D-line man who loves to play D-line, who takes pride in playing D-line
0:02
very physical at the point of attack, and I'm here for the team, I'm here to win
0:07
Let's look into the film of Tommy Aking Basto. Now he's 6'4", 306 pounds, and yes, he's an interior guy that can give you some outside play
0:19
With that being said, he do have a great get-off, his speed is there, as far as his hands and usage
0:26
Now, his number one thing is I came here to stop the run
0:31
So he's a run stomper, not necessarily a heavy sack production guy
0:36
but he can squeeze down into B-gap and get to the running back
0:41
And he delivers that particular blow. Now, this Nigerian, and we all know that this man right here
0:47
got the mindset to go with the pedigree of his skill set
0:51
And when you start talking about this guy, I want him to be like the Nigerian nightmare, you know, the warrior that he could be
1:00
And especially like a name, like a king, best though, come on with it
1:04
So he's able to push and move things away. You know, he have a great ball rush
1:10
Now, the problems with it is that he do have troubles and issues disengaging with stronger guys
1:15
Nevertheless, that first jab is nice. And watch how he gets off of his release really good
1:21
and like I said what you want to do is get the opposition off or out of their
1:26
cylinder shoulder squared and making sure you drive through huh hey be the aggressive attack got his hands inside now it time to release as we can see here a feat always moving And when you look at the reports of him he got good feats for a big guy for 306 pounds
1:44
And he's able to get up field, move things back and get the sack here
1:48
So I do like that skill set out of him. Now here he is and he's able to bend, get around and make this particular tackle right here
1:56
As you guys can see, watch him right here. Inside right here
2:00
Watch how he's able to get around, squeeze, be the aggressive, take on to the contact right here
2:09
Don't allow to get your body into a situation that you can't get out of
2:15
And once those shoulders are turned, you've won the game. The name of the game is turn them shoulders of the offensive lineman
2:21
and he's able to do that, and he body slams him. So that quick get off is what we like out of his tape
2:27
the ability to burst around and get to the edge and, and being able to win that one-on-one encounter is everything right there
2:35
So that is what Tommy brings to the table here. Hey, here he is on edge hand fight and he disengages and he's able to make
2:44
the sack here. All right. So when you talking about a 306 pound guy, right
2:50
that's six foot four and he's able to get around, attack the outside shoulder swim and once you get those shoulders turned it's over with for any
3:01
offensive lineman so what you want to do a body in motion stays in motion i don't stop my feet
3:06
he holding but i fighting through it and i get the sack here so those are things that i look for out of him i think that he gonna come right on in fight for a spot of course osa is the number one guy solomon thomas is the number two guy but if
3:21
you got a guy like tommy who can get inside and get in as a rotational piece this is a great thing
3:27
and then on top of that ladies and gentlemen his development will count major because what we're
3:33
looking for is a run stuffer, a stopper, someone who's willing to get in there and make something
3:39
happen. And we're seeing as he body slam smooth right here and letting them know what the grass
3:43
tastes like. I do like this skill set out of Tommy. I think that the Cowboys and later round
3:49
they said, you know what? We need to fill in a hole for defensive tackle. I heard a lot of people
3:54
talking about this, right? So why not go get a guy that can penetrate, get upfield? Like I said
4:00
He don't have heavy productions as it relates to sack, but his job is for to let the linebackers flow
4:06
His job is to stop the run, and his job is to also create a little pressure here
4:12
Keep in mind, the star-studded guys will always be Michael Parsons and as well as the edge rushers, whether it's Sam Williams, whether it's Fowler
4:20
whether it's a situation and scenario that Donovan easy can get in there
4:26
and make something happen. Now we got a guy that can penetrate inside, and I can't wait to talk about the other guy
4:33
Oh, my goodness. And we're definitely going to talk about Jake. But neither here nor there, when you look at this particular tape, can he stop the run
4:42
most importantly? That is what Matt Eberflew said he would bring to the table It just that And I can wait to see Tommy The lineman who loves to play D who takes pride in playing D is very physical at the point of attack and I here for the team I here to win
4:56
The word that sums it all up is maturity, man. I learned about myself
5:00
I'm a maturity in many ways, and the best is ahead. I don't refer back to bad habits
5:05
I just keep going. Indeed, keep going. So we're looking for someone that can stop the run, that can fit inside
5:11
He will be a great rotational piece. He's not the end-all be-all. Keep in mind, you got Olsen still that's going to be your starter, right
5:18
And then you have Solomon Thomas. What you're trying to do is create a competitive atmosphere
5:23
And if you got a guy that come out of college with 32 tackles, one sack, of course, last season from that D-line
5:30
that's a lot of tackles from a defensive lineman. That means that, hey, he rallies, he plays through the echoes of the whistle
5:37
I like what we were able to see. And on top of that, it was a late round draft pick
5:41
So it's nothing to pop champagne bottles with, but it's something that we can look back on and say to ourselves
5:48
we got us a guy that his mindset is number one, stopping the run
5:53
And that's one thing that we definitely need. And kudos and credence to my guy, the Nigerian Tommy, a king of best
6:01
So come on with it. DC for life. Post me your thoughts. Post me your concerns down below
6:06
That's been my time. I really thank you all for yours. And remember, you're listening to nothing but the best
