Thoughts on Bradlee Anae

[3rdEyewarrior]

I was down on the pick at first because he ran 4.9. The I remembered D-law ran 4.80 while weighing 251. Lawrence weighs 266 now, so I'm certain he's a 4.9 guy himself at this point.
Anae's no slower than Lawrence. HOPefully he has technique and a high motor.

He has a quick first step, good motor and pretty good hands.

Going to be interesting to see how he pans out.

 

[CATCH17]

He looks slow and plays slow.

Maybe he can do something at the end of games when the other team is tired.

Thanks for the insight.

He’s going to end up being a quality rotational player. Plays faster than his 40 time, and 40 time isn’t very important anyway.

With Demarcus Lawrence and Bradlee Anae, technique means everything.
We really do seem to be blessed with several impact pass rushers.

Mere speed and quickness aren't all. Ours have great hands and strength.

If you ever watched him play, you wouldn't question things about him. He didn't have a great combine and that killed his draft stock. He was #89 on Kipers list an should have been a day 2 pick and the Cowboys totally stole him in the 5th.

For both Demarcus Lawrence and Bradlee Anae, technique means everything. We really do appear to be blessed with two impact pass rushers.

Law's weakness is speed. He covers it up with technique and strength. Plus he has a good first step, but if he ran a 4.7 or taster, he'd dominate more and wouldn't be invisible for 2 or 3 straight games. He also wouldnt have to line up on the strong side. He's a all-time great run stuffer and a very good pass rusher.

well obviously I didnt watch him play. That's why im humble enough to ask those who have seen him play. College has too many players for me and others to have seen every single player.

I never heard of him before. But everything I've read since he was drafted seems impressive.

 

[Risen Star]

He'll have a 12 year career here never failing to reach double digits sacks in a season and he'll retire second on the Cowboys all time sacks list behind Dorance Armstrong.

Actually, you caught me before my post was complete. Before I ever read your post, I added the very same things you mentioned. Speed and quickness are far from the only strengths that make pass rushers effective. I surely agree with that fact wholeheartedly. We have several pass rushers likely to give our opponents fits. I think we might be safe to add Armstrong to that list. We'll see.

 

[JBell]

He has an above average 10 yard split which is much more important than a 40 time for a DL.

You mean 3rd behind Trysten Hill and then Armstrong

 

[Bullflop]

If Aldon Smith and/or Gregory add anything worth mentioning to our corps of pass rushers, we'll be set. I've avoided including them on that list, due to Goodell being so unpredictable. In any event, pressuring opposing QBs should be a strong suit in 2020. I'm counting on that. So should you.

I was shocked when I saw just 265. I figured like 280

Defensive ends are like that kid being chased by a dog, you don't have to be Faster than the dog is, just be faster than one of your friends.

Lawrence
Gregory
Smith
Armstrong
Anae
Crawford

That sounds solid and projecting...

yep, I’ve been in this situation and my friend got tore up by 2 dogs when we were like 12. I was insanely fast though, I went to the same high school as Olympian and NFL player (DJ Dozier) and I broke DJ Dozier’s 100m HS record lol.. kid never had a chance.

lol @ people judging DL by 40 times.
