Matt Judon

Well, I guess the Commanders can't bring in Tony McGee. As an Edge. Joe Gibbs did. Got them 10 sacks. Back in the day. Days of Glory. The first Super Bowl Championship.

Tony got 6.5 the Super Bowl year. Ten the next year. When they went 14-2. He was 33 in 82. He was 34 the year he got the 10. Thirty-four! Old as dirt. And a Bobby Beathard special. Not George Allen!

We're talking role player here. I would argue another former Skin, N.D. Kalu, was partially responsible for creating the phrase "pass rush specialist". When the Eagles got him, one year he had zero starts. But 8 sacks.

If I had to pick a guy on the roster of the Washington Commanders who will become an "Edge" for them it would be Javontae Jean-Baptiste. But he needs a mentor. Somebody who has a good background sacking the QB.

To me that is Matt Judon. He's played for a few of the Commanders' "silent partners". The Patriots. For whom he excelled (McGee came over from the Patriots). The Falcons. Silent partners. The Ravens. Silent partners. See also the 49ers, the Raiders, and, yes, the Dallas Cowboys.  

Judon is 33. Same as Tony when he came and got to the QB for the Skins.

I know there are other sackmeisters out there with experience. Za'Dairius Smith. Von Miller. It's which can produce and mentor. I think that's Judon. However, I won't complain about the other two.

Kudos to the New York Jets for bringing in Donovan Edwards. Maybe he's not Emerson Boozer. But when he gets in front HE STAYS IN FRONT. 

Sort of like Secretariat. I had hoped the Commanders might get Edwards. The thing is. The 40 yard dash? Nobody is chasing you. Take it from the Gazelle. Cheetah behind you? You run faster.

And yes. I remember Emerson Boozer.
