A. Directly forces the QB to flush out of the pocket and throw an incompletion, check down or turnover. 
B. Directly getting his hand on the QB and taking him nearly down.
C. Destroying his blocker after engagement which results in him putting his guy on the ground completely or making him whiff big time.

Simply engaging a blocker and pushing him back like a sled doesn't cut it for me. Unless he throws his blocker into the QB. That would be pretty cool to see. If you can't get to the QB? Do the next best thing and seismic toss your blocker into the QB.

Sorta like this?  

Trying to block Reggie White goes HORRIBLY wrong! #shorts - YouTube

Yep. That's one of my favorite moves. Didn't get to see it as Reggie White was before most of my time but his highlight reels are fantastic. 

Between Reggie White's hump move, Dwight Freeney's spin move and Deacon Jones' head slap those are all fun to watch on old highlight reels. 

It's just unusual to see a guy of Walker's size and strength not incorporating something into his pass rush ability. If he's uncomfortable trying to spin he could maybe try and jam his blocker upwards with his bullrush and then try and post up on him like a basketball defender with his back to him to try and lean back inside or something to drive into the basket. 

Not a full spin move but a half effort. 

He just doesn't do anything. I don't know if anybody's asking him in interviews or Caldwell or the positional coach but it just seems like he's not incorporating much into his game.
