Steve your right..he is smaller then most. But, like you said he has speed. Low center of gravity and will be able to get lower easier than a bigger OL-man to get the advantage, plus he is strong. Strong for his size, potential is there and the coaching from other DL men to learn from. Along with Williams coaching him. The sky is the limit!
I hope your right, but just because someone has the same measurable stats, doesn’t mean will have the intangibles. I hope so, but I wouldn’t compare a rookie to a HOF’r.
Leverage in contact sports is so underrated... There's a great line in Hard Knocks when Shep is telling Rodrigo "you got that natural leverage" because of his height. Aaron Donald was successful because he was naturally up underneath O linemen's pads with superhuman strength. It takes abnormally crazy power and speed for it to work which Mekhi only had 25 bench reps compared to 35 from Donald but he wore 18 at LSU and has Terrell Willams, the odds are pretty good he will be successful if/when he develops more strength.
You already know I love this video lol He is not Aaron Donald but year 2 he is definitely a replacement for Big Mac! I don't think he is a HOF player but he definitely has Pro Bowl potential. If you watch his hand placement and strength then you know he is a NFL DT. In college he was routinely double-teamed! With the defensive line we have he will never see a double team. Year one he will be a rotational pass rusher inside but year two he will probably be our starter. I think his lack of size is actually his super power lol He has been the same size since he was under rated in college and had to fight his way to a top tier program! He will do the same thing in the pros! Fight to be the best he can be every game!
He’s not replacing Alim. Hes a rotational piece. Thats what you need in a 43. Guys who can rotate in, give a different skill set, and who dont cost a high draft pick to get. Even Matt Patricia understood this. You mix up your looks along the DL so much, unless you’re dealing with Aaron Donald, it’s better to get several guys to fill multiple roles than it is spend heavily on one who does a couple things. DT has the lowest positional replacement value in the league on defense. Wingo is a great pick up for the cost.
And one more thing Steve, Donald was a smaller DL. But, he made all his disadvantages into advantages against bigger OL. And that is exactly what Wingo can do, If he learns it and has heart.❤
😂omg n oh my lord. Im a DIE HARRRD LIONS FAN. BUT CAN WE CHILL WITH A ROOKIES PIC NEXT TO THE BEST MODERN DAY DT EVER. CAN THIS KID PLAY PRESEASON. not ever under sized dt neess ro be compaired to HOFers.
@@brandenspica8641 he can say one thing and still compare him. "ohhh hes only 1 inch shorter here and there" "guess who was also called undersized wink wink" like are you dumb? this is the second lions channel I have seen doing this crap. its lazy, click baiting and moronic.
