Hopefully he sticks around and continues to develop for a few years. Last time someone got promoted too early and left to coach (Staley) it was a disaster

That's what I'd do...but I can see why people take head coaching opportunities early. There are only thirty-two of those spots available at one time, and when you're a candidate, you never know if it'll be available again. You never know what'll happen next year.

If Verse's career turns out to be anything like Terrell Suggs's career was, we have ourselves a HOFer like Suggs should be.

Verse's reputation is going to start preceding him and that's going to make offensive linemen very nervous and help him bigly.

It looks to me like Jared Verse has one thing on his mind, breaking the rookie record for sacks, tackles for loss and quarterback pressures.

I am pretty shocked he is this effective. It was clear in college his physical strength was his best attribute which undercut a lot of his game, not strictly his bull rush. I was not sure how it would translate to the NFL level. I did think he would be good, but not great, as a result. To my surprise, he seems able to absolutely bully pretty much every NFL offensive lineman he comes across. The dude is a monster! Good thing he is on our side. Curious how his career develops. His type of game seems higher risk to fall off faster when age starts to hit, or injuries pile up, but we're several years away from that yet - knock on wood re: the injury part.
Per PFF, V8 had 11 missed tackles in the first four weeks. He's only had four missed tackles in the six weeks since.

WOWWW... I knew he had pass rush chops, but run D is the cherry on top!

I've noticed his run defence improving a lot lately, he is in on way more tackles now as compared to earlier in the year, count me as totally wrong on Verse, I also was not optimistic he would clean up the missed tackles, but he is improving there as well, we might well have hit the jackpot.
