This guy doesn't really key on what JJ is doing with those bull rushes with the feet, his hand work is really important but he's constantly using it to set up the tackle to widen with the outside leg and he is constantly breaking down their base. Their balance is fucked. His hesitation is elite.
The trade was with Tennessee. They gave the Jets their 1st round pick (#26) and their 3rd round pick (#101) for the Jets' 2nd round pick (#35), 3rd (#69), and 5th round pick (#163).
He’s got an incredible first step and a good rip move but he needs some coaching and it’s frustrating that it feels like he hasn’t gotten it. He needs a move off that outside rip move like an inside rush where he sets the tackle up outside and bursts inside. He also needs to figure out some sort of way to draw holding calls. I don’t know exactly how to do that, but the guy gets held a fuckton and never gets the call.
Man those first 4 picks in that draft--no matter what, one could never say JD actually fucked everything up--don't know if anyone has ever hit a draft like that--basically 4 probowlers and possible 4 all-pros.
And 3 other players on the roster that are contributing: Ruckert, Max Mitchell and Michael Clemons. It truly was an historical draft by JD.
This team is strong across the board thanks to him. His biggest negatives are selecting Saleh, big miss on Wilson and having to follow direction from the Johnsons.
I saw a piece done on him and he had his brother with him. They were on some kind of medium sized fishing boat and it aired around the super bowl, I think. I digress... Essentially, after the interview, I felt like that guy could absolutely rip your head off and smile while doing it. But not in a creepy way...more like a John Wick kind of way. He was all bad ass business but you felt like it was to honor his family or something. That dude is going to be as good as he wants to be.
