Thing is, looking through four of his game films, he pretty much just drops into a deep zone in coverage, which explains the high completion %. And he's bad at it. He's constantly late in reacting to crossers and out routes. He has a rep against Texas where the outside receiver clears out up the sideline and the inside receiver gets up to his outside shoulder and runs an out and he doesn't even react. He's just standing there staring in the backfield as the ball comes out for an easy completion. It's a consistent pattern in both the run and pass game. He gets complete tunnel vision staring in the backfield and is totally oblivious to everything going on around him. He does a good job covering the HB flare, but that's about it. QB's will be able to freeze him their eyes and Roethlisberger would destroy him with that pump fake of his.
He's a very disruptive pass rusher, but he has at least one botched run fit that goes for a huge gain in each of the films I watched. He's the type of player that if you just watch his highlights, you'd think he's amazing, but he blows more plays than he makes. There are times he seems instinctive, but with the blown fits and hesitation in zone, it seems more like he's just guessing than reading and reacting.
Thanks for this, not as high on Queen again lol
