For the life of me, i cant figure out his lack of productivity and why he didnt finish plays. I dont think i see any lack of effort, at all, on film.
He has agility, pretty sure you saw that in Shemar's film. Like you said, he plays really hard. If you notice he gets lost when he puts
his head down when he is lined up and that is when he loses the QB and doesn't dominate the OL. He needs to wrap up once he gets
to the QB.
This can be taught. Get Trey extended and in camp, he will show him.

Maybe bit of each.
But he is young. Good work ethic. Seems well liked by coaches & teammates. Coachable.
Despite lacking sacking, he still graded out well vs the run. Some positionsl versatility, willing to play inside some.
Whatever it is, the hope is it is something that can be improved with coaching, experience, learning, & growth.
Pretty spot on Ike. Shemar has the stuff you cannot teach. My only worry is his IQ honestly after him talking about his dispute publicly.
But as you say he was universally liked by his coaches at A&M so there is hope. All I know is he can set the edge like a mutha in the run
game and that is sorely needed on this team. Trey is not the best run stopper, neither is Ossai and Murphy was terrible stetting the edge
last season. Shemar should be an instant upgrade over washed up Sam.
He will be much more disruptive as well with his lightning quick first step, athleticism, power and strength. All elite.
