Pass Rush/Repertoire

Now, we all know that edge players like to win with a burst, the quick first step that forces tackles to realign. In reality, his long-armed bull rush, and leg drive move offensive tackles away, allowing Anderson to get an arm free. With that said, Anderson’s spin move, equal parts speed, explosion, and pad level. His inside shoulder drives into the area of the outside of the blocker. Like a fulcrum, Anderson uses his shoulder to gain momentum and win. At the next level, developing an inside counter move would enhance his rush set. The Bama standout easily slips through on inside blitzes.
