A little shaky on.<\/p>\n
A guy we’ve been high on, qui- I, I, I, I, I just kept waiting for him to take that next step, kinda just didn’t.<\/p>\n
Maybe he’s a guy that- Yeah gets to the NFL and takes that bump.<\/p>\n
I’m trying to gauge, this guy was my number one player going into the season.<\/p>\n
That’s Peter Woods, defensive lineman from Clemson.<\/p>\n
Getting a little worried about his, his length.<\/p>\n
kinda noticed some of the stuff with shedding.<\/p>\n
he’s really If he doesn’t win, that’s instant disruption.<\/p>\n
Like, and he’s qui- Yeah he’s got light feet.<\/p>\n
That’s why I liked him so much.<\/p>\n
He’s got light feet, feet.<\/p>\n
You can see his explosion.<\/p>\n

You can really see him get into the backfield, but I see the lack of length show up a little bit more.<\/p>\n
And if I’m gonna make that such a big deal about Bain, I better make it a big deal about Peter Woods.<\/p>\n
is that, it, it just I see maybe sometimes he gets to the play and he can’t even get the guy ’cause he’s, lacks the length.<\/p>\n
See, sometimes he gets la-latched on a little bit when on the blocks and he can’t get off the block or he’s not even giving that little effort to give that, to get off the block.<\/p>\n
He doesn’t have that grit, that, that makes me a little worried, especially with bigger guys.<\/p>\n
The traits are great still as far as light feet, athleticism, all that type of stuff.<\/p>\n

I think I’m just, my stock is shaky on him where I have to re-gauge that I thought this guy was a locked in top 10, top 12 guy and I think more of, now he’s kind of more of a back half of the first round type guy.<\/p>\n
I still like him ’cause you can’t teach that size and that athle-athleticism.<\/p>\n
I still think he could be a nice, can move around the front a little bit.<\/p>\n
No, like pass rushing nose, can play three tech a little bit, can even do some three, four DN stuff ’cause he’s done it too.<\/p>\n
but just yeah, I’m trying to kinda recalibrate him is maybe the best way to put it because I, I, I’ve checked out a few more late season games thinking I’d see a little bit more sustainability and it’s just, just like the re-rest of that Clemson team, just a lot of meh.<\/p>\n
