Peko was excellent in this system. From '08 to '15 he helped anchor a Bengal defense that was 5th in yards allowed, 5th in tds allowed and 7th in rushing yards allowed, and over that period Peko was NUMBER ONE in the league in tackles by an interior lineman.
Peko...........388
Ngata.........379
K. Williams..377
He was wearing down some in '16, but the people that hated on him were hating on him for years before that. People even hated on him after Mike Zimmer said he was the best NT he had coached. Even in Domata's decling years the Broncos were willing to pay him very well to start for them.
That's how it can be "much more clear".
