I remember someone producing a stat from PFF or something that ranked Hubbard as the leagues best DE in run support?
Does anyone remember this? Also does anyone know where he ranked this year? Did he take a step forward or did he regress?
I saw in 2019 he had like 8 sacks, then only had 2 in 2020, but had 7.5 this year. Those sack numbers aren’t crazy, so I’m wondering if Ossai really is healthy how much danger is Sam’s job realistically in?
Or would we consider pulling the trigger on the move to OLB, and make Wilson and Hubbard our outside backers?
Don't remember the poster who made that thread but I definitely remember Sam being the best edge against the run in 2020.
He really worked on stopping the run specifically that Offseason and even spoke about it openly as he thought he struggled in
this aspect in 2019. In 2020 Sam was even hurt playing with a bad shoulder and did that against the run. I think his pass rush
suffered from the shoulder injury.
I don't see Ossai taking Hubbard's starting spot as he will be used as more of a speller and splash play maker in versatile ways
by Mad Scientist Lou.

I hope he plays a lot of snaps as a pass rusher, but he is not even close to taking Hubbard's job.
Agree, they are different types of players honestly.
