MEEEAT STIIICKS!!!
Wish we still had Dupree but hopefully Dongsmith is a late bloomer like Dupree was.
Man after watching him tonight ... he really has nothing.
That TD on the read option is on Dongsmith. As the end that goes unblocked, he has to contain the outside and make sure the football is handed off before he chases down the line.
maybe Ingram has a point?Originally Posted by EzraTank
As El-G stated: Highsmith didn’t set the edge on the TD. Highsmith had a bad play.
But, besides that, do you really want Dupree instead? Really? I mean… really??? Dupree has looked awful with the Titans.
Regardless, Highsmith has been excellent. One of Watt’s sacks was a result of Highsmith coming around the corner and Fields running right into Watt. (I’m not saying Watt needed help, but it did indeed help.) More importantly, Highsmith is exceptional at stuffing the run.
Dupree had one, maybe two good seasons…the rest of the time people wanted him cut, traded, whatever. He’s doing little to nothing in Tennessee…I’ll take my chances with a more affordable Highsmith and hope he develops.

Highsmith is. People want sacks, but if you watch what Highsmith closely, he collapses the pocket on almost every play. Aside from getting too eager on one play, he kept everything syphoned to the middle (something Dupree struggled to do).
Highsmith is a solid football player with good pass rush skills and has gotten stronger to be a good run defender. I like him and he is a good OLB to have on a rookie contract.
Again, I liked the skillset of Qunicy Roche and it was unfortunate that they cut him and the Giants have a nice young developing pass rusher.

Exactly, for the most part he sets the edge (hopefully he learned last night that when he doesn’t do that they other team gets big runs) and funnels runners to Heyward for no gain. All I want for Christmas is a full strength Tuitt back, Heyward is going to wear down late this season if our DL rotation doesn’t improve.
Yeah, what Highsmith needs to do is "feather" or "surf" on the outside until he knows where the football is. He just dove down the back of the line and chased the Wildcat QB who didnt have the ball on that. Below is an example of how to play it. Again, I am fine with him being Robin to TJ's Batman.
Robin eventually becomes Nightwing!!!
