That was way off reality as well. Looks like an also-ran. I don't understand.
Atkins has 4.5 sacks (on pace for 7) and is regularly at the QB when he's not being held. Donald has 5.0 sacks. I'm not sure what people want out of the guy. Expectations are too high and I believe the failure of those around him is causing some people to look at Atkins even though he's having a fine season.
Dunlap is also having a typical Dunlap season. The problem is we're not generating pressure from our bit players.
Peko (usually good for 3-4 sacks): 0 sacks
M. Johnson: 2 sacks
MarBUST Hunt: 0 sacks
Will Clark: 3 sacks
Sims: 1 sack
We should probably have at least 10 more sacks out of this group. That's the problem with our line right now. Not Geno and Carlos.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
