I love Za'Darius Smith with my whole entire heart.
And...wait a minute. Who is that young gentleman with his hand in the dirt causing disruption on a key 3rd down play? Is that...is that Rashan Gary?
Brother, it sure is.

Brother, it sure is.
I'll tell you something I could watch for hours: Za'Darius Smith exploding off a twist. He pushes hard at the outside shoulder of 68, and when he cuts over and bends inside, it's just pure explosion. I'll never get tired of it.
I'm getting some snarky responses to this, so let me explain a bit.
I'm not saying Gary was some BIG DISRUPTER on this play. My point is that, on a big 3rd down, they trusted Gary to line up with his hand in the dirt & do his job. And that's what he did.

He rushes the outside shoulder, engages & drives. Is it a win? Eh, not really. But he does exactly what he was supposed to do: drive out, engage & open room for Smith on the twist.
Looking forward to 2020 - and further down the road - the talk about Gary has been about his versatility. His ability to play the edge or play a bit on the line. I wanted to show an example of that, because I noticed it and I liked it.
