DE Sahir West enters the Portal

[lindend]

How did he do vs Oregon?

can't find any tape.

 

[dycane]

Looks like Indiana and USF were his best offers out of high school.

 

[KANE]

Way higher upside inside he’s not as twitchy as Mesidor and Bain. More of 3-4 end type than 4-3 end

Ok, so he’s more of an inside (3Tech) guy in a 4 man front.

Nothing wrong with that he’s a pro 3 tech with his length

I agree. Nothing wrong with that. You gotta have inside guys also, to win.

He wasn’t a factor.

I watched the Louisville game (it one of the few full game tapes you can find on YT). I didn't see anything that jumps out.

JMU uses him as a SDE most of the time, and lines him up at edge on 3rd and longs. I didn't see him play inside at all. Hes really raw and needs to learn how to use his hands. UL did seem to run away from his side alot tho.

 

[Bender]

Yep, twitch and bend isn’t there which is fine . He’s a perfect 3 tech here

All he needs is a bull rush. If he has that, we're good to go.

Blount will be used the EXACT same way next year as he is this year, except more at Edge. He's not going to be primarily playing DT imo.

The natural progression is Blount takes Bains role and Lightfoot takes his/Mesidors role. And then Obviously Lowe and Scroggins will get worked in and Blount will move inside often.

We will only need a high floor DT3 type to bring in IF Moten returns. That would be MAJOR. I'd expect Justin Scott to take a major leap (more like sustain or improve the level he is currently at for an entire season). Simpson will be a rotational piece. And then You hope...

A 230 pound situational guy replacing a 270 pounder at edge ? God have mercy on our run defense

Yep, he’s a redshirt freshman who dealt with a season ending injury last season.

He’s a good prospect, but idk if he’s a the prospect ppl r making him out to be.

That's what a lot of ppl don't get, a SDE is essentially a 3 tech with more speed.

Isn’t this guy a Marquis Lightfoot clone?

If Lightfoot got on the ultimate warriors workout / nutrition plan for two years

I met him and immediately thought he looked like a basketball player. Dude is tough as nails and athletic as ****, but I don’t see how he can add that much more weight in the next year.

And he can gain weight. He is absolutely in line for an increase in snaps. And there will be MUCH MORE rotation next yr among our players rather than Bain and Mesidor both playing like 80 snaps per game and never coming out

Having NFL sized DEs in Bain and Mesidor was a big help stopping the run without having to dedicate an extra guy to the box, especially with how teams spread defenses out now.
