I know he's not the first that's come here as a FA and put in effort but this man has had double digit sacks ZERO times in his career and already has eclipsed his career high of nine back in 2013. 

As much as he looks the best he's ever had, just goes to show how good the DBs/LB's and rest of the Dline for getting him there. 

33 sacks - 2nd place Pittsburgh 24 sacks. 

Is Sacksonville official yet?

When you consider the fact that the only thing done to address the pass rush this off season was to sign him, it's impossible to deny just how huge an influence he has had on improving our entire line simply by leading through example.  The guy could have been another free agent signing that cost too much and returned little, but it's clear he wanted to prove his worth, and this defense is so much better because of his decision to come to Jacksonville.  It has raised the bar for the entire defense to have him here, and particularly since he has completely bought into what Tom and Doug have been preaching about their vision for this team.  He is the prime example of their vision in action.
