In run defense, he lost outside leverage and got washed out on an eight-yard carry (Q2 01:17), while his edge rushes often carried him too deep, allowing a scramble (Q1 12:03) and getting ridden past the arc (Q4 13:57). His primary positive highlight came at Q2 00:47, when he kicked inside to 3-technique and beat the right guard across his face for an immediate nine-yard sack.
