Didn’t the Redskins play Brian Orakpo at strong side LB for a year or two early in his career? Still got a bunch of sacks, so maybe Chenal can follow a similar trajectory.

But he's WAY more athletic than, say, Niemann was. And reportedly extremely smart, was the MLB in college and called the plays. So he's like if Niemann took the Captain America Serum.

and yeah, he had 8 sacks, so he's got pass rush ability too; and I could well see them blitzing him a lot, or even rotational EDGE on passing downs. He's going to play a lot.
A lot of his sacks seem to be pursuit sacks from short zone coverage. The rest seem to be interior blitzes.

He didn’t really show the edge technique that some are presuming he has based on his sack numbers.

Look at him as a supercharged Niemann and you’re on the right track. At least for now.

In time I think he’ll develop more edge technique and get more comfortable in coverage.

The tools or there but the reps in those situations really haven’t been.

this pick is getting more and more exciting as time passes

Bright side of this: if he was consistently rushing from the edge successfully, there’s no chance the Chiefs could’ve drafted him where they did.

Out with the old and in with the new. People will like this 49 better.

Karlaftis took Niemann’s.
Chenal took Sorensen’s.

LMAO

The purge is complete!

I can't wait to see some scrub wear #10.

Dante84 05-01-2022 12:19 PM
YES. I LOVE 49 FOR THIS DUDE.

It's the enforcer number for us. Thanks for your service, Dirty Dan. It's time to upgrade with Death Row.

Sad, I was hoping they would retire the #49

I think he could be a better edge rusher than Karlaftis, given the opportunity and coaching.

I really, really want to be wrong about Karlaftis, but I just don't like him. Not him personally, but his transition to the NFL in this defense.

I know that I am not the only one who isn't a fan of the pick, but I will be happy to be wrong.

Spags just got a ton of his preferred type of guys. There are no more excuses for his performance.
