Has he even played this year? 0 sacks.
We seem to have him not in a 3 point rushing stance but a "catch and shed" stance this year.

Any way to undo the “coaching” he has received in the last year?

Any way to undo the “coaching” he has received in the last year?

I do find it interesting that our young defensive stars from last year are very quiet this year after getting some new coaches. I was expecting a big year from 2 in particular and it has been fairly mundane. Makes me wonder about the coaching additions from the off season.
