Arden Key had a day vs Ole Miss. He said he put on weight. Which is much needed bc he needs it in order to put OT's behind him with his rip move.
He's a relentless animal that is already pretty advanced in terms of rushing the passer.
1) First play of the game is a simple bull rush. He takes 3 steps and explodes into the linemen. He makes his point. Kelly is moved off his spot. Better hand placement will give him better leverage and added weight will help when he extends his arms (hopefully all the way) Allowing put that T on skates, if not throw him back all together.
2)Shows some nice hand strength with a snatch and pull. Again this will be much easier @255lbs. He almost kills Kelly. Should have been an INT.
3) Reads the play well and doesn't bite. Doesn't over pursue. He finishes as well. I'm big on finishing.
4) He's going to cause a lot of these penalties this year and at the next level. He just fakes the T out on a hesitation move and gets the inside lane. If you look around @34's the T's ass/back is facing the sideline and his QB is the middle of the field. Big no-no. As a T you always want to be "mooning" your QB. Front and back end work together and you want to follow your QB with your ass. Causes the T to take down Key with no hope out of position.
5) Greg Little never had a chance here. He's beat out of his stance and off the ball. Key takes one full step before Little gets into half his slide. He's a deer in the headlights, stops he feet to adjust while Key is already turning the hoop. Key hits him with a nice club/swat before he blows by him. Again finishes.
6)Again Little has no chance and really no idea what hes doing. He's afraid of Keys speed, which will cause him to back up and give Key more space. Of course not using his hands hurts even more. Key just does what he does and gets after the QB. Not sure if it was designed or not but Key takes the lane given and pressures Kelly.
7) This was designed but you would think they would go away from him? Anyway the leave Engram and a back to block. Engram does a decent job before Key is able to convert his rip and put Engram behind him pressing the QB into an INT.
8) Just look where he is when the ball is out. He finds it quick and scores a TD. Finish.
9) If he develops a spin move he'll be unstoppable. It's tight. It needs work but its there. Get the icepick down and he'll have a great inside counter. Shows great pursuit and chases down his guy. Something hes going to be doing a lot of at the next level.
