Just get in to our community and I'm little bit surprised there isn't a thread about him
In just 2 quarters was by far the most effective pass rusher performance we saw this season
Was impressed how he bull rushed the guy 70pound heavier then him

Yet Vance has him last on the depth chart and gave him no previous snaps.

Shades of him playing Riley at safety over the better performing Washington.

Were those sacks were against Becton? I wanted to draft him if we didn’t get Simmons.

Edit: oh wait he didn’t play. So he did it against a second string OT?? Ehh.

After his first sack I was screaming for them to put him back in. Took a while and then he had another. With Jones out we will need people to step up.

No, he didn't play. Injury.

I think he did against two different tackles since he made a sack at right side and one at left side

His energy alone should afford him more opportunities.
But isn't just energy, I think he has a quick first step as a pass rusher and the strenght to be effective in both ways
Obviously has to work on technique but at this point looks like our best option rushing the passer

Looks like Hicks started doing the same celebration dance before the camera zoomed in on Gardeck

Both Gardeck sacks were superb. Both very different but shows good technique and speed on both. Speed and hands on the first and power on the 2nd.

Im really intrigued to see him vs Dallas.

Reddick and Simmons are both better than Gardeck at rushing the passer. That takes nothing away from Gardeck. He played very well in his short time and deserves to pay more because of it.

Reddick sucks at contain though and Simmons just isn't better. He's had 5 minutes in the NFL.

Gardeck is such a hard worker I'm interested to see how he does at diagnosing plays and keeping contain. It's one thing to use your speed to beat a guy but can he shed a block from a 300lb tackle?

Wondering if Vance might only use him on 3rd down

Well he did simply destroy a 300lb tackle on at least 2 dominant bull rushes I saw & shed the OT on his other sack:mrgreen:

let’s not forget, pass rushing was his forte in college though at the lower level.

The discussion was about rushing the passer, not contain... so I will still take Reddick in that.

Gardeck has very little playing experience outside of special teams and has no where near the athleticism that Simmons has.

I stand by my statement.

Gardeck does not have close the athletic skill of Simmons or even Reddick but he does have that fanatical energy where late in a game when plays count he can be a factor with a nonstop motor

He may have had the energy because he was fresh from not playing all game.

Gardeck definitely earned more playing time. He isn't starter material though.

I don't know if he has the size to be a Golden type player which gets by on hustle, but he does belong in the NFL which is a testament to him :raccoon:
