If you can recall that play where Cam J got a sack on Tyrod, Rankins "peaks" to keep containment. He did his assignment but rarely do these small details come up on highlight films. All we saw was the "sack" by Jordan.

IMO Rankins has become a quality starter.

I've been searching in vain to find the individual pressures/hurries stats. I know I have accessed them before somewhere, but no such luck now. PFF may have them, but I don't subscribe to their full service.

Football Outsiders is a good source for in depth analysis, however I no longer subscribe to their service.

Yeah, I knew about them, but once again a subscription service.

Danno, ChrisXVI and Saint in Aus like this.
