I guess I'm in the minority...
I want to like Nink. I do. When I go back and rewatch the games, I keep an eye on him, too. Cause it's clear he has a high motor. But man, there really are times where he gets flat out pushed around out there. Like physically pushed off the LOS. Can't hold his ground, let alone collapse the pocket or set the edge.
It's peaks and valleys with Nink. There are certain plays where he gets going and looks great. But I really suspect that he simply can't that extreme pace for an entire game due to his lack of size. I think he's be a fantastic role player with limited snaps; like the kind this D really needs.
You cannot find a 34 OLB who does not get pushed around by 300-350 lb OTs.
Like any other position, its not a case of finding a player who wins 100% of his one on ones, but one who wins more than most players at his position, understand the position, and executes a play when one is to be made.
