It's Tuesday, which means it's time to open the mailbag and see what questions Washington Commanders fans want answered. We're pretty light on questions this week, but the ones we did get are worth examining further. So, let's get into it.

-- @MrEd315: What, besides being a mentor, has Von Miller brought to the Commanders?

Let's break this down, because I think Miller has actually brought a lot to the Commanders' defense. I know the question is about what qualities he adds besides being a mentor, but I don't believe we should simply write that off.

Miller's resume speaks for itself, but there is tremendous value in having him on the roster to provide players like Javontae Jean-Baptiste and even veterans like Preston Smith and Dorance Armstrong with some insight on how to rush the passer. Washington's coaches have spoken about how players perk up when Miller speaks because of the production he's had over his career. Obviously, there is a benefit to being around a master of your craft, and if the rest of Washington's defensive front can learn something from him, there are some long-term advantages to that as well.

Now, on to his production. Of course, Miller is not the player he was earlier in his career. Despite him being more athletically gifted than most at his position, he's simply not as dominant as he was when he was in his 20s. Go figure.

However, Miller has proven this year that he can still provide some production value in the right role. He's mostly been a pass-rush specialist, and in the last five games he is tied for the third most pressures on the team. He has a win rate of 15.4% on true pass sets -- fourth among Washington's defensive linemen -- and is credited with three sacks, which is second only to Dorance Armstrong.

What's more, Miller's total pass-rush win rate, according to ESPN, is tied for 16th among all edge rushers. Are there players out there performing better? Sure, but none of them are as seasoned as Miller.

So, what does Miller brought to the Commanders besides being a mentor? Depth, experience and production. He isn't playing perfectly, but he's the second-best pass-rusher on the roster right now, and considering how many quality quarterbacks are on the schedule, the Commanders will need every ounce of his talent.

-- @ColeBlack1: Who's the left guard when Cosmi returns? Any chance that Wylie slides over there?

A few weeks ago, I thought the offensive line would need some bigger adjustments once Sam Cosmi returned, but as of today, I think the solution is much simpler than that.

Chris Paul has made things much easier for the Commanders over the last few weeks. He claimed the starting job for himself prior to the Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders and has handled himself well in place of Brandon Coleman. He's allowed two pressures in three games and helped keep Jayden Daniels clean against the Chargers. His pass blocking grade is fifth best among guards, and he has helped the Commanders produce the best rushing offense in the league. So, all that's to say that Paul should remain at left guard once Cosmi comes back.

As for what will happen to Andrew Wylie, I believe he will go back to being a backup swing tackle with the second group. That's not a knock against him; I think Wylie has played admirably at both tackle and guard. But let's look at the options here: he's obviously not replacing Laremy Tunsil or Tyler Biadasz. We've already discussed how Paul is playing, and in my opinion, there's no need to replace him unless he starts to falter. Josh Conerly has had some growing pains but is coming along nicely at right tackle, and Cosmi will, of course, be the starting right guard.

Wylie will be one of the Commanders' depth pieces, and considering how well they run the ball, it's always good to have an experienced veteran as a backup option.
