Like I said Preston Smith is doing his thing and he took some time and he was a higher rated player than MD.....The injury may be hindering some, but we'll see by seasons end
From what I hear from coach/ player interviews, radio talk etc he is
Just kind of slow as far as catching on to technique and more importantly he needs to be more instinctive. They rely on his pure physical freakishness for the bull rush but that’s about all he’s got right now.
Talent is great and all but only gets you so far when you are around so many other talented players. Intelligence and instinct separate the men from the boys.
I had hoped to see more.

He look likes a thinker....like he's thinking on the go instead of trusting his eyes and playing free... because when he does OMG when he does you see why they drafted him. Trey was the same way, but he's coming along he has more moves and counters....I still believe the kid can prove to himself and the doubters what he's truly capable of

Good observation. I am still very high on Davenport and if he can make a jump like Hendrickson has he will be special because his physical abilities are crazy.

I think he’s the opposite. He tries too much to just go 100% and maul people because he didn’t HAVE to think as much in college. He was just stronger, faster, tougher than anyone else. Now he can’t rely purely on his physically, he has to play smart because of the level of competition.
Maybe now he’s trying to overcompensate now and thinks too much.
Once he gets it and has the combination of both...look out. Just hope it happens.
