He hasn't quite been almost Anthony good. But you are
He's been a little better then average.
Another almost Anthony type.
in the ballpark.
Disagree on Taco.
He is physically similar to Greg Hardy who would be one of if not the very best RDE in the league if he didn't have mental problems.
It will be interesting to see. I would be ok being wrong on this. If he turned into a Hardy without the problems that would be great.
I think you are a very informed poster, but I hesitate to draw the same conclusion you do in this instance. I think Hardy is a bit of an outlier rather than the norm. Hardy got it done with excellent physicality. While it is true that Tacos forte' is going to be power rather than speed I'm not sure you can say he is on Hardy's level.
Most of the guys who excel on the right side have speed and power or at least speed and excellent technique. Taco is likely going to ultimately be strong against the run because he is bigger and stronger than the average DE. I'm just not sure we are going to see elite pass rushing numbers from him.
I guess time will tell on this. I'm not saying Taco cannot succeed on the right side. No one knows that for sure. But I hope we don't try to put a square peg into a round hole on forcing him to play on the right side, when he might really excel on the left side. I think his lack of true speed is less critical on the left side going against less dominant tackles. That's just my theory.
