Osa Odighizuwa will make the Pro Bowl this season

[john van brocklin]

I think this is his breakout year. Hopefully he won't play in the Pro Bowl this year because he will be too busy preparing for the Super Bowl.

Love your optimism

Lost in the news of the edges and run defense benefitting from an improved Hankins/Mazi combo is that Osa will never have a better chance to join the pass rush party. Looks like he’s taking advantage of it through week one.

He's a liability as a run stopper, but excellent quickness rushing as a 3 tech. A very good player to run stunts with

so you predict it after a 2 sack game? Lol

and ummm…….no pro bowl

I’m hoping as the season goes on mazi shows a little more each week. But I think year 3 is when he really gets to be an impact player
It’s really tough playing inside and so much to learn for these guys

I don’t know man… Mazi had some decent plays yesterday. He will never get a lot of sacks but he got in the backfield a couple of times and once pushed the center back in the QB’s lap. That is exactly what we need from him.

And that center he pushed back was John Michael Schmitz who I thought was one of the best OL in this draft. He had trouble with Mazi on that play.

Mazi was fine for his first ever game.

Nope

Honestly want to see this type of output against the best lines in the league and the giants ain’t one of them

I do like what I saw from the defense last night though

 

[T-RO]

He's a solid player and playing alongside Micah...he's "gonna get paid." He's gonna eat. If Parsons gets double-teamed...the opportunity is there to feast.

 

[J-man]

Osa has become a very good DT IMO. Which I predicted when he was drafted. You don't mess with a wrestler! They are the toughest of the tough and have work ethic most people can't fathom.

I really like what I see from Armstrong as well. Going back into last season and this game, he's become an all around quality DE.

 

[T-RO]

Enjoying the thread, but c'mon. Osa is not a pro-bowler.

He's feasting on Quinn-Micah leftovers.

 

[Pass2Run]

Odighizuwa is a better player than Armstrong. He has a really good pass rush from inside at DT, and he is going to get a lot of sacks this season.

He’s a dangerous 3 tech.

But yeah, you’re right about the patience and improvement.

I will never understand the dislike for Armstrong. All he does is outperform expectations. Guy is solid and pretty darn clutch.

I agree. I don’t think he’s gonna be a double digit sack guy myself. It’s actually very few guys who play inside who accomplish that. But I think he will get much better at collapsing the pocket and getting pressure. That is really impactful even if you don’t get to the QB because it makes it harder for the QB to step up in the pocket and avoid the guys off the edge. Sometimes a guy really impacts a play when he’s not even in one the play. Parsons had a rush he got doubled but that opened up. a lane for another rusher. Some really impactful plays never end up on a stat sheet

Too bad a sack assist isn't a stat.

No he's not. He's about as good as any DT in the league at stacking and shedding blocks when he's not asked to shoot a gap.

Why? The standard for pro-bowl level play from a DT is, effectively, beat single blocking and get to the QB. There are no passrushing DTs who get doubled regularly outside of like Donald and Jones.

If your not an all pro, your not well liked on here. its dumb but its what it is.
