He shows explosiveness in his play and can get off the line of scrimmage. He will get stuck on blocks and makes it hard for him to shed blockers because of his lack of arm usage. He shows quickness in his play and the ability to diagnose plays. He feels blocks coming towards him and reacts well. He wins most of his battles with quickness and can work down the line of scrimmage with lateral movement. He has the ability to reach the edges versus the outside run and has good speed and range for the position. As a pass rusher he does not get great production and despite his quickness he struggles from the three-technique defensive tackle position to rush the passer and collapse the pocket. His short arms limit his ability to truly be effective as a pass rusher. He is at his best as a first and second down player coming out on passing downs and situations because he is undersized. Adams has a good tempo and motor to be disruptive against the run.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
He's a quick and disruptive tackle versus the run. He's not a good pass rusher because of his short arms, but I think he'll be a good fit in the bills scheme as a run defender only. He could probably add a few more pounds to get over the 300 mark and eventually form an effective starting duo with McCargo. I think Tripps should take a backseat and do what he does best, pass rush. Regardless, all Dt's will get playing time seeing as how they rotate all the time. This guy won't break the bank so I think he'd be a good signing.
