Having < 10 sacks doesn’t mean they didn’t play great. It’s literally the only thing you’ve focused on though
- sbroads24


It’s a metric that makes a BIG difference imo
And it’s something we were very lacking as a defense last year

Again....
what’s so wrong with wanting our starting DEs to get 10+ sacks???

Nothing wrong with wanting sacks.

Pretending guys aren’t good (Hughes) or had a huge decline (Watt) based solely on sacks makes it seem like that’s the only thing you care about

that pathetic pass rush you speak of led to the second most turnovers by any D in 2020, 1 behind the leader

pressure on the qb led to a lot of those turnovers


adding a future hall of famer that graded out as one of the 6 best pass rushers in the afc only helps

Yeah, it really devastated KC.... didn’t it?

Am i the only one who wants to see our defense IMPROVED so that we have a better chance of beating them?!?!

I sincerely don't care.

These arguments go in circles.

You want guys who can get double digit sacks. We all do

I want Tre White to get 5+ picks every year. I won't let that one single metric determine my entire opinion on his season if he doesn't get them

Been on decline for years

Have to give up a 1st to take that contract

Well past his prime

Even his own team doesn't want him

Lost his job to Robin Lehner

I feel like we can do better

Hasn't played since January 26th

It doesn’t define my entire opinion

every ranking overall says hughes and jj watts are both top 10 DE


60 DE's start

it's like those saying reinhart was a third line winger when he is a top 60 scorer up front in the nhl

And you can continue to say it doesn't but it is literally the ONLY evidence you've used against Watt and Hughes.

It’s a metric that matters
You even said that “we all want sacks”
This isn’t that difficult

It’s like saying i don’t just want a WR to get open,
I want him to also catch the ball
