Its scary that he played this well while playing almost every snap of the game after McClain got hurt -and at the NT position that designed to be double teamed.

Also a part of him game that makes him flash dominance is the strength to strip the ball out of a QBs hands like they were a child. You saw it today and in the GB game. When is the last time we had a DL with that kind of brute strength? He looks like Lawrence Taylor on those plays.

First thing I thought. Dude seems to cause a fumble every other time he's in the backfield.

He's 23, and it's a little weird he looks like a beanpole at 280+ lbs. Just think of what he could do with several years of Marinelli tutelage.


23... Can't believe he's that young... We've had him 3 years now right?

Calais Campbell had the same body type coming out of Miami, if I remember correctly.

I'm not sure if it's brute strength or if it's because he's Inspector Gadget out there with those long arms.

Was Tyrone Crawford having as good of a year as Irving the year before we gave him a big contract?
