Noah Spence is Adding to His Pass Rush Arsenal

The Bucs are hoping Noah Spence can be that dominant pass rusher that they have been searching for since the days of Simeon Rice. The Bucs were lucky to get Spence in the second round because he was the best pass rusher in the draft. Spence made some bad decisions but it doesn't mean he is a bad person, and he is ready to turn the corner with the Bucs. Spence was very good in college with 20 sacks combined between his time at Ohio State and Eastern Kentucky. Spence is just a natural as he has good athleticism and outstanding quickness off the snap allowing him to get to the Qb quickly. Spence's go-to move is the outside speed dip and rip which can be very effective if executed properly. Watch Spence do it perfectly against Donovan Smith who Spence will go against in practice every day now.

Now that move can be very effective but to be a great pass rusher you have to have a counter or a inside move to set up the outside move. Lets take a look at Dwight Freeney who is one of the best in the game in setting up left tackles by using his spin move inside to get sacks.

Freeney does a great job of making it look like he is going to use the outside rip but does a great job of spinning back inside and its a easy sack. Now Noah Spence is looking to add the spin move to his rush game as he has been working with pass rush specialist coach Chuck Smith who tweeted this out a couple days ago.

Now this is an outside spin move which has been perfected by Robert Mathis which can be very effective and can be used to set up inside rips or swim moves. This is great to see from Spence who is working hard to add to his pass rush ability and if he can effectively add this move he could be very dangerous for years to come. The outside spin move makes sense for Spence as it will allow him to use his speed off the edge which is his best attribute. It's still early and Spence has a long way to go but it looks like he wants to be great and will be someone to watch when training camp starts.
