Seriously appreciate the work in putting together a serious football thread...particularly focusing on the pass rush.
My opinion is no secret - Mathis is not the fast twitch, explosive pass rusher that Feeney and Middleton were. Whooching is...well...poop.
At the same time, it's clear that Kwiatkowski wanted to have his edge players contain, rather than crash. The problem is that they didn't contain well. Dawkins ass-raped our defense.
With stanford's QB being far less mobile, I fully expect that Mathis and Whooching will be asked to bring heat...whether they're able is another issue.
