So what, if he was as good as those stats say then the CBs wouldn't had to cover as long as they had to during games last season

The reason they still had to cover even when Junior was getting there was all down to the lack of interior push from people like Akiem Hicks

Junior beat the tackles pretty consistently, but because Hicks was invisible all season the QB had tons of time and space to step up in the pocket.

I don't know the final stats, but very late last season Junior was 2nd in the entire league in QB hurries behind JJ Watt.

I'd agree Hicks was the biggest disappointment along the D-line, followed by Jordan and Jenkins.
