Key kinda reminds me of Ronald Blair, in the sense that he could rush from outside, but also mix it up & rush inside. Key has been a low risk high reward deal that's delivered, I think he has 4 sacks now, as he got half a sack on Burrow.

I don't know, but here's the thing with Key: the package he's really good from is only used a few snaps a game. It's a niche role and can't pay much for that. He needs to start being as good from edge as he's been inside.

Agree, he has to continue to develop that edge side opposite Bosa. Having said that - he does have 4 sacks this year, which is his highest total so far in his career. I think Bosa and Key, need to rep that tackle end stunt more in practice, because in games -- they are still running into each other on pass rushes.

I see what you mean. Different type of player but very similar role & value to our D-Line. He's been playing solid football the last 2 months. Koucerek really does a great job of coaching these guys up and getting the most out of them.
