Can anyone who studies the tape tell me if neild actually had good push or good penetration on a CONSISTANT basis? If we can rely on him to be a positive contributor?

Ive seen the game twice, and while he didnt pressure on every play, he did get considerable push most of the time, Id say even more than Cofield did. He hurried Manning quite a bit and looked alot more solid than we have had in the past. In short he doesnt get pushed around, and has chances to impose his will on o0pposing lineman.
