Guy ran track and lettered in 4 sports in high school. 2014 first team all big 10. They moved him inside in 2015 and his production went down.

why didn't Seattle claim him before us?



He has history with Kocurek. To Seattle he's just another guy on top of the DL heap.

I think he's basically a slightly bigger Cassius Marsh. But man we need depth, happy to have him

Strengths
Non-stop motor and hustle
Decent hands and upper body strength
Good tackler, quick to wrap and drop his weight
Crashes inside as a pass rusher from the 7-9 DE technique well
Disengages from blocks in run defense

Weaknesses
Not a natural pass rusher or creator of pressures
Limited, linear athlete
Poor spatial awareness and recognition
Production came in short burst

From a Browns article last year. He's basically only ever been effective in the W9 scheme.

That's one good thing (won't get pushed around as bad as CM

The other good thing is, if he gets a sack, he won't waste any energy by flying around like a ballerina

I had to watch that a couple of times to realize that was a pretty slick dip, bend or whatever you want to call it. Not bad

Yeah same here, but Street is another fresh body and strong af. Zettel been in the league for years (experienced). Street is barely coming around...we'll need all of them including Taylor and Ford for the playoffs.

Different players too. I think Street will be used more as an interior player where Zettel is now our 3rd best edge player available behind Bosa and AA.

How is signing a back up edge rusher to help give the starters a few plays of rest desperate?
