Who is the BEST pass rusher in the NFL?

[@eliheath5336]

Nick bosa or Myles garret easy and can you do videos like this for other positions. Love your videos

[@zackhurwitz9441]

Before finishing the video, I'm gonna say Myles Garrett, in large part due to your video on him. Dude was made in a lab 😂

[@Under_Aimbot11]

Micah Parsons All Da Way

[@vooky5610]

parsons

[@applejacks3709]

garret

[@fineapple_esq]

Donald credits Robert Quinn with teaching him the jump cross chop

[@cbrindle91]

Robert Quinn, when he was having an "on year," would have the nastiest moves and bend...

[@Yaahboi52]

Man, there’s some much technicalities to pass rushing it’s fascinating to watch/breakdown. It’s crazy how there’s combos & counters within a primary move. So much detail in each specific move and why it’s done that way. This is football right here.

[@utjason35]

As someone who is still learning how to play defensive line this video is more helpful than a lot of resources out there and really breaks things down the more dline stuff the better I'm subbing

[@mikemeds2323]

Wow, halfway through and this is already one of the best and informative videos I've seen. Keep up the great work would love to see this become a series of pickup apart all the skill sets of different positions.

[@zackhurwitz9441]

This is nothing new to this channel. Every single one of his videos are like this, it's pretty awesome.

[@ubaydahhuq9056]

fax you only see this quality of videos with people with at least a million subs

[@adityap613]

Man this is amazing, someone already said this but videos like this for other positions would be sick. Great content!

[@logbranch7179]

Fantastic video! Nice change from the player breakdows which are awesome too!

[@jeshuamathis9013]

I like your videos a lot. I appreciate when you rewind the film and explain defense. My mind is slow sometimes. Thanks for the work

[@stevend6067]

This was amazingly structured, clear, concise, thorough. I had very little and erratic knowledge of pass rush technique, but now feel like I can much better see the intentional plans these guys put together.

[@noamcalvache5717]

This video is gold, thank you.

[@NinetyTwoElite]

Great video, I love how you showed so many pass rushers as examples. I think people today forgot how dominant prime Von Miller was! We see 34 year old Von with injuries playing today, he’s not at the same level… but man back in the day he just was beating tackles silly.

[@ztwofacemc5544]

Great video! Keep up the grind brother 💪

[@user-hf5tn3tl7p]

this was incredible. exactly what people have been looking for

[@sworddemon66]

Shout out to James Houston! That man had 8 sacks in 7 games as a rookie pass rush specialist last year. Lions defensive line will be a nightmare to deal with in 2023

[@Yaahboi52]

I was very impressed w him

[@alikaostermiller]

Very comprehensive. You got +1 sub

[@popadop91]

Great video!!!!!

[@legoldencoq]

Amazing video, can you do the same for tackles?

[@MikeJones-fz2mt]

Swim move was my go 2 on the edge in college

[@CookvilleOlb]

Can you do a deep dive into the spin move

[@RevvWrld]

This video is amazing

[@angilnwill13]

Great VID

[@connerlinz7350]

great video

[@TimmyAkins]

awesome video

[@HightauerUSA]

Solid.

[@henrikbtw7232]

I think you slightly covered a missing move when you described a Bull-Rip, But one move neglected to get named was a push pull, one of the best moves for power guys to take advantage of

[@lancefrasier200]

Give me Vons bend, Reggie Whites Club, Donalds bull rush, TJ watts 1st step, Freeneys spin move, and JJ watts motor… Freak DE

[@stephenmccartney7931]

Need a Blockers version next

[@yeettheskeet9710]

spin move but no mention of freeney?

[@blkhawk661]

no love for Cam Heyward for long arm... his long arm tape matches anyone else's. Great video though

[@AL.BUNDY.]

Luke Goedeke is going to get long armed so much in 2023!

[@AtoZSportsFilmRoom]

I had to consciously limit the # of Goedeke clips I included lol

[@AL.BUNDY.]

@@AtoZSportsFilmRoom lol

[@cgiii2440]

You left out the Reggie White club lol

[@cbrindle91]

Homies' definition of "historical" only goes back about 5-7 years... 😂

[@jewels6592]

Who here from cen10

[@AL.BUNDY.]

First!!!!!

[@dylancooper1161]

Dwight Freeney gives me ptsd
