Is the Kevin Sheehan show on the team 980, Denton sitting in for Kevin.

Nats back in action today after a long All-Star break.

I say long because there was nothing to bet on, and I'm a degenerate.

Ryan Clary locked on Nats is going to be with us in about 30 minutes.

But right now, as we do each and every Monday through Friday on the Kevin Sheehan Show at noon, we welcome on the great Ben Standig to the program. Ben, long time, no chat, my friend, hope you're doing well. Where do you want to start? Is there something you are most passionate about? There's been a lot to discuss. Actually, you know what? I'm going to direct it. How about we start with Von Miller?

We'll get to the Terry stuff. Everybody wants to hear about the Terry stuff.

What were your thoughts on the Von Miller signing late on Wednesday evening?

Yeah, I mean, I think we all were like, hey, they're going to do some more on the end, right? And obviously there was the higher targets or Trey Hendrickson. But, you know, for me, looking at the landscape, there was a bunch of guys in the Von Miller sort of category. I mean, he's out, you know, the best of the bunch of when it comes to his career as a pass rusher. But, you know, a lot of guys who are out there who can rush a pass, but I'm kind of over 30, so you don't quite know what you're going to get. It's going to be limited and most likely. But he, you know, all those guys, you know, he certainly makes a lot of sense. He had six sacks last year. Sacks is not always the appropriate gauge for how well a player is performing as a pass

rusher, but if you look at some of the metrics on Pro Football Focus, he was ranked top 10

in win rate percentage for edge rushers.

There's another metric that factors in SACs, QB hits, hurries, and the number of a pass rush attempts,

and he was also top 10 there.

So, you know, again, if we're talking about somebody who at this point is probably coming

off the bench, he only played less than 40% of the snaps the last two seasons.

He's missed some games because of injury, but for a team that, you know,

there were certainly some questions about

what they had at pass rusher adding a guy like

Von Miller is, you know, an easy

way to go and a pretty logical

move.

What is a successful year

for him here in D.C.?
