Quote:I agree, he just doesn't have the bend to consistently win around the edge, so tackles can cheat on him so to speak knowing he can only beat them with inside moves. You really need a creative D-coordinator to maximize Fowler's gifts, his gift is athletic-versatility. He's a guy that needs to stand-up, drop in coverage, rush inside, rush outside etc..., he's a guy that offenses need to be able to "identify' on every snap, because he has the athleticism and violence to wreak havoc if used correctly.

I'm not sure I want someone with Fowler's lack of agility dropping in coverage more than like once or twice a game (if that), but the rest is pretty much exactly what I've been saying since pre draft. By far his biggest impact has come on the stunts, and they only did it once last week (and he got a pressure). You obviously can't stunt him every play, but they should definitely be doing it more as well as having him just straight up A gap blitz and junk.
