I feel like he got swallowed up by their LT. Thoughts.

Didn't really notice him one way or another.

Any ideas how many snaps he played?

 

[CowboyStar88]

He had a few pressures and did a solid job in the run game on his side. I was happy with his play. You could tell they got more pressure and he was apart of that

Rookie's first game. No impact. No unexpected. Hoping he gets better.

But considering he was 2 draft picks ... couldn't he have morphed into another player on some of those plays ???

Had an almost sack early on. I thought he was ok. It'll take time. Our offense did the defense no favors.

This was his first real NFL game. I think he had a couple of good plays and is as good as any other edge rusher we have. He will get better. I will say the one thing he needs to do is get off the ball faster. I watched several plays just looking at him. He get's off the ball really slow. If he can fix that, I think he could contribute something we lack big time.

He had a nice pressure and near-sack when lined up at LDE.

I don't think he played a high number of snaps. I'm guessing less than 20.

I saw him get some pressure. That said, he hardly played any snaps. Actually, I only ever recall seeing him in the game on 2nd downs if I remember correctly. Any time they were on a running down and distance. I did not see him in the game.

There were a lot of 1st downs and a lot of 3rd and 2 downs.

His official stat line was one solo tackle and one assist. He wasn't awarded with any QB hits; but had some pressure on one of Melton's sacks.

Damn I actually agree with you.. Don't make this a habit thanks lol

 

[brymatt94]

I was surprised how well he seemed to play the run. A few pressures but he was able to stack and shed on the run better than I expected.

 

[nablives]

I thought the hype was behind him, but Hitchens was the rookie making a real difference.

He played a nice game. I'd like to see him in there more.

He helped with Melton's sack. I don't think he played much.

 

[rayyyy5x]

i actually saw one play where he immediately backed out of his pass rush and gauged the running back to make a tackle.... the awareness kind of surprised me for his first game

never expected much. looking at his college production I feel people were really expecting way to much.
he can be a good player, I would like to hope he will get better

 

[supercowboy8]

Veldaheer is a good player. And for a rookie making his first start against him is hard. I saw him putting pressure on the QB early in the game but looked like he got gased late in the game.

Yeah, he's just not in game shape yet. He should be primed for NY n Philly
