First of all, I would LOVE to see what Rousseau's wing span is because he is like a Giraffe out there. As far as the comp, I can see why you say that but I think the difference between the two is Aldon Smith had superior technique, length and good functional athleticism and had a plan every time he rushed, Rousseau has a rare combination of unreal length mixed with borderline freakish athleticism which gives Olinemen fits, he takes 2.5 steps and he is at the QB Dude was so unrefined and was totally dominant, his upside is scary IMO....

Went back and watched Aldon and I saw some of what I remembered but Aldon has better closing speed and I do agree better technique. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll probably get railroaded for this... and I don’t think he is the same athlete or level of prospect or as refined coming out but some similarities in play style and taking into account his nfl career and the level of impact I project for Phillips in the NFL, I will compare him to Jadeveon Clowney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like a Connor Barwin with red flags. @Counselor..that's some VanS level comp-ing there If he's not as big and not the same athlete then...?

You cut off the whole comparison because your comparison for Darrisaw is bad. Cute games from my cute friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to get that specific and then go Phillips - Clowney.....🤓 *shrugs* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Charles Snowden should be getting a lot more talk than he is. Only thing keeping him down is athletically, who knows how elite he is. If he puts up good numbers he will sky rocket up draft boards. Not sure he is a Leonard Floyd type athlete but has that type of potential as a athletic edge player who has versatility despite being long and some what thin. Underrated pass rusher. Rare length on the edge. Can get his hands up and deflect passes. Will be interesting where he ends up and how he does at the combine.

He's not nearly as explosive/twitchy and doesn't have good short area quickness. Aldon was a top 7 pick because he was solid all around with no real weaknesses. Rousseau is an awkward prospect to me... thin for a DE that does his best work inside, and a long-legged mover as well. Not a big fan right now.

Not a big fan right now. Since when has 265 been "thin" for a college DE, especially when most of them go for around 250-255? And good, I hope more people like you talk down on him and he slides all the way to #23. Its safe to call him a tweener, which doesn't mean its a bad thing, what you see what he did at UM playing both DE/DT is what smart DCs will do with him at the next level, put him in the best matchups and have him dominate those weak link linemen. I get it with most guys, they are more comfortable with guys who fit normal dimensions, whenever guys come out that are awkward or don't have the normal description of what a normal prospect would normally look like people tend to get uncomfortable and safe, which is fine. I for one have zero issues taking a guy like him that have that type of length and athleticism, this means, it takes way less time to get to where he has to get to, especially when he gets a good get off. I could only imagine the type of damage he could do opposite of Myles Garrett on base downs, and inside on 3rd downs isolated against a guard. But listen, I get it, its the season to tear these guys down and nitpick, but the obvious is right in front of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
