I think most DE's just figure out a way around it, all good DLinemen get chipped. Guy is still developing and it's technically is 2nd season playing so he just needs some time to figure it out. Maybe he should check out some video's on how Khalil Mack overcomes it with some extreme brutality.
Mack doesn't overcome it when the QB gets the ball out under 2.5 seconds.
I'm more concerned with the chips that keep knocking him off his feet that have been an issue since his rookie year. He was chipped on the goal line sunday by a WR and knocked him on his rear and completely took him out of the play. Not the first time that's happened.
I want to see him figure it out, maybe a speed rush like TJ Watt uses to get around the chip or power his way through like Mack does literally charging and tossing the player attempting to chip him into the turf before they get a chance to hit him like a Trent Williams escort into the endzone while initializing their pass rush on the QB.
I'm starting to think you're just talking out of emotion and not rationale.
If Bosa spends more time about worrying about chip blocks, he's going to be late to the QB. In a game where the QB and playcalling is asking for the ball to be out very quickly this is a lose lose situation. Either he watches out for the chip and is a step late or he's risking getting planted.
And when was this in the game? Surely you're not talking about the player where Lazard holds him as he comes inside?
