He was undersized coming out and experts didn't think he could hold up against the run - which is pretty much what he has shown. He was also just a speed rusher in college, and very one dimensional. Tackles with good length could just shut him down. Keep in mind, people keep talking about his subpar performance last season, and what a better fit he is in Saleh's defense. But his first two seasons, both in Saleh's defense - he only had 2 sacks each season. So his ONE stellar season came in his contract year...

Sacks dude's pressure rate his last two seasons in NJ were elite. His pressure rate in his limited snaps in Philly was also top 10. He then had a wrist injury last yr.

just because you don't get a sack, doesn't mean you didn't affect the play or get a winning rep.

At this pt he's not just a speed rusher, for sure his get off is elite, but there's speed to power. I've seen a hump move.

he's very much in the same mold as Yannick Ngakoue.

Yeah, he has a few moves he uses successfully. It will be interesting seeing how he changes the way offenses attack the 49ers.

Pressures are great but sacks are better. We've all seen QBs under pressure make a big play because the rusher couldn't get him on the ground. Not being able to get a sack is often because there isn't enough pressure from the interior which allows the QB to step up or from the other side which allows him to roll away to from the rusher. With Bosa on the other side and hopefully an improved interior line, we should see more sacks.

Saleh also likes to work in dogs and blitzes so we may well see DBs and LBs getting the sacks created by those pressures.

I swear bro the average football fan is so clueless. I try my best to avoid responding to people that base their opinions on things like PFF grades or stats. As my old college coach said: "football is played on a grass field, not a spreadsheet."

anyways, check out this NASTY cross-chop from Bryce Huff over the right guard. He's so good at getting depth on the cross step and keeping his hands and feet synced up. TBH, he's up there with Yannick and the best cross choppers in the league. This is a dude who has put in a lot of time on the bags and pads. Then there's the speed to power you mentioned on the next rep. Explosive af.

I like to use some analytics to help folks who need some quantitative metrics to get it. Like you said don't rely on that stuff to determine if a guy can play football or not.

Yeah you brought up Yannick with Huff and I thought that was spot on as far as comparisons go.

Can't remember which Pod I was listening to, but there's a next gen stat on quickest get-off at the LOS and Huff was #1 in the league. Thats one of those metrics that matches what you see on film.

Exactly!

Arik Armstead was crucified for years because he wasn't piling up sack numbers despite being one of the high pressure IDL.

Coincidentally Armstead had a breakout year getting to the QB. Which also happened to be a contract year.

I didn't know Huff played in 1924

If this guy works out for us and/or Saleh learns how to use his DL, maybe.... just maybe.. we can have the same SPEED FOUR (passing scheme) that the Giants used against the undefeated Patriots.

Our version would be:

Huff - Mykel - Matos - Bosa

Huff working a double swipe for low punchers. Kocurek emphasizing the swipe through transition to prevent tackles from resetting their hands. I love the art of pass rushing. I can't believe they went from one of the most depressing DLs in the NFL to this group in one offseason. Lynch deserves a lot of credit.

"He's really elite at a certain thing, so we're going to use him that way."

Bryce Huff coming off one edge while Nick Bosa comes off the other edge is going to be a sight to see

It was mostly hated across the board. Thought we overpaid for someone who's never proven he could be a full time pass rusher. Felt like an overreaction to letting reddick go. But I would say we were all collectively shocked at how ineffective he was. Figured at worst we'd have is an overpriced 3rd down specialist. The fit issue isn't something I'd say we considered cause we haven't seen Vic before or his scheme. But it got so bad to the point they trusted a converted safety To DE 3rd round project ( who was supposed to red shirt this year) over him and then in the superbowl he was an inactive. We played a one arm Brandon graham over him. I'd say in the past 20 years he ranks 2nd in worst free agent signings we had only behind asomugha. And you can make an argument that he's worse than asomugha considering asomugha actually could get on to the field at the very least

Interesting. Did he lack effort and motivation or did he just seem incapable? It will be really fascinating to see how this play out.

In any event, we always enjoy hating on the Cowboys and their fans in the gameday threads. Stop by anytime.

That was the strange part. It wasn't effort based. Just seemed incapable. I do think he got into his own head and he couldn't even do what he used to do well. I have no ill will towards the guy. He was nothing but class through our whole sb run. I just think it was a horrid fit and he got into his own head.

He is just a terrible fit for a 3/4 defense. He accepted the contract with the eagles because it was so much money (good for him). It was a risky move for the eagles to sign a guy who played his entire career with his hands in the dirt to be a stand up rushing linebacker in a 3/4, it was a bad choice. He will fit well in Saleh's defense, as he has already shown.
