Al Woods

Yeah, right now the players with great speed and quickness get to shine. So your fast DEs, and all the skill positions all showcase what they got.

When there's live contact, then you can really see what the big uglies got.

FWIW, I'll add something to this discussion. First and 2nd year DTs don't TYPICALLY set the world on fire. They usually take those 1st two seasons to get their techniques down and increase their base strength. Yeah, yeah, I know there are exceptions, but they're not the rule.

My point is that I don't expect much from Woods this year or next, but that I do expect Ellis and Pressley to have "breakout" seasons this fall, or they may not ever be able to do it. JMO.
