What’s important and should be the staff’s focus for 2022?

Just from the small school and didn't get a ton of Sacks, but he had one of the highest win percentages, lots of pressures and
can stop the run. Also has the body to make the switch to 3-tech if we need him to.

You are correct, sir (In my best Ed McMahon voice).  Sample rated a 90.4 in pass rush in his final year in college.  He had 48 pressures in 316 pass rush snaps with 5 sacks.  He came out at 280 lbs, but I believe he is above that now around 290.  

He stayed very healthy in college although he did get a bit dinged up last year, which always seemed to happen (like Kareem) just as he was starting to shine.  

His snap count looks like an eye chart as he lined up at both outside backer spots, both DE spots, and both DT spots.  (although I am not entirely sure, I am guessing they ran some version of a 3-4).

My hope for Sample and Kareem is now that they were able to show a little of their talents, they get more snaps in rotation to keep the front line guys fresh and the team has a feeling for where to give them the most opportunities.

One thing I love about both guys:  relentless nature.  Like Hubbard, like Hendrickson, and like Reader and Hill....these guys don't take snaps off and I think they will be a much more significant part of 2022.  

They should have a leg up on the likes of Hubert, and the rookies, but I feel like with this coaching staff that if anyone really shines, they will play regardless of draft status.
