DTs who can put up 6.5 sacks and be 2nd in pressures on a team do not grow on trees. Those are rare.

or the defense was not all that great as a unit in the first place

Inconsistent production?

6.5 sacks is good but 21st ranked DT in hurries?

I would have to say Inconsistent production.

Not his fault really as I wrote about.

Lets see what another year as a unit does
