It’s pretty crazy that USC took Pepe. How far have they fallen. Pepe was only shown attention by Oregon because he’s close with DJU. They were ready to spend 2 schollies on DJ. Once DJ went Clemson, Pepe was obviously ghosted. Still find it insane USC is taking a 5’10” DT that has no business playing big boy football.
Overall Oregon is doing what it can with the circumstances. The DL they are getting are run stoppers that extend their arms and disengage from blocks and push their blocker back. They clog the lanes. Pepe doesn’t show these traits. The majority is him getting a free release off the line or going around the blocker. He uses his hand well. Part of that is scheme but it’s hard to imagine what we see translating well at the next level. He’s just not fast enough to be an edge guy.
Almost all of Pepe’s highlight are against the pass with him in the middle of a 3-3-5 or on the edge in an even front. I take Maceal in that role.
Montra’s are almost all against the run.
