I feel he will have a big game and get under Tua’s skin. He’s got the quickest first step I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see the matchup there.

XT will be the best DE to come out of Clemson. Save this post.

You need big boys in the middle to soak up the blocks from the O-line. It's hard for DEs to do that with the weight/strength disadvantage. You can hold up for a while with 3 or 4 DEs and 3 LBs, but it won't take long for them to get worn out against a good O-line. DTs have to control space so LBs know where to look for gaps/run fits.

Yep. It's a true testament to our DTs they make so many plays. Most DTs are asked to absorb blocks and take up space so a DE or LB can make the tackle.

XMan is going to be a nightmare for Tua and any other QB that faces him over the next two years.
