In other words, he has all the measurables that you mentioned, just not actual production in the college ranks (1.5 sacks each year). Abdul Carter, for example, had 12 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss in 16 games last season. How does someone with so much speed and strength and quickness -- accomplish so little in terms of sacks and tackles for loss? It is now going to come up to whether Golden can develop him. He must think that he can, because they did draft him knowing how poor his production was in college.
When I saw his tape, I saw that he had his head down a lot and was too focused on beating his man and then he had to locate the play. They need to teach him to rely upon his god given ability but keep his head up, for quicker play recognition. And that can be taught.
Neither Lou or our former OL coach were talent developers, especially on the OL. I am hopeful, especially after listening to them in interviews, that we actually hired guys with this skill.
But this is where we are, and I guess we'll see with Stewart and Murphy.
