Quote:I disagree, he has the counter moves (inside swim, inside spin, and a bull rush)...he just doesn't have the first necessary move (a scary pure outside speed/bend rush) that allow the counters to work. 

 

No one would be scared of Freeney's spin move if he didn't have a terrifying outside speed rush for the spin to counter off of. Until he learns that he's just gonna be a good run stopper that gets the occasional sack from a good scheme or from cleaning up after Malik or whatnot creates pressure somewhere else. 
 

Semantics.  Regardless of the reason why, his counter moves are ineffective.  If he doesn't beat the blocker off the snap, he's glued to them.  I think a lot of the problem is his overall lack of power.  He has great speed to power, but in a box, he can't move a 300 pound tackle.  Once Dante breaks stride, he's done.
