Yeah no kidding he comes out on pass downs 🤦‍♂️

Where did this poor in pass coverage come from lol

How many DTs do you know that can push the pocket getting blocked by G+C?

lmfao um yeah you think

That was 2019 dj won in 2020

YEP this

The guy you quoted and seemed to agree with said he was doubled like three times the whole game. That's mostly what I was responding to. And the bolded is wrong. When Lotulelei got injured they tried Kyle Peko iirc and he just got obliterated. They tried a few different guys at 1tech this season and what happened was they couldn't win 1v1 or anchor vs a double team and the extra olineman just went downfield and picked up Edmunds. There aren't a lot of guys willing or able to do what Lotulelei does but I am tired of arguing that.

This is with over 12 minutes left in the second quarter.

Same

Who knows if he’ll still be any good after a year off...I have no idea. But the idea that he’s bad and always has been is laughably wrong.

I can’t because it’s a bad argument. In order of importance it was probably Kuechly Norman Davis Lotulelei. I watched that team a ton. My brother is a big Panthers fan. Lotulelei’s been an integral part of top defenses his whole career.

😂😂Big play Bene? Tre Boston? Kona Ealy? Watch a lot of Carolina circa 2015? Because I did and if you think Short was the better of the two you probably think Jordan Phillips was our best DT in 2019.

TD to Diggs rolling left vs Pats was one of the best throws I have ever seen

That's ok. A lot of fans misunderstand a lot of positions in McDermott's defense. Some people look at Edmunds' lack of TFL and think he should be playing DE. Just like how some people would call Alexander a part timer without understanding the toll playing everything from 0tech to WLB along the front 7 takes on your body. If your take is that restructuring aging vet deals is somehow more indicative of the quality of their play as opposed to that of the front office, can't help you.

He has been a big part of the 2nd, 10th, 6th, 21st, 7th, 2nd, and 3rd best defenses throughout his career respectively. Pretty big coincidence for an average at best player.

Yes, Lotulelei is a 1tech and the rest of our DTs have been in the 3techs primarily. He lines up tilted a bunch to occupy the C/G double. He can anchor whereas Jordan Phillips when he was here or Harrison Phillips currently get moved pretty easily. Lotulelei isn't asked to get upfield much because that's not really his role- they like him to take the double without losing ground and keep LBs clean. When he gets a 1v1 he can and does win. He doesn't look like your average fireplug which is why I think people misunderstand his role a lot but he has great upper and lower body strength and his length allows him to get inside blocks. He's a good player in an underappreciated role.

Their statistics and methods of evaluation can be safely dismissed imo

I mean you can click on literally the first defensive snap of the 2019 season in this link and it shows Lotulelei taking a double lol @00:43, he get doubled on more than 50% of his snaps

'Arm arrogance' iirc was coined by Ryan Clark on ESPN, a reformed Allen doubter. PFF and their ilk will eventually come around.

Does Warren Sharp really think an NFL coach needs to be diagramming vanilla cover1 lol

Jarvis Landry baker mayfield Kareem hunt Myles Garrett

.79 grams in a plastic baggie what is this high school pass

I seem to remember someone saying past performance is the best indicator of future performance. In this very thread, even.

It was a 47 yard field goal. They go in maybe 60% of the time...missing one isn’t that bad a play.

I still think about Bryce Brown fumbling out of the endzone for some reason
