There have been several reports in the last season or two, most notably the PFT one (I believe it was PFT anyway) that had him ranked among the more
efficient pass rushers in the league, he simply wasn't sent on the blitz that often. His technique isn't great, but in a 2 gap system he can let the front 3 lockup the blockers and rely on his athleticism; he'd be a more effective rusher here than he was in SF by a lot, IMO.
Having a guy like that across from Hali - someone that
could blitz effectively and will thus require the defense's attention but who is also very effective in space - would've been a fantastic addition to the entire defense. It would've made everyone more effective in their respective roles.
His was a bad miss.
