But our DL actually has more sacks than SF, on better teams, and SF pass defense on OL is ranked #31?
Saints have had a top #5 since 2006, not a top #5 DL just this year.

1) He's an OLB pass rusher in a 3 - 4 system. Not a D Linemen.

2) LOL at him not being elite. He has 15 sacks with 6 games to go. He leads the NFL. He may approach the record. That's pretty damn good. It's highly likely he will break the record for the most sacks in the first 2 years in the NFL. I believe he is 2 away from that now. Very likely he reaches it. All time in first 2 years.

3) He gets plenty of sacks against excellent teams and excellent lines. He's not blockable against anybody. He's just a tremendous player and pass rusher against any team. He's a great athlete, powerful, explosive, and has excellent technique too.
