I will never write off a player, but to people pointing at the scheme and coaching of these 2 as a possible reason for them not living up to expectations...don't forget the undisputed absolute strength of Manny's entire tenure here...a disruptive as fck pass rusher in every single year until the talent didn't get replaced for 2022. If they were the goods, they wouldn't have taken snaps behind McCloud. Wouldn't surprise me if they blossomed, but as far as a pass rusher under Manny, they can't blame the staff.

I don't get the need for some to write the kid off like he's a failure. Technically none of our defenders excelled in Mannies defense. The entire defensive roster needed upgrading and depth, not because of Chantz, but poor recruiting and development by previous staff. Chantz like every defensive player on the roster will need to show their development under better coaching and scheme.

Chantz alongside LT probably made the most impact plays last year !
 
Would expect most of the transfers to be getting the PT besides LT. Maybe I’m wrong though
 
He did some good things vs bama. Chantz got talent and is athletic as ****. Just gotta keep cultivating it. He was very impactful them first couple of games and then it seemed like his playing time waned
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember his SPARQ score being off the charts coming out of high school. I'm not too sure about his bend around the edge specifically but I would imagine he's a good enough athlete.To me his issue is more of a consistency thing. I remember a good amount of splash plays from him on a d-line that not many stood out. Joe Jackson didn't have the most flexibility either but he carved out a nice career like Chantz can potentially do.

One can take any bamboo skewer and break it easily.

But that same bamboo skewer, bundled with several others - good luck trying to break THEM.

Each adds his strength to the bundle.

And that bundle is tough to break. Real tough.

You read Aesop’s Fables
 
Chantz and Harvey will be rotation guys, most likely in obvious pass rush situations, is what Im guessing

Exactly i hear those excuses for the LBs and DTs but for edge rushers? Nah they got plenty of pass rushing reps, last year mccloud after working at lb for 4 years was our best pass rusher. Even the Tennessee kid had better reps than chantz and harvey, they just didn’t end in sacks but he got some pressures late in the year

Chantz hasn't had that breakout performance we were all expecting. But he was #85 overall recruit in the country in the 2020 class. #7 WDE.

Lest we forget, Harvey was #210 overall and #12 WDE the year before. What can Steele and Salave'a make of these two that Manny and Stroud/Simpson couldn't?

I know he’s super strong so what he needs to be doing more of is things that can make him less stiff and more pliable that will help him be a better edge. He’s got plenty strength just needs more bend

No. I didn't. Never read Aesop's Fables.

But I know people. Physics of tension and torsion. Anticipated lines of approach, deception, misdirection, and tells. I once bagged an enemy with a wrapper from a piece of Juicy Fruit chewing gum. He passed - quickly . . . but somehow I missed reading Aesop's Fables.

Another character flaw I must have . . .

I've said from day one, there's going to be a lot of players that surprise some people, even some that people have written off. Competent coaching will do that for you. Who knows, maybe he'll be one of those guys I'm talking about.

This is where I'm at too. I think Chantz ends up a rotational player but everyone should have a fresh start with this new regime.
 
This is what year 3 for him? This is when I expect the light bulb to go off now that he’s had time to acclimate and spend time in the S&C….

I think he’ll be fine 5-8 sacks… good run defender… he’s had the motor the past two years I just think he needed a bit more time
