:58He's dealt with a lot of injuries the last couple of seasons.
02:00Yeah, he's dealt with a lot of injuries.
02:01And the thing about it, when he's on the field, he is effective.
02:05But it has to be an incentive-laden deal.
02:10I don't know how much you want to just guarantee or put out there.
02:13But if he dies in his position now, they're more than likely going to have to play
02:19onto something that's going to be less than what they expect.
02:21But if they play as good as they're capable of, they get paid.
02:24I have kind of a skewed this conversation, but
02:27we're getting to a point where it's realistic.
02:29What about Chase Young?
02:32Hey, listen, as I stated earlier, and I said it was pretty good against the run.
02:38It's good against the run, but also having different people here leading the thing.
02:43Can they get him to play better than what we had, where it was always,
02:49let's go to the newspaper and blast him instead of forcing him or making him play better?
02:54You know, if you coach up a guy and you see that he's working,
02:58like a lot of Larry Johnson did when he was in college.
03:01If you do that, instead of just knocking a person in the paper all the time,
03:06maybe you get more performance or production out of it.
