If you push off with your right leg...what leg you gonna land on? And if you weigh 300+ lbs, how important do you think it will be that said leg be able to absorb that energy, kick that leg back out and then absorb it again?
And again, as previously noted, if you have a guy who's burst off his right leg is notably more explosive than his left, teams WILL take advantage of that by simply setting up wide and beating him across his face. Or doing a simple push/pull to get him off balance and then when he tries to reset, explode through his chest.
So when your kick slide is hard off your right leg to push you out wide and then the DE comes inside, what leg is going to have to drive you back to the right?
No, it doesn't make sense.
If his left leg is compromised he's just as ****ed as if his right leg was.
