He has no rush plan and displays no rush moves. Never shows a push-pull, a cross chop, a dip and rip, a swim, a spin, nothing, he just runs into the OT and tries to push him back into the QB like Zach Allen did. And forget countermoves, he doesn't even have moves in the first place. And I know sack production isn't everything, but his 5 pressures didn't impress me much more than his 2 sacks, and you can fuck off with any PFF garbage stat that says he was better than that. I don't trust their subjective bullshit as far as I could throw Quenton Nelson.



Why did you type this out as a response to me when you're agreeing with my point? I must really live in your head rent free.



You sure Ballard loves his tape? I understand loving the traits, but not so much the tape. Also, please show me where and when he "pressured the hell out of QBs" without using PFF garbage numbers. 2 sacks and 5 pressures is not "pressured the hell out of QBs".

Here ya go

Oweh didn't record any sacks last yr. But you say he's better

Oweh flashed his talent as a redshirt freshman in 2019, accumulating five sacks and two forced fumbles in 13 games (one start) for the Nittany Lions. He did not record a sack in seven starts as a redshirt sophomore, but Big Ten coaches still voted him first-team all-conference after he recorded 38 tackles (6.5 for loss). -- by Chad Reuter

Paye.

Paye was named a team captain for the 2020 season and earned honorable mention all-conference honors after starting four games (16 tackles, four for loss, with two sacks).
