Hes a good tackler and is always around the ball. Hes the best coverage linebacker in the entire draft and because of his burst and length is very dangerous off the edge as a pass rusher.
Dye weakness is taking on blockers in the gaps. It's not that hes bad when shedding blockers because hes not he extends his arms and keep blockers out of his chest which allows him to shed easily, but when he comes down hill and meets a blocker he doesnt have the strength to push him.
Isn't that usually a sign that he's playing "too tall"? Admittedly, I haven't done any focused watching on him, but from the rest of your take on the guy, he sounds like he would be a good fit to pair with Pratt.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
