In case some of you missed it, what with the big Mike McMahon signing and all, we also signed DeQuincy Scott, DE, San Diego. There wasn't much said about it. Here's what ESPN says about him.

Experience: 4 years

Grade 68

Expert's Take: Scott is a situational player. He will come in as a nickel DT on pass rush situation. He good overall athletic ability, quickness and strength. He comes off the ball with an explosive first step, he has good change of direction skills, and he is constantly on the move and he is relentless in his effort to get to the QB. He uses his quickness to work the edges. He is a one-gap penetrator who can get in the backfield and be very disruptive against the pass and run. He uses his hands effectively to shed blockers and he was able to hold the point of attack when he played with leverage. He does a good job getting his hands up in the passing lanes and knocking down passes. The problem with Scott is he is undersize and lacks ideal height and bulk. He will get overpowered when he does not play with good leverage and technique. He was on the ground a lot and he could not hold up the point of attak vs the double team blocks on a consistent bases. He does not have bulk or lower body strength to push the pocket, he was engulfed by bigger offensive tackles and was stalemated at the line of scrimmage when double team on slide protection. Overall, Scott is a relatively young player who is a good backup and he will give adequate depth to the position but he is not an every down player. He is always going to have his limitation but he has been a productive situational pass rusher with a great work ethic and motor.

Almost kinda reminds me of what they all said about Chris Hovan....
