What's going on with that?? I have only been able to watch the Iowa game. Is he drawing a lot of double teams?
McDonald only has 1 sack this year?

I think that's because we don't have other threats. So, he's easily double teamed. I do, however, like him in the various positions he's been put in.

He has also been being used as an OLB at times and dropping back in pass coverage and other things.
The other two down linemen can't/don't get the push as the others in the past, which leads to way more double or triple teams.
We rush 3 so often that he's automatically getting double teamed with an occasional chip by the TE/RB.
If we had another threat he wouldn't get double teamed as much.
Thats why last year him and Enyi were so good.
He's still a freak athlete and should be drafted in the top 3 rounds next year

MJ Anderson is starting to figure it out. It’s been kinda neat watching him progress on our system. If he can keep improving, they might need to start thinking about which of the two they are going to chip. We looked really good sending an extra guy in the second half last week, which would also help.
Will is just getting treated like the All-American talent he is. They double him and hit him with RBs and TEs all day long.

And held on about 90% of snaps
While he only has the one sack, I think he's been really good against the run this year. He's also been able to disrupt some passes, whether in dropping in coverage or just getting his hands up after being unable to beat the double or triple team. I'm curious if there's any possibility that those improvements have any chance to actually raise his draft stock, despite not putting up the pass rushing numbers he's used to.
I'm not as concerned with the sacks as much as disruption. That went pretty well last Saturday particularly in the 2nd half.
That disruption leading to some more INTs would be excellent.

Uwazurike was the most underrated player of the Campbell era. Sound in every aspect of the position, extremely versatile and consistent.
Lee is a very good player and Anderson has been a good surprise. But Uwazurike was a PROBLEM.

McDonald will get drafted and should do well with one on one ball. The scouts know this.
I think his run game has improved as well. He graded relatively poorly there previously.
He is double teamed on 90% of passing plays. When he isn't double teamed he is either causing a QB hurry or is being held, usually both.
I agree. Also I expect him to put up good numbers at the combine and get himself into a position to be a fringe day 1 or day 2 draft pick. Similar to Breece.
