Not necessarily.
I could see that, yeah.
I think he has some athleticism.
I like the way he gets downhill, dude.
The way he attacks blockers, the pad level and leverage is something that you see right away, but it's just the way he launches himself into them.
He really does attack blockers.
He doesn't take them on.
He brings the fight to them.
He hits them with force, gets right in their chest, has the excellent pad level, and he understands how to use that leverage to just lift and shed pretty quickly.
I think also he does have short area quickness.
I'm not really sure how...
good he is as an athlete in terms of like sideline to sideline or anything like that but when he gets up close to like a lumbering lineman trying to lay a block on him he does have the short area quickness to just avoid the block entirely at times so there's that i think he closes on runners really really well too like he gets square he gets really really wide with his arms so that there's not a lot of lanes and he adjusts like i said that short area quickness
when a ball carrier is trying to make a last second move, he's, he's always keeping his feet moving to stay square when he makes the tackle.
And he has a strength to bring people down.
I do think that he could add some arm strength to help with tackles.
I think at times there's some grip strength issues, uh,
which I think a lot of his strength comes from really, really good pad level and leverage, which is the way it's supposed to be, by the way, which means that he can continue to grow with strength simply by hitting the weight room.
It's not a technique thing anymore.
It's just weights and probably steroids.
But...
