I was listening to a bunch of pods on the way back from New Orleans today and one of them mentioned Penning had a pressure rate of 19% last year. This year it’s 7%. Fuaga’s is 8%.
Not sure about that - certainly Anzalone, Bauhn, Onyamatta, Ellis come to mind. But then there is the string of DE that have been duds. There is a big difference between listening to DA talk about the young players on the team and Dan Campbell. DA said just a short while ago the team had no "great young players." It does a lot to your confidence to have a coach who is excited to have you around and has a plan to use you rather than harping on mistakes or trying to have you play differently than what got you to the NFL in the first place. When Campbell landed Gibbs he was dancing around the draft room doing fist pumps. When Breese was picked by DA & Loomis they chewed a pack of gum.
