Some of you may remember when I made a fool of myself by saying I didn't see what you guys were seing in Tim Settle during the 2018 pre-season when we drafted him ?
I had already said I was wrong and thanked those who helped me understand why, but here's a good occasion to make amend:
Cooley gave him an A-, best grade on the DL, in
this week's Filmbreakdown and I did remember seeing #97 flash from time to time.
So I went back and found some play I thought were really good, if you guys have some more intel on that, I'm all ears ! (well eyes, but...)
1) Beats his guy and makes the tackle with a lineman on his back :
2) Payne makes the tackle after beating a lame ass cut block, but notice how #97 helps by driving his guy and leaving the RB no place to go but #94's big arms ? Again, grabs his ankles with a guy on his back:
3) There #97 anchors down and eats up a double team, Payne does too, both guys doing their jobs allow Bostic and Curl to get in on the tackle:
4) Playing sound gap responsibility, drives the blocker back, bounces the RB outside,
Collins awaits and makes a solid tackle, #97 splits the double block and gets in there too:
5) There he drives his guy so badly the OL has to commit an egregious hold to avoid the TFL, 10 yards for the team:
