The Chase Young Effect (Appreciation thread)

After a full season now (1 week left) Chase Young is the highest graded Washington player (87.1) and coming off his best grade yesterday against Carolina. He is also a team captain now, I will admit I wanted Tua over CY as many on here know but I'm glad we didn't make that move now.

Chase is the difference maker this defense has needed since Sean Taylor died, I actually feel confident now when the defense is on the field. It's not just about sacks which if you looked at the stat sheet he isn't in the top tier , it's about the pressures and run game defense. I know I may be a little ahead of myself here but he looks like our Aaron Donald, someone that will be a game wrecker for over a decade.

You finally saw the light. He will be the next LT. He started slow because of the groin injury, now that he’s healthy you get to see the real Chase.

Normally I wouldn't approve of a rookie being named captain, but Chase is the exception.

I agree with everyone else, first time we've had a player on D who you just eyeball every play to see what he does since Sean died. Even London Fletcher in his heydey never had that effect.

I hope he is the cornerstone that will lead this defense into the elite category. We're not there yet, especially on run D, but we've made major improvement since last year.

Ditto everything said in this thread so far -- even the Herbert accolades, although I wouldn't trade Chase for Justin.

My favorite thing about Young? Even when double teamed, he ALWAYS finishes on the play ... running 20-30 yards downfield when the play is past him. THAT shows up on film when the entire D is breaking down the previous game ... and that will spread to other players too.

Our D is gonna be tasty good as Young learns the nuances of the game.

Chase was the correct pick !!! I love his attitude and leadership!!! We got the best of that draft !!

And the trade to get Montez Sweat makes up for the Haskins screw up.

to be fair had we not taken Haskins we would have taken Sweat at 15 and had the 2nd rounder that we gave up to the Colts

You are so right. Chase Young has taken the lights off the Haskins disaster, as well as the Snyder investigation.

Even bigger will be that point in the future when fans can come back to see the team. Chase Young will draw the fans who left because of 20 years of mediocrity. He will bring back the fans who left because of Snyder.

Next season the WFT will hopefully have Chase Young, a new team NAME, a new franchise QB and finally, we might have a new owner. But in the beginning they will come to see Chase Young!!!!

Phil Simms was good not great. But they had LT. Chase Young is a piece that can take some pressure off the QB to be the next Patrick Mahomes. He was the right pick then and still is the right pick now.

We probably could have drafted Sweat at 15 and kept the 2nd rounder if we didn't have Napoleon.

The video of CY talking up Heinike during the game is priceless. Love this kid. And man he plays with an abandon that is so rare - LT, Sean, and only a few other guys really have it.
