Brooks Reed and Sam Acho (1 Viewer)

I'd love some thoughts on Brooks Reed and Sam Acho. Both are young outside rush linebackers. Brooks has 4 sacks in the last 3 games and Acho has 3 sacks and a FF in the same timeframe. Any thoughts on either of them? Are we seeing the beginnings of two star pass rushers or just a hot streak.

I think Brooks Reed will be a very good pass rushing LB. Acho appears to have seized the opportunity of J.Porter being out and out played the old man. I wouldn't be surprised if Acho won the job even when Porter can come back.

I think they are both the real deal. What separates Reed from the pack is his effort and motor. He's a little stiff, but he plays fast. Acho is a similar player, but I think he's actually splitting snaps with O'Brien Schofield, another pass rush specialist in his 2nd year. He tore his ACL in the Senior Bowl? and he was drafted lower than he should have. They're all more valuable in big play leagues...my opinion only...production will be inconsistent.

Reed keeps collecting the sacks....might be for real.
