I see what they are trying to do. Evero’s scheme runs off of two different edge rushers. We used to call this an Anchor (Run Stopper) and a Buck (Speed Rusher). Johnson and YGM are likely there to set the edge and control the LOS while the other side causes chaos (Burns, Barno, Haynes).
 

However, I don’t think YGM and Johnson are going to be that good at doing it, and I’m more concerned about our front 3 against the run than anything else on the team right now.

I’m probably going to be a broken record, but I really feel that Haynes is massively undervalued by the fanbase.
 

As far as I’m concerned, and considering 2022 snap counts, he’s our other starting OLB right now.

Forgot about him. I feel like we have enough to work with for now for a first year in a new system. See what you have with the young linebackers. If needed get a vet before season but give the guys we have a chance to step up

I don't think that is a good idea.  We have a new scheme and a defensive coordinator that will be open to every player on this team.  I'm not saying your not right but let's wait to see what Evero can do with our players.

I’d be all for he’s always been pretty stout in run defence of I’d try swing a trade for Chase Young 

Is Chase Young available? How has his career started so far? He seemed like he had a bright future at first? If he still has all that potential and is available for trade I would look into that immediately.

Seemed like he had a bright future? Lol, dude was the consensus best non-QB in the draft and taken right after Burrow. He was considered to be Myles Garrett level talented. Pretty sure he was also considered better than the Bosas when he came out.

He’s been a massive bust after being the DROY. He’s been hurt for two years but even when he played 12 games in those 2 years he only had 1.5 sacks and 5 QB hits. I don’t recall what his injuries are but he really dropped in year 2 while starting 9 games.

Washington already declined his 5th year options so they obviously have reservations that he’ll ever reach his potential but I don’t think they’ll trade him for peanuts because he was the #2 pick and has been hurt.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
