Its no good, but flag! Offsides NYG

WFT wins. Good game, but NYG should have won this. That dropped pass and a holding penalty cost them 11 pts.

OMG!

Chase Young.

Kind of a slow start. Is the hype overblown? Just 3 tackles and a TFL, which was just a clean up play for Sweat. Thought Young was supposed to tee off on the Giants?

Chase hasn't looked anything close to a star in first two games this year.

He's had more embarrassing plays than big impact ones. Clowney 2.0?

While teammates celebrate, Young's gaze elsewhere.

Chase had 0 sacks, 3 tackles, yet ESPN interviews him after the game rather than anyone else. Star of the Game, LOL.

Some suggest ESPN and their parent company are mostly about agenda and profit, completely disconnected from honesty or reality. It's an interesting criticism...something worth thinking about.

Sailing Disney Cruise ships into the teeth of unknown Covid in May 2020? Ensuring that the Heisman winner always plays in the national championship game. Destroying the Star Wars franchise? Yeah...those folks.

7.5 career sacks in 17 starts. If that isn't overhyped I'm not sure what is?

Sacks aren't a good measure of pass rush productivity.

Rashawn got to Young's confidence, especially steamrolling Chase on running plays.

Rookie's gonna spoil a lot of appetites.

Slayton dropped the game winning TD pass.

Our X receiver @darealmike_dub needs to stop with the bulletin board comments and just catch everything in sight.

Agreed, but Young's 2021 PFF score, based on pressures, run support, etc.:
68.5

Such a score is regarded as mediocre. To have any hope of earning his selection as a second overall draft pick...he needs to be Aaron Donald Plus. Currently the best word for this pick is Titanic. Or to be more accurate on the investment/return: Afghanistan.

Right now he's a slightly above average player who is gifted behind a microphone. Not much more.

Such a score is regarded as mediocre. For a defensive end drafted second overall in his draft class the best word for it is: Titanic. Or to be more accurate on the investment/return: Afghanistan. To have any hope of earning a second overall draft pick...he needs to be Aaron Donald Plus. Right now he's a slightly above average player who is good behind a microphone.

That's one metric that may actually be useful. Although PFF struggles to grade run defense IMO, in addition to overweighting both run blocking and run defense in their composite grades.

Pressure rate, win rate, etc add up to a more complete picture.

I don't really care about Chase Young so I have no idea where he is on any of those but just as general comments.
