-Massive with great distribution of his weight
- +++ 2 gap

-Dead stop striker/tackler
Neutral -
-Not always squared/can be turned

Minus -
-Not particularly explosive on a lot of snaps, more of a snap recognition
-Chops too many steps out of stance before contact
-Gives up leverage/power often
-Effectively double teamed
-lack of hand movement causes most of his problems with double teams
