I guess I'm just surprised this dude was able to have the success he did at USC an in the pac 12 and isn't able to at least just put pressures on NFL tackles sometimes. But we are super deep at DL so all the guys around him are quality an experienced linemen so It makes sense that they are able to do more at this point.

wish he figured things out more this season but he should be great next year after even more experience

The most success Drake has had so far are those money-down rush packages where they manufacture pressures with games/stunts or move him inside. He needs to start beating tackles in 1-on-1 situations to earn more reps, tho. I have faith that he will in time, but right now, he isn't doing that. Again, I'm not saying he's been bad because he hasn't, but there are too many dudes on this unit that can play.

I'm not too worried about him.
He's shown flashes and contributed... 3 sacks in his rookie year as a rotational player, where we have a deep defensive line.

Hopefully we see a step-up in Year 2.

I think he could be up this week. His athleticism would be good to have against Hurts. I just don't know how you work the numbers.

Would you trust him to rush the passer with discipline?

Don't understand why he was inactive the last two games, especially with the way we rotate our lineman in and out. Feel like he had a good year for rookie. Hope he plays this weekend.

Easy; activate him instead of Kinlaw. I'd even put him in at DT over Kinlaw; couldn't possibly be worse
