was hard to tell how much this guy played - but I did notice him driving to the QB and the ball alot ...
was he always lined up on the left side (matthews position?)
Im tempted to say he might be better then walden and or zombo(how long is he out for?)
but then again we probably have to have a bigger sampling ...
anyways - want to see this guy play in some real games - if he can pull off a int or some ball stripping against some teams in the real season then Whoya!

He's the biggest and strongest one, so I guess that shouldn't be a surprise. He looks good against the run on most plays too.
He does look kinda slow in coverage a lot of the time. Not sure if he knows it well enough to anticipate yet. He says he screwed up on his INT, and I believe him. He just looks a little lost and slow out there on some plays. I guess that's to be expected of a raw undrafted rookie DE/LB conversion, especially with a shortened offseason. Maybe they can get him some work on coverage in practice before they make him drop into coverage in a real game, and just rotate him in as a pass rusher until he gets a little more comfortable.
