I remember how Sedrick Ellis dominated during Senior Bowl week over here a few years back. He was one of the most talked about players that week. While he hasn't been a bust like Jonathon Sullivan, it just seems like he has turned it off since 2010.

I think Cam Jordan has done pretty well so far this year though. At least he got a damn sack yesterday. And as far as stopping the run, he has done the best job so far from the guys up front.

You gotta wonder with the new CBA rules how much that effects guys like Hicks. I mean how can he get the coaches attention with fewer padded practices? It was nice to see him get some playing time though.

He ended up with the highest grade on the team in pass rushing according to PFF's metrics. He needs to see more snaps next game (had 20 last game). Of those 20 snaps, only 6 were passes and he managed to get a hurry and a hit on Newton. I don't think anyone could have predicted that he would be this good, this soon.
