What does Jonah Elliss bring to Sean Payton's Denver Broncos?

The Washington Game

All of the previous clips are awesome. Elliss blasted the Bruins and about half of the other teams on his schedule, too.

But the Bruins don’t have NFL tackles. The Washington Huskies, on the other hand, do.

Left tackle Troy Fautanu was the 20th overall pick in the draft.

Right tackle Roger Rosengarten was a second-round pick.

Elliss played most of the game against Rosengarten, but had a handful of reps against Fautanu. We’re going to start with his work against Rosengarten.

The spin move that was automatic against the Bruins, wasn’t so sharp against Rosengarten. At just over 6-foot-5 with 33-1/2-inch arms, Rosengarten was able to keep Elliss within reach.

The other stuff that worked against the Bruins oftentimes didn’t work against Rosengarten, either.

The worst rep was when Rosengarten stuffed Elliss, and then the guard came over to clean him up.

Fautanu had similar success.

Elliss put together a couple of decent rushes, but he never got home.

When Elliss won, the ball was out too quickly for his win to matter. This was a theme throughout the game. Elliss rarely had a chance to create pressure on a second effort, because the ball had already been thrown.

In the running game, Elliss fared better than I expected. He received few opportunities, but the size of the Washington tackles didn’t overwhelm him. He looked quick.
