On this play, Calhoun uses his hands to keep the blocker from engaging, and then blows by the running back for the sack.

Calhoun is given free run right into the backfield, he squares up, and just flat out misses the tackle.

Calhoun might be undersized, but he has occasionally flashed some power. He drives his matchup all the way to the QB, forcing him out of the pocket.

Calhoun will sometimes just seem content to get stuck on his block. He is matched up with 1-on-1 with a TE here and easily should have been able to win this battle.

Calhoun uses a rip move to get to the inside of the tackle, and then lays a hit on the QB as the pass is being thrown. Not a play that shows up on the official stat sheet, but an important one nonetheless.
