Sorensen would flat out hurt people if he hit him. He also had a knack for clutch plays. Sadly though his mistakes far outweighed his positives. [Reply]

Absolutely. I’d love to move him around on the D. With that said, I think pass coverage can be worked on with him. It’s just something he didn’t do a ton of at Wisconsin. He’s a downhill run stuffer. [Reply]

Last offseason I bit on that one hook, line, and sinker.
He still moves out to the outside like 1/3 of the time on passing plays. [Reply]

There's so much potential with this kid as a blitzer out of nickel and dime.
Precisely. They played Damien Wilson 64% and 61% of the defensive snaps the two years he was here. I can't fathom Chenal getting less than that.
The nice thing is they can be pretty rotational with all 3 of Chenal, Gay, and Bolton in 2 LB sets. If Bolton needs a breather, Chenal can play MLB and Gay can play either SLB or WLB. [Reply]

I think that's exactly what we're looking at.
So let's say that he plays 60% of the snaps and during all run situations and most 'even' situations.
I mean you gotta figure that means he'll be in on probably 40% of the pass attempts we see? So 15ish passing snaps/gm?
Gotta get his coverage ability to passable to do that. You can't blitz him every damn time. [Reply]

Out of necessity.
If you have a guy that can get the kind of interior pass rush pressure he gets, you're FAR better served keeping him inside on passing downs.
But unfortunately Frank Clark Fucking Sucks and Ingram has a hell of a motor but can still be swallowed up a bit in pure pass rush situations where the OT can just race him to the spot and use length to neutralize him. [Reply]
Doing some digging on just how big Chenal's role might be and my ****ing god look at Niemann's and Hitchens snap counts. Gay and Bolton are about to have their workload increased significantly along with Chanel probably getting a significant amount of snaps. This defense is going to look so different compared to last season.

A PLACE AT THE TABLE
I hope he takes Tom Brady out of the game when we play Bucks.
I hope he knocks Josh Allen into the stands (legal hit knocking him out of bounds) but he gets rocked and doesn't pass concussion protocol rest of the game
I'd like him make a career of taking out quarterbacks with legal hits but fines against Russell Willson and Eyeliner Carr. [Reply]
