Fowler never really held a starter spot and got beat by Ngakoue at 'RE and never challenged Calais at LE. Every summer there was another problem he got into, it's just a draft pick that didn't work out. It happens. I'm sure he will have some good games but he's nowhere near say

Mack. He may work as a 3-4 OLB but only as a rusher.

ill tell you this I remember when Everyone on this board only thought Fowler was good against the run, With no pash rush ability and only got pressures because the takent around him.
That’s changed, he’s gotten better every year and I think he’s got very good potential on the field. He will be missed. We got rid of him because the staff knows we’re not going for a title run this year, because if we were we would’ve kept him. Coughlin understands the importance of pass rushers in the playoffs and SB.
