00:00The Von Miller deal, you cannot explain it to me at all because he was so bad in Buffalo.

00:06He was so shot in Buffalo.

00:08It's not even funny.

00:09Like Carver High said, he's playing on one leg.

00:13Yeah.

00:14All right.

00:14Here's the situation with Von Miller.

00:16So Washington, basically, they're looking for a four-man rotation with their edge rush group, right?

00:24If you look at their situation, Dorrance Armstrong is a nice player.

00:27Kimmer from Dallas, Dan Quinn knew him from their days with the Cowboys, right?

00:31Cleveland Ferrell has kind of revived his career, but he's a backup.

00:34They brought up Dietrich Weiss from the Patriots, who's an underrated pass rusher.

00:38But they know in the National Football League, you can't have enough pass rushers.

00:42Now, Von Miller did have six sacks last season.

00:44You probably wouldn't know it.

00:45He's what we call a DPR.

00:46What does that mean?

00:47Designated pass rusher.

00:48He's not going to play a lot at 36 years old.

00:51He's not been the same since the ACL injury from a couple years ago.

00:54They think in their tape study that he's got something left.

00:57They want to make a run here.

00:58They want to have depth.

00:59They want to have a rotation.

01:01I understand what they're doing here.

01:02Miller, by the way, only played a third of the snaps last season for the Bills.

01:06We know that Von Miller is at the end of his career, won the Super Bowl with Denver many, many years ago.

01:11His career's over.

01:12He's near the end here.

01:13We get that.

01:14But they wanted to have a rotation here.

01:15I totally get that part of it.

01:17But you have to question, what does he really have at this point?

01:20They think the tape was good enough that he could contribute.

01:23I get that.

01:24But he's going to be in a limited role.

01:26I would argue, honestly, Brandon Graham, who just retired, was a better football player.

01:30I'm not arguing it.

01:30Before Graham tore the triceps last season, it was phenomenal.

01:35I mean, it was incredible.

01:36And he retoured again.

01:37And he played with it torn in the Super Bowl.

01:41And he's better than Von Miller.

01:42He's with one arm.

01:43He was better.

01:44He was better.

01:45Absolutely, he was better.

01:46But Von Miller, the commanders, and they want to make a run.

01:49There's no question about it.

01:50They want to have depth in their rotation.

01:52What happened with that eagle that died?

01:55That was stunning this week.

01:56Yeah, it's sad.

01:58Brian Brayman, who was a special teams ace, who was part of the Super Bowl run in 17,

02:03one of the best special teams players in the league during his day.

02:05He passed away to cancer.

02:08Yeah, it's very sad, man, at 38 years old.

02:11He was a self-made player, an undirected free agent, played a number of colleges.

02:15And he had a really nice career in terms of special teams.

02:18But, again, he did pass away, as you said, this week at the age of 38.

02:22But, man, at least he was able to win a Super Bowl in 2017.

02:26And, obviously, our thoughts and everything else is with his family.

02:30But, man, high-energy guy.

02:32You talk about playing with your hair on fire.

02:33Had the long hair.

02:34If you followed his career at all.

02:36But very instrumental in their special teams, man.

02:38He was one of the highest-paid special teams players of his day.

02:40He was one of the highest-paid special teams, man.

02:41He was one of the highest-paid special teams, man.
