Stackhouse possesses good play recognition to key the ball, shed his block, and attack the ball upfield. Shows to have a good ability to generate push through the offensive line and attack the ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage. He has very good strength to establish and maintain leverage with one hand while attacking and stopping the ball carrier with the other. Has a very good tackle range at the line of scrimmage against the run. Displays a strong intensity to shed and attack with maximum effort. He takes efficient angles towards the ball that also leverages the ball carrier over the top. His timing on stunts is good as he’s able to find and penetrate holes in the pocket with ease.
However, he lacks acceleration and top end speed to make an impact on the play when releasing from his block to attack the ball upfield. Displays a poor ability to change directions quickly. Shows an adequate ability to key the quarterback in the pocket and finish the tackle. There’s an inconsistent ability to generate push and establish leverage versus double teams inside.
