In 2022 a drastic decrease he spent 80% of his snaps as an edge defender but he wasn't the same player. He had more pressures on alot more pass rush attempts in 2022 but was a better player in 2021.
As for Sanders he looks like he is going to be a really good back side flow WILL that can reduce to the edge to rush the passer. He is still slow to recognize route combos in zone coverage and wont be a guy you are going to ask to flip the hips and run down the seam.
You take all of this a bit too seriously. So yes as I stated, Dallas obviously feels he was not a better player in '21 and felt that his true value is that of a pass rusher. As far as Sanders goes he has the traits to make him a very good all around LB. There is nothing that indicates that he cannot improve in coverage and in actuality his movement could be an indicator that with reps and coaching he could actually be a really solid coverage LB.
Numbers are numbers and do not substitute for how a player performs on the field.
