Loved the pick and extremely happy he's developed the way he has. The best part about the guy are his off season workout videos :D

This is awesome… I was getting set to start one, but you beat me!!

Friggen Barney Rubble is getting it done!

He’s redeeming the 2019 draft class.. and solving some of next year’s cap problems if he keeps this up.

Much, much needed internal boost.

That is awesome! I'm curious as to what is holding this defense back considering their pass rush win rate and run stop win rate?

Also tells me that there is a lot of room for this defense to get way better in late December/January!

Pass rush win rate is between the defensive player and the O lineman. It does not take into account what actually happened on the play. If the QB throws before the defender arrives or scrambles away or whatever else, it's still a good play for the offense. That's what's happening.

I gotcha there, I understand that if the coverages were better then the aforementioned statistics would translate more to overall defensive performance.
I just was trying to avoid stinking up a positive thread is all :)

Yeah I recall several of us liking that pick. For me it’s because I remember of giving Penn State fits in their bowl game. He was a beast.

Yes. He's taken a huge step up this season. VERY nice to see. We probably haven't seen his best yet either.

He has replaced Ndamukong Suh... just like Wade Philips said he would when they drafted him.

I was pondering the same question as I was reading this post. I think it boils down to:

1) poor play at ILB,
2) inability to scheme a more dynamic inside pass rush
3) soft 10 yard cushion from LOS on pass coverage.

We have the horses to fix #2 and #3. I’m cautiously optimistic we have already figured out #1.

Greg Gaines has been an absolute revelation, and it makes me more comfortable losing SJD and/or Robinson in free agency/cuts.

I always liked this guy, but he's definitely taken a step up this year.
