Last year, he didn't attend OTAs, minicamp or training camp, and as a result he had a down season. This week, defensive line coach Kris Kocurek explained why Bosa's pass-rush production suffered.
Q: After the season, Nick Bosa said he felt he played the run as well as he ever has been his pass rush wasn't where he wanted it to be. And he mentioned hand usage in particular, that he didn't get the reps during the offseason. Is that what you saw? KOCUREK: I would agree with his assessment of himself. He always has been a really dominant run player for us on the edge. He has the ability to reduce run lanes with his edge sets. And he has the ability to close ground on the back side and get to plays. There's instinctual stuff he does in the run game that people don't really even see. In the pass rush, it's difficult with the contract stuff to miss everything.
