I would disagree with your analysis a little bit. Just because Fowler played a ton of run snaps doesn't mean he should be. Washington was very bad against the run a season ago, and a big reason why is they had DEs who were negatively graded against the run. If he really showed that he was an every down guy who can play the run he would have made more money this offseason a
I'd also disagree that he should be viewed as a DLaw replacement, and if so its not a good sign. DLaw the last couple of years was rushing inside the outside should of the tackle as much as he was being a true edge player. He was even moving all the way inside lining up in the A gap at times. I would have to believe that Fowler will take on more of the Carl Lawson role which was extremely similar to what he did with Dallas when Fowler was here. I really have to believe that they either draft a guy early on or are counting on some combo of Kneeland/Turner taking on the early run downs and having Fowler/Williams primarily take the passing downs.
Personally I wouldn't expect much more from Fowler than what he was the first time he was in Dallas...An above average situational rusher that you hope isn't ever a full time starter or else you're in trouble. He had roughly a 17.5% pressure rate in 2023 with the Cowboys, and despite the sack totals last year he actually dropped to 13% with Washington. This is a classic example of a pretty good depth player racking up stats because of a high quantity of play time over quality play. In Dallas he could get a small bump having a guy like Micah to take the attention off him, but I'm not sure an Eberflus scheme is going to be more beneficial to him than DQ.
