Slow the game down as much as possible and let him get his feet under himself. I was leery about the pick at first but I'll be damned if he didn't look like an absolute load on that sack.I was thinking about scheme and players and the fit of the current players and Clay Matthews. Matthews hasn't been terribly impressive for the last several years and suddenly in a new scheme he's been playing at a level that we haven't seen since... 2014 atleast if not 12. Likewise Smith and Smith have given us an outside presence that quite frankly we just haven't had. IMO the difference is that while Matthews still has gas in the tank he's a 255 pound edge rusher who gets by on quicks finesse and technique with an added wrinkle of physical intensity. In contrast the Smiths are just bigger stronger men at 265 pounds and 272 for Z, they just work better in a scheme that prefers its rushers to take direct routes to a quarterback.</blockquote>
