How do you know he is the 2nd best rusher when he hasnt even taken a snap?

B/c Drake is currently the only other edge rusher on the roster. So by default a guy who hasn't played is currently our 2nd best edge rusher.

I'd put Ferrell over Beal at this point only because Beal hasn't played a snap. Right? He didn't play in the preseason?

Just re read what i bolded. That's how bad of shape we are in at DE w/o Bosa. To me CF is not an edge rusher. He's averaging a whooping 2.5 sacks a year. We just need him to set the edge and help with stunts. So that's why I'm rolling with a guy we haven't seen do s**t as our 2nd best pass rusher. It's pretty sad. Hopefully we will be blessed with a signature from Mr. Bosa this evening.

I get what you are saying but don't go look at Mr Beal's college stats or you'll see he only averaged 2.5 sacks per year himself... in college!!!
Welp dude is now on IR. Guess that moves Hyder up as our 2nd best edge rusher

Hyder is so underrated, the dude is just a workhorse. He rarely gets pushed around out there, is as rock solid as it gets. We were so thin inside last year he had to play out of position.

Based on what I saw from Ferrell and Jackson this preseason too, I really like our rotation behind Bosa this year.

I don't see Ferrell as a passrusher at all. I know he had some pressures/sacks in the preseason, but he's by far our the worst rusher out of our recent DE's which include Jackson, Ebukam, Omenihu, Willis, Hyder
I hope they open the practice window for him this week.

I think it's going to be next week, as I think he'll be able to come off IR *this week.* I probably am wrong though. I love this guy's potential, and I hope he's healthy enough to get on the 53 and contribute this year. We need some edge rusher depth for sure.

once they open that practice window, the three week time clock starts
Interesting he's been activated, they could have stashed him on IR so they must think he offers something pretty good to the team to bring him to the 53.

He was one of the draft picks I was most excited about! We'll see

His speed was what they liked and one of the main reasons they drafted him. I'd love to see him get snaps to see if it helps against Hurts.

Agree with both. He was the one player I really wanted to see in preseason, and I'm really excited for his potential. The fifth round is the money down for ShanaLYnch, I hope we struck hall of fame gold with Beal. Having said that, at minimum I hope he can help improve special teams and maybe sack both Hurts and Lamar if/when he plays.
