Welcome Chris Braswell

[BucsNBills]

Nah, Reddick will be injury ridden all season but will make up for it by also playing like shit when he's on the field.

Diaby will regress and prove he's just a JAG.

Braswell is already a bust and will barely see the field. He will however severely injure Vita Vea by playing recklessly and out of position.

Walker will be cut due to off the field issues.

Elijah Roberts will be so bad that he doesn't make the final cut.

Everyone else looking forward to the season now?? I know I am. Should be a blast!

[Snake]

Probably half of that will be approximately true. And that’s OK.

[__Chef__]

Half? If 2 of those are true I'm cursing both of you next season.

[Bootz]

More than half and it would still be okay.

[Barnzy]

I hope to see improvement but I am skeptical of him becoming more than a rotation depth piece. Braswell didn't test at the combine for agilities because it's not a strength. There's just not much bend. He's your typical Jason Licht/Bowles edge pick of power, decent athlete and character. He also needs to improve his hand technique but if you can't bend and win the corner and then dip to the QB consistently that makes you a linear edge player and makes the tackles life so much easier.

The room is full of these linear edge players. We will be pinning our hopes on 30 year old Reddick to return to form because he is the opposite of a Licht/Bowles edge and that is why he would be effective.

[Doctor]

Clearly not *that* opposite.

Diaby's not going to be manipulated by Howdy Doody and his clown ways. Come on..

Braswell’s rookie season was demure, but not without some promise. Especially late in the season. He recorded 18 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1 tackle for loss and had one forced fumble in his first NFL season. His 19 pressures were fifth among rookies last year per Pro Football Focus. And his 13.3% pass rush win rate was fourth among that same group with a minimum of 100 pass rush snaps, trailing only three first-round players in Jared Verse, Chop Robinson and Laiatu Latu.

Down the stretch Braswell’s efficiency ballooned as his opportunities contracted.



From Week 14 through the playoffs, Braswell led all rookie edge rushers with a 22.2% win rate (minimum 25 pass rush snaps). His hand usage was vastly improved at the end of the season as he was independently using them to swat away punches and kept tackles off his frame. That improvement, coupled with his speed-to-power and a more comfortable playing style, led to the promise the Bucs are looking for.

“Yeah, I mean I to your point I think we all, you know, especially those – that second year into your third year – that’s kind of when you see guys hitting their strides,” Biehl said. “But one guy that I I’m really excited to see is Chris Braswell from last year’s draft. I just think that with another year under his belt – and pass rusher and D-line in general in this league it’s hard to come in and make an impact as a rookie.

“And Chris worked his tail off last year and I think he’s continued to do that through this offseason. And we’re expecting big things from him. I mean, he’s a talented individual and he’s a great person and I just think that you’re going to see his work ethic come through this year and hopefully we get a lot of production out of him.”

I think Tryon and Braswell both have a chance to get better.

[Doctor]

I mean if Tryon blooms of Brown's I'd welcome him back at a reasonable price.

Can he become a 4-3 defensive end?

[mdb1958]

Sidenote: we only need to knock off 500 yards to be a top five defense.

[Bootz]

[Grahamburn]

We'll be trying him at iLB in training camp next year.

[Snake]

We'll be trying him at iLB in training camp next year.

That’s funny

[Bootz]

We'll be trying him at iLB in training camp next year.

And Dennis at EDGE

[Bootz]

It gets better. When is this??

[Backside]

Braswell will get a chance to show his (lack of) value

[mdb1958]

NFL sack leader Denver is getting sacks from everywhere, we are 6th and so do we.

[mdb1958]

Tell me what makes Nik Bonitto better than Chris Braswell?

[Obsolete]

Tell me what makes Nik Bonitto better than Chris Braswell?

His play.

[Bootz]

Tell me what makes Nik Bonitto better than Chris Braswell?

He can actually play football.

[Pirate Life]

Tell me what makes Nik Bonitto better than Chris Braswell?

Faster mental processing of the play and better reaction to what he sees.

[__Chef__]

When is this??

After the game.
