But he's better than MJ; MJ was a good run defender, but that was more instinct and using his reach/athleticism to stop the run. When it came to setting the edge/moving laterally, Dunlap was better with his legs tied together (obviously hyperbole, but just shedding light).
*knocks on wood* how many gashing runs have you seen to Hubbard's side in the past 2 years? If anything, he's gotten more TFL than big, outside runs given up.
When it comes to pass rushing, I think it's about even, but do keep in mind that MJ had the one outlier season, where he got 4 sacks in a game and 11.5 on the year. Hubbard gets a bit more per game, sack-wise (and pressures, they're also about the same).
MJ: 44.5 sacks in 155 games = 1 sack every 3.48 games.
Hubbard: 22.5 sacks in 54 games = 1 sack every 2.4 games.
MJ only played one season with Hubbard so I stand by him being a modern day Johnson. That's not saying he isn't better I was just saying comparing him to Johnson because they are both complete player.
Hubbard does everything you want in a edge player and we are lucky to have them.
