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.

    • I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.
    • I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
