There are serious concerns about whether the Washington Commanders have enough to generate consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks. If this scenario comes to fruition, general manager Adam Peters should treat the defensive edge as his biggest priority above all else next spring. The Commanders are quietly confident that they have enough experience to get the job done. Von Miller's presence brings legitimacy, but there is just no telling how much he's got left in the tank.

Bonitto had a sack, a near-sack, and a heated pursuit that forced the quarterback to throw the ball away, showcasing his impact on the game.

"Let me rush, that's what I do," Miller said Thursday. "I can still roll out of bed at 36 years old with my shoes on and rush the passer."

Miller finished with a 16.1% pressure rate last season, which ranked as 10th best in the league among players with 175+ pass rush snaps. Quinn isn't going to put Miller on the field on first and ten, or likely running situations, he's going to deploy Miller on third and forth downs, and let him use that trademark spin move to get the ball back to Washington.
