Only needed to watch two minutes to see the following:

1) Has a ridiculously quick first step

2) He sets and holds the edge well in the run game and is disciplined.  Most of our young DEs we've had before (Delaire, Hall, Ealy, etc) struggle keeping playing time because they are not disciplined and do not set the edge (it's not all about just getting after the passer).

3) He's been asked to drop into coverage

4) He takes plays off when he's tired (definitely coachable)

I watched the first 1:50

As I've been saying bad pad level and definitely bad hands. Doesn't deliver a consistent good punch nor does he maintain separation and work his leavers as he moves flat down the line of scrimmage. 

I'll break down more later.

I can't wait..lol

A few observations..

1. All the worry about his size.. BC didn't run to many plays his way.. He didn't get pushed back alot held his ground pretty well...They double teamed him 50% of the time.. They chipped him repeatedly with a RB or TE.. And paid for it when they left there OT on a island..

2. I like how he was able to move around.  Rush from either side.  Lined up in the middle and dropped in coverage (got beat a few times 1 on 1) .. He has alot of versatility..

I'm no scout but I'll tell you what I see; both the good and the bad.

  • As mentioned above, his pad level is not great at all which can be hard on a taller lankier guy.
  • Has to use his hands better when getting off blocks.
  • Has to continue to build up his frame. There's times where he's being pushed around by bigger OT's
  • If he's going to really be an OLB and not just a pass rushing DE then his coverage has to improve
  • I think his effort isn't always there. Hard to tell from film.
  • Definitely has a fast first step
  • He is very disciplined when it comes to containment and forcing runs inside. That won't help him get on the stat sheet much but it is what you typically ask your ends to do.
  • Needs more power to finish his tackles.
  • Seems to get lost in the muck sometimes but being a step back from the LOS might help him.
  • Frankly he isn't as disruptive as I'd like for a first round pick to be and he's going to be a project. Hope I'm wrong, and I do believe he'll develop with better coaching and size, but I don't see him pushing for ROTY.

Gets shoved around by bigger tackles

hands aren’t the greatest

looks to rely on pure athleticism at times

coverage skills are slightly above average

 

Hes going to be a project starting out. Ron said as much when asked if he would be starting day one...

“Brian will be part of the rotation”

Thats a 1st rounder folks.

A good rotational fit.  Everything a team wants in a first rounder.

    • While I'd love to add him, it just doesn't make sense for where we are at in our re-build right now. The only teams who should be interested are those who have a very legitimate shot at winning the SB this season, as any team who makes the trade is going to be mortgaging their future to make the move. Teams who make these kinds of trades and then give them the massive contract, in the hopes that it will expedite their path to contention, ALWAYS ends up backfiring because they have to give up the 1st round picks that are then needed to help build out the rest of the roster after eating up such a significant chunk of the cap on the new contract. There is no way the Cowboys trade him for anything less than 2 future 1st rounders (and probably more), plus we'll have to make him the highest paid non QB in league history.  Not to mention that it would then have made the Scourton and/or Princely picks a bit of a waste, as those 2nd and 3rd round picks would have been better off used on a ILB or DB
    • Like his approach to pre season that's ro get them out there and play together for a few plays and right about the night before and morning before.  Maybe we can come out the gate on fire I can smell the smoke from here!!   Go Panthers
    • Only 26 years old, fills the biggest hole on our roster. Top 3 at his respective position, yeah fug it how often does a future HOF player become available in their prime?
