Quote:So Fowler causing QBs to step up into the pocket never happened right? Yea, I guess not because they don't show up on the box stats and he's just easily being pushed around the edge huh?


How about those 5 PD he had? Man I guess he really locks people down in coverage huh? I mean, there's no other way a DE could have any PD huh? He wasn't just sitting back and jumping for those PD, he got them from pressure.


All of his pressures, hurries, sacks and PD must have came simply on run downs right?


It's obvious Ngakoue had a great year and nobody expected 8 sacks from him. I just think it's just comical seeing a bunch of you guys down talking Fowler because he didn't have 8+ sacks, yet he was more impactful as a whole, than Ngakoue was.


Yet everybody wants to crown Ngakoue as the legend and Fowler as garbage when a good majority of you don't have a clue about how this scheme was ran this year.


And that's not me saying I know exactly how the coaches ran this scheme, but it really doesn't take much football knowledge to know how basic the scheme was. It's been the same thing for 4 years. Which is why I find it sad that the majority of you still don't understand it after seeing it for 4 years.

Hell, Andre Branch got guys to step up in the pocket. If you're a third overall pick and unable to do that then I don't know what to say. I'm not discrediting the pass deflections. I'm speaking as a pure edge rusher perspective he was embarrassing more often than not in pass rush situations. He got manhandled so many times that you wondered if he was just giving up on the play.
