Peko doesn't need to rack up tackles, sacks or even make a huge push on every play.
His job is to open up holes for our LB's and to create room for our other players to do their job. Sometimes he throws guys to the side so a LB can hit the gap, other times he lets them push a little, creating another gap for LB's to fill.
I think with an untrained eye, Peko can easily look like a bad player. He isn't a world beating DT, but we have that already in Geno. Peko does what the coaches ask him, and the scheme asks for him to allow other players to make plays.
In conclusion, Peko is neither bad nor amazing, but he does his role and helps guys like Burfict get into position to make plays.
