0:00On March 31st, Washington commanders general manager Adam Peters called her right after their five-win, 12-law season. He wanted a younger, faster team with a stronger pass rush. Two months in, he delivered by signing edge rushers, Odefei Owe, Kalavon Shesan, and Charles Omenihu. Last year, the commanders had the league's oldest roster and managed just 42 sex, heard bad by injuries to guys like Doran's Armstrong and others. Their defense lacked consistent pressure, relying too much on runstoppers and on proven talent. Head coach Dan Quinn is hyped, straight up saying, amen, Peters delivered. Peters himself was shocked they landed Owe and Shesan, both still climbing with double the pressures of anyone on last year's squad, and 21, sex combined. These new additions bring elite speed. Owe ran a 4.3740 at 257 pounds, and versatility, freeing up stars like. Darren Payne for more one-on-one shots.

1:00Payne bounced back big before with 11 and a half sacks when less double teamed. With the draft a month out in the seventh pick and hand, more rushers could join the mix. Quinn wants ways of pressure like the best teams, and Washington's building that depth right now.
