I said it earlier, maybe in this thread, but he doesn't have any technique to speak of at Edge.
I mean if you widened your splits WAY out and sent him out there as a 9-technique guided missile, it might work. But probably only against stupid/inexperienced QBs. The Wide 9 went out of fashion in a hurry because it was just too easy to step up and defeat. Maybe you can steal one here and there, but not with regularity.
He's a guy who's gotten his sacks through inside blitzes (really gets through those seams nicely) and pursuit sacks.
He's not Micah Parsons. He's not a guy that's going to outrun a vertical set and bend the edge. It's not to say he can't someday develop into a nice pass-rush option in certain situations, but he's not a bendy dude that can make that lean and get under the OT.
He thrives in chaos and trying to hem him into that Edge role even in specific situations won't help him or us, IMO.
