Peko Played A Hell Of A Game

And this is a common problem with fans here.  If they see a bengal DB get beat a couple of times they claim he can't cover anyone, but on fact every DB in the league gets beat from time to time  Bengal fans just see our DBs get beaten more often because we are always atching the Bengals.  Same tyhing with Peko.  People claim he doesn't make many tackles, but in fact he makes a lot more tackles than most other interior D-linemen in the league.

And if no o0ther DT in the league ever gets pushed back then how do NFL RBs average over 4 yards per carry?  shouldn't they all be getting stuffed at the LOS since no other DT in the league ever gets pushed off the LOS?


Bad DTs get blocked and don't make tackles.  Good DTs shed blockers and get to the RB.  Peko sheds blockers and get5s to the RB more than most other interior D-linemen in the league.
He does have a high motor, no denying that.   But if a NT makes a tackle 8 yards down the field, some might question whether he's really doing his job.

Knowing your love of cherry picking stats, and since I can google too, I looked up his stats.  The first thing that struck me is that since his high water mark in 2011, his numbers have gone down each year, which is exactly in line with what the "haters" say about him--his play is deteriorating, whether you like to admit it or not.
