I really want to see Bowser playing the "Jamie Collins" role. Feel he fits that to the tee. I believe he has the ability, and will get better with his pass rush in time, to play on the inside, outside, and on the line in nickel, just as Collins does. I believe worse case, we got a damn good inside linebacker who can cover better than most linebackers in the league.
I'm not sure he has the instincts and IQ to play inside, I really think his place is outside. But as you said his place can change if we're playing nickel, in 3-3-5 as an outside LB is probably where he'll be most lethal.
Just wanted to add to this (very valid) argument that the only left handed QB in the league is the Cowboys back up.
Actually I believe his instincts are off the charts but I'd rather use him as a joker. He may not be as explosive as Jamie Collins but he is faster and more agile. His closing ability on qbs is very good and he will convert pressures into sacks. He does need to learn how to take on blocks, but I believe he has that ability.
Last year it was BWill. Henry, imo, is very promising and has a boatload of talent. I really hope he takes the next step, because he's a better pass rusher than Jernigan if he does. Wormley can also kick at 3tech on passing downs.
Brandon Williams did move to either the 3T or the 5T when playing alongside of Michael Pierce, but Pierce only played roughly a 1/3rd of the snaps with 375 on the season, and they likely weren't all with Williams. Aside from that, Williams almost exclusively shaded the nose at 0T or could've technically been considered the 1T. But he wasn't our regular 3T on either side. I've rewatched a handful of games from this season to reaffirm this notion.
Sounds interesting. In my eyes, it's both a yes and a no. It wasn't a full-blown switch the likes we saw with Jonathan Hankins shifting over to play mostly at 3T. It likely did contribute some, but he didn't play nearly enough snaps outside of shading the nose for that to be the main factor in the somewhat down season.
Don't care if he isn't a 100 tacles LB. I want him on the edge, and anybody who had the occasion to see him rush should understand. He is freakishky natural at it. He has one move and T couldn't stop it. The nice thing would be for him to get a spin move, since he is a basket guy it should be OK for him and it would give him an inside move that would allow him to stay untouched, which is the best way for him to win the 1on1
That's very true and the article stated when he was playing 3 T his numbers weren't as good...for the most part. It may have been Filmstudy but I'm not sure.
Agree and he definitely needs another move, because he didn't get many sacks when the T got their hands on him. In response to @Sledge Hammer, no one is a lock. I also have a sneaky suspicion that Correa is going to surprise us.
Bowser looks very raw to me off the edge. He has traits to be sure but I don't think he's natural rushing the passer at all.
I think correa is gonna surprise as well. But not on the edge. I didn't see it at first, but after seeing him attempt to edge rush in the NFL I came to a realization that he may not be able to do it, but he's got a LB skill set. He is probably the fastest player in our front seven, he's light on his feet in space, he form tackles very well, he can sniff guys out pretty well on screens and quick passes, and he can man cover some too.
