But the whole D struggled if I can use Hobspin's excuse for our defensive players. Hopefully he bounces back, but probably wont' be until 2020 season.
He was top 5 league wide in QB pressures before he got hurt. As I said sacks aren't a great indicator of a players effectiveness especially as an edge guy because in this video for instance you can see guys running away from him because he was destroying their LT. This video is a minute cut up highlighting a single rush move, it isn't everything he did before getting hurt.
Edit: Actually, before being hurt he was 2nd in pressures only behind Von Miller. His PFF rating of 80.9 was 8th in the entire league when he got hurt.
