Then your memory is off.
It absolutely showed when Truluck played that he had an elite first step. I would show you on youtube or something, but nobody gives a shit about Truluck because he sucked as a player.
THE POINT IS that a good first step is only icing on the cake. It's nice to have and can provide that extra boost to become a great player IF you do all the other things right as a pass rusher. Truluck was deficient in those areas. He had zero upper body strength, he had no moves, wasn't very fast, he couldn't bull rush, and he was terrible at recognizing the play.
Remind you of anybody currently on the Chiefs?
Truluck was a shitty player and a false hope that a Vermeil defense could have ANYBODY in the front 7 worth a squirrel fart (until Jared Allen came along). And Dee Ford is unfortunately showing the exact same qualities as a player.
