because I treat 34 DEs like SSLBers or smaller 43 DEs. Meaning I prefer mine to be stout enough to hold and edge against the run like a 43 DE, or at worst handle some of the heavy lifting a OLBer does, specifically a SSLB.
So yeah, I like my 34 Edge guys a little beefier and Im not worried so much about chasing a RB down the field. Thats where our disconnect comes in. And I'm cool with that. It explains the difference of opinion.
As far as Epenesa, I agree with you to him not really blowing up this season. He disappeared more then I cared for as well, but I think he flashed enough elite talent that he is a goner in the first round. Esp for a team that will play him at DE on 1st and 2nd down and then moves him inside on 3rd downs. He could be a terror in a scenario like that IMO.
