What is up with Hendrickson?

And held or not, the elite pass rushers fight through holds and double teams and still sack the QB. How many times did we double up Jones last night and he was still wreaking havoc?

I think these comments take from the actual question.... saying that player doesn't have the same "fire" is beyond silly and comparing him to Jones, an inside DT with 15 sacks and up for DPOY, is nonsensical. 

It is pretty simple to me:

Trey had a great year last season, thus teams are going to plan for him, be it chips, double teams, or just scheme.

He is the only pass rusher we have which makes the above much easier.

He is also playing with a broken wrist which probably had some impact.

Hopefully Ossai continues to improve and we draft another Edge, this class is stacked.
