i wouldnt call him a bum. hes already the 2nd best pass rusher on the bears now
21.5 sacks in 49 games is apparently "bum" quality
Mmm. I can get into why Booker is already the 2nd best pass rusher on the team. Dude is legit, and far more skilled than he is currently getting credit for.
Before injury, Wanya Morris was projected to be the Chiefs starting LT.
Look at how Booker attacks Wanya’s left shoulder and right arm, in this bullrush at 2:10
He used the same technique to blow up Dion Dawkins on the bullrush, in the Bills game.
You can’t see it clearly, but you can see Morris’ right arm get lifted, as he gets put on his heels.
That is as advanced a hand fighting technique for an End on a bullrush, as it gets. Done right, it completely nullifies a tackle’s length advantage, and leaves him with only one hand to try and establish his block.
And Booker has others. Dude has a full arsenal of pass rushing moves. Even his spin, is fundamentally perfect, from a technique and footwork perspective. And it’s smooth.
I’ve been watching closeups of his snaps very closely in these preseason games. The skills, explosiveness, and motor, jump off the screen.
He’s legit. Not “raw” or “rough” in the slightest.
