Impressed by Maliek Collins

[HellCrowe]

I was very impressed with our 3 man rush. While Lawrence carried the team, Maliek was able to get his own even while double teamed. I haven't seen us generate much of an interior rush in recent seasons and we may have something here.

Heck yeah! Maliek had a heck of a game! He used his hands really well against the center when he sacked Palmer.

 

[robbieruff]

Yes - it was nice to see MC hammer show up and be the disruptive force we expected him to be based on the flashes from his rookie season and all of the reports coming out of training camp. The first quarter of the season could likely finish up a not-too-shabby 3-1 (frankly I was expecting a loss when I first looked at the schedule), though we still need to get by an improved Rams squad. We get Irving back shortly and with a 3-headed monster of Law/Collins/Irving and our other role players it appears our DLine could be a force. Hopefully it gives this young secondary a chance to find its footing (and overcome the chronic hammy issues...sigh) and we're peaking at the right time during the home stretch of the season. Maliek is definitely going to benefit from all of the attention Dlaw will garner so he NEEDS to take advantage!

That 3 man line seems to work well for us. Especially early here, as we get better with the zone coverage. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of it.

Maliek has a lot to do with DLaw’s success. They are working very well together.

I am salivating at the thought of a Collins, Irving, DLaw led pass rush.

Exactly and no one is saying it.

Maliek Collins is a future star. He IS the future War Daddy. On pace for back-to-back 5+ sack seasons from a DT at only 22 years old. That's incredible

I echo the can't wait to see Irving added to this:

 

[Risen Star]

David Irving.

4.5 career sacks.

Stop going after the low hanging fruit.

I am not a fan of a 3 man rush. Against good O lines we will not have the success we did last night. I think it will hurt us big time, because we won't be able to get to the QB.

 

[Proof]

just a few weeks ago Lawrence had 9 career sacks.

Personally, I'm not impressed with Collins. I think he's so-so.

Yeah, but Mayowa had 6 sacks last year and we all know Irving was far more disruptive than Mayowa. He's our third or second best pass rusher right now. It's okay to get excited about the prospect of having a functioning defensive line.

More like the opposite IMO. DLaw was dominating last night, most of it was of his own making.

I did too but he was simply abusing Shipley one on one last night. Not sure if that says more about Shipley or not.

Shipley is a lower tier center.
