I think it is often forgotten that he is a LDE, and the majority of QBs will see him coming, whereas a lot of the big sack machines are RDEs. He is a very important part on this defense and I like that he keeps putting himself out there like this.
A lot of people suggest that his sack numbers are less impressive because he's a LDE. Thing is, so many great DE's like Reggie White, Strahan and JJ Watt were also LDE's.
These LDE's may not be taking on the top Tackles every week, but it's not like all RT's are scrubs. Also, like you said, they don't get the benefit of coming at the QB's blind side.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
