FILM EVALUATION
WHAT SHOWS UP ON FILM
Cohen’s film shows a versatile DE/OLB with the processing speed to recognize backfield action while maintaining his edge responsibilities. His active hands, lateral control and closing burst allow him to affect plays from multiple alignments, including reps where his initial rush path is stopped. The evaluation looks at how his discipline and physical finish hold up across those different roles.
DEVELOPMENTAL FOCUS
WHAT COMES NEXT
Areas that can help Cohen continue developing his complete defensive front profile.
01
PASS RUSH COUNTERS
Continue expanding his counter options when the initial rush path is disrupted or the first move does not land cleanly.
02
HAND SEQUENCING
Refine the timing and connection of his hand movements to create cleaner separation and more consistent finishes against blocks.
03
POSITIONAL VERSATILITY
Continue developing the technical details required to maximize his effectiveness across edge, linebacker and interior alignments.
FILM EVALUATION SUMMARY
THE OVERALL PICTURE
Cohen’s film presents a versatile DE/OLB whose explosive closing speed is supported by disciplined processing and controlled movement. He reads through the backfield cleanly, triggers without hesitation and maintains edge integrity while working laterally to the football.
His ability to stack and shed, finish with intent and create disruption with active, coordinated hands allows him to affect reps from multiple alignments. Continued development in pass rush counters, hand sequencing and the technical demands of each position can help him turn that versatility into an even more complete defensive profile.
