He doesn't have the best pass rush moves but that comes with snaps which he missed out on last year due to injury. And 50% of the time he's rushing his gap as dictated by the play. I understand the arguments against he's older but has very little wear and tear. He's raw as a football player but has showed decent vision for the amount of football snaps he's taken in his career. He's definitely a guy that can get good push in both the rushing and passing defense without getting over powered while Dunlap takes breathers.
Who do you think should backup LDE?
It doesn't come with snaps. It comes with talent. He lacks it.
I have rewatched 3/4 Q today...his great plays came 1. Unblocked and 2. vs the back up TE.
He was routinely stopped by the TE.
He was also washed out of several plays. It looks nice but when you actually watch the play and pay attention, he made his mind up about where he was going. The OL did what it should. Take him there, just let him run himself out of the play.
He wasn't picking Estonian daisies. He was still playing track. He was still power lifting. Demanding on the knees.
He didn't show any vision. He routinely missed plays. Routinely. He often watched as the RB ran by him. Or the QB.
He made one good play all game. On a stunt. Because it freed up another lineman.
