Those sacks account for 8 of his 12 solo tackles this year. He's played 71% of the snaps and has only made 4 non-sack solo tackles (and 7 non-sack assisted tackles) in 9 games. Meanwhile he's missed 13% of his tackles. The sacks are nice, but you have to contribute SOMETHING else to be a whole player. It's like how DH in MLB get a big defensive penalty when calculating WAR because they contribute literally nothing to defense which is a large part of calculating contributed value, if all you have is contribution from a single source, it's not as good as guys who have it from 2-3 sources.

Player A
Pass: 8/10
Run: 2/10
Average: 5/10

Player B
Pass: 6/10
Run: 6/10
Average: 6/10
