Real good read on McCoy and our Defense fitting with Short and Poe

Charles is a solid evaluator. Love his content and he's all right about how much McCoy elevates this defense.

PFF article also out there talking about how Short and McCoy's chemistry work out really well based on their strengths:

"Straight off the bat, the pairing of Short and McCoy is a great one. Kawann Short — who has played 74.7% of his defensive snaps lined up on the right side of his defense’s 4-3 front over the past three years — has earned a three-year overall grade of 91.8 on his snaps from the right side of the defense, second to only Aaron Donald among the 193 interior defensive linemen with at least 100 snaps from the right side in that span. Excelling against the run, Short leads that very same group of players in run-defense grade (92.3) and tackles for loss or no gain (27, eight more than the next closest player), while his 55 run stops and 0.67 average depth of tackle rank second and fifth, respectively.

Among the 159 interior defensive linemen with at least 100 snaps from the right side over the past three seasons, Short’s 80.9 pass-rush grade ranks ninth, his 105 total pressures rank fourth, his 12.7% pass-rush win rate ranks 17th and his 10.6% pressure rate ranks 19th.

McCoy, who, since 2016, has spent 71.1% of his defensive snaps lined up on his defense’s left-hand side — thrived. Among the 202 interior defensive linemen with at least 100 snaps from the left over the last three years, McCoy’s 85.4 overall grade ranks 15th, while his 79.2 pass-rush grade ranks seventh. From this side, McCoy has racked up 15 sacks, 24 hits and 64 hurries for a total of 103 quarterback pressures that rank sixth among players over that three-year period. His 12.7% pass-rush win rate and his 10.2% pressure rate respectively rank tied for 13th and tied for 19th among the 155 interior defensive linemen with at least 100 snaps.
