I'm happy for Ego, really am. I dont understand the disparity between these two however.. They had similar production at LSU, how is one a 2nd rounder and one undrafted?
Freak was awful last year and his effort was shite.
Ego played his arse off and would have had a better year if he would have had someone else beside him.
Just the facts. Freak won't make a roster.

Ego played disciplined football. Freak did not.
Freak's specialty when he got here was his quickness and ability to get in the backfield and disrupt. He wasn't really able to do that during his career. Not only that, he got pushed around. I hate to say that about the kid, but he just wasn't productive.
Ego was very sound in his gaps and did not get pushed off the ball. He held his water nearly every play. Freak would get lost in bodies so many times and end up away from the LOS. Hell, earlier in the year when we were getting gashed and our LB's and safeties were over running plays I thought LaCouture did a better job than Freak playing assignments.
Freak was just disappointing. Love the guy, but he was not an impact player. Comparing the two, one's specialty was run stuffing which he became very good at, while the other's was speed and disruption which he did not show enough of.
