Sample just might live up to his draft status after all if he keeps being able to block and roast Dunlap.

Heard Dunlap has been looking better than ever this year too.

Los missed some games early last year, but over the last 8 weeks of the season he was 3rd in the league in sacks (8) and 4th in QB hits (16).
One of the 3 players with more QB hits was Carl Lawson who was 2nd in the league with 20.
If we keep both of these guys health we will have a very good pass rush.

Remember that Joe Burrow 6-of-6 touchdown drive that we wrote about after Friday’s scrimmage? Well, this is how the rookie quarterback’s first four drop-backs went Sunday in the team’s return to the field:
Overthrow. Sack (Sam Hubbard). Sack (D.J. Reader). Coverage sack.
And it didn’t stop there as the defensive line spent most of the practice in the offensive backfield, disrupting or outright erasing what head coach Zac Taylor and offensive coordinator Brian Callahan intended for Burrow to do.
“I think overall we had a really good day today,” defensive line coach Nick Eason said. “These guys are being very coachable and doing the things we’re asking them to do and slowly progressing to where we can be a dominant force.”

The offensive linemen, tight ends and running backs did one-on-one blocking drills against the defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs, and Sample was a big winner. Sample won his battles against Carlos Dunlap, Sam Hubbard and Carl Lawson, the latter two of which came in a span of just two reps. Sample also roasted Dunlap in the one-on-one receiving drill.
Good stuff, encouraging info. Thanks for sharing.

Apparently there was a play where Jonah had to hold Lawson and he still broke free and flushed Burrow out of the pocket...

Yeah, The Law is a tough matchup for anyone when rushing the passer.
I just hope he can stay healthy and be more of a 3 down End. Get some of that Hubbard versatility man.
