He’s playing so well as an UDFA rookie at a position where guys just simply don’t usually play that well until year 2 or 3.
His upside is extremely high for a guy that’s just a rotational player right now. Him and Jones as our interior pass rushers is going to be unfair for the next few years. [Reply]

Pretty sure since he dislocated his elbow they're being cautious with him because they can be. [Reply]

The only things he lacks are elite explosion or fluidity. He basically can be a better Kpass for us.
We're a 12-1 team so I'm not disappointed in anything other than the one loss. But I will say that I'm surprised that Kpass hasn't become more of a force. He made great strides forward last year, and I never really see him make an impact play this year. He ties up a blocker and that's about it. Given the good play of the other d-linemen, I'm a little surprised that he's still getting the starting role and playing time. [Reply]

Kpass just isn't enough of an athlete to win on the edge consistently, he's not explosive or quick, he's gone after this year. [Reply]

Yeah it appears that Kpass has hit his ceiling. [Reply]

And if our 3rd round DT from a year ago has already fallen out of favor that’s not really a good look, so i hope that’s not the case. In a vacuum it’s not that big a deal, but when you factor in the Speaks pick from the year before and Kpass the year before that it’s not ideal if you have almost nothing to show from two 2nds and a 3rd spent on the DL.
Dude had a significant injury. What's the rush in labelling him? [Reply]

What fucking difference does it make when you’re hitting on guys like Nnadi, Wharton, and Danna at the same time?
You are such a negative miserable fuck that you will focus on anything bad while ignoring all the good. [Reply]

Could be huge for us going forward. I meant to thumbs up this, but accidentally thumbed it down - my bad! [Reply]

No worries, I don’t know how to see that anyway! It sure could be really good. I feel like hitting on guys that are solid contributors, even if they never become stars, is how your build a dynasty when you do have the stars like Mahomes, Jones, etc taking up big chunks of the cap. [Reply]

Fair enough. That seems about right. He’s developmental depth. [Reply]
The way we play against NO will be telling. That’s a damn good team that we should beat, but can just as easily lose to if we aren’t in the top of our game.
I’d love to see them go out and play a dominant game front to back and beat NO. That will be a high quality win. [Reply]
