Flankers: OutSide LineBackers

Here is a positive story about Cunningham that I found. Although I assume everyone will find it useless because it is written by Pro Football Focus. ( I actually respect PFF, but I know most posters on these boards do not. )

So Cunningham generated pressure on 10.66% of the snaps that he played. On the one hand that sounds pretty good. On the other hand that meant over 89% of the time, he DIDN'T generate pressure. Hmm. I think the percentages will go up for him with more polishing of technique and maturation. I also think if you give him more help up front, IE the DL generating pressure of its own that will make the job that much easier for the OLBs. That's why I believe drafting a stud DE up front tops the Pats needs list in the 2011 draft. Luckily there are a handful of defensive ends carrying a 1st round grade that the Pats could be interested in.
