Watching him on All 22 is infuriating lol. He would be completely dominating if he got holding calls like other guys do. I’m aware he’s a rookie and refs will make more calls as he gets more notoriety, but holy hell this kid is getting mugged every snap and I don’t think he’s gotten a single call. Damn near every pass rush snap he’s had is either a hold or a successful rush. He’s incredible, his swim move might be the best I’ve ever seen and I’ve been a DL tape nerd for a long time because I played/coach the position. He’s going to be a perennial All pro and DPOY candidate, call me crazy if you want but his tape is ridiculous for a rookie and all the great OL he’s gone against are gushing over him post game which you don’t see very often.
I will say, he needs to improve against the run but that’s kind of normal for a rookie DT. As far as pass rushing goes, I’m gonna say it, he has Aaron Donald potential
I swear I have read this exact post except it was about Parsons from a cowboys fan lol
Idk seems to me trench players just hold and get held a lot and whether or not it is called is inconsistent, if I’m being kind. I think it is just very hard to officiate and they don’t want to call everything that even kinda looks like holding.
The best players find a way to overcome it, I’m sure Jalen will too
