Pass rush specialist Chuck Smith joined Dukes & Bell for his Tuesday appearance on the show live from the Senior Bowl and talked about what the Falcons need to be looking for in a pass rusher?
When asked about developing a pass rusher.
“Number one, it starts with looking at how he moves on the field, movement is the winning edge, Smith said. “Number two. How does he take in information, when you give him information is he able to execute what he's taught, because pass rushers the same things you do off the field you want to be able to do on the field and number three, is he a dog?”
Smith talked about the coaches responsibility in developing pass rushers.
“You gotta be able to teach moves. If you don't believe me go look at the best, go look at the best. So that's how it goes down, that's gonna be the most important part, I want to make sure the coaches get some responsibility in there for developing a pass rusher. That's what the falcons have been unable to do for quite sometime.”
