That was misleading and you would have to be Bengals homer to accept that as fact. Six sacks vs three po teams was correct and Zero sacks vs 6 po teams was also correct. Your assumption of 6-8 seeks to assume a 75% sack rate /game while it really is 33% per game. So you are satisfied with our highest paid defensive player disappearing in big games ? He makes 19 million /year for 4million more we could have had Mack who is a game changing defensive force.
6 sacks in 8 games where the team is .500 or higher. It's not a "homer fact". It's a fact. Period.
Who was the 6 playoff teams where Atkins doesn't have a sack? Or even the teams that are .500 or higher?
Actually, 6 sacks in 8 games is actually pretty decent. Especially for a DT. He has a sack in 4 of those 8 games, but also doesn't in 4 of those games.
So Atkins is at 50%, not 33%.
Wait. But you brought up Mack.....
Mack only has 3 sacks in his 5 games against teams that are .500 or higher.
Which is 60%.
I think being only 10% below Khalil Mack as an interior lineman is actually pretty good.
Also, Mack and Atkins play very different positions. At least compare him to other interior defensive lineman.
