Just because you don't see him make a tackle for loss or a sack doesn't mean he's not getting good work done and making an impact. It's the nature of his position and his role within the scheme.

I wasn't saying he wasn't doing his job. I've been more than happy with the impact he's had thus far. Out of curiosity, where do you get those numbers? Place I look has him at 55% against the hawks.

Right - the comments about him "doing his job/making impact" were more for the OP who was inquiring along those lines. 

I got the numbers by looking at snap counts here: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/snapcounts

...then I calculated total number of defensive snaps from the box score and did the math. Your site's 55% may include ST snaps in its total. Either way - he's playing more than you were aware of.  That's a good thing really, because there was some concern about his conditioning and being able to contribute on a meaningful number of snaps, and now we know he's in shape to do so.
