COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Junior defensive end Damontre Moore is one of Texas A&M's best pass-rushers and showed that last year by recording 8.5 sacks, second on the team. That ability was also readily apparent on Saturday during the Aggies' first full, open scrimmage of fall training camp.

But it's not just all about sacks for the 6-foot-4, 250-pound veteran. Coach Kevin Sumlin said that while he enjoys the production Moore brings, he wants to see improvement in other areas.

"He is a guy that has made big plays," Sumlin said. "I think the problem with him is kind of a feast or famine deal, that he's made big plays but has showed the ability to hurt the football team with contain issues, jumping offsides, hasn't been able to stay (up) ... you look out there and he's flopping around on the ground. So he's a guy that we've got to corral. He's got to understand his role and become an every-down player that's consistent and not just (having) a great play and then we don't see you, and then a maybe a penalty."
