Tyson wasn't very good when he was here.  They drafted him to rush the passer and he has never been good at that.  
He was always decent against the run but later in his career he is even better at that and has crazy talent on both sides of him, behind him at LB/S, and all around him.  Tyson is just good at holding his point and not getting pushed around where he can help the talent around him make plays.

Wrong again.  He was above average in his player grades most years, until the Jags tried making him a DE.  Then he was out of position. And they did not draft him for his sack production, he is an interior lineman.  They drafted him to push the pocket and stuff the run.  Again, I am not defending Gene Smith for where he took him in the first round, but if you do not think he has been a good player, how has he been in the NFL making starts for 11 seasons?  Please do not make absurd arguments on here when you have no idea what you are talking about.
