Hes only 2.5 sacks behind the so called almighty "Jared Allen" who people are saying should win Defensive player of the year ( no way whilst sharpers in new orleans)
Charles Grant needs to takes some notes out of will smiths book, Grants kindov disappeared by this point.

The only reason Jared Allen has the number of sacks he has is because he played twice against Green Bay. I think it was 7 1/2 sacks on Aaron Rogers.

The more I see the Vikings and their softass schedule, the less I worry about the Saints possibly going into Minnesota for a playoff game.

Good call. Putting Allen vs. Smith in perspective, let's look at the games both have had sacks in:

Allen: Packers (2 games): 7.5 sacks
Bears: 2 sacks
Lions (2 games): 1 sack
Niners: 1 sack
Ravens: 1 sack

12.5 Total Sacks

Smith: Buffalo: 1 sack
New York Jets: 1.5 sacks
Atlanta: 2 sacks
Carolina: 2 sacks
St. Louis: 1 sack
Tampa Bay: 1 sack
New England: 1.5 sacks

10 Total Sacks

Jared Allen has gotten fat off of two games on an offensive line more porous than Spongebob Squarepants. He has disappeared in 5 games where he didn't record a sack. I'm not taking anything away from the guy, because I do think he is a top notch DE and demands a double team most of the time, but he is hit or miss.

In comparison, Will Smith has had only four games were he didn't record a sack. He has blossomed the last 5 games by getting to the QB at least once and totaling 7.5 in the process.

Allen has gotten the majority of his sacks in spurts and has only recorded more than one sack in three games. Smith has been more consistent with his, and has recorded 1.5-2 sacks four times. Take away the two Green Bay games, and Allen's line looks mediocre.
