Should have known you would chime in to cover for MJ. Sorry, these numbers don't mean crap. Johnson played at tackle, also, and he simply doesn't generate the pressure of Willis. Willis had a sack taken away from a penalty and that alone, with his limited snaps, would have greatly changed his "impact per snap"...and what of your "hurries", etc?
Willis can also rush from the LDE or RDE spot. Johnson was a complete waste of space lined up at RDE. He is nowhere near the player of Willis. He might have been in his prime, but he is a slow, plodding, one-move player now and a complete waste. Great guy, dud of a RDE.
Watch the Baltimore game. You just got a small taste of what Willis could have been doing all season.
