Red Bryant

but has shown flashes of incredible dominance. For instance, dramatically overpowering a triple-team to force an INT in the red zone in about 3 seconds.

Honestly, he’s kind of a hard fit for most traditional roles. He’s got so much quickness for his size. But as a three-technique, he’d have the disadvantage of being so tall, higher center of gravity, and how well can he hold up, over a game, over a season, over a career, moving all that weight around to chase QBs, something that demands a little more exertion in some regards.

Then as a one-tech, a large portion of what makes his talent-set so special could be underutilized. He doesn’t so much have great trunk strength, to hold the point, like a one-tech, as he has great power in movement, to bull rush and shed blockers and collapse pockets. And again the height thing. But he could work well as a one-tech. It’s probably a better fit than nose tackle. Maybe the answer is to set up a half yard more off the ball.

And I don’t know why it’s showing up in flashes and not with more consistency. I don’t know about technique, except that he’s just raw in some ways, he was a bit more of a project as a prospect than pro ready. Maybe his awareness is a little poor. Maybe he focuses on the battle with the blocker too much. Maybe it’s just something that comes along with veteran savvy and he’ll become a great player in time.
