I noticed a lot of opportunities where he's in the backfield in no time flat and should have had the TFL but the RB would find a way to sneak out...

I guess this can be phrased in different ways - dude was playing like an out-of-control rookie.
Verse's words - he has to keep his feet underneath him @0:58
D'Marco's words - calm down, make sure you get your money, don't miss @3:00; hypothetical AD telling him "you need to slow down" @4:30
Can smarter play get Verse 10 more sacks? Probably.

Cossell said in his pre-draft analysis of Verse, that he has stiff hips. That explains his trouble turning the corner early on, and why more agile runners were able to avoid sacks. But as the year went on, Verse adjusted nicely and the Rams coaches did too by getting him more inside pass rushes with stunts and such.
It worked out in the long run and the learning curve is in the rear view mirror. I can’t wait to watch this pass rush in the coming season.

Well, he was a terrible finisher.....but, also, a great disruptor.
I think his sack numbers will improve.
But, his win rate and pressure rate is super impressive....he also missed quite a few tackle for loss opportunities.
Maybe from playing as fast as he can? not sure.
It surely is not a lack of strength.
Some of his wins against some excellent tackles was impressive as hell however.

If he is healthy I see double digit sacks this year. He knows what he needs to do to get that big second contract.

Every defensive end, defensive lineman, linebacker, and defensive back misses sacks every year, so this is nothing new. But Verse got to impulsive and reacted to his blocker than in remaining disciplined to his assignments. But at least he cares enough to want to learn from his mistakes and improve, as I have no doubt that he is going to have a monster year in the upcoming season.

I think it’s great that he recognizes what he was doing wrong. I remember AD saying a lot of the same things. It will be interesting to see if Jared gets the same attention AD got after his first season. I think we have too many pieces for teams to pull that off. Look for V8 to really improve his numbers this season.
