Is it too early to declare him a bust? I know he's only like 4 games in, but man....there's not even hurries from his side. Where's the quickness we saw at Boise St? Shante Carver and Kavika Pittman were both really quick in college too......just sayin'...

Really? ???????
I guess we should have expected this thread but geez really so soon?

No, not yet. But in all honesty, he did not impress me at all and I did not like the pick given the sacrifice to move up and get him. I want to see him succeed, though, because this team needs a quality pass rusher.

Give him one more year -- since he was a highly-coveted (by Dallas) prospect; he needs to produce at a high level very soon -- before he is written off as a bust.

give it 2 more seasons before putting him in Ebenezer Ekuban territory.

I was honestly tempted to start this thread as a joke to complain about his lack of impact last night, but someone beat me to it. This is a joke right?

He will never be what people here want, he isn't a true edge rusher, doesn't have the get off or natural speed.
What he will do is win with hands, technique and combination of moves.
I still look for a TRUE edge rusher in the next draft, you cannot have too many.

The best pass rushers in Dallas Cowboys history (excluding D-Ware) had bland first names: Charles, Harvey, Randy, Ed, Bob. Maybe Dallas just needs to stick to that philosophy when drafting pass rushers. :D

He's not a bust but he isn't the savior many had hoped for either. I pretty much said so in my predraft analysis also.

Definitely not a bust because it's way too early to make that call.

But I will say that in the few times I watched him, I just don't see the explosiveness that would make me think he's going to be an elite pass rusher.

Yes, but it's not to early to mention that he has been a solid contributor in his limited snaps.

Its early , it was an emotional game.....please see it in your hearts(those that have one ) to be gentle.....Even the best of us slip up sometimes.
