I rewatched the Senior Bowl over the weekend and really focused on some of the names at LB that I've become more familiar with and I'm really liking this kid Larry English. He looks to be a very active pass rusher and strong as hell. Cushing on the otherhand looks way too small and a little slow to react IMO.
As an OLB in a 3-4 I would take Cushings over English in a heartbeat. Cushings is much better against the run and has shown he can cover a little.
English is the better pass rusher, but since neither player is "sudden", they will not be elite NFL pass rushers.
One of the analyst on NFL network said that half of Sintim's sacks came because opposing OT's got confused on the blocking scheme. I thought that was a telltale stat and an extermely cruel stat.
