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.
