Scouting Report: New Defensive Tackle Frank Kearse
Posted 13 hours ago

IRVING, Texas – A quick look at new defensive tackle Frank Kearse, who the Cowboys added to their roster earlier this week.
Frank Kearse:
6-4, 315, 5.31 40-yard dash, Alabama A&M.
Drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round of 2011 NFL Draft
Games Studied: Carolina 2012 season against Miami, Kansas City, Atlanta, San Diego.
•Has spent time with the Dolphins and Panthers before landing on the practice squad of the Titans this season.
•Will play as a one-technique in this scheme. Might be better suited to play as an end in a 3-4 but gives you some size inside at the one.
•Is not that quick-twitch type of player that Rod Marinelli is accustomed to playing with, but his power is impressive.
• Gets more push with power and upper body strength than he does with pass rush moves. Can walk blockers back.
•Can be difficult to move at the point of attack at times. Able to hold up against double teams. Observed him holding off blocker with one arm.
•Is active when it comes to moving down the line and working toward the ball. Showed some mobility.
•Was able to redirect and change directions. Not a stiff moving player. Can play the low block and keep balance.
•Had a nice sack against the Falcons where he defeated the double team with power, collapsed the pocket on Matt Ryan.
•Was very impressed how he battled Max Unger from the Seahawks. In the plays he had, never allowed him to control him in the running game.
•There were some snaps where I thought he could have played better with his hands, and when he didn’t that got him in trouble. Would help him shed blockers better.
