Quote:Yeah! Let's just look at stats to draft players! If you watch Fowler you would notice that he wasn't asked just to line up and sack the QB on every single play like Ray or Beasley. But I guess it's much easier just to look at numbers than actually watch the players.

I don't have the numbers, but from the eye's perspective, Fowler didn't drop into coverage any more than Beasley. He played Buck End the last 2 years which is kind of like a traditional defensive end that sometimes lines up like a 3-4 outside linebacker when they play up on the line. Its like the defensive line version of the otto. His freshman year he played a lot of linebacker, but in reality, for the last 2 years, he didn't drop into coverage as often as many have been lead to believe.
