That's more Patriots stuff then what we are probably looking for.

I don't agree that he can't do damage as a pure 4-3 DE.
He's not a speed rusher, but again - this is your strong-side DE. You NEED a guy who can hold the point of attack over there. And if you have that guy, his first move will rarely be to try to beat the RT out wide, so he'll need to be able to win with power and technique.
Epenesa excels in exactly that. Very good hands and seems to always have a plan.
He's not a slug out there at all. He's just not a first step guy. |
