Brother, you know we cool...but you gotta learn to read.
If you saw those posts thinking it was a bunch of negatives because I don't think he's an EDGE player, breh, idk what to tell you. I'm just telling you why I don't think he's an EDGE pass rush prospect like basically everyone else thinks he is, and that he is more of a 34 end (which there is a lack of analysis on him there). The analysis I see on Greg Rousseau on the internet blows my mind (from most everyone, not just here). My eyes must be seeing a different player out there. I actually like Greg Rousseau as a prospect...just...not as an EDGE pass rusher. I think you need to project way too much...he's not incapable...but I think the leap to him being a pass rush EDGE specialist is a big leap. I think the gap is much closer to him being a DeForest Buckner type of 34 interior defensive lineman than it is a pass rusher from the outside like he's Julius Peppers. His skill set...that I outlined with posted video (you know I'm not talking out of my ***)...just screams like more of a mismatch inside than he is a mismatch outside. The production and tape tell me thats so. I highlighted how his motor is an ASSET inside and how well he's worked through trash and how his long arms are a benefit inside. But his motor is far too often negated from the outside, especially when OT get their hands on him.
D$ compared him to Calais Campbell...even coming into the league, I thought Calais Campbell was more advanced as a football player. Hand use, coming in with a plan of attack, etc. Calais was just lazy in his last year at Miami, basically took everything off after the Oklahoma game in his last year (Phil Loadholt beat him up quite a bit) and - unlike Greg Rousseau - notoriously gave no fvcks about putting in work in the gym. I don't see the same player. But I guess if you project Greg Rousseau way far out and say he can BE that, but I think that's a long bridge to get there.
Like I said, can you go into any of those highlight clips I posted and find ONE play from the EDGE where he's making a first round play on an ACC level RIGHT TACKLE? I did not see one. Had a cool sack against a TE, sure. But everything else was him inside beating interior OL. I'd ask for you to make a gif, but I'd ask for just a time stamp at this point.

and ya, bruh...yall constantly surprised when Miami players are not drafted as high as you think.
and when I mean yall, that means you, too.
When I have time later in the week, I want to go into a few more games from 2019 to see if I keep seeing the same ****.
