Hutchinson's return from last season's broken leg is the biggest story for Detroit's defense, but the superstar would unquestionably benefit from a reliable complement on the opposite side of the line.
Who has a better "bend", Paschal or Hassanein. What about when they move Levi out there, shoot, Davenport's main move is a bull rush and that's what Hassanein does extremely well.
I don't think they are all that interested in bend for that position, that's on Hutchinson and Barnes for most downs and maybe bring in a pass rusher on passing downs.
Hassanein will make his money setting that edge and bull rushing, they will teach him a counter move or two. Ahmed has proven he can be very detailed oriented and will learn quick.
Neither, really. Paschal is more athletic, but that doesn't often show up because he's slow out the blocks. He was definitely more advanced with his hands and interior rush ability than Hassanein coming into the league. Davenport's bull is predicated on his length and power. Hassanein's bull was inconsistent on tape against average offensive tackles, while Davenport's rocks solid pros. It's not particularly close at the moment.
Hopefully, whoever plays opposite Hutch, will stay healthy and be effective. The entire DL will have to be good as an unit to help do the Team achieve it's season win goal.
It’s funny that you had to argue that 14 sacks is a more realistic target for Hutch than what fans might think. 14 sacks is still tremendous! Any more than 12 would make for a great year and I would be happy to see it!
Great write up! Always look forward to your articles to start my day!
I'm glad you mentioned the subpar OTs Hutch faced in his torrid start last year. I wonder if Hutch's agent and Brad agree on that? I suspect Hutch will be extended before the season begins, but... If they're waiting for Jerrah to pull the trigger and pay Micah Parsons, it could be a long wait.

No doubt Hassasein needs a lot of coaching, maybe much happening this year is a little too optimistic.
