Smart move. No doubt the talent is there. But if he can't stay on the field and reach his potential it's time to move on. If he does break out, they just franchise tag him for about $2 mil more than the 5th year option. Haven't been a fan of Mayhew as a GM, but this was the right thing to do.
As a Commanders fan I'm terrified of Young. We finally sucked enough to get the 2nd OVR pick and a generational prospect and of course he's the rare "sure-fire" guy that has looked anything but. The injury is one thing, but he just can't rush the passer like he should. He's an elite presence on the field and sideline during games and his run defense is exceptionally sound; but the guy doesn't do the one thing that gets you drafted 2nd OVR nearly good enough. I hope he finally adds some new moves to his pass rushing kit and adjusts in game better. I'm scared he's gonna end up like Jadeveon Clowney. Good DE you want on your team, but not at all taken 2nd OVR.
Good point actually. Commanders play zone coverage and *need* their front 4 to win consistently on pass downs. Very reflective of their interior pass rush talents as well. No use paying a edge rusher big money that can't pressure in that kinda system.
Chase and sweat plays to high im just an arm chair coach but I can tell that they suppose to shrink their striking zone they let OL get into their chest way too easy he lacks a good bull rush and he doesn’t have good agility along with bend he needs to understand the leverage he got lucky there was no combine that year cause it would’ve shown he’s not the athlete they advertised in ou
I think it is also about his commitment and drive. To be honest, I think it is to the coaching staff's advantage to have Chase Young on a prove-it year, because they want the best out of him for their own sake. They really need a winning season this year to sell the new owner on them.
As a commanders fan I just think he takes the outside to much. Aside from that I'll be honest I wasn't impressed in 2021 as a 2nd overall pick. He is great but certainly isn't on track for some 80mil contract or something
He's not a game changer IMO and his numbers suck... even before the injury that year, which was 9 games into the season he was mediocre. I give him a solid rookie season. But I just can't look at him as this star that folks deem him as. Give us a good season or get gone.
I think Simmons get retained. Gannon's defense will play zone and they wanna give Simmons all the chance to excel in that spot. Though I don't think he gets a huge pay day.
Young was a great at establishing the edge on run plays. I would say his technique could use some tweaking, or maybe he just needs a rush plan and not just try to get around every tackle?
Edge rushers not known for numbers? If u get an edge rusher in the first round he better have some numbers. The best edge rushers get plenty of sacks. That's what's he's here for.
Or at the very least win consistently vs tackle match ups and scare the QB to put the ball in the air. In a zone coverage style scheme that is even more important because the front 4 need to win to get chances at turnovers.
The man is notoriously constipated. There have been tales and testimony from former and current teammates about him basically holding the corner stall hostage at the commanders facility. He got his real estate license last year and over half of his studying happened on that toilet. Man needs prune juice and a come back season in the worst way smh
He had a decent rookie season. He shined during the second half of the season when the schedule got soft. And did nothing in that playoff game against tampa. He had a half of a season in which he balled out.
My guess is he hadn't fully gained confidence in the knee yet at the end of the season but was pressured to at least play because he was medically cleared
i’m the first run play he’s on a diff technique than he is in the niners one. second he has the outside guy if a qb kept it or if it turned into a outside zone
Honestly, he's so good agaisnt the run, and the Commanders struggled against the run enough at times last season, that he's probably goign to pay dividends this season just based on that (if he stays healthy). This isn't just running backs, but mobile quarterbacks like Daniel Jones and Jalen Hurts that the Commanders face twice a season. Sweat is pretty bad at containing mobile quarterbacks, where Young has been considerably better. Once Young gets healthy enough to make some of his side steps and other moves that he couldn't at the end of last season, he'll probably also contribute towards the pass rush nicely.
He wasn’t drafted at #2 to be a run stopper at DE in a passing league .. he’s borderline bust right now and unless he has a dominant all pro contract year , Chase is a bust imo
@@2up2down00 Yeah I'm not saying he's not a bust for his draft position or anything like that. I just think they struggled at times against mobile QBs and against top tier running games, and Chase should be a marked improvement on those holes. Also, as I said I think he will be able to put pressure on the QB, especially the more he heals up and feels comfortable using spin moves and side steps, and even if he doesn't get sacks, if he gets enough pressure and contains the QB well, they'll try to escape him into the waiting arms of the rest of the d line. Theoretically speaking. But yeah, you'd hope a #2 overall pick would be getting to the QB and generating tons of pressure himself / forcing double teams, so by that metric he's currently a bust. I don't think he has to play like a top tier player though for this d line to feast more than ever this year though. But, we'll just have to wait and see.
It's a bit misleading to say he "can't stay on the field". That term is usually used to describe a player who has frequent or successive small injuries of various kinds to various body parts. Chase had one major injury, to his ACL and other elements of that knee joint. His recovery was slow of necessity based on the severity of the injury. Also, it would not be surprising if he was a little guarded at the end of last season when he finally did get to play for the first time after the ACL. At times he seemed to be a little tentative. The question is whether he is really fully recovered or whether there is some permanent damage that will always affect his play. For that reason, I think, the Commanders may have preferred to see what happens on the field this year. Or perhaps the Commanders have some inside information that is not favorable for the long term prognosis.
He tore his Patellar tendon which is way worse than tearing your ACL and he did that too. A torn Patellar tendon is a death sentence to an athletes productivity in any sport. I tore mine last year in my 14th year in the military and I still can barely run now. Knee gives me all kinds of pain I can't imagine the pressure he has to deal with
How are u saying INJURIES as if he's had a bunch of injuries throughout his career. Da kid only missed 1 game for a groin and da rest of da time missed was because of a very serious knee injury. Historically that is a 12 month recovery. So how is there a injury concern? I don't hear any1 having injury concerns with Joe Burrow even though he tore is ACL and missed a yr.
@@tommylomein That is an entirely separate thing though. Guy tore his ACL & Patella tendon and missed 13 months. He doesn't have a injury history issue he had 1 significant injury. Some guys come back n 8 months good for them. Not every1 recovery is the same and Washington should want Young to be 100% fully healed and confident in that knee b4 getting back onto field regardless. He didn't have a gr8 yr but wt exactly were they expecting him to do after missing all of da offseason and most of da season rehabbing.... he'll have a better yr this yr. Will it be as good or better than his early showing?? Idk. We'll c
As a Washington fan…no. His mentality and on field production has not been there. He was cleared by doctors to play last season and chose to sit out an extra like 5-6 games, while Wsh fell ONE WIN short of making the playoffs.💀in the last 3 games of the season he did play he recorded 0 sacks and we lost like 2/3.
@@mauricemarshall8023 Everything I said was FACTS. NAME ONE FALSITY, he could’ve played if he wanted to, he was cleared to play, he was out for an entire calendar year or longer, all he had to do was come and play literally 15-25 snaps a game, that could’ve made the difference in us making the playoffs😭you clearly ain’t hip gramps u better get educated or sum
@@budmathews1119 he has Not proven to be a “very very good player”😭. Plus he already was cleared by doctors and sat out longer than he ryll should’ve considering he’d only be playing like maybe 20 snaps a night, and the playoffs literally on the line. Not to mention his post game comments sounding “very very” unenthusiastic about playing and coming back at all even though he was no longer officially injured. This was the #TWO pick😭he’s done nothing outside his rookie year, yes in large part due to injury but when he’s been on the field he just hasn’t been very impactful and disrupting offense near the degree he did in college, and has failed to get to the qb.
Chase like Clowney were both turned into OLB too early. They should have spent the entirety of the first contract at DE. All the guys who made that transition successfully (Julius Peppers, Mario Williams for half a season before injury come to mind) did it after being a DE in the early part before converting
I was confused as to how the media turned a 6 sack season into a pro bowl. 1000% confirmation bias. If another player had the exact same season and wasn’t drafted top2 he wouldn’t even sniff the pro bowl. He’s overrated
At least get the sack total right.... He had 7.5 in his rookie year and was selected as a third string defensive linemen. He was perfectly rated that year.
He had 10 tackles for loss , 12 qb hits , 7.5 sacks not 6 … 3 fumble recoveries one of them returned for a touchdown . 4 forced fumbles , 4 pass deflections. And his pressure was causing a couple of interceptions. How the media was hyping when actual nfl players voted him on top 100 ? You sound dumb pick up your knowledge on football and you’ll understand
@@ninetimesoutoften3577 no he was overrated asf. Since when tf is 7.5 sacks a pro bowl season? It’s not like he had a crazy amount of pressures like bosa did his rookie season. Overrated asf living off of his name and college reputation. He’s jadeveon clowney 2.0
Is it just me or has Chase not been the same player since the playoff loss vs Tampa ? When he came back in for his 2nd year, up until he got injured, he only had 1.5 sacks .
Chase young only had the ACL tear in his knee . That's the only time ai seen chase injured ! Yeah it was a bad injury that kept him out the game for 9 months but that's the only injury I seen him take! This video made him out like he's always injured and never playing . But I think chase is going to have a good season coming up . I don't think he's going to lead with sacks but he'll bat down passes and create fumbles along with getting a few sacks along the way .
As a redksins fan it’s very annoying seeing how good other top five DE are doing esp considering chase young was labeled a “can’t miss” prospect coming out of college. In hindsight it’s looks like Nick Bosa carried his ass all the way through OSU. He’s a bust. And for the love of god he needs a haircut.

Trent should’ve been called for a HOLD before the sandwich. You can see it!
We need him. Eventually, we are gonna have to pay him.
I'd say you're spot on that assessment of chase. Well said and done sir👍🏻👍🏻
The book end to compliment Bosa. Welcome to the Bay. Thank you WAS. Go Niners!
