There's a new bully on the block—a team that has already beaten Detroit, Los Angeles, and, now, Tampa Bay.

What makes Zarate so dang good? Are there some hidden attributes?

He is a normal sized DE with a combination of speed, acceleration and strength combined with a 97 pass rush rating. That 84 speed turns a lot of pressures into sacks. It would probably take a Tackle with close to the same speed, acceleration, strength along with close to perfect pass blocking to slow Zarate down, and there aren't too many of those around.

Yeah, he's an absolute QB killer... 273 lbs, 84 speed and 97 pass rush, there's no hidden ratings, those are in your face ratings! that being said, he only has 19 tackles, 17 of them are sacks. He's murdering QB's, but he's not haunting any RB's dreams...

I'm not knocking him, he kills my Quarterback routinely... I see that speed demon twice a year!

He is a freak! If only his tackle ability was higher than 31.

I’ll trade you For him.

That 31 is a liability.
