I'm sorry guys there were plenty of times we had chick in on 3rd down and he was told to just get after the QB .. And he failed to deliver... Maybe if he loses the weight
You write that as if its a failure of Anthony Chickallo. I cannot share that opinion simply because we've had some elite pass rushers here under golden and all of them have the same failures as Chickallo.

Chick
Chick lost 15 pounds an dropping in preparation for the East-West Shrine Game! He played at 285lbs at Miami and the announcers said he weighed in at the East-West game at 271lbs. Chick has always been quicker than he is fast which allows him to get by blocks an up field which is the most important thing for a Dlinemen, that 20 yd split time is crucial in getting TFL's and Sacks.
Not to mention I am sure he was working on his pass rush moves with his dad since the bowl game. Cause we know Jethro was not teaching the hand to hand moves Chickillo used in the game several times to defeat blocks, that even the Announcers mentioned Chick had great hand moves to combat blockers.
An lets not confuse what Chickillo said during those interviews he was very political correct in saying he was playing in **** poor system that miss used his talents but he is a team guy that will accept coaching (read as draft me high an I will not disappoint you). It would be unprofessional for him to throw Golden under the bus publicly at this point, but trust once he gets a fat contract Chick may have a few things to say, albeit in a PC way.
