If there is one thing Hurney can do,

Its always hitting 1st rounders out of the park

As some draft experts said "how do you even let that happen, letting him fall to 16"?

 

 

Nothing the guy could do.  Like one of the comments said, he jump cuts like a freaking RB

No one is going to give 94 credit for his stunt here? Obada looked like he belongs as well. 

The rest of the team...not so much. 

 

just read an article..on that play, Efe saw it ahead of time and called Brian's name.  Efe said he knew he had to shoot the gap and tie up both OL.  Brian knew what he was doing and you saw the result.

Good communication.  Efe should make the team.  Burns more advanced in his game than I even hoped for.

Efe has impressed me in each game thus far. He isn't a traditional 3-4 defensive end but he appears to have the knowledge, strength, desire, and ability to move to OLB/DE in multiple defense situations and could move inside. He is supremely athletic and with Burns, Haynes, KK, and McCoy, that could be devastating. 

Also, they practice this stunt. I saw a clip of GMC and KK doing the same stunt in a drill early on in camp. Worked like a charm.

It's been a long time since we've had a pass rusher that could consistently affect the game...

We have saw glimpses of that from several guys in the subsequent years (Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy, Mario Addison), but never anything sustained.

What's interesting is that the best year we had have in recent memory in terms of rushing the passer (2013) was when these above guys were our top 3 DE's.

I'm hoping that the combo of Addison, Irvin, Burns, and Haynes can approach this level, especially with McCoy, Short, and hopefully Obada providing some interior push

Personnel considered we should have one of the better pass rushes in the NFL this season, hopefully it all comes together Week 1 and on.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
