He was a 3rd round pick after all, so because of one good game in the preseason doesn't mean we should expect him to dominate so early. I think if he ever breaks out, it won't be until next year since he will be a year longer removed from the ACL injury.
Remember even Geno Atkins had a down year the year after coming back from his injury and was back to normal the year after.
Dominate is one thing, but it would be nice to see him make a play every once in awhile. 3 tackles, 0 sacks, and 1 QB hit through 5 games is pretty underwhelming for a guy we had decently high hopes for.
I would have loved a Carl Lawson like rookie season from him, but it doesn’t seem like he’s going to be anywhere close to that this year.
