So, I've watched the game 3 times now and I thought he looked pretty damn good with the exception of one play where he was chasing the QB and he was either gassed or he's lost some strait line speed. However, I though he still had quickness that he showed on one play where he got off the double team and could have had half a sack, but I think the QB got over the line. Speaking of double teams, I saw him push a double team backwards about 2-3 yards on a pass rush. Might not sound like much, but it's significant because when guys get doubled on a pass rush they usually abandon it and try to maintain a lane while possibly trying to bat a ball down. Most players don't have the strength to even mess with a double team on a pass rush.
In short, I think I would like to see him get down to 300 even and I think he'll inevitably do that. He obviously spent a lot of time in the weight room, but DL don't often do enough cardio and I bet he didn't. By the end of training camp he should be closer to that weight while also have more endurance.
Many people don't have very good things to say about this last game because he didn't flash or show up on the stat sheet, but I paid for that preseason live deal and they have this 10 second rewind button. I made a point to watch many players that included Scruggs and I thought he did well.
