Well, we supposedly liked similar players like Anthony Barr as an edge.Where would we play this guy in this scheme? Seems to small for WDE.
Sam LB??
The added plus is that he could have a seat in the LB room if the DL one was a little full.Very interesting. I was really hoping we could get him at #60, but I do not think its likely. A thing to keep in mind is that he got 8.5 sacks in just 8 games his senior year and he was dropping back over half the time. I could see where he would spend a year behind DLaw, primarily a pass rusher and then take over the RDE spot in year two.
To me, this sounds a lot like a Rod guy:
Explosive, quick-twitch athlete. Bursts out of his stance and challenges the edge. Good shoulder turn at the edge of rush and can dip and corner with very tight radius. Showed ability to play in variety of spots. Crisp change of direction ability. Took to his coaching and showed drastic improvement against the run this year.
I just don't see the fit. Maybe I'm wrong. Tremendous athlete. I'd say he's as quick as Gregory and a better athlete overall. But his legs look so damn skinny. If we were to pick him, do we let him do what he does now? Will Marinelli stray from the four man line?
I would love to be a 3-4 team this year and have the options of Bowser, Watt and Reddick
I am still not 100% sold on most of these more natural 3-4 types as fits for the Cowboys, but it is not like they have not evaluated them that way before.
It just seems we are stuck with a lot of strongside types that basically hold the perimeter and really don't have much to attack the pocket. Perhaps that is the thinking, who knows.
Im guessing he is a Leo. Sam on run downs, RDE on passing downsWhere would we play this guy in this scheme? Seems to small for WDE.
