Patterson jumps out on the film I've watched way more than Neal

Just IMO


Patterson's junior film is awesome, but Neal is something to watch going forward, and different than our usual DE. The thing is that he has the arms/speed of a DE, with leverage/strength of a DT. Tough combo to throw at OT's, because he can get under and around bigger guys, and overpower smaller ones. May be a third down guy, who knows, but I see why people kind of push him back down the excitement hill, but he could be special...the anticipation in to how they develop is the fun part, as well....

Agree w all the others, but I also think LaCoutore could contribute real soon. He's already enrolled and at a position of need

People will cringe at this comparison, but Neal is a bit like Rahim Alem. Alem was good at getting the QB, but that's about it. We should have just used Alem as a 3rd down/obvious pass down guy...which is what Neal should be. A sack or QB hurry is a HUGE plus to have.
