The coaches are urging him to continue to drive his legs.

Bryan looks like a guy that's been getting by on sheer strength and very little technique. 

He may take a while to get all coached up, but he's in good hands with Hobby and Campbell. 
When he gets some footwork together and learns some better leverage concepts he'll be scary IMO. 

Just watching the little clips from camp this far, it's clear he has no arsenal of pass rush moves. His footwork looks like a guessing game and I think he's going on pure instinct with his hands and upper body. Hopefully the coaching starts to sink in sooner than later.

This is what I am counting on.

Hobby has proven able to develop guys for the NFL, guys like Vic Beasley, Ngakoue and Fowler.

Calais Campbell, a respected and accomplished vet who is willing to teach, has played inside and outside, and should be able to provide additional insight.

Besides, if all stay healthy, he shouldn't be rushed in or forced to start before he is ready.  He should be in a rotation deep enough to where he is put in positions to play to his strengths early on.  As I saw telling one former board member who won't be named, he has less pressure on him right now than any first round pick in team history.

It's the perfect atmosphere for him to develop.
