It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I keep thinking of how many years it's taken for some of our favorite LB/Edge guys to thrive in this defense. What was Bruschi initially? Let's have some patience with Uche.
Matt Judon, Donta Hightower, Van Noy.... who do you take out to put a young developing player in?Why only 15 snaps VS Dolphins?

One flashy play does not make a football player. Wasn't that him taking that inside fake while Tua walked into the end zone?
Aw man I was genuinely trying to learn. I know tones weird over the Internet, but ok.Not that hard. We play a ton of man. Cover-1, Cover-0 over the last few years. This means that the backers are tasked with covering TEs, RBs, or even receivers operating out of the slot in man without safety help. Often while disguising pre-snap.
Yeah I don’t think LBs really have to learn the pattern-matching concepts that some of the DBs do, but the assignments are tough nonetheless.Aw man I was genuinely trying to learn. I know tones weird over the Internet, but ok.
makes sense I guess.
That's actually a lot. There's only 50-70 defensive snaps a game usually (didn't look for this one) and more than a third of them are 1st downs. He's a passing down guy, playing on a team with a handful of quality edge rushers.
I think it's because people like Paul Perillo, who has turned into a Curran level troll, are bashing him for some odd reason. I noticed it after the game on the postgame podcast. Dussault was being a little smug as well. Perillo made a comment like "people keep telling me about Uche and we never see him doing anything." (Paraphrasing)Damn people really turning on Uche after one game huh
and your point is?dude...........my post was from last year
No it's not. It's less than 30% of the defensive snaps.
Only Winovich, C Davis, J Williams. and Henry Anderson (whatever happened to him) had less.
His job is pash rusher, in obvious passing downs. I'm not going to do the work, but I'd bet he was in there for half of them.
To ask that he be put into the game in other situations is like asking for Nick Folk to QB. That's not his job right now.
and your point is?
A turnstile is a better run defender than uche!
he needs to rush the passer only. Anything else is out of his wheel house,
What tells you uche could cover anyone?I couldn't believe that the Pats kept having Bentley in coverage. Anytime he gets matched up against a running back in coverage that is a loss for the Pats. I would love to see Uche get those snaps with Van Noy kicking inside, he has much better physical tools to cover in space than Bentley does, so I'd rather give him the snaps and let him grow into the role than ply Bentley who isn't going to improve as much in coverage.
