Donovan Ezeiruaku reminds me of Robert Mathis

that was what angered me about the boys the last five years DeWare was with us. There was no one to take the pressure off of him. The opposing OC knew he had only one pass rusher to worry about.

It seems like we do it that way a lot. I was hoping Kneeland might change that last year, but knew the odds were long because he wasn't much of a pass rusher in college. He was a strong run-stopping end with "traits" to become a pass rusher. Ez is a pure pass rusher.

Of course, it isn't like we haven't drafted pass rushers before and just failed to hit the mark. Gregory and Sam Williams both were talented but troubled pass rushers coming out of college. However, while they had character question marks, there appear to be none with Ez and he's more developed in his moves. Both Gregory and Williams were more raw ability.

That kinda who he reminds me of. But he has really huge set of pass rush moves. So rare to see a college guy with more than a couple of moves

Lots of comps but I’ve said since the draft he plays like Dwight Freeny with those spin moves.

I bet he has more sacks next season than D Law had last year (3) maybe even the last 2 years, 7 total.

DLaw was one of the most overrated Cowboys in recent memory. He'd make a few plays for sure, but so many times he was out of position and gave up big plays. He was a good player, but I don't think he was nearly as good as the hype surrounding him. Honestly, when he went down with injury last year, did they really miss him that much? Seems to me the lack of depth at CB was a much bigger problem.

Wel it did not help that prett much all the RDE on the defense were more Left DE types. If Eze can become a legit RDE and the offense has to use more resurces to help the LT then everyone on the front 7 will benefit and Osa will look all world.
