PFF had him at an overall score of 64.9, but a 72.2 on tackling. I was a little surprised at that score, as his name kept showing up when I was taking notes (in a good way). He was in the upper 50s on pass rush, which I think pulled down his score.
He wasn't really being asked to rush the passer, but to help stuff the run, which he did quite well. I would be very surprised if Shelvin contributes remotely as well as he did.
They were running a 5 man front a lot with Hubbard, Carter, Hill, Tufele, and Hendrickson/Ossai. I think we will see this a lot against Atlanta as well, with Ossai kicking inside on pass rush downs. I could see Hill staying out there for almost every snap and moving around when Shelvin comes in. The key to defending the Atlanta rush is the Mariotta read-option outside runs. The ends have to stay home and force it inside and the LBs have to support quickly.
Someone said the Bengals wanted him, but JAX beat them to the punch, so they settled on Shelvin.
