Quote:FBT has more than earned my insults, He insults me every chance he gets. And in this case i'm not wrong, nothing I've said in this thread is wrong. If you guys think 7 sacks in 28 games and being terrible against the run = good DE you need to watch non jaguar football. I know our DLine has been awful for a long time but that's not good for a DE. 

 

Jesus kid. What don't you get? For starters he didn't even log snaps in 6 of those games, so that brings the total down to 7 in 22, which averages out to about a five sack season, which isn't that bad for a rotational lineman. Considering he got limited snaps in most other games, and given the fact that he has yet to start, that on the surface is not that bad. Take the fact that he has 5 sacks in his last 7 games, when he was given the most playing time and that puts him on pace for an 11.5 sack season as a rotational D-lineman, which is phenomenal. Obviously the challenge will be to sustain that level of play over a full sixteen, but the kid has a chance to be a good player and he has a spot on the team. If you just take off the blinders and look from an objective standpoint, the numbers tell the story of a rapidly improving young DE. Just for fun, I bet you couldn't tell me what Cecil Shorts' rookie year line was? 2 receptions for 30 yards and a TD. I bet if it was up to you he would have been cut and labeled a scrub......
