To the people saying his role is a run-stopper not a pass-rusher... maybe in base defense. But he's playing inside on passing downs. He's meant to be Michael Bennett, not Red Bryant. It's pretty clear just from his contract that he's expected to be rushing the passer and he hasn't done that well enough so far. 

 

That being said it's only been five games, and it's been five games without theoretically our two top pass-rushers (Marks and Fowler) so he's got plenty of time to get better. And if all he turns out to be is a run-stuffing end for a couple of years then whatever, we literally have too much cap space as it is. The team is better with him than without him.
