25. OSA ODIGHIZUWA, DALLAS COWBOYS
Odighizuwa struggled in run defense last year en route to a 50.8 PFF run-defense grade, but the entire Cowboys defense followed suit, so perhaps it came down to coaching. He did earn a 78.0-plus PFF pass-rush grade for the second season in a row.
Either way, this is interesting for a player we extended for $20M and passed on the chance to draft a more complete ( strong pass rusher AND run defender ) CHEAPER DT.Maybe its coaching. Hopefully it was because that is our only hope.
We didnt do much about the players so if they are the reason for the bad play... god help us.
I just wonder how often we changed defensive coordinators with the hope it was the coaches or the wrong system....make someone start to think. No? Ok....

Carter isn't as strong a run defender as the few above him. But I will take that every day coz he is literally unblockable as a pass rusher.The author is blind if they think Carter is any lower than #2.
Agreed taken as a whole he's a great package.Carter isn't as strong a run defender as the few above him. But I will take that every day coz he is literally unblockable as a pass rusher.
It certainly helped to have tackling machine Zack Baun behind him.Carter isn't as strong a run defender as the few above him. But I will take that every day coz he is literally unblockable as a pass rusher.
LBers don’t shine without a DLine ahead of them. Remember how much Urlacher struggled when their DLine was poor?It certainly helped to have tackling machine Zack Baun behind him.
I think that is more of PFF bs more than anything.What’s crazy is if all things were equal each team would have 1 player in the top 32 and the Eagles had 4. The back ups back up made the top 32. Ridiculous
And the UCLA linebacker shined bigtime.LBers don’t shine without a DLine ahead of them. Remember how much Urlacher struggled when their DLine was poor?
He was not a bad player here. He's the kind of player you're not going to pay big money to and likely look to replace. But guys like Collins tend to hang around and build 10+ season NFL careers.Collin’s turned into a solid player
I totally agree with that. Their rankings are sometimes bizarreI think that is more of PFF bs more than anything.
