I think they'll be very patient with him and use him as an interior situational pass rusher his first year and be on the field about 30% of the defensive snaps. I think that would be a realistic percentage. By all accounts (including yours
) he is exceedingly raw and its not entirely a sure thing that he will buy into the intense culture here. He needs to work on his techniques and become more of a professional than just a physical talent. His value to the run defense is probably a couple of years down the road. The thought of him and Cowart attacking the middle of the OL and pushing the pocket is exciting.
Like someone said earlier, we have a ton of run stoppers already. (oh that was you
) We needed a dynamic presence in the interior of our pass rush. Now we have the talent we need. It will be several months before we find out if we have the player.
