Rudolph de-cleats Young on chip block

when you consider the DL vs our OL, i expected jones to be running for his life. say what you want but they had a solid game when you consider two starters were missing and 2 guys were signed 2 weeks ago....

overall, not bad. young looks wildly overrated so far this year.

Biggest question marks coming into this year was the OL and the QB. Never thought it'd be the defense that was the biggest disaster.

I thought the OL held up pretty well all things considered. Crossing fingers they stay healthy and can build off last night.

And just lay on Young? He comes back into the frame for a potential hustle play.

I believe if you yourself take a guy to the ground you can fall on him and lay there, but I don't believe you're allowed to just jump on a guy when he's already on the ground?

Young plays light. When lineman get their hands on him he is completely neutralized. You dont often see a DE fly 5 feet in the air when hit by TE, regardless of who it is.

Let me preface this with if I knew then what I know now I'd still want Chase Young on my team and wish the Giants had the 2nd pick in that draft.

But...I have seen him play about a dozen times and you nailed it. He is easily blocked. His skill set right now is that he runs like a fast TE. All the plays he makes are in space. Once any OL or TE gets their hands on him he's done. The Chargers ran the ball down his throat. They went right at him and ran all over him.

The camera loves him, his look and minor league fame have made him a media star but he's not a football star yet. Sort of like a certain RB on the field yesterday.

Monster chips blocks last 2 weeks... IMO this will have effect on opponents DL as season progresses, trying to come around the edge -we will see. Also some very nice pick ups on blitzes last night

but he blindsided him. It's not like he overpowered him straight up.

He just knocked a 270 lb DE two yards into next week. Young flew through the air, he didn't just go down, he flew.

That's the history of this team. We can never be good on both sides. And often years it flip flops. Except during Eli's first 6 or 7 years.

If that's the way you saw it, great. What I saw was a strong shove that used Young's own momentum to unbalance him in the direction he was headed. Great block, regardless.

You are right, I see something completely different. Rudolph is probably just as big as Young.
