Neither had great length but were effective and sometimes dominant because of their relentless motor, superior leverage, and violent hands.
Right now I don’t think Holland or Hollins have shown more as a pass rusher than he has. They have some tools but no go to move that can put fear into an OT. Reed is a threat to run by them every play he’s in. Reed will be fine if he’s asked to contribute on special teams and with Hollins mixing in at ILB it gives us some roster flexibility at the position. Although I was very impressed with Watson last time he was here and he’s made his career off of special teams.
There’s going to be some tough roster decisions to be made on the final cut day. There’s some quality depth on the defense and at RB.
